Our boat has the TMD22P. I've been using Fram PH8A oil filters, which are a generic brand of the same size. I can find them in most auto parts stores for less than $10. The fuel filter is slightly

Hi Philipp, You might try a Volvo garage---often the marine and road filters are the same, but the road ones can be much cheaper. Volvo know how much more precious a boat is to its owner than a

Hi I have also a Perkins M80T which is equivalent to the TMD22 A. For me it is not clear if I can order filter for oil and fuel from Perkins or from Volvo. Perkins is much cheaper. Till now I didn't

Here’s what I got from Maud. Dear Mike, Sorry for my late confirmation. I was on vacation last week. Please find here attached 2 photos of the needed black support for your LEROY SOMER

Hey, Mike, What a coincidence. Just today I became aware of my need to replace these Plastic doughnuts. Like yours, mine are fully stress-cracked. Anybody know what they are officially called? Steve

Hi Danny, Nice – safe winds. Best Regards Teun SV AMELIT A54 #128 Leaving NOUMEA NEW CALEDONIA today May 3, 201906:52:36

Hi Teun, we are heading for the Pacific in July. Planning to head for Bundaberg at the end of the season. Then harbour hopping down the coast to Sydney and south, finishing the Australian explore in

Hi Danny, Thanks for your Email. Looking forward to cruising VANUATU for 4 or 6 months (until cyclone season kicks in) and then maybe towards to SOLOMON ISLANDS, PNG and then INDONESIA etc. or

Hi Teun, I am sure you will enjoy Vanuatu. Tana volcano is amazing, you can stand above the crater and watch it blow. Wow. Then as you go North you will find many places of great interest. Danny SM

Bill, Final outcome: A loose spade connection under AMEL dash board near the switch. Everything else is fine. I guess the rocking & rolling yday caused this but I believe this connection was

Great spot and very safe best of all free BEER 🍺

Hi Bill, Willie on board. Switch is good. I didn’t know that next to the white Velcro panel where there are 2 heat breakers when you open the closet door there is at the top a wooden panel

Hi Ian, Appreciate your input; especially reminded me of the old cloth. Bill ROUSE has seen the carnage on deck when a local “mechanic” removed the outhaul motor and gear box. It took me

Hi Arno, Indeed it seems both of us have spent/are spending a lot of time, energy and money to get our boats back in shape. There are two relays/solenoids behind the white panel near the

I have a reservation for brunswick landing marina and we will be there the end of may. they are selling out fast

Bill, I knew of these 2 boxes but was not aware they were the solenoids; I thought they were resistance breakers. I will have it checked by Willie this morning. From everything it sounds the
