We had trouble with our yanmar constantly but it was older. Friends
with a volvo diesel were quite happy with it but told us that parts
were expensive and hard to find.
I dont bother with the inboard, its my husbands job to maintain it and
run it etc etc etc.

My wife does the same thing.
As for spare parts I can only thing of getting them at time of the sailboat
purchase.
I thing I can benefit a lot in taking a diesel maintenance and repair
course.
I have notice that the renown blue water cruising sailboat builder
Hallberg-Rassy are installing Volvo diesel engine in all of their sailboats.
