 Mudbuddy Kohler 40HP I was looking for some feedback on the Kohler 40 HP engine. I searched several forums and can't find anything. I heard Mudbuddy sold out of these so there's a few in the field.

Re: Mudbuddy Kohler 40HP Check with Deadbird8, I believe he test drove one for MB for a month or so.

Re: Mudbuddy Kohler 40HP If you use the search function, it has been talked about a few times. Looked like mb was having issues getting them from kohler. PD and GT are gonna stick with the 35/36 if I remember correctly. They didn't like the way they pushed the boats.

Re: Mudbuddy Kohler 40HP There were some issues with the engine and Kohler stopped selling them for marine service until they worked them out. They are supposed to re-release them again this year.

Re: Mudbuddy Kohler 40HP Thanks! I'm in the market to replace my longtail this summer and i was looking at the MB Kohler 40HP. I guess I'm leaning toward the stock 35 but i was concerned with the cracked block problems.

Re: Mudbuddy Kohler 40HP The cracked blocks are why i was looking at the Kohler. It's human nature to want mod any engine i own. Motorcycles, diesel truck engine so i know i will mod my mud motor also. I would probably wait until the warranties up. I still haven't heard from any owns of this engine.

Re: Mudbuddy Kohler 40HP I"ve had mine for 4 months been to Ark & West Tenn with it and have had no probs at all, worked well in that cold there, got 15 hrs on engine and it pushes my16/44 GT like a scalded Dog. I had a 35 van hyper, the Kohler seems to be a smoother running engine also they come with the Duals new. Says Ronbow

Re: Mudbuddy Kohler 40HP The Kohler 40 is a smoother running engine than the Briggs.
I ran a prototype with a Mikuni on it for about 25 hours and it ran really well pushing my heavy boat.
