With a D3-110 you have an engine block that has a bigger installed base than lots of other marine engines. Virtually all larger Volvo cars with diesel engines in the approx 2005-2018 were equipped

Miles, Based on your recommendation ,I contacted Bob at Trident . We had a good conversation for about 20 minutes or so,he sent me an application ,which we filled out ,scanned and sent back to him.

Hi Kent, I am not doing so well. After giving me a very good quote, Travelers sent a policy that was limited to coast sailing and had much restricted navigation dates. So far, Trident has not fixed

Hi Michael, Some of the following might not apply if you do not have a disk brake. The alignment is straight forward but slightly complicated. The engine must be disconnected from the C drive

As Bill said, you align with tool, then you slide the engine back a few inches, remove tool, then slide it forward again and it will retain that sweet spot. I have no idea how long the rubbers should

Michael, Once aligned with the fixed coupling (tool), the engine slides aft on the mounts, the tool is removed and then the engine is slid back in place. Until you have done it, it may be hard to

Hi Courtney and Porter, don't worry, the D3-110 is just a modern diesel engine as installed in millions of cars. Sure, at sea we don't need superfluous computers and high tech when it can be done

They are made by a Swedish company. Open up the electrical box in the lazarette and you'll send the company name. Simpson slaps their label on the remote and charges you more. It's a simple RF

Never stranded sometimes perplexed. I am right now trying to source an air boost sensor for my Penta D3 without it I am stuck with 2500 RPM as opposed to 3000 RPM however I rarely if ever cruise

Thanks to you all Did any of you have the D3 leave you stranded? What is appx cost of replacing the D3. And Porter, I hope you get to the Cook Islands. On my previous round the world trip Aitutaki was

Cheers Porter glad to hear life is good 👍🏻😁 Courtney Trippin 54#101

Paul. I’d be happy to speak to you off line if you wish. In short we bought a 54. The furlers were a problem and we changed them, and the VD3-110 died. We replaced the engine. Would I buy the

Hi Bill et all, I need to re-align the Engine / C-Drive because there are some vibrations due bad alignment or worn Vetus coupling. In Bill’s AMEL School Book I found a description and picture of

In 2018 I tried to order 2 new remotes for the electric Davits; after many Emails with no reply I called COONEY UK and they quoted something like GBP300 or GBP350per unit plus shipping but didn’t

Paul, The Volvo D3 is a good engine. I believe that there were more failures with the D3 than the previous engines installed in Amels, but there is no empirical data on this, just anecdotal. I think

Hi Paul; We have had our 54 for about 6 years. We have not had any issues, other than the normal maintenance related items, with our 110, so far. We had the same concerns at the time of purchase,
