Re: Volvo D3
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

Re: Insurance
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

Re: problems Engine
#alignment
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

Re: problems Engine

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

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

Re: Volvo D3
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

Re: Simpson Davits Maintenance
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

Re: problems Engine

I don't know the specific answer but I will say this: there are many otherwise fine mechanics who will insist they can bust that engine back on with their feeler gauges and holy water.... DON'T LET

And Porter, I hope you get to the Cook Islands. On my previous round the world trip Aitutaki was

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
