R-30 in Dubai

Post by ExpatGuy »

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! :lol:

...I will add more photos if it ever stops showing them inverted!

Regards,

Mark
