Anyone know the Volvo part # for an alternator for the AQ125A motor?
I have a 1983 Bayliner with the Volvo Penta AQ125A engine with the 270 sterndrive. My alternator is shot, and I need a Volvo part # and or a part # and source for a replacement…….Thanks All!
Just have yours rebuilt – about half price and they usually last just as long.
Your local boat or marine dealer has them. There are very few choices for small gas engines – such as one wire alt or 2 wire alt
or with or without internal regulator.
Try West Marine online or BOW – Boat Owners Warehouse…
Just be sure you get a marine alt
Brunswick Cuts 1400 Jobs and 4 mfg plants
CHICAGO (AP) — Brunswick Corp. — parent company of Mercury Marine, Bayliner Boats and numerous other U.S. boat lines — announced plans to cut 1,400 more jobs.
The announcement, which sent the boat builder’s stock to a more than 15-year low, came four months after the suburban Chicago company said it would eliminate 1,000 jobs because of the falling demand for recreational boats amid a poor economic environment. On Oct. 9, Brunswick executives said worsening financial conditions, including rising oil prices and frozen credit markets, were behind the latest round of cuts.
“We are living and working in the most turbulent economic times in recent history,” Brunswick Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Dustan E. McCoy said in a statement. “The poor economy and the accompanying weak consumer sentiment have pressured marine markets, eroding the demand for boats and engines these past few months at a swifter pace than originally anticipated.”
Brunswick said it will permanently close plants in Pipestone, Minn.; Roseburg, Ore.; and Arlington, Wash.; while “mothballing” a plant in Navassa, N.C. The closures — the latest in a series since 2006 — will be completed by the first quarter of 2009. When the cuts are complete, the company will have closed more than 40 percent of its boat plants that were open three years ago.
Officials said the cuts will save $300 million by the end of 2009.
