Thank you Gary. The smoke was indeed coming from the top of the motor around the capacitor cover. I ordered the new March Pump that Mark linked to on Ebay to arrive Friday, but will also trace down a new capacitor and see if I can't get the original pump functioning properly before I replace it and put it aside as a back up.

All the best,

Forgot to reply he 2nd question.
I tested the Capacitors they are:
9.2 instead of 10 and 38.1 instead of 40
Is that enough to cause a problem?

       I think Eric is right and I
 think that the first thing I would do is replace the two
 capacitors I mentioned earlier.

       Alexandre,
 with the switch In neutral position the AC unit is off.
 I would suspect a short in the wiring somewhere. it could be
 anywhere.
 Good luck,

Hello Bill,
I am putting apart the unit and look for faulty harness.
Could it be the compressor?  Technically I would not think so as it is not set to start for 15 secondes in my case.
Sincerely, Alexandre

Hello Duane,

Right now, I use a huge 220 Volt fan, it uses lots of electricity, but is excellent.
If I was at anchor, it would probably use too much electricity…

Sincerely, Alexandre

       Alexandre, 
 I
 looked up a 127mm computer fan (a big one???) and it was
 only 141 cfm, not big enough to make the difference I'm
 looking for, even in groups of four.  On the plus side, it
 is very low on amperage draw and quiet.  It would be fine
 for ventilating your boat to keep some small air movement
 going.
 I'm looking
 for an alternative to air conditioning, and that would
 require mass air movement.  There is often a 10 or 15
 degree differential between inside the boat and outside the
 boat in the hot season early in the evening when we turn in.
  Bringing the cooler outside air inside in mass quantities
 is the answer.

Eric,

I too had the timer set to zero by a Climma tech, and I too had the same breaker open.

I set it to 20 seconds. I assume that Alex could either have the timer set to zero, or possibly that timer is not working and is staying closed.

Bill,

I had the same problem. The countdown timer in my aft cabin was set to 0 second.

The compressor was shorted and I had to have it changed.

Both the boats main breaker and dockside breaker tripped at the same time.

Fair winds,

Eric

I think Eric is right and I think that the first thing I would do is replace the two capacitors I mentioned earlier.

with the switch In neutral position the AC unit is off. I would suspect a short in the wiring somewhere. it could be anywhere.

       I'm thinking about building an
 exhaust fan that would temporarily lay over the outside of
 one of the Goit hatches.  It would be for use at anchor (or
 at the dock to save on air conditioning) to draw the cool
 evening air in and give a nice
 breeze.
 It's a similar
 principle to a "whole house fan" for those
 familiar with them.
 I found a 16" diameter fan
 meant to cool a truck radiator that runs on 24 volts at 6.5
 amps for about $180 see - http://www.jegs.com/i/Flex-a-lite/400/39624/10002/-1 
 A fan meant to put up with road conditions should be fine
 outdoors, especially considering the northern roads get
 salted in the wintertime during snowfalls.  It has a
 plastic blade and housing.  It says it's quiet, but
 that's always a bit of a crap shoot.
 This fan pulls almost 2000 cfm (note
 Hella Turbo Fans are 200 cfm on high speed).  If you closed
 the aft cabin door at night and opened the two small hatches
 you might not get the whole 2000 cfm, but even half of that
 would give you an air change every minute or two.  Imagine
 how much cooler it would be even on a warm night.  If you
 have several couples aboard you could put it on the main
 cabin hatch and it would pull air from the whole
 boat.
 You could also use this
 in the cockpit to cool off in the evening and keep the bugs
 away or in the engine room.
 The 12 volt version is only $100 and
 pulls a few more CFM, if you want to play with a
 converter.
 If I go ahead with
 this I'll build a box style frame for the fan out of
 plastic wood (deck product from Home Depot or similiar) of a
 size that would fit against/over the Goit frames on the
 outside.  Slap some rubber on the part against the boat to
 damp out vibration noise and Bob's your Uncle!   It doesn't come with a
 switch, and is meant to directly connect to the
 batteries.The fan
 is reversible and you could use a "PWM" switch to
 modulate the fan speed and direction (I'll have to study
 up on PWM switches to be sure this is
 workable). 
 The worst
 job for me will be installing a 24 volt outlet in the fwd
 and aft cabins.  The wiring in the aft cabin should be easy
 enough, just interrupt the dinghy inflator and put branch
 wire one into the aft cabin.
 This seems like such an easy thing to do
 I'm wondering why you don't see it in the marine
 catalogs?
 Has anyone else done
 this, or have any suggestions?
 Thanks,DuaneWanderer,

Exhaust Fan for Cabin - Opinions?

Duane Siegfri

#33544

I'm thinking about building an exhaust fan that would temporarily lay over the outside of one of the Goit hatches. It would be for use at anchor (or at the dock to save on air conditioning) to draw the cool evening air in and give a nice breeze.

It's a similar principle to a "whole house fan" for those familiar with them.

I found a 16" diameter fan meant to cool a truck radiator that runs on 24 volts at 6.5 amps for about $180 see - http://www.jegs.com/i/Flex-a-lite/400/39624/10002/-1 A fan meant to put up with road conditions should be fine outdoors, especially considering the northern roads get salted in the wintertime during snowfalls. It has a plastic blade and housing. It says it's quiet, but that's always a bit of a crap shoot.

This fan pulls almost 2000 cfm (note Hella Turbo Fans are 200 cfm on high speed). If you closed the aft cabin door at night and opened the two small hatches you might not get the whole 2000 cfm, but even half of that would give you an air change every minute or two. Imagine how much cooler it would be even on a warm night. If you have several couples aboard you could put it on the main cabin hatch and it would pull air from the whole boat.

You could also use this in the cockpit to cool off in the evening and keep the bugs away or in the engine room.

The 12 volt version is only $100 and pulls a few more CFM, if you want to play with a converter.

If I go ahead with this I'll build a box style frame for the fan out of plastic wood (deck product from Home Depot or similiar) of a size that would fit against/over the Goit frames on the outside. Slap some rubber on the part against the boat to damp out vibration noise and Bob's your Uncle! It doesn't come with a switch, and is meant to directly connect to the batteries.The fan is reversible and you could use a "PWM" switch to modulate the fan speed and direction (I'll have to study up on PWM switches to be sure this is workable).

The worst job for me will be installing a 24 volt outlet in the fwd and aft cabins. The wiring in the aft cabin should be easy enough, just interrupt the dinghy inflator and put branch wire one into the aft cabin.

This seems like such an easy thing to do I'm wondering why you don't see it in the marine catalogs?

Has anyone else done this, or have any suggestions?

  there is a switch and thermostat by each AC unit. when

  To discharge the capacitor take a wire with insulated

  and the other clip to a lug of the capacitor.

  Fair winds,

I can recommend a SUPERB engine guy in Majorca. Also, look at the Perkins offerings

Send me a personal email if interested in the Majorcan alternative 😄😄

Hi All,

I am sorry to say that we have had a poor experience with TPS, the Volvo agents in Hyeres. Suffice it say that last winter they made a meal out a major service on our 17 year old TMD22P, and 150 hours later we still lack confidence in an engine which didn't miss a beat before they attended to it.

I am 70 ( Judy remains 21 ) and God willing can look forward to another ten years or so of gentle cruising, but I am too busy now to have an unreliable engine.

So, ridiculous expense though it may sound, we are thinking of swapping our old engine for a new one. Volvo have recommended the D2-75, 75 hp, no electrics beyond the starter motor ( a huge plus in my book )

Its feet and drive connection are said to be a good fit for the old engine.

The alternative would be the D3-110, but we have never been short of power with the TMD22P, which although 78hp is governed down to 60 hp by Amel. Also, I like the extra range that the smaller engine would give.

Has anyone had experience of a D2-75 in an SM ?

I run the forward air conditioning without problem.

As Eric ask, I switch on the Aft Air Conditioning with the switch in neutral position (neither cold not hot) and right away the Ground Fault Interrupt (GFI) breaker trip (as well as the marina).
What does that tell you?

       Alexandre,
 there is a switch and thermostat by each AC unit. when
 the switch is in neutral position does the breaker still
 trip? if not does it trip when the switch is in the heat
 position?
 To discharge the capacitor take a wire with insulated
 alligator clips put one clip on the body of the pump or case
 and the other clip to a lug of the capacitor.
 Fair winds,
 Eric

Volvo D2-75 for a SuperMaramu

ianjenkins1946 <ianjudyjenkins@hotmail.com>

#33535

Hi All,

I am sorry to say that we have had a poor experience with TPS, the Volvo agents in Hyeres. Suffice it say that last winter they made a meal out a major service on our 17 year old TMD22P, and 150 hours later we still lack confidence in an engine which didn't miss a beat before they attended to it.

I am 70 ( Judy remains 21 ) and God willing can look forward to another ten years or so of gentle cruising, but I am too busy now to have an unreliable engine.

So, ridiculous expense though it may sound, we are thinking of swapping our old engine for a new one. Volvo have recommended the D2-75, 75 hp, no electrics beyond the starter motor ( a huge plus in my book )

Its feet and drive connection are said to be a good fit for the old engine.

The alternative would be the D3-110, but we have never been short of power with the TMD22P, which although 78hp is governed down to 60 hp by Amel. Also, I like the extra range that the smaller engine would give.

Has anyone had experience of a D2-75 in an SM ?

A.M.F.A. Anchor wash pump

Bill & Judy Rouse <yahoogroups@...>

#33536

For those of you with a A.M.F.A. Anchor wash pump, you might want to buy this new 12VDC version for parts...as long as your existing 24VDC motor is fine. There are two brand new complete pumps available (including a square D pressure switch). These pumps are no longer available. This is a bargain:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-A-M-F-A-POMPE-12V-PUMP-PART-3386-200W-11A-AMFA-33-MADE-IN-ITALY-/161885963744?hash=item25b127c5e0:g:gYQAAOSwkZhWRPAe

You do not need to worry about the pressure switch because your anchor wash system does not pressurize, unless it has been modified.

Best,
