Where is the breaker for the bow thruster, if there is one? Thanks, Kent SM253 Kristy

Bill, Forgot to sign properly. Maramu #91 1981 Popeye, - re-engined this year with Yanmar 4JH4TE 75 HP and removed the Perkins M60 (same engine as a Volvo MD22A.)

I will check into this as well. I'm a programmer by trade and would be happy, if needs be, to write something to transfer the data. I've been wondering if there was a way to "archive" this group for

John, Which model and hull# Amel do you own? Bill BeBe #387

Electronic fuel pump management on boats can bring in an area of lesser reliability. On the larger Yanmars at least, and I presume still on the latest smaller ones, they have mechanical fuel pumps

I think that the big problem with volvo marine engines, is the move to the common rail design. Remember that their marine engines are a small part of their buisness, so their supply of base engines

Kent, It may be the electronics , not the basic engine that is the problem. With all the Volvos out there, it seems odd that parts aren't available , I have heard they are expensive, fortunately I

They make an engine they call the 105. It is naturally aspirated and puts out 100hp at 2800 RPMs with an even power band. Here it is: http://www.betamarinenc.com/index.php/engines/?next=26 They use a

Kent, I concur that we have probably beat this topic into the "ground," if you will, but I do want to at least respond to your questions if I can. Maybe I can help clarify, or at least emphasize why I

Hi Pat. I don't know if older Volvos have more problems than Yanmars. I do know how difficult it is to find mechanics who like working on Volvos, and how parts are often not stocked in the

I am not an authority on engine design , but I can attest to the fact that I have had two Volvos in my Amel , and my previous boat for a total of about 22 years and thousands of engine hours and have

AC I understand, and agree that the risk of AC shock is very low, Alan. I guess I could imagine a scenario where the boat was holed and needed continuous pumping of the bilge. The generator might be

Hi Bill I have searched both sites before I asked the question they all come up with 1 3/8 inch. Could you direct me to a 3/8” one . I will try a pool supply today. Thanks Again Eric

Hi, I assumed you had an autoprop. Yes you have to drain the tank. The filter in the tank is similar to the screens in the shower drains. That is all I can think of. Can you get the engine up to

I note it says "download the fully featured trial version", which implies that someone would need to pay for the full version. I personally think that the glory days of free internet are coming to an

James, We are very sorry for your engine troubles. Do not rush with replacement of Volvo to Yanmar. There are happy Volvo engine owners. New Yanmar now using similar technology an on your Volvo.

I think you need to read Olivier;'s reply a bit more carefully : To be electrocuted while the generator is running, and on a vessel where the generator neutral is not connected with the ground, you

Eric, Google "3/8" mechanical seal." I see a lot of them. Also at ebay.com search 3/8" mechanical seal...there are lots of them. Go to a swimming pool shop...one that will repair a swimming pool

Hi Eric, Thanks for the info. I was unaware of such a filter at the fuel valve. So to check and service it I am assuming you have to empty the fuel tank. Is the filter a coarse screen? Anyone else

I wonder if a tool like this might help, seems to allow an offline copy of messages, documents and photos http://www.personalgroupware.com/index.htm Andrew SM472
