I am contemplating re powering my Pearson 323. The original engine is a Volvo MD 11C. It is backwards with a V drive. It would be useful if the replacement could have access to filters impellers etc near the rear of the engine as replacing an impeller from inside the ****pit locker would be a challenge!Would love to hear from any other Pearson 323 owners who repowered with a Beta. What model they used and who installed it.
The boat is in CT. I Would also welcome comments from dealers who have done this and any referrals to owners who had you do the job.
We have provided repower engines for quite a few Pearson 323's over the years and I would be happy to discuss the particulars with you directly.
The Beta 25 with a ZF 15 MIV V-drive transmission replaces your current MD11C. Engine beds will need to be modified a bit and a high rise exhaust elbow can be used to direct the exhaust back towards the stern of the vessel.
Give me a call or e-mail for current pricing. I most likely have photos that I can send you.
