Re: Masse - and Masse + lights
T In the circumstance you describe, the light indicates that there is a connection (resistance) between either the positive or negative and the case of the macerator pump. That "connection" is usually saltwater leaking past the seal on the pump. It is an "early warning system" that your seal is leaking and your pump will fail. A switch such as you suggest will certainly be a "see no evil" solution.🙈😀 You could accomplish the same by disconnection the yellow/green wire from the case, but, don't you really want to know when you have a seal leak.

Re: Volvo D2-75 Repower
ianjenkins1946 <ianjudyjenkins@hotmail.com>
Hi Paul,
We have about 30 hours on our D2-75. Its a good fit. The guy who installed it originally worked with the Brit who designed the TMD22 so he knows both engines well. The TMD was designed for road use and then marinised whereas the D2-75 was designed as a marine
engine. Neater and more accessible. No lack of power compared to the TMD22. It is marginally noisier as it is not belt driven. Wonderfully clean exhaust. I expect fuel consumption to be the same.
The secret switch used to interrupt the power to the switch board but now interrupts the power to the starter. Volvo insist that this engine does not need galvanic isolation but I like the belt and braces approach of the original so will resolve that--pending
that, I have fitted the Autoprop with the zinc cap that Autoprop supply.
Early days, but we are very pleased.

Hi Miles,
The BEP one looks even closer to the original. They have a UK distributor. I might get a couple to try.
Thanks!

Does yours look like this
If so mine has a 20mm ID which is the critical dimension I think along with height
My cover and it’s spare are now cracked so I have also been hunting for the spare and struggling. I have emailed Aquafax in the uk as they apparently supply BEP marine parts but I’m not actually 100% it’s the same piece as the specs are not clear on the
BEP website.
Looks like the vital parts covers are well worth a go!

Re: NMEA 2000 to NMEA 0183
Hi Paul, In addition to the Actisense device, you can also check the Simrad AT10 for two way communication 0183 - 2000, a little less expensive (at least in Europe). I just bought it (with an additional Simnet - 2000 cable) and will install it on my next visit to our boat. This was recommended by Jose, from s/v Ipanema, and is working well for him. Best, Guillaume s/v Carpathia III – SM2K #293

Re: NMEA 2000 to NMEA 0183
Bill Kinney <greatketch@...>
Paul,
At this point our boat is ALMOST fully switched over to NMEA2000. But like you, our backup autopilot is an older model that only speaks NMEA0183. We use an Actisense NGW-1 to convert the data on the NMEA2000 bus to a format compatible with NMEA0183. It translates the data on the new bus for our computer, and our old autopilot. It has worked well for us. Bill Kinney SM160, Harmonie Georgetown, Bahamas

Hello Paul, We have an ACP 400 with Lecombe & Schmidt hydraulic drive; we are very pleased as it is much smoother and steers the boat well through the a single P70 control.(I have a spare P70 if needed). A 3 way switch allows selection of Hyd/Elec or off. All functions are avail through the P70 for both units. GL. JP Germain, SY Eleuthera, SM 007

NMEA 2000 to NMEA 0183
I have replaced all my instruments to Raymarine and also a new ACU 400 Autopilot computer, They all do communicate via NMEA 2000, and it work OK. I can steer in wind vane mode or in track mode with the new ACU 400 computer.
I have my old Autohelm autopilot installed, and connected that one via NMEA 0183 to the Raymarine multi functional display/plotter, Now it can steer in Track mode i.e steer towards way point. More important is to steer according to wind angle. but do not understand how I get wind information from my NMEA 2000 back bone, I had hoped that the wind information should be communicated via my plotter who is connected to the backbone and show all kind of info from my NME 2000 instrument, and connected to the Autohelm via NMEA 0183. Anyone know how to fix this? Paul on SY Kerpa ASM#259

Re: Eumania dishwasher water inlet solenoid
If anyone ever finds a drop in replacement for the Eumenia dishwasher, please post it.
I have repaired ours so many times. I am just waiting for the sad day when it finally goes to the appliance happy place in the sky. In the mean time we love having a dishwasher. It is perfect to run the dishes when the genset is fired up to do the evening charge on the batteries and running the AC to cool down the boat before going to bed.
I would also be curious if anyone has purchase a regular dishwasher, stripping out all the electronics and components and using them to build basically a new dishwasher in the Eumenia shell.
With best regards,

Thanks Kent, and everyone else that replied with data and knowledge on this subject:
I have collated the following data from the RigRite dot com web site and the Goiot-Systems dot com web sites: Please chime-in if something doesn't fit with what you are seeing on your boat (I am off the boat for a month or so, so will depend on you all to confirm the dimensions etc.) Forward Cabin and Saloon Hatches: Goiot Tradition Model (group as Goiot calls them) Size 50.50, Code 121155, weight 8.0 kg, cutout dimension 500 x 500 mm, overall dimension 582 x 554 mm, Acrylic thickness 10 mm, lid height 46 mm, lens size 506 x 506 mm.

Forward Head Hatch: Goiot Tradition Model, Size 50.37, Code 121154, weight 6.7 kg, cutout dimension 500 x 370 mm, overall dimension 554 x 451 mm, Acrylic thickness 10 mm, lid height 46 mm, lens size 506 x 376 mm.

Per Joel's and Kent's suggestion I think I will just use an orbital sander to to opacify the lenses on the forward two hatches as opposed to applying a film. Sincerely, Gary S.
