Having recenty purchased a Prout Snowgoose 34 for a price that reflected a problem with the volvo md2b engine , i now find that spares are hard to find and indeed major parts are no longer available.
It seems my only hope is to find secondhand spares for this md2b , saying that if any members know of such an outlet to obtain spares or even a complete md2b engine , i would be most grateful.
Regards.....John Forster.

Hi John
I have a complete Volvo MD2b for sale. It is a runner and would still be in the boat if we hadnt noticed that the engine beds were broken. Last year it took us from Ramsgate to Breskens and back no problems with the engine. Only the exhaust side which was fixed in Breskens.The spare part we obtained was from Belgium and it was the last they had.
We would have fixed the problem but I was talked into buying a new Yanmar 3YM $$
If I can be of help to you please let me know
Thanks
Steve

Roy, what kind of parts do you have and where are you (country, city)? I have an MD2B I would like to get running, but need some injectors and a valve.

Hi James
My engine was running last October I dont really want to break it for spares but if you make me an offer we will let you know
The engine is in Ramsgate, Kent UK

Please let me know Steve

Thanks Steve, I was really interested in the parts Roy said he had. Shipping an engine from Europe would probably cost way more than new parts (although that is uncertain considering what they want for new parts). It's actually my parts engine that I would like to get running to see if it is worth rebuilding and the last thing I need is another 500 lb engine. If you decide to part out the engine, let me know. Thanks,
James
PS it's injectors and a push-rod I'm looking for (not a valve)

I have a MB2B that runs good.  I have some problems starting it if the weather is cool.  The engine has a hydrolic pump attached in the rear which pulls a large hydrolic  motor which  turnes  the shaft and  prop.    I  have  purchased a  Yanmar  3QM30 H.  I would like to pull the hydrolic pump with the Yanmar.  Does anyone have information of the match or know where I might find the matching information?
