Volvo Penta AQ Series Parts — Carbureted Sterndrive Engines

The Volvo Penta AQ series covers the carbureted gasoline sterndrive engines that powered recreational powerboats through the 1970s, 1980s, and into the 1990s — the AQ125, AQ145, AQ170, AQ200, AQ225, AQ260, and AQ271 series, along with the GL and GS variants that bridged into the electronic fuel injection era. These engines are paired with the classic AQ sterndrive leg that defined Volvo Penta's entry into the US market and built the brand's reputation for European engineering quality in recreational boating.

These are aging engines now, and that creates a real parts challenge. Volvo Penta has discontinued many AQ-series OEM components, authorized dealers are fewer, and the boats themselves — well-built, often lovingly maintained classics — deserve better than a parts dead end. Captain's Locker stocks aftermarket replacement parts for the AQ engine and drive series sourced from Regitar USA, Recmar, and Sierra Marine, covering the service items these engines need most: fuel system parts including fuel pumps and carburetor components, raw water pump impellers and water pump service kits, ignition components including points, condensers, distributor caps and rotors for pre-electronic 

ignition systems, serpentine and V-belts, thermostat assemblies, exhaust manifold gaskets, and anode kits for AQ sterndrive legs.

These engines were built to last and many are still earning their keep. We believe they deserve a proper source for service parts — call 310-726-3339 or email store@captains-locker.com with your AQ engine model and year and our team will work to confirm what's available.
