Default Re: Marine diesel

95 through 465hp Cummins engine/Mercruiser drive matched sets, or
110hp through 375hp Volvo diesel/Volvo Penta drive, or
105 through 450 Yanmar diesel/Mercruiser drive sets, or
185 & 220 hp BMW diesel/BMW MkII drive.

The Cummins/Merc setup will give you access to the most service points, and the Bravo drives are very reliable.

I also found mention of 220 & 310 hp Mercedes diesel engine/OMC drive combos being sold in Australia.

The only mention I could find of a Volkswagen diesel/stern drive combo suggested that the VW would be mated to a Volvo drive in the future and available in a 80 and 120hp config.

Can anyone else find more info?
