Volvo Penta removal + Engine

[alanandrews]

I am planning to remove a dead old Penta outdrive and engine (350 cobra ?) from my houseboat. This is being replaced by an outboard so no concern on precision engineering.<br />If anyone has any basic knowledge or plans sketches to guide me thro any issues I might have I would greatly appreciate it. I see the engine looks simple enough, just 2 floor mounts and the water hoses once it's out of the water.<br />My plan is to cut out the outdrive from the Transom (glassing this up afterwards), and I see about 6 nuts holding the gear box to the engine. Is this where I would split it ? Are there any pins etc that will cause me a problem ?<br />Any advice appreciated, remember this thing is going to the scrap heap afterwards.<br />Thanks<br />Alan

Re: Volvo Penta removal + Engine

hello<br /> easist way to do that will be to ask a local tech to trade. he pulls it and all of it is his. you did not post enough info for us to tell you. volvo never made a cobra. the made the cobra/sx as a joint venture with OMC the the SX. in 96 Volvo bought OMC about 95.<br /> if it were me I would ask a tech to pull it and dispose of the parts.<br /> good luck and keep posting
