Hi Gary, My bilge switch is an APEM On-Off switch with long toggle. Unfortunately the 631xxxx or 636xxxx number is no longer readable... The number might be 631H/2-5 according to the datasheet on

Thanks for all the responses gents...appreciated! To answer all your suggestions. It’s difficult to tell if I increase speed slowly whether it makes a difference. It’s not obvious but I think it

I know this was addressed before, but searching through the earlier posts I didn't run across the "answer" I was looking for. This morning the bilge pump did not come on and while doing some

Hello Victor, As you own an SM, a 10 mm chain is vastly sufficient.. even a G70 grade 8 mm chain is overkill. There are 3 grades of chain G30 (lowest grade), G40 and G70. G40 is the grade installed

Your Santorin has a different gearbox than my Maramu but I know when I had my clutches replaced the mechanic was very careful in making sure the thrust washer was the proper thickness. He actually

Not that I’ve got lithium’s, but will hopefully at some point. Why not ask the battery manufacturer how to park the batteries? Surely they have a recommendation? Interesting thread. Thanks.

In addition, in general, what good is a “warranty” if you are in several years 500NM to 5000Nm away from the “installer”. I have had problems getting people to back up their warranty while

Hi Joerg, I don't want to annoy you but how long is the warranty on your installation? This whole "do leave the batteries at 100% for extended periods" is to preserve the batteries in 5-8 years time,

Following up on my post further up this chain: I received word back from Mastervolt tech support whether it is safe to leave the boat plugged into shore support and connected to the Mastervolt smart

Just guessing, but have you tried totally disconnecting the cable from the transmission shift lever and shifting it by hand, thus absolutely eliminating adjustment as even a remote possibility? Also,

Dave, Unfortunately I have had to winterize my boats over the last 40 years more times than I would like. All I do is : Have at least seven or so gallons of marine engine antifreeze in my engine room

I had a similar issue with my old Yanmar. Like you, it happened after I noticed that the shift cable was binding and I had replaced it. I initially had no issues but got stuck out from the marina sand

If the prop shaft alternator/ Vetus drive is increasing speed with revs then the issue is clearly after that. I have no experience of the mechanics of the C Drive, but I understand it is heftily

When I asked Dessalator's USA rep Mark Fruehauf at Balcen (info@...) about how best to winterize our watermaker I got this reply: "For winterizing I recommend doing a fresh water flush and then

Thank you Doniniqie and Heinz. I only have 70 m. I would like to go for 100, but for the moment I'm using the combination of chain and rope because the last 30 m. very seldom use them. Victor

I have lost drive on my Santorin. It started when I replaced the morse throttle/gear selector and at first I thought it was bad cable adjustment meaning my gearbox clutch not engaging properly.

I’m pulling Celtic Cross up on the hard this winter here in Michigan (42 degrees 32 minutes north) and I’d like to know what others have done with their seawater system in freezing climates. I

When I asked the manufacturer for information about my schiffstyes and the weight of my Sm 2000, he recommended the 8mm chain. I decided to use the 10mm chain. Never had a problem. Runs very clean and

Hello Victor, I changed the anchor but not the chain. Because I have 100 meters (10 mm) stainless steel. The locker can not store 100 m 12 mm or 14 mm and in Greece sometimes you have to drop the

This is a very enriching thread. Thank you all for such valuable information. I am also about to change my 30 kg. Wasi for either a Mantus 48 kg. or an Ultra in my SM. But I see no one talking about
