Hi
We own a 1961 aluminium boat (Guggisberg Aluma) with a Volvo Penta AQ150B / 250B Drive, apparently swapped in 1969 to replace a weaker 4-cylinder engine.
As expected, at least one of the exhaust elbows is badly rusted and probably beyond repair. These parts seem to be unavailable as spare, though.
Can someone give us some advice regarding possible solutions - are there any conversion kits still available, or do we have to consider an engine swap - expensive and quite complicated because of swiss anti-pollution laws...
Thanks in advance
Patrick
