Are Volvo Penta in the real world

[bowler]

The Isle of Man tourist board , along with the local motor club cost me money last year , hence or championship won’t be bothering again , we’re going to Ulster instead , let’s hope the tables turn for 2020 and I can get a run at Tholt y will , Brandywell cottage and some of the TT course.

Ulster you say...

I think I know someone who has a volvo there if you are missing the colour green when on holiday!

That'll be great craic. Where are you based when you are over? Give me a shout if you are near the north coast. Are the stages finalised?

Sorry - off topic...

Why? Do you check your car oil level every trip?

If your car engine breaks down you come to a stop at side of road.

If your boat engine breaks down, depending on the conditions you might end up on rocks.

A car engines value is peanuts compared to a boat engine as well , ( the thing on the bow is called an anchor) over and above the obvious safety aspects before you fire up .
Consider the reinstatement value of the main engines. ( and geny ) fwiw

Agreed, the small D6 in my boat would cost a small fortune to fix. For those with twin Man 800’s, 1200’s etc you’d need to sell a kidney to repair.
