Hi
I am pulling out my Volvo


Hi
I am pulling out my Volvo Penta 2003T diesel after it being cooked. (Mariner 32 ketch 1971.)
What engine will fit in it's place without me remodeling the boat?

"I've just done the same thing - put a Volvo D1 into the place once occupied by the 2003. It was a sail drive unit and it fitted exactly onto the ring for the diaphragm. The two engine mounts at the front of the engine are located higher than the 2003 but the width is identical so it's easy to make some spacers to accomodate them. You need to lift the engine about 60mm. The controls, oil filler and dipstick are on the opposite side to the old engine, but they were still okay for me in the engine compartment.

The D1 30 has the same output, and I used the same propellor and the boat performs very well. It took me about 50 hours work to do the swop, including rewiring the batteries and remodelling the battery compartment."
