Volvo spare part on board

With my new boat I am considering getting a 9-10' inflatable dinghy with a 9 HP outboard. This way, when there is no wind, if I loose the engine I can rafted the inflatable against the boat and use the 9 HP outboard to bring the boat to a safe heaven. That works but it takes a few minutes to get organized. I hope that I will not have to do that by having a good diesel engine and a good maintenance program. That's a good start but I've been having really lousy luck with water pump impellers lately, on my generator where it's not critical, but still a big pain. Any single engine boat is at risk but the anchor is your best friend if there is no wind to bail you out. |
