Hello all,
I repowered our 2003
Catana 431 in the late spring of 2021. We removed the original
Volvo Penta 2040D BT 3 cylinder 39hp engines and MS25S 2.47:1 saildrives, and replaced the entire system with new VP D2-50 and 130 saildrives. The original engines have about 3600 hours, although this is an estimate as the tach displays gave up about 2 years ago. One
engine is already
sold, but I have both saildrives and 1
engine left
for sale. The engines were running well at the time of the re-power, with no
exhaust smoke, good
compression and the saildrives were servicable, although both drives had minor
shaft seal leaks, allowing
water ingress into the
saildrive oil. I flushed the
saildrive gearboxes and filled them with new
oil after
removal and have stored the 3 components inside in an air conditioned space since then.
The engine has a start panel, new
water pump">raw water pump, 1 new 60A
alternator and new stainless
exhaust elbow.
I'm storing all 3 components in Punta Gorda, FL,
USA. If you're interested, I'll deliver them to a
shipping company, or you can pick up directly from me. Of course,
shipping will be at the buyer's expense.
Pricing for these components is all over the map. There are only a few MD2040D engines online, and they appear to average out around $3200 USD. The saildrives also vary dramatically in
price, with 1 on ebay right now for $4999 USD, and another for $3999 USD.
I will sell the engine for $3000, and the saildrives for $2500 ea. This will undoubtedly be the lowest
price you'll find by quite a margin based on my
internet search today. If you find another engine or saildrive in similar condition for less
money, let me know and we can negotiate. I'm not looking to get rich here, just to receive an adequate price for the components, and to facilitate a quick
sale. If you're interested, leave a post in the forum, and we'll communicate further by other mediums.
John Johnson, Punta Gorda, FL,
