LNVT’s were designed so the engine could be removed without having to take the boat apart. Replacement engines include: Cummins 4BT3.9M; 160hp Yanmar 4LHA-HTP; Ford Lehman SP135; Mercruiser/Cummins 2.8L D-Tronic; and Volvo TAMD41H BT 140 hp. Teddy Bear #15 had this to say about replacing their BMW with a Cummins: We had to change prop (expensive), build up stringers, relocate Cummins turbo from rear to top of engine (several custom parts), relocated expansion and overflow tanks, new wiring harness, new gauges and teak box to house gauges, new muffler, relocate exhaust from under floor boards to starboard under deck lockers, increase size of exhaust flange at stern, re-route water hoses and longer battery cables, etc, etc. Would estimate well over 100 hours additional work.
