I am looking at buying a new boat with a M2030 Volvo diesel engine.
The situation in the Canadian Eastern Maritime is that the only Volvo dealer
makes his living with lobster fishermen and carry no part for small diesel.
If I buy that boat equipment with a Volvo diesel engine I will have to carry
parts on board. Not to mention that I will require that shop manual and
learn how to use it.
I would appreciate to receive some guide lines from Volvo owners as to what
to carry on board for spares and what to train myself for maintenance and
emergency repairs. TIA



I just happened to be at SeaMasters (Dartmouth, NS) parts dept
yesterday, when the guy in front of us was trying to get Volvo parts.
Seems like Seamasters does carry some selection. Contact them.

note: they are located just south of the Dartmouth Yacht Club and one
driveway north of the McDonalds restaurant.

Thanks for the feedback.
I am located in Rothesay, N.B.
I just called at Seamaster 902-468-2029. they switched me to Diana Jason.
She was not available, I then left a voice message with the purpose of my
call.
