Replacment Turbo on Volvo Penta

coolcat · 14th October 2019, 06:08

Lady Emma had both engines serviced last month.
During the work it was found that the port side engines turbo had seized.
As Lady Emma had only been pootling about at river speeds this had not been noticed and also probably contributed to the problem.

This friday we are having a reconditioned turbo fitted and also a few other sheduled jobs. One of which is changing the raw water strainers from the Volvo fit originals to Vetus ones.
These ones are clear which allow us to visually see that water is running through them without having to shut the sea cocks off and remove the lids.

Saturday and Sunday after the work has been carried out, Dad and myself will be doing some high speed runs across Breydon Water to make sure all is running as should.
Weather doesn't look too promising but I will try and do some photos and videos and post them on here.

Naturally we will be mooring overnight on the Saturday to take on essential supplies....Food and Beer

We shall be staying at the Surlingham Ferry Inn should anyone on here want to say hello
