Volvo posted useful life

I was looking over the new 260 CR Volvo's delivered to the shop today for a 31.

In reading the label on the engine next to model and serial it had a line that stated "Useful life". 1000 hours or 10 years.

1000 hours?

That kinda sucks. Glad it wasn't my recomendation to use the Volvo's.

Is that possible? A typo? Walter

I doubt it's a typo. My guess is that the typical boat owner puts on about 100 hours per year, hence the 10 year/1000 hour rating. That way, the owner isn't surprized when his engine is a pile of rust when the time comes.....
