Overview: AQ 200-290 engine and drive series
The Volvo Penta AQ 200-290 models are classic marine engines and drive variants that have been used in leisure yachts and pleasure craft, among others. The series includes typical gasoline engines and, in combination with Sterndrive drives, a wide range of spare parts for maintenance and repair, which are still available.
Filters & maintenance parts
The following components are relevant for scheduled maintenance and service intervals:
-
Oil filters, fuel filters and air filters - ensure clean operation
-
Service kits/ maintenance kits - including seals and wear parts
-
Spark plugs and glow plugs - for reliable ignition and starting
-
Starter motor and starter components - for reliable starting behavior
These parts contribute to efficiency, service life and reliability in operation.
Gaskets & sealing components
AQ 200-290 spare parts cover a wide range of sealing functions:
-
Housing and flange gaskets
-
Simmerrings & O-rings
-
Seal kits for drive/exhaust systems
They ensure tight transitions in the engine, fuel and coolant system and prevent oil and water leaks.
Cooling & fuel supply
Spare parts for the AQ cooling and fuel systems include:
-
Water pumps & impeller kits - ensure constant cooling performance
-
Thermostats & cooling hoses
-
Fuel pumps & filter units
These components minimize power losses and support stable operating temperatures.
Electrics, sensors & starter system
The relevant spare parts include
-
Sensors - temperature, pressure, position
-
Starter & relay
-
Electrical connection components
They ensure reliable signal transmission and stable electrical function during operation.
Mechanics & drive assemblies
AQ 200-290 spare parts also cover mechanical assemblies:
-
Bearings & shaft components
-
Pressure and switching system parts
-
Propeller and sterndrive parts (e.g. bellows, seals)
-
Cardan joints and repair kits
These assemblies contribute to mechanical integrity and power transmission.
Selection by reference number
The reference number is the most reliable way to correctly allocate spare parts for the AQ 200-290 series. It defines dimensions, connection and material parameters that are decisive for motor and drive parts.
Recommended selection logic:
-
Take the reference number from the old part or from the parts number list
-
Check year of manufacture and model variant
-
Select the right spare part
This will help you avoid incorrect orders and installation problems.
