Paul Dowd and Sharon Brown #49802 When we crossed the Atlantic we ran the genset four hours a day and it was always rolling. Did not experience any problems.

Thank you. I presume the flap is a specific Amel part or can we buy it elsewhere? I am totally for supporting Amel but the shipping costs from France get a bit high for a small part. :) On another note, what is the general guideline for using the Volvo D3-110 and the Onan when the boat is heeled over? I do recall reading the Onan spec that it shouldn't be used at more than 10 degrees constant with short bursts to 20degrees. I can definitely hear a change in genset note when the boat is rolling and it is not related to the exhaust outlet going underwater. Back in my car racing days, I was very aware of oil starvation when the oil sloshes to the side of the oil sump while cornering. The solution there was either baffles (helps) or a dry sump. Is this a concern with our marine engines/genset? -- Scott 2007 A54 #69 SV Tengah http://www.svtengah.com -- Cheers Paul Ya Fohi - Amel 54 #98
