Default Re: Volvo Diesel I/O


The new generation diesels are comparable in weight to thier gasoline counterparts. Some diesels are lighter. For example, my Grady White had twin Mercruiser 470 (3/7 litre) I/O's. I repowered to twin Cummins Mercruiser 1.7 DTI's, and package weight per engine (motor plus I/O) was actually about 30 pounds less per engine.

Volvo makes nice diesels, check out Yanmar and Cummins-Mercruiser as well.
