Volvo Penta MD-6A Marine Diesel: Will it fit an Ariel???

Please offer any info on this subject.

Looking to repower my Ariel, Louise Michel.

Currently using an 8HP Yamaha 2 stroke....which I prefer to the Tohatsu 6 sail pro (Yamaha is quieter, more reliable carb.....ran great for West End to Fort Lauderdale non stop 30 hours)

The problem is pulling the outboard in and out of the well every time I use her....and I am on a mooring ball so it isn't as easy as pulling her out and onto a dock to rinse.

Anyhow....please pass along any info.

Thank you.
