    hi all,

    iv got a sort of problem with the Volvo AQA151s on my boat

    its a 1998 Sunseeker Mexico 24


    both engines have been well serviced over the years basically they both run 100% until you try to moore the boat the engine that has the steering pump on drops the revs and stalls I don't know if this is a common thing or not or it is as simple as raising the idol speed

    any advice would be much appreciated

    Its just an engine, the basics are the same. Petrol/diesel?

    Volvo penta agent here

    You say it's services often however boat owners idea of often normally isn't at all! Not saying your one of them

    Pre-filters- what are you using?
    Fuel condition?

    Assuming your on 190 drives? Duo, or single?
