This blog began in late 2006 with the planning and preparation for a circumnavigation of the world in my 39-foot sail boat Pachuca. It then covered a successful 5-year circumnavigation that ended in April 2013. The blog now covers life with Pachuca back home in Australia.

More Volvo Photos



I received these photos from Mark this morning. Note the high exhaust riser which may be gold plated for what it cost me.

Mark also sent copies of the shipping and customs documentation, so we can expect the engine to be on the road to San Diego soon.

Not gold plated. But a nice silicon bronze that will never rust out.

Robert: the exhaust riser has a hose bushing installed on it. Standard exhaust hose size is 1 3/4" This hose bushing allows you to use the 2 inch hose, and muffler we installed in PT. Secure it with a single t-bolt clamp. I think there is one on your Sabb. Did you see the gear cooler, its bronze also.
Fuel filter/priming pump could be removed to get better excess for oil change. It just has rubber hoses. You could mount it next to your Racor if you wanted
