    I like to buy a 1994 Sealine 450 with 2 Volvo Penta engines. A lot of the electrical cabeling is damaged by mouse. I like to remove all and upgrade the complete electrical/electronic system to a Volvo Penta EVC system with bus and glass cockpit system. From where i can get the informations to design the system and what kind of parts i have to purchase?

    I would imagine that you would have to buy the parts from Volvo. It sounds like doing that would open a can of worms that you'd never get solved.

    That is correct. I try to get all the parts from Volvo out of one hand. But it is very difficult to get informations about this.

    If you can supply me with the engine details, type and serial No.; I can probably head you in the right direction as to which parts you need.

    I don't think this will be possible. If the original Volvo Penta engines are not run by a Volvo Penta EVC system, Volvo Penta will not have an EVC software to support the engines fitted on the Sealine.
