Older Maramu steering system pics
Hey folks
I thought these might be of interest for those with older Maramus with the morse red cables and the Morse 401 commander steering system.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Barnacle Buster
Yes, Pat, your local marine store manager is wrong, as Mark points out. However, the fact that BB is phosphoric acid based does not mean it is hugely dangerous. Coca-Cola (and most soft drinks) also

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Barnacle Buster
Mark, I spoke to the local Marine store connected to a marina here and the manager said that they use B/B on both sides of the cooling system. It is not an acid and on the bottle it said biodegradable

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Barnacle Buster
Mark, I am glad we clarified this , I was going to do it today. I already cleaned the exchanger , it did seem to clean it up better than what it was. I will check with an auto store about flushing or

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Barnacle Buster
Pat,
I do not think Iwould do this. No doubt the BB will eat the impeller and hoses etc. I thoughtyou meant to remove the heat exchanger and treat it away from the engine. Thiswould be best.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Barnacle Buster
Mark, Now that I know I can use it on the fresh water side, is this how I would proceed. I would drain all the antifreeze and refill with a 4 to 1 ratio mixture of B/B run the engine until it warms up

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Barnacle Buster
Hi Pat,
BB will take atleast four hours on a mild job. If your heat exchanger is blocked and has a lotof growth, I would suggest taking it to a radiator shop. They will do it forthe price of a gal

I have never used anything like Barnacle Buster and have a question. I took out my heat exchanger and I understand that I can soak it to clean it , but how long? Another question is that the interior

Good eye! Yes, there are blisters on the cast iron ballast, probably caused by the the cast iron ballast being separated from the bonding system with the most likely cause being the bonding strap in
