Tank capacities — where the figures come from
  • Fuel 104 gal
    “395 litres / 105 US gallon” — builder (1980-1991), hallberg-rassy.com
    395 L converts to 104 gal; the builder's own US figure says 105. The diesel tanks sit under the saloon floor.
  • Water 192 gal
    “725 litres / 192 US gallon” — builder (1980-1991), hallberg-rassy.com
  • Holding unknown
    Builder data sheet lists no holding tank.
  • Water heater standard
    “Stainless double sink with running hot and cold water, and a manual fresh water pump in reserve.” — builder, hallberg-rassy.com
    Builder's standard specification includes running hot and cold water in the galley (pressure system); heater capacity and heat source not stated.

Tanks are often replaced or added on older boats — check the tank labels or a survey for yours.

Thrusters and steering — where this comes from
  • Bow thruster unknown
    The builder's standard specification and the Italian magazine report it hosts mention no thruster; no option list found.
  • Stern thruster not fitted
    The builder's standard spec lists none, but our earlier figure of none isn't proven.
  • Steering pedestal cable
    “Pedestal steering, chain and sprocket system with stainless wire transmission to heavy quadrant 6" sheaves. Leather cove” — builder, hallberg-rassy.com
    The builder spec gives pedestal chain-and-wire to a quadrant and a leather-covered stainless wheel with friction brake. The pedestal maker isn't named (the builder's Hallberg-Rassy 38 spec of the same era names Edson).

Thrusters and steering are often replaced — check the units on your boat before ordering parts.

Ketch or sloop; fin with skeg-hung rudder; steel ballast. No model-specific problem sources were read.

Engines & parts

Volvo Penta D1 / D2 series (D1-13 to D2-75) parts: good

Factory optional engine — you entered “Volvo Penta MD21”

Current-generation small Volvo diesels (Perkins-derived per owners). Glow plugs, injectors and filters can be bought cheaper via Perkins and aftermarket sources; stainless replacement exhaust elbows are sold aftermarket.

Parts sources: MarineDustrie, AB Marine Service (exhaust elbow)

Common problems (3)
  • Exhaust elbow / manifold corrosion exhaust
    The cast elbow rots and has a narrow water passage, which lets water back into the manifold and corrode it through where the two meet; an aftermarket stainless elbow is the usual fix.

  • Fuel pump controller failure fuel
    Contamination or failure of the fuel pump controller is listed as one of the most common D1 faults.
    marinedustrie.com
  • Overheating from corroded heat exchanger/manifold cooling
    Corrosion holes in the combined heat exchanger/manifold cause overheating on D1 and D2 engines.
