I have a Volvo Penta MD2040B in my sailboat. On a passage from Portugal to the Azores this summer the engine wouldn't start two days out. Problem was diagnosed as water in the crankcase by Azores Volvo Penta dealer. Engine re-built at considerable expense. I then sailed to the Canary Islands. Same problem: water in the crankcase. Canaries Volvo Penta dealer thinks water may be coming in through air intake. This makes no sense. I am losing faith in the professionalism of the dealer network. Any thoughts or experience?
