I have recently purchased a project boat - Bayliner Contessa 28' 1985 in great condition except
for the engine, transom assembly and outdrive. The engine in it is a Volvo Penta 260A and the
numbers on the transom assembly in the engine compartment are Drive Unit 867900 8505 serial number 701019. The outdrive itself is a duoprop but has no info on it. I have a complete
replacement engine which I was advised to get by 3 different volvo Penta guys. It is a 572/PS S/N 4100135937 model #? 868518. Other numbers on the data plate of this engine state: Drive Unit DP-C 872205 and 3102124750 (SN?). It also says Transom assembly 104114011 and 4101508441
Phew!!! I was advised this engine is a much newer version of the 260A. My question is what
transom assembly and outdrive are compatible with this engine and the existing hole in the
boat? Or will I need to adapt something?
