Pontoon boat Inboard conversion pt1 

Best of luck to you !! Saving a good engine from the scrap yard and thinking outside the box. This is a story worth telling !

I've got me a Buick V6 and electric shift OMC outdrive that I'm thinking about installing on my pontoon boat. You've done a real good job installing your setup. I'd like to see how it goes on the water.

I seen one of these builds years ago. It was amazing.

Looking forward to part 2!

diesel fuel is a great way to loosen that up a lil bit, cheap too. compared to 237 cans of brake clean :)

Nice! I have thought about a similar conversion for mine!!! Lot cheaper than a used $7k outboard.....

Would suggest pulling the motor apart

not many parts available for Volvos, good luck

Well I just seen this but I wish people would know well I hope they would know what they're working with the distributor is not the camshaft the valve cover on the top when he took the valve cover fell off that's not the camshaft either that's the rocker arms I think if you're going to work on something you better understand what you're working on first and then how to work on something so my suggestion is take and run some diesel fuel in the top of that motor so cleans out that oil pan and if you have any questions brother please let me know cuz that's what I usually do is work on boats

Lmfao Those two pieces of diamond plate You just screwed up big time what that's going to do is going to drag water in and flood your motor out I promise you just watch and see bro I'm laughing my ass off right now

You need to protect the bottom of the engine. Not really designed for what you are doing. Good luck with your project

And just to let you know brother you're going about this all the wrong way that pontoon boat is not set up for an inboard outboard motor you better off with the 75 horse the 755 horse motor is 10 times better than that little Volvo I'll try to help you as much as I can bro

Okay the more I watch this and the more I watch this the sicker I get brother if you're going to put that motor in the water like that it'll never lasts you you're going to lose spark you're going to lose the the flywheel is going to get wet it's not going to work right cuz it has a rubber grommet on it you're going to destroy that little motor that is not made for that and it looks like shit
