About Us

The engine on the SVSN is an absolute workhorse. It's the 1971 Volvo Penta MD3B, 36 hp marine diesel engine. We have the installation handbook, the instruction book, and the workshop manual. We also have schematics for the fresh water cooling system and the engine exhaust and muffler system. Any question you have can be answered by these manuals, except where to get parts. If you're in the SF Bay Area, you'll go to Helmut's in San Rafael.

One of the best things about this engine is that we've averaged 0.4 gallons per hour in a wide range of conditions.

It was last rebuilt in the spring of 1992.
