Volvo spare part on board
In article ,
Wayne.B wrote: 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 Key spares include water pump impellers with gaskets, belts, filters. You might also want to consider injectors, alternator and starter. I wouldn't carry the last line of items for a new engine. In 13 seasons and 1800 hours on the Hobbs, the only problems we've had were fuel-related. Oh, except for one impeller -- the new one I'd just put in. Seems they sometimes arrive DOA. Thus, carry plenty of filters (primary and secondary) and perhaps a couple of gallons of diesel. Never trust that gauge. -- Jere Lull Xan-a-Deux ('73 Tanzer 28 #4 out of Tolchester, MD) Xan's Pages: http://members.dca.net/jerelull/X-Main.html Our BVI FAQs (290+ pics) http://homepage.mac.com/jerelull/BVI/ |
