I am looking at a boat that has twin TAMD 41A Volvos and I would like to know if there are any general concerns about the reliability of these engines. |

They are '88's. I have also heard not good things about Volvo Penta gears. These are MS4A mechanical gears Have you had trouble assuming the same gears in your boat? |

Donald...Read other postings first by searching the site, then start ur own thread if you cannot find the info... Not cool asking ur question on another posters different topic thread. |
