Default Volvo vs Yanmar diesel

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.

Default Volvo vs Yanmar diesel

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.
