Just an extra bit on the Beta. I had a look at all the engines on the
market and visited all the makers and distributors in the UK. The
only engine that came anywhere near fitting the bill was the Beta.
they were helpful, changed the engine feet so as to fit the Vega
Engine Bearers, Fresh Water cooled, standard gearbox, spares at
reasonable prices, worldwide support, ample HP, technical help. Beta
really have tried to help the Vega Association so I cannot praise
them too highly. Yes, I do make a little profit from selling the
engines but with the help, fitting instructions and photos available
a lot of time and effort goes into it.. I know that Volvo have a
great name but you try and obtain the spares and see the price.
Anyone that has tried for spares for their MD6A will understand what
a rip-off they are. They try and make their money on the spares and
are very far from helpful. I think that Volvo are living on their
past name and glory, certainly not on the service provided today.
