davidk65 Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Is anyone aware of a conversion kit or know of a method of converting a Volvo Penta 2002 to take Hurth gear box? The details behind this question are: The Penta engine complete with gear box, model M.S. 2B, was bought at an attractive price to replace a knacked engine (of a different make) in a steel canal boat. When the engine and gear box arrived it was noticed that out put flange from the gear box was angled downwards and did not meet up with prop shaft flange. The installer, being a resourceful soul,lowered the front engine mounts and lifted the rear of the engine to allow the output flange of the gear box to line up with the prop shaft coupling. The problem now, after some months of operation,is the gear box has failed and it is to expensive to repair. As the engine is OK, the plan is now to fit a Hurth gear box, or some other,to the engine so that when the engine is lowered the out put flange and prop shaft coupling will align correctly. Has anyone come across a kit or a method that would allow this conversion to take place and be effective? Any helpful comments appreciated.
