Greetings
I have enjoyed the site for 2 years now and admire the way you all share information which can be extremely hard to find. I am a new boat owner, having bought a 38' Nova two years ago with extensive water damage from being "outside" with leaky salon windows. That being fixed by an excellent boatyard, I am trying to learn general maintenance for the first time. I should not have waited until I was single and in my dotage before buying the boat!
If anyone can recommend a good book for Volvo Penta TMD41A maintenance I would be much appreciated. I have the Volvo brochure (in 3 languages) but it covers much more extensive repairs then replacing raw water impellers (which may not have been changed since 2006 as there is no log after that)
I have developed a phobia about doing anything electrical or mechanical on my own boat, though I am more than happy to work on others. I don't know whether it is the fear of electrocution or the fear of frying my "boat repair fund."
PS I have joined the Power Squadron and hope to go through their series of classes so perhaps there is hope ahead
All the best to you folks that are actually going through the Locks someplace!
One day...
