Hi All,
Just picked up my first sail project (85 hunter 31) and I was planning on pulling and rebuilding the current 16hp 2GMF engine but have an opportunity to instead get a newer (and in much better shape) 20hp 3GMD, the 3GMD includes a 2.6 km3-A and the wiring harness for an irresistible price. Curious to know if this swap has been done already. There's little for peripherals on the old one that would be salvageable after years of sitting. This project is going to be somewhat of a total refit, so all would have been coming out anyways, just curious to know if there's any pros/cons I should consider based on others experience with these 2 motors.. Thanks!
