We discover an oil leak on our spare Volvo Penta 2000 series engine.
Replacing an oil seal fixed it. This is how we did it!

Brilliant, thanks! My boat has a 2002 and I’m so pleased you’re taking the time to make these clear and well detailed videos. 🙌🏻

Smashing video Rob - informative, well paced and with lots of extra information and tips to help the boat owner on a budget. Keep up the great work.

I bought an engine like this 16 years ago for my 1924 catboat. The previous owner of the engine had noticed a loss of power and a Volvo mechanic had recommended a new engine. That's why I got this for very little money. When I got home I discovered, that only the actuation lever for the gouvernor was worn out, so that it was no longer possible to apply full throttle. A little bit of welding and filework fixed ist.

Fingers crossed it's still running in 16 years time. Good little engines!

Thanks mate, I have a VP 2003 that refuses to die, and a spare VP 2030 if it does, so I appreciate your plan..

Hi Paul, yes a sort of insurance policy. I can't afford a new engine.

Hi Paul, I assume you've got a spare engine not an oil leak.

This looks like a demo engine for a engeering school or museum, or who delivers an engine with a switch and everything ;)

Hi Boatmattias, interesting comment. The engine came bolted down in its crate. I added the fuel system and made a starter box so I could test run in situ. Under the green paint (seen in the video) was a base coat of "duck egg blue" colour. You could be correct with an engineering school theory.

Hi may I ask how you sourced the engine and if you have any recommendations?

Hi Nick, I got the engine from eBay. Try and buy a runner, even if it's got starting issues or low compression. A top end rebuild should sort out the problems and give you a reliable engine. Hope this helps?
