Having spent a fun few days before Easter fixing my engine-to-outdrive interface on one side of my Princess 33(check those bellows boys and girls, if anyone wants to see the result of water getting in, let me know and I will send some scary pictures)I wondered if there was anyone out there who knew anything about the 40 series of Volvo Diesels. In particular what the main differences are between the varying models (and power inputs)? Mine, for instance are AQD40A, which I understand are 130 HP. But I also believe ther is a 165HP version of the same motor. What are the differences, and can mine be upgraded? Also if anyone is facing an emotional outdrive moment I would be happy to share my repair experience, or at least offer moral support!
Fair do's to Volvo though - their spares might be expensive but their engineering is first class, and even though Marine Projects (like many others I suspect) insist on putting 5 foot engines in 4 foot holes, even the nastiest and most difficult looking fastener undid as it was supposed to.
