I’ve owned this classic for around 3 years and have carried out a huge amount of work, including: Full internal structure rebuild, re-foam filled and new cockpit sole Full repaint New fuel tank Engine rebuild New starter motor N...

Re: 5th Hamble Rally - 19th / 20th / 21st June 2020
Hi! I’m keen and interested in this event, I confess I’m not currently a member, so of course I’d join. I’m local, can attend daily and have a mooring available further up river. It would be me in my ‘64 Fjord 21 and some family (which ever combination of wife and kids want to join). What’s the late...

Re: Help to ID early Volvo Penta Aquamatic
I hope someone can help with an issue I have with this engine and drive. I've been struggling with the shift setup still, but it turns out the cause is a seized bearing in the shifter. The bearing is the needle bearing in the shift mechanism, I can't get a size off it easily, I can find a part numbe...

Re: Does anyone recognise this engine?
Outline of the engine and drive look like Volvo AQ95/100 to AQ120/100 family (same as my '64 Fjord). Though the outline looks like a single down draught carb. Fits with Solitaire's comment above on 1959 VP advertising.

I'm definitely interested, if the Fjord is finished on time. I live local and have a berth I can use at Universal or will commute back to Lymington by boat. How do I book?

Re: Help to ID early Volvo Penta Aquamatic
If Solitare or someone else could help please... I’ve had the time to start work on the Fjord. With an ingnition service the engine runs sweet, I just need a coil and then I can run it for a decent length of time. It starts first pull and idles and revs very smoothly. The AQ100 drive is a bit more o...

Oh, and I was pretty sure it is the pre-1966 shape

Re: Help to ID early Volvo Penta Aquamatic
Thanks Solitaire, that all makes sense. I have a pile of service parts on the way, but haven’t yet located any diaphragms for the Stormbergs. Do you remember what sort of speed / prop you were running ‘back in the day’? I’m just planning on getting this sea worthy for now so I can get out on the wat...
