Volvo MD5 with gearbox for SALE - was running

[Mystique R333]

I'm removing my old VOLVO MD5 DIESEL MOTOR to repower with electric system. SO OLD MOTOR FOR SALE.

It has a new (two years old but only two hours running time since) $360 stainless exhaust replacing the old cast iron one that can fail and flood the yacht. All hoses replaced, new stopc*ck on tank and a new $100 start switch. Electrical problem is stopping it from starting and I'm not spending more money trying to get it going. Was running last time started two years ago when new mast fitted and I have video of it rev & fwd and running fine, no smoke...

Anyone interested, please contact me. Will be coming out in next weeks and will include exhaust system, gearbox, starter, wiring, panel, hosing, etc.

If no interest from H25 owners, I'll be Ebaying it. Can send photos one posted here... Inspection at Williamstown RYCV welcome..

Hi Bob

I'm in Williamstown/Melbourne. Have included old photo of cast iron exhaust that was replaced by stainless version and has had only about 2 hours running time. It cost me $380 back in 2009 from Mariner Engineering here (who did the motor work), sorry don't know where from, but I'd be willing to part off that, and any other components you'd like. Motor was running but there is an electrical fault stopping it starting and not wanting to spend more as I'm going electric.

For the whole motor, Including fuel lines, new water hoses, fuel filter, muffler, gearbox, choke cable, reasonably young 55Amp alternator, starter motor (which may be faulty) and even 20l steel tank if interested. (have video of it running and shifting from reverse to forward) I'd be wanting $800 plus you pay/organise freight (I paid over $960 on repairs to motor and it has been run only two hours since as was having work on hardstand done). I have someone else interested in the Start panel and new start switch separately, if you don't want that for extra $150, but if you wanted the gearbox and throttle control, I'd be willing to sell that plus cables for $200 (could keep it for my electric setup).

Motor is still in our yacht but removal is imminent as electric ready to drop in now. If you want to help remove, we could arrange more discount!

Let me know if you're interested. You'd have to pay freight though. PM an e-mail for more photos.

Colin, I'm guessing you will have disposed of the old Volvo, but if not I'd be interested to talk to you. I just noticed you have a later (I assume) rear engine mount and mounting blocks. I have the type that has the engine 'hanging' from the rear mounts, where yours is similar to the front mount arrangement.

Anyway let me know, as you can see meanwhile I was able to log into the forum (lost the log in with a book I had), hopefully Dough Sharpin will have the old mould or know who does...Greg

Hi Greg

Actually motor only came out last week and up for sale.

If you need motor or parts for your Volvo, I've just removed my MD5A to change to electric power plant of my own design. Volvo has new stainless wet exhaust pipe (cost $340) but rest of the motor ran two years ago but still has compression but has electrics issues from a failed switch and probably faulty ground connection. If interested, let me know. It is all up for sale - old tank, fuel system/filter, exhaust system (needs work), new switch, stop cable, old motor/gearbox etc.

Hi, did you manage to sell it?

[Mystique R333]

Md5 motor is SOLD

But still have 3/4" shaft (needs remachining as is oversize somehow just in front of prop P bracket) and folding prop base - teeth on one blade sheared off (12 x 6 folding), but may be useful for parts.

Electric is mounted and electrical connections willbe done in next two weeks prior to relaunching.
