I have a 1997 Four Winns Horiz

I have a 1997 Four Winns Horizon RX and I am trying to sort out the exact engine model in the boat. The serial number and production number are not recognized on Volvo Penta's website so I am hoping someone out there can help. The metal tag attached to the rear of the motor reads as follows:

PROD# 3858440
TYPE LB 43L TBI
SERIAL# 0000007019

I believe the prod# refers to the block but the type descriptor "LB 43L TBI" doesn't seem to match up with anything I can find nor does the serial number. What I would like to know is the year the engine was built and the Volvo engine type as in "4.3GLPYBC" so that I can more easily order parts. I needed a raw water pump and it took quite a while to sort through all the options - I finally used a part photo to determine the correct part but that option is not always available. It is very possible (likely) that the engine is not original to the boat. Thanks for your help!
 
"TYPE LB 43L TBI" If

"TYPE LB 43L TBI" If im not mistaken means LongBlock 4.3L Throttle Body Injection!! and im surprised that Volvo doesn't recognize your s# as mine shows right up and it is 25 years old
 
"JCH - Thanks for your respons

"JCH - Thanks for your response. What you say makes a great deal of sense. I am curious as to which website you are using to look up the serial number - maybe I am looking in the wrong place. Thanks, Art"
 
i use the volvo penta database

i use the volvo penta database at volvopenta.com but not all engines are listed. Im not sure why?? My advise to you is buy a seloc or clymer manual for the engine and drive model.They are very useful from everything to simple maintenance or storage to changing raw water pumps and impellers.
