@gibraltarfx @volvopentauk Whatever you do get someone to have a very good look at the drives and make sure they are in good order! Targa 33’s are a very nice boat, we have just finished some pre season work on one, with new turbos, drive services etc. with both the turbos done she did just over 30 knots

[SBMarineEngineering @SBMarineEng]

Turbo replacement on a Fairline Targa 33 and this @volvopentauk 41 series engine due to exhaust housing corrosion. Already done the port engine, so starboard changed, sea trialled at +30 knots! Another happy customer 😎

[SBMarineEngineering @SBMarineEng]

@gibraltarfx They wanted to but I said no. Good job too as one of the pins was siezed in and took some persuasion to come out! Not sure what the lift cost was but the bellows hadn’t been done in about 12 years and had perished so was no alternative!

[SBMarineEngineering @SBMarineEng]

From Ramsgate to Chatham yesterday to a catamaran lifted out for a drive bellow change on a sillette Sonic 2 saildrive. Another happy customer

[SBMarineEngineering @SBMarineEng]

Another @volvopentauk fault attended to in Ramsgate yesterday, rectifying a leg trim issue, and a diagnostic check of both engines. Fault found and dealt with in a short time, yet another Volvo customer very happy with our knowledge and service levels! #volvopentainkent

Final stages of assembly of a fully rebuilt classic ‘59 Mercedes 220SL 6 cylinder engine, now back to be refitted in the car.

[SBMarineEngineering @SBMarineEng]

@volvopentauk D6-310 cylinder head removed, injector sleeves changed and all refitted, engine back together and now running fine! #marineengineering #kent

[SBMarineEngineering @SBMarineEng]

Moved the workshop out in the sunshine today fitting a new set of copper sleeves for the @volvopentauk D6-310 engine currently under repairs. #sunshine #marineengineering #boatseason #boatlife

[SBMarineEngineering @SBMarineEng]

A commercial craft with a @volvopentauk D6-310 engine in for cylinder head removal for repairs. Pic taken with the top cover off and starting the teardown. Awkward with half the engine being under the deck makes getting to the timing chain difficult but now have the head off!

[SBMarineEngineering @SBMarineEng]

@gibraltarfx Seemed ok, not dealt with many as not many UK boats have Cat’s in. Sourcing part information and obtaining parts not quite as easy as Volvo, but they seem to run nice. Understand the fuel system on the C7 can sometimes have failures with expensive follow on damage

[SBMarineEngineering @SBMarineEng]

Just back from Italy after completing repairs and maintenance on a Targa 48!

@gibraltarfx Twin Cat C7’s 455hp in this one unusually.. most had Volvo 74’s.
she’s 48ft. She’s better now with the work done!

@StevieBloke Thanks Steve, hopefully keep us moving in the right direction! Hope you are keeping well 👍

[SBMarineEngineering @SBMarineEng]

Have had an interesting meeting this week and if all goes well will be sharing some great news in the progress and growth for us at SB Marine! Watch this space!

[SBMarineEngineering @SBMarineEng]

@Hewitt101R @volvopentauk Was running ok but had an overheat, oil leaks etc so decided to fully recon both engines whilst some downtime allowed.

[SBMarineEngineering @SBMarineEng]

Workshops busy with a pair of @volvopentauk 42 series engines in for full rebuild. Crankshaft away on the first one for a grind to sort journal damage. Lots of small bits to do but in great shape really for >5000 hours. Email us for VolvoPenta in Kent.
