Svend Bjelland has posted a number of useful Volvo Penta TAMD41 engine maintenance videos to YouTube.  Here’s a link to the first episode.

Subsequent episodes cover overhauling, oil cooler, after cooler, and water pump. The videos are well-produced and worth a look.

Camano 31 Owner's Handbook

This handbook is an updated version of a handbook supplied with all new boats from Camano Marine Ltd., which produced 268 Camano 31, before being sold to Bracewell Marine Group in 2007.

The original handbook was written by Keith Wood, Nutmeg (Hull 21), with help from other Camano owners.

The handbook was digitized and updated in April 2009 by Al Rossiter Jr, Rathmacknee II (Hull 158), for members of the East Coast Camano Owners group.
