Boating New Zealand — December 2017

| subscribe | magstore.nz/boatingnewzealand Boating New Zealand 99

“Through a convoluted misunderstanding with Volvo,

I installed the new engine without its ‘spline adaptor’ – a

small piece of kit that accommodates the diameter difference

between the engine and the sail-drive’s input shaft.

“When I started the engine for the first time, it ran

beautifully and water spurted enthusiastically from the

exhaust outlet. It all looked great. But when I put it into gear –

nothing. The engine and sail-drive’s spline weren’t engaging.”

With the problem identified and the spline adaptor

retrieved, Leydon and his helpful come-along inched

the engine forward just enough for the adaptor to be

installed. With everything bolted up again, Leydon started

her up and nervously shifted the gear lever forward –

sweeeeeeeeeeet!

PERFORMANCE

“I don’t yet have precise fuel consumption figures – but

to be honest I’m not really fussed about the difference. I

wanted more power.
