    Default Volvo penta 4.3GL

    I am planning to swap the 6 cylinder 4.3GL out of my boat and replace it with the original 4 cylinder 3.0GL.

    If anyone is interested in a nice running 4.3GL (or if you know anyone that is) please shoot me an Email.

    Thanks,
    Brian

    Call me curious, why are you swapping out?

    I wanted to go back to the original engine for the boat. The 4.3L adds ~250lbs directly on the transom (compared to the original 4-cyl). Doesn't seem a lot of weight, but with a boat as small mine, I can't go anywhere near the stern of the boat without water flooding in my deck drain holes. My logic was since I'm doing so much structural work to the boat right now, maybe just swap out the motor. I have reconsidered, and now I'm keeping the 4.3L and doing some other things to help keep the deck above the waterline.
