Hi guys, first time boat owner here and I picked up a 2017 R-30 a few months back. Looks like the previous owner didn't own a toolkit, so I have a few projects to do that I may need some advice on.
So far though, it has been absolutely awesome fun to own and tinker with. It's been impeccably serviced in accordance with the Volvo maintenance but some of the non-service items have been neglected, for example the lights, horn, toilet, fridge etc. All easy fixes... for the most part.
I will share my thoughts and experiences for anyone else thinking of getting into boating as a newb, plus what I discover about the self-maintenance side of things. I knew my aircraft engineering degree would come in useful one day!
...I will add more photos if it ever stops showing them inverted!
Regards,
Mark
