Thanks every one for the replies. After about 5 hours of motor sailing we lowered the RPM slowly and did not get a low pressure warning. It's been over 100 degrees and zero wind in chania so still

Hi Bill Is is definitely a turbo engine. It is the same block as the non turbo d 2 50 so perhaps that was the one you read. Regards Danny SM 299 Ocean Pearl Sent from my Vodafone Smart

Ian Me again. Top speed. Max rpm 3000. So similar speed. Cruising. Same again. It is driving through the same gearbox. Same reduction so at any given rpm same speed. Doesn't seem to be affected as

Hi again Ian. Forgot to say the salt water pump is on the front of the motor low down. Easy to get at but have to lean over the engine. The heat exchanger is not easy to access. Unlike the

Hi Ian, The installers routed the exhaust across the engine to the box. They had to cut, turn, and weld the entry tube to meet it. I thought a better alternative was to swap the box to the other

Fernando: Sorry for the piecemeal reply, I looked up what I paid for that PN switch in April 2016 and it was $67 here in the USA from Cummins Diesel Rocky Mountain (my Onan parts supplier here in

Fernando: I see I didn't answer all your questions in your original post. There is no thermal paste on my installation, nor does the service manual mention such. Just screw the new sensor into place

Hi Fernando: Here is a quote from the service manual for your generator. (in the files section of this forum) Fault Shutdown Sequence "Check Engine" Faults: The following fault switches shut down

Thank you Mark and Bill. I will request the yard to make sure the exhaust hose follows the original installation. Terry&Dena SV Libby # 196 Maple Bay, BC

Danny, Interesting... Volvo's specification sheet calls the D2-75 a "naturally aspirated" engine. I saw what looked like a turbocharger in the picture, but figured I'd believe what was

Hi Danny, Very interested to read your email and would love to hear more. With the exhaust on the other side were you still able to connect to the original stainless muffle box ? How accessible

Good morning, Yes all 3 units are the same and have the same capacitors. Last time I changed mine was in 2013, then now last week. All you need to do is time to time check the Micro Farrah reading of

Hi Ian. You may have noticed a while ago my post re damage caused by over turboing the tmd22 when the waste gate freezes. It caused the death of our tmd but only after much expense based on bad

Sorry group to pile onto this topic however, this evening I found the forward stateroom filled with smoke. After examination of the AC unit, one of the fan capacitors had a big hole in it. I also

Bill, Thanks. I, too, like all the features that you highlight. It's almost as though Volvo have been listening to the sailing community ( surely a first ! ). For the time being we we are

Ian and Judy, I have no personal experience with the D2-75, but it does look like a good match for the SM. I like the all mechanical operation. I like the low end torque. I find this to be the

And if that relief valve fails to close all the way due to a bit of debris or a weak spring it can lead to low oil pressure, especially at low rpm. The oil pumps on most all engines will produce way

Peter, Did that price include panels, regulator and installation? Cheers Dean Amel 54 TBD

Tony, I paid $6,000 in 2013. Excellent product worked well in my circumnavigation. Peter Forbes Carango Amel 54#035 Grenada in hurricane cradle

Bill, As far as I know, all engines with pressurized oil systems also have a pressure relief valve which bypasses the excess oil at a preset pressure. I can tell you that if the valve gets stuck
