Thanks Ken, I will go with the shorter cable. Love your videos. I understand you need a permit from the UK government. But you should make Chagos islands. even just anchor for the night. All the best, Randall A54 #56

Re: Volvo warning
Sv Garulfo
Paul, To find out what the error code is, you need to press the rotokey button long enough (7sec) to get in OEM mode, then you’ll see the fault(s) and select them to get the codes. Those are references in the workshop manual that will indicate what the problem is. It is now available in the ‘Volvo Penta’ folder. Hope this will help. Let us what you find in case we can collectively help. Best Thomas GARULFO A54-122 Hiva Oa, French Polynesia

Re: How to clean the hull from diesel soot

Hello Clive,

As all the larger Ale mels are center cockpit and the exhaust exits on port of the center cockpit, this is not readily feasable as you would need to drill a hole in the engine bay aft bulkhead. This would destroy the “watertight bulkhead”. In my opinion, not a good idea. The Volvo TMD 22 seems the worst offender. Boats are a compromise and at time of construction these engines met the Amel requirement. You’ll likely live with the problem… like the rest of us… :-)

Re: How to clean the hull from diesel soot
Clive Chapman
A slightly left field approach...and with the caveat I’m not (yet) an owner!
Is there any reason why you couldn’t fashion a short extension to the exhaust so it exits 5-10cm off the transom? Would that be enough to push 95% of the smuts away from the boat?

You can read in your Volvo manual which error codes are displayed. But then you still don't know which error is present. In any case, you need a Volvo technician with a VODIA tester, who can read the error memory of your ECU and delete it later. In our case an experienced electronic technician first tried his luck, but he could only suspect a sensor error. We then called the Volvo hotline to get a Volvo technician, which took time because we were on a small Greek island and didn't want to continue with the engine. With the tester he found the fault in two minutes: the boost pressure sensor. It had to be ordered, it was not in stock from Volvo in Greece, so it had to be delivered from Sweden. The whole thing cost us three weeks of our holidays and 1100 Euros. The (BOSCH) sensor costs about 150€, in our bill it were 280 €! The difference were diagnosis and traveling costs. Grrr... It's a huge mess with the fully electronically controlled engines, just like in a car. In case of malfunctions you can only do the basics without tester and expertise. It's unimaginable when you are on a long passage and the error message comes. But the Volvo man had one small consolation: the engines all have an emergency program in background like in cars, that allows you to continue driving in a reduced gear without the engine breaking down. Of course, the oil and cooling must be right. Hope this may help you a little bit, I like to recommend you to get directly in Touch with "VOLVO Action service“, a 24/7 „global break down service in 28 languages“.

Volvo warning
Paul Dowd and Sharon Brown
Hi all,
I’ve recently started getting the following error message from my Volvo 110:
Caution Check engine Service required Torque reduced
I changed the oil, oil & fuel filters and impellor, but the error message remains. I can’t see anything about this in the user manual. Any ideas? Am I supposed to tell it I’ve carried out the service? (like you do for some cars) I doubt it though as this is the first time in 8 years I’ve seen this.

Re: Hatch handle seat (corners) for Goiot tradition series
Hi Mike, Just a note about Rig-Rite in Rhode Island. They can be very hard to reach, I always had to leave a message, and they call back from a private number. Also make sure to ask specifically about shipping costs. I ordered a replacement pawl for a winch and ended up paying a hefty fee for shipping this already very expensive part (a single pawl and spring for a size 10 winch). They will not volunteer any information either, you need to specifically ask. Just a friendly warning. Justin

Re: Hatch handle seat (corners) for Goiot tradition series
Charles Bell
Hello Mike, I understand where you are coming from on the Goiot replacement parts. I just CNC'd up a full replacement set for the hatches on my boat, pictures attached. I can certainly make more. If you can send me the part you want to be replicated, or else make a detailed sketch, I am sure we can make you smile :) Charles, SV Jupiter Mango #29
