Hi
Our current location is Weymouth England.
We have just purchased a new/used engine to put in our yacht to replace the absolutely worn out one.
We currently have a Volvo Penta MD17C which came the boat. The original engine was a Perkins 4108.
We have purchased a Volvo MD22L. It came with a angled gearbox and apparently we need a straight one.(We did not do our home work).
My question is what is the difference apart from the obvious which is the angle. Can we buy a part to change the output direction?
We are totally clueless and don't want to be ripped off by the Volvo dealers. I know that the MD22 is the same as the Perkins Prema M60 so would it be cheaper to get a perkins gear box?
