Hay, just got done binge watching from the beginning. Y'all look to be having a load of fun. I know its not all sunshine and rainbows out there but hang in there. Oh the joys of living on a boat. Home is where ever you drop the hook and fixing things in exotic locations. I have herd that Volvo engines can be a bit troublesome at times. I'm not sure what exactly your issue is but one sailing channel I follow has had issues with their MDI box on their D2-40 engine. Their solution was to just bypass it and rigged up a simple DIY box. (link to the specific video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXm1ZoNqjMtqe8U ) Might not be what you need but thought it might be something worth looking into. Brian one question I would like to ask you is: How is you vape holding up? You are the first person living aboard a boat that I have seen that is vaping. How are the coils holding up? How is the device doing? Any signs of corrosion? I have been vaping for over 10 years now and have been wondering how well things would hold up in such a tough environment. Well until your next video. Hope you figure out your engine troubles. Looking forward to seeing your hop across the pond. I have seen a lot of channels make that trip now. With the help of extra hands should make it a bit easier. Have fun and stay safe out there. Fair winds and following seas.

Hey man. Thanks for looking out and sending us a link for what you saw. I’ve done the research as well and know that’s a common issue with Volvos. The vape has held up well actually. Granted I’m on my 2nd or 3rd one after dropping one in a marina, and not being able to find coils for the one I brought from the states. All in all they have done their jobs. Again, thanks for the info. 👍🏻
