On SM153, we want to remove the plastic part that holds the table to the helm seat. See attached picture. Has anyone ever done this? It looks like it might be epoxied but thought I would ask before I

Hi Gary. That's the crazy part. The turbo was OEM! Ian & Margaret S/V Loca Lola II SM153 US East Coast

The turbocharger on our Volvo TMD22 needed replacing in a hurry. After consulting with Bill Rouse and online searcing for a source in the USA, we found an OEM Perkins-Garrett replacement for $850 USD
