    OMC Cobra to Volvo Penta SX, what transom pieces fit?

    I have a boat that has had the Cobra leg replaced with a SX-S Volvo Penta outdrive. It still has the OMC transom pieces. Everything works perfect! And has for many years. The old OMC transom pieces have some corrosion, and I would like to replace with Volvo Penta SX pieces. Which parts will be...

    Can I use counter rotating as a single?

    I have been searching for a used outboard, only 1, not twins. I found a c/r engine cheap, can I run that as a single? I can't think of any major drawbacks to this but am I missing something? On a 2006 200HP Evinrude the rotation is changed in the lower unit ? So just the lower unit is...

    Bravo 1 reliability and maintenance requirements ? 4.3-220HP

    I'm thinking of building a small commercial crab boat with a new 4.3 MPI Seacore 220 HP and a Bravo 1 drive. I don't abuse drives but there is a lot of shifting while hauling and re setting pots. How will the B1 hold up ? 200 hours a year, 60 day season. What kind of service will the drive...

    Volvo Penta TAMD 41A

    This is normal idle when warmed up. Normal for my boat. I am going to try Cetane booster this summer. I have asked numerous mechanics, parts guys the exact differences between 41A and 41B, no one seems to know, even a basic question if the cylinder heads are the same. If a piston-liner change...

    This is cold start on a cold day, 100 yards from dock. Rebuilt injectors, clean aftercooler, rebuilt turbos. Engine has good compression. It has glow plugs but they do not work, very expen$ive from Volvo Penta.

    Ditched my Espar for a Propex

    3 years ago I got rid of my Espar D2 and replaced it with a Propex propane heater. Fairly easy swap. No problems so far, very reliable and they are much cheaper than a Espar or Webasto. I did also install 2 propane alarms . http://www.suremarineservice.com/propex-propane-forced-air-heaters.aspx

    Rebuilding TAMD41A, convert to 41B or 41P ?

    I have twin TAMD 41A's that are getting tired and due for rebuild. Supposedly B's and P's smoke less when cold due to different pistons and injector tips-spray pattern. Is B or P better? What all parts need to be changed? Piston/liner kits and injectors. Anything else? The parts schematic I...
