Volvo penta 9hp outboard motor

[OMCFREAK]

g'day my volvo penta 9hp outboard was making a deep knocking sound so i tore it apart an found it was the gudegon pin bearing on #1 cylinder. the pin was severely chatter marked and the little bronze bearing had been cut through and also had chatter marks, luckyly the con rod bearing surface had no damage. i was wondering where would i find a replace ment as i have searched the web and i only find sterndrive parts and i have been advised that a local bearing traders would not have it. or is this not worth repairing as the penta is so old <br /><br />thanks

Not really familiar with the Penta, but as a general rule you must have the model number to get any useful advice.<br /><br />If you have that tcoutboard.com should be able to help you if anyone can.<br /><br />Good luck.

You are not likely to get parts now. If the engine is worth the effort perhaps you could find someone who could machine up the bits you need. I've got a VP51 (5hp) and that is definitely not worth going to any trouble to repair if anything were to go wrong.
