Hi Danny, thanks for your thoughts, I have been careful with the engine load by bringing the throttle up until the engine doesn't rev anymore and then backing off.

Re: Volvo Penta TMD22 Low RPM
Miles,
Can you explain the procedure the mechanic used to determine this please.
Did he bypass the fuel tank?
If so, at what point? I am curious for future reference. Thanks.

Re: [Amel] Re: Bearing sizes for Bow Thruster?
Thanks for the info John, I do feel bad asking for part dimensions and not order these from Amel. But on the other hand will admit I still have not digested the fact Amel (Martinique) charged me 462

[Amel] Re: Volvo TMD22 max rpm
I am traveling right now and don't have the invoice to hand, but I believe it was under $200.00 for the "machining' of the blades.
Hope this helps.
