    Hello, does anyone have any good boat mechanic recommendations to repair a volvo penta engine? I am having trouble finding someone to work on inboards. I am located in the southeast but will travel for someone trustworthy! Thanks

    Yep all boats will be planning to get back in the water after Easter so it's a bit of a high demand to get last-minute jobs done.

    True that, what jobs have you had done there in the past? Some of the google reviews look a bit scary! 😮

    I do all my own work on my engines, I just see people taking about them on some of the Facebook pages I am on with positive results, I don't think there is much choice when it comes to registered volvo dealerships.

    Is there anything wrong with the engine or is it just a service that you need done?
