Re: Power Failure
You need to get a meter and check the voltage at the main on off switch inside the engine compartment. If there is no voltage there there may be a fuse on the battery terminals that have blown. It is

Re: Greasing stegring cables
Steve, I have only over the years lost no more than a 1/4 of a cup if that. Based on what you describe there seems to be adequate lubrication to spare, and as much as I am not looking for any

Re: Greasing stegring cables
For everyone having rack problems, they are cast aluminium on our SM. Little wear showing on mine.

Power Failure
Electrical issues are not my strong suit. I had my house battery alternator off for a rebuild. I took my Maramu out for a day sail and upon return to the harbor, my house power failed -everything,

Hi Duane, sorry for the late reply, I have been at sea voyaging. Try washing the salt out with a fresh water hose and then when its dry, spray it with silicone. A salt build up will stop or create

Re: Prop Shaft Squeak
Hi James,
I believe you have a shaft alternator right? Try disconnecting the belt and see if the squeak stops. We had a squeak and it was the alternator bearings.

Re: Greasing stegring cables
Hi Pat,
I would suggest you do not attempt to add a grease fitting to the Racks. The steel racks take up almost all the room inside the black housing they are fitted into, and Iām not sure you can

Re: Greasing stegring cables
Pat,
I do not think it is possible to "replace the worn metal through welding in new material and then fashioning new teeth by filing."
Let me know how you fair on adding a grease port.

Re: Supermaramu wire sizes?
Thanks for the follow up Bill, I did read about Scott on Tengh rewiring with 2x50mm2 for his 5000w inverter. I believe others have installed the 3000w with the 100A wire. Can't recall the size

Re: Greasing stegring cables
Pat,
The potential grease port location I spoke of may be easy to reach on one rack, but I am not sure about the other. See below.

Re: Greasing stegring cables
Pat,
I haven't considered that. I assume that you are referring to the racks...the steering cable is sealed.
I assume that the "leaking grease" is coming from the rack housing at one end or the other.

Re: Greasing stegring cables
Bill, For some years now I have had a minor leak of grease from the rack&pinion . What do you think about adding a nipple to put a little grease back into the unit .
