We're having trouble with our 160 l/h Dessalator watermaker. Before we bought our boat, the low-pressure feed pump was replaced with a Tellarini ENM-20, which does not produce sufficient flow or

Hi Giovammi, Yes, I received 2 binders. One has a printed copy of the PowerPoint presentation that was given and the other is a shop manual type of binder. I am fairly sure that these items are

Hi Bill, during the workshop did you received Yanmar documentation to post for Group ? Your experince may be very practical for Yanmar 4JH3 owners. Thanks so much Giovanni TESTA s/v EUTIKIA SM2k n

I attended a 3-day diesel workshop sponsored by Yanmar. I worked on, assembled, and disassembled a 4JH3-HTE for 3 days. The class consisted of 12 folks, but I was the only one who owned a 4JH3-HTE

AS far as using a synthetic oil is concerned DO IT AND DO IT NOW. There are a number of very good reasons for using a synthetic oil that is designed for diesel engines; 1- Diesels like to run hot,

Caframo fans made in Canada. about 30 to 40 USD. Open rubber blade is easy to clean and about the same or more wind. 2 speed. We are replacing all with either the black or white. We have 13 fans.

Jeff, I sent a few of mine to Hella. Basically they said that's the way they are. When they are tilted they rattle. When they are straight they do not. Fair Winds, Eric Amel Super Maramu #376

Hello, I have an SM200 with the Yanmar 4JH3 engine having about 2000HRS. To increase the oil change intervals, I have envisaged the use of Synthetic lubricant. Any experience in using synthetic oil?

Hi. I'm Jeff aboard "Antares" SM 378. I have a number of Hella fans aboard. They all seem to start to rattle rather quickly after purchase. I presume the problem is with worn bearings. Does anyone

Have a look at the small flaps that act as non-return valves.   With time they bend and do no seal.   Try reversing them and they seal.   it works for me.   Regards,   Robin

Frank: The only part on the macerator motor/impeller that requires regular maintenance is the motor shaft seal and this usually requires changing about every two years (per the Jabsco owners manual).

When this happened to me, I discovered that the discharge hose was completely blocked by calcification. This meant disassembling the white hose and clearing it by hammering, etc. Michael, SM2000

Hello Frank, I think Ian is talking about the pumps that supply the flush whereas your problem is pumping out. The pump out pumps may have siezed up whilst the boat was out of the water. To check this

Hi David,   There is a rubber band which prevents water from penetrating at the base of the vertical hatch. It is similar to the rubber preventing water to run down a car door window. It is called

The AnnieM is in the process of being rebuilt and of course we face many challenges. Today's particular challenge is to try and gather some information on the sliding main hatch blade. Can the
