Re: SM & A54 Main + Mizzen manual furling gear boxes - seals, o-rings, dust cover … + source(s) ???
Bill,
the extra seal number 5 is 45 x 58 x 7
It’s difficult to check size of the motor seal without taking off motor. For sure shaft coming out of motor is 45 mm so it can be.
Also as I see Danny

Re: Opacmare - replacing sensor
Hi Scott,
The brain of this thing is fairly rudimentary so not too likely to fail unless water has entered the enclosure or the connectors.
The way they routed the sensor cables is not the best

Thank you Bill and Danny.
That helps.
Dear Vladan,
thx a lot.
Unfortunately the photo is not readable (list of seals). Thus I appreciate a better resolution. Thanks for that.
I found 2 good sources

Re: Converting my Amel 54 to lithium batteries: what I did, what I like and what I don't like (after one year of full time live aboard use)
Reudi,
My AC pump works on inverter just fine. We got rid of the Amel transfer switch when we upgraded to the Victron Quattro which has it's own "smart" transfer switch that can limit input current

Like you, I have spent lots of money making this thing work. I have sort of given up after spending around half of what you spent. It sounds like you were more determined that I was!

Re: What to do with LiFePO4 batteries when the boat is layed up?
Joerg,
My understanding of the ideal SOC for storage is based on two things:
(1) I read the objective, peer reviewed research literature which all seem to point towards longer life at around 40-60%

Re: Test plug on a 54 Volvo 110 D3
Bertrand,
The readout comes from the little LCD panel below the tach. At least it does on my D3-110C. I presume your tach has an LCD panel, too?

Goiot Hatch Mushroom Alternative
One of the minor parts that has a finite lifetime on a SM is the Goiot rubber "mushrooms" that hold the portlights open. Eventually they crack and the rubber rots and they just don't work right.
