Re: Exhaust water temperature sensor 7MDKAL

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Roller Furling Questions

Hey Mark, I'm assuming you are referring to the rivet holes which hold the aluminum extrusion in place. You should have a total of 8 rivets around it. I can't tell from the pictures if the rivets are

Re: Roller Furling Questions

Mark, there should be either bolts or rivets in those holes connecting the drum of the upper drum to the foil. There was a thread just a few days ago (search for jib furler), there were instructions

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Volvo D2-75 for a SuperMaramu

Hi Danny, Thanks for all your answers. It's always good to hear from a customer rather than a salesman and you sound a satisfied customer. We will see how our TMD behaves once all the gremlins have

Re: Jib Furler problem with partly furled sail

I finally got the clutch pin out and found that it was substantially bent. The clutch pin "handle" was reversed because the bent pin would not permit the handle to be mounted properly, which also

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Volvo D3-110 low oil pressure warning

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

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Volvo D2-75 for a SuperMaramu

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

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Volvo D2-75 for a SuperMaramu

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

Re: Exhaust water temperature sensor 7MDKAL

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

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Volvo D2-75 for a SuperMaramu

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
