Hi there,
I am restoring a 63 Storebro Solo with a direct drive volvo penta aq130c petrol engine. The engine is running fine but I cannot get any movement on the gear change. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Sheesh.... this is like pulling teeth!There are some pics on Storeland Classic Boats website in the Netherlands. It shows restoration pics of a number of solos.
Many thanks for all the suggestions. I found once the engine was warm the gear shift worked fine in both forward and reverse using a wrench (as I don't have the connectors for the old push pull cable). I'm thinking of making a gear shift with a simple direct linkage from the console to the gearbox.
