Hi Alexandre, Yes, of course it is OK to use my name. By the way buy the replacement capacitor in an electronics shop for €4 or 5 or get the same one from a Climma agent or other aircon mechanic and it will cost €65. If you look on Google for electric motor capacitor you will probably learn a lot. I did and I will go back for more.
For example capacitors may be attached to a motor to act as a start capacitor or they may be a run capacitor as in this case!! The construction is the same but the spec. is different and it seems that the motor decides what it wants to use it for.

John,



I want to thank you for pointing out the 2 mfd capacitor on
the 220V exhaust fan. I had a feeling this exhaust fan was
turning slower, so I check the cap and yes it was out of
spec. I replaced it with the exact capacitor which is used
on the Climma Fan Motor. I had some spares.



And yes, the fan is blowing better now.

Hope this helps anyone with a slowing exhaust fan.

Hello Alexandre, The first company I went to could not

do it, the second was a big commercial galvaniser used by
manufacturers of all sizes of iron goods and so their hot
dip tank must have been huge length and depthwise. If I was
unable to find such a company I think that I would wait
until I could or buy a new chain. I mentioned in several
previous posts that we have bolted some zinc anodes on to
the chain next to the anchor and this may be why the
galvanising is long lasting.

I too would like to know where your photos of the

engine room fans are located . I have found the fuse and
also a 2 mfd capacitor beside it and wonder whether that
capacitor is partly defective thus causing the fan to run
slowly. Certainly my engine room gets very hot when both
engines are running. I am procrastinating over replacing the
capacitor as it is in a hard place to get at and am not sure
that the fan is not running at it’s full speed.

Best wishes, Anne and John,

Haven't done anything yet.

I thought I could have it sandblasted, then do a cold

galvanized spay, then paint it.

I am open to suggestion!

What did you do with the spade anchor?

Good morning Anne and John,

One of my anchor (Spade) has a lot of rust and was

told

twice it needs to be

regalvanized, since the galvanizing company have a

minimum

order/weight, I

thought I would bring everything... The first company

couldn't do the chain,

becausethey didn't had the basket to

"centrifuge

the chain. The second

company had the basket, but as I mentionned too small.

Alexandre

Hello Alex, Why did you think it needed

regalvanising and why did they think you were wrong?

We had our 80 mtr chain hot dip galvanised in Spain

about

four years ago and it is still perfect but only used

for

2/3

months of the year. To do it they did not have a tank

81

metres deep so they made a number of hooks out of

strong

wire and looped the chain so that was shorter than the

tank.

It was very hot when it came out!

Thought I would share my experience.

So yesterday, spend the whole day removing my 2 anchors

and

2 chains, bringing my ski boat under, etc.

The longest one at 90 meter (300 ft) which weight 200

kg /

450 LBS. So was prety physical...

Early this morning arrived at K T Galvanizing (in

Katy,

near

Houston, so about 1.5 hours from the Marina) and they

told

me my chain was too long for their equipment!!!

But good news, they said I don't need to

regalvanized

the chain.

They said easily 10 more years.
