Hello Fabien, thank you for the information. There is a yellow sticker on the gearbox that says "Use only VP GL5 Syntetic Transmission oil", but I can't see which Saildrive it is. Do you have any ideas? Merci Jobst

Hi there, I have an MD 2030D on board. I'm not sure which gearbox oil the Saildrive wants. On the gearbox it only says to fill in synthetic oil but I also read that the normal engine oil 15W40 is to be used. Can anyone help me????? Greetings JR

Hi everyone, I'd like to share my latest experience and ask if anyone has ever had a similar experience. I've had the boat in the care of my marina for the last few weeks since the end of September, mainly for a saildrive service with a new sleeve and antifouling. Last weekend we came on board for the first time and found the engine compartment and bilge full of diesel oil (approx. 1 cm high). The boat was not locked and the seawater valve was open. Obviously everything that could be done wrong was done wrong. I reported this to the harbour master on Saturday and yesterday I wrote a report to the marina and my yacht insurance company. Do you have any experience of this? I can't imagine that the diesel smell alone will ever disappear from the boat.

I think we need to give SVB a bit more time to get all the plans right. Important for me is the platform to communicate with people who have the same boat and the same challenges to master sometimes.............. br Jobst

Holla Juan, SVB jtold me the Owners Club is a new feature and they are working on the product still including the vessel plans...... regards Jobst

Hello everyone, I have now asked SVB whether this is a "closed" email circle. No answer yet, only that they are still working on the Ownerclub. Greetings Jobst NB: Is anyone in Zeeland with their B38? It would be nice to meet up.

Is this the B 38 Owners Club?
