Genuine Volvo, just not worth risking something that may not be up to standard IMHO. Heaven forbid the boat is lost due to a bellows failure but I do believe an invoice (and I also take photos) showing genuine parts used as per the manufactures schedule would end any issues with the insurers.

jfm said: Thanks Henry. There will be a bit of nice artwork - some Liverpudlian. Personally I think Col’s artwork above was most impressive, guest VIP perhaps 🤔 🙂 She looks fantastic JFM, as others have said thanks very much for sharing this with us.

+ another one. Thanks for taking the time and being generous enough to share this with the forum JFM, hopefully the usual suspect(s) will take the hint and start a separate thread to witter on about deadrise and why the answer to all the worlds ills is an Itama …………

Depends what the problem is that you have ? Which lights are illuminated/flashing ? I have them and have replaced 3 blade units in the past five years. I think it fair to say the internal plastic cogs on the unit are not very robust…….. when they work I find they work well, they just don’t last.

Correct decision IMHO. Daft of the broker not to have said no immediately on your behalf !

Excellent ! I have been looking forward to this, as I’m sure many others have as well. Thanks very much @jfm for taking the time and trouble to post this.

As said above I have DPH ‘A’ and these went on last summer without using the locking bolt and so far no issues.

My son paid £50 for a new snug from the Musto outlet store at Gunwharf last weekend. I still have my original one that I bought in Cowes over 30 years ago (very rough round the edges now) that I replaced with a new one last year. As you know they are a good piece of kit !

I really do hope that ‘welcome back’ is appropriate but fear that the visit may be fleeting ! I recently re-read the entire Match 2 build thread and the attention to detail astounded me as much this time round as it did the first. Thank you again for taking the time and effort to post it. Now...
