The Universal was a “drop in” with the same footprint as an A4, If I’m not mistaken. Same thing with the newer 4-cyl M35B that is in my 38.
I should think it was a tight fit in a 29, but doable.

I would be surprised. Original spec must be a 2-Cyl Yan'erkins with about 15hp, no? They can't all have come with A4's.

As parts go I never had trouble finding the "marine-ized" versions, And as they are based on Kubota tractor engines, there is a lot of information about finding the non-marine parts at a cheaper price.

I haven't had to buy many parts for it in the 18 year I've had her, but when I need the parts they were available. The parts aren't cheap, but seem to be available. Other than that, I just turn the key, push the button and away we go. If it is professionally rebuilt, it seems like a steal to me.

Does anyone have any experience with these? Are parts available? The seller says its been completely rebuilt and has one hour on it, was on eBay earlier this year for $4,5000, why didn't it sell?? My '78 29-1 has long since had the A4 gutted along with the fuel tank, panel, shaft and everything but the strut, gone! It was gifted to me with a long shaft 9.9. She's on the hard here in Mississippi, needing a few other things as well. I just cant bring myself to launch her with that O/B astern. So the question I'm asking is.... Pull the trigger on the M4 or hold off, wait for a better opportunity?
