Jack,

We bought a new 43SB with these engines this spring. THe engines run great - be sure they have the factory service bulletin applied to the electronic controls - prevents unintentional shifting!!  We have ZF transmissions, and there is a delay of one second before the trannys engage - major consideration when docking!! I challenged this all summer with Volvo, but did not get a response other than "that's normal."

Good luck,

Jim
