Fred are you mixing the Swedish car/plane manufacturer SAAB with the Norwegian boat engine manufacturer SABB?
Sabb were acquired by the Frydenbø Group some years ago. Parts for Sabb engines can still be found at their online store. A problem tracing page can be found here. (If Norwegian is not your native tongue, you will have to use some online service like Google to translate)
After stopping manufacturing their own engines, Sabb has been marinising Ford, Iveco and Mitsubishi base engines. Like a couple of other Norwegian semi diesel brands, they moved into producing CPP propeller systems and gearboxes when competition from high volume engine manufacturers became to fierce in the sixties and seventies.
