Hallberg Rassy 26. Is it possible to replace my Volvo MD5a with a new engine and if so what is recommended and the easiest and most economical to fit? Thanks, Sean.

All things being equal

I would go with Beta Marine on a Kubuta engine .

Thanks Ross, Will be obtaining some quotes. Would you also happen to know the correct size of propeller required for this engine ?

Hi Ross, Thanks for the link - very helpful. Yes, I am based in Hayling Island, Chichester, Sussex, England. Discovered this morning that the cylinder head gasket is blowing by the inlet/air filter, so hopefully will not need the new engine just yet ! Regards, Sean.

Hi Sean, That's good news! a 250 £ Repair bill is much better than a

3000 £ bill fo a new engine. Let us know how it turns out. Ross
