I re-powered my 365 with a Beta 37.5 hp engine in 2007. After two years of cruising and about 1200 engine hours, I can say I am very pleased with the engine. It was a failrly easy job, without a lot of modifications. We kept the Borg-Warner Velvet drive transmisssion and the Walter V-Drive (had both re-built) and replaced the shaft, which was worn. Also put in a PSS Shaft seal. We ordered the Beta with a 100 amp alternator and set up a new battery charging system that charges the house bank (4- 6 volt batteries) first and then charges the starting battery through a digital duo charge. The battery banks have their own on/off switches and there is an emergency cross connect switch.  The best part of a new engine is no oil leaks!

I installed an ensign helm chair from West Marine on a removeable pedestal from Swivel-Ease. This way I can still access the lazarette where my propane bottles are stored. It is quite a comfortable arrangement, especially under power on the I.C.W.
