Mercruiser to Volvo Repower

[hunti]

More worldly wisdom required!

Considering going from a 5.0 mercruiser installation to a 5.0 volvo installation from bravo 3 to dp drive - anyone had any experience of this - mostly looking for issues with the transom shields and adaptability.

Thanks all

Budget £500 to have the transom blanked, filled, glassed and cut to the new VP hole and you should be fine, if by chance the VP shield is larger all round than the Merc then you have an excellent result but I don't know if that is the case. £500 was my cost when going from a VP290 leg to VP DPE leg...

I had heard that the VP transom hole was bigger then merc so you may be ok, although its entirely possible I have it the wrong way about.

There are different cut-out sizes for the various vp outdrives.

"Big" includes 290, DP-A -> DP-E, DP-G, DP-H etc.
"Small" includes DP-S, SX as found on petrols and D3.
