I believe that this part is made of Delrin. I took a cracked one to a machinist, who made two of them for me. Materials and labor came to $250US. Kent SM 243 Kristy Bahamas heading South

Re: A54 engine anti siphon vent

I have noticed the same thing. What you are noting is really important. I listen every time I start the engine.

A54 engine anti siphon vent
Sv Garulfo
Hi all, Over the few years we have owned Garulfo, we came to notice that the anti siphon vent for the engine that exits in the starboard cockpit drain hole was a good tell tale of a restriction in the raw water line: when everything is clear (intake thru hull, vetus strainer, transmission heat exchanger, impeller, etc), the stream of water out of the vent line into the drain is continuous and silent, when the flow is restricted, the initial spurting of water and exhaust gaz continues to the point of becoming annoying and I know i need to go and clean something. After clearing the line, the flow is back to normal. Do other A54 owners share the same experience? Do my conclusions make sense, or is it some kind of coincidence? Any feedback welcome!

Re: Grounding for solar panels / solar arch
Patrick McAneny
Alan, Thanks for confirming that the toilet should be bonded. My boat did not come with a leak detention device ,wish it had. While eroding zincs is normal ,mine are eroding in about 1/3 the time that is normal. I now believe it is probably the result of the head not being bonded.
Thanks Again,
Pat

We have a leak detection switch in the companion way.....not sure if you have that...it can tell you if you have a leak from -ve or +ve to the bonding. When we have had a leak -ve to bonding, it has always been the head motor that has caused it....proven by disconnecting the bonding wire at the motor, the indicated leak goes away. Zincs eroding is normal - they should be, as the least noble metal connected to the bonding circuit - if they're not, then you have an issue, as perhaps there is a break in the bonding cct and the zincs are no longer connected....rudder quadrant connection should be checked frequently to ensure that connection si good, if not, it compromises all the bonding on the boat.

At Island Water World, it is $650 per month. $1068 is 64% more than $650, not exactly (what I consider as) "slightly" more... but again was, probably is now again, a nice property.

bonfiglioli for santorin
Eric Meury
any one know the exact part number for the outhaul gear box. I ordered one from drive tech as spare and when trying to put the motor on, the bolts for the motor do not align with the gearbox. spacing is all wrong.
this is for a santorin.

Re: Amel's suggestion to run the Volvo D3-110 (A54) daily while on passage
Jamie Wendell
Hello Alex, I believe you are referring to my D3-110 failure. When I experienced my water ingest issue, it was after a fairly calm trip up from Florida to the Chesapeake Bay. I ran the engine quite a bit, as I recall the wind was not great, but that was now more than 4 years ago, so I cannot remember all the details of what happened.
I understand exactly what you are suggesting though, in that water could potentially enter into the anti-siphon loop if un-expelled water collected in the cockpit. But I can say for sure in my case, there was no water in the cockpit from waves. And in my situation, I am really certain that water did not get forced into the exhaust loop on a starboard tack. I have seen the flapper that Amel installed first hand, and it looked OK to me (it is really kind of a tube), so again I think my issue was that the engine was not expelling the water through the muffler. I surmise that it was "back-washing" if you will into the exhaust manifold and hence entering the cylinders in spurts - not enough to flood and lock the engine, but enough to seize the valves and kill it once it sat for a week. Hope that helps. Jamie Amel 54 Phantom #44

I was there in December and Carrefour has been beautiful rebuilt, even nicer than before. Interesting Port de Plaisance is now only slightly more than IWW... definitely a nicer place. What are the monthly rates?
