Hi all are volvo Penta legs interchangeable
Why I'm asking is that I've got a spare 290 sp leg that was off a 171c 4 cylinder petrol motor and I was wondering if this will bolt onto a AD41B 6 cylinder Diesel motor?? That's got a 290 sp leg on it??

Ayuh,.... It might bolt on, but I'd think there's a Big difference in the gear ratios,....

Depending what's wrong with the diesel outdrive, you could swap the diesel lower onto the 171 outdrive and you'd be geared correctly. Note: the lower gear assemblies can be swapped but you need to reshim and swap bearing races from the intermediate section of the drive. I haven't done this myself, but don't believe its too difficult.
