Hi all, We have the Maramu #98 1981 with the infamous, invincible "Mr Perkins" engine, 4.154 M. Well, he's overheated on us ( the alarm didn't sound and luckily my husband just happened tobe looking

Good to know. I will reinstate the original. I need to wait on that project until probably when I haul out. In about three weeks time. Drop the poles down below the boat onto a couple of

It is very easy to mount the one-way valve backward. And, sometimes the on-way valve will get stuck open with a piece of debris. Also, this is very important, any suction leak of any kind will cause

Nick the pole fittings were originally riveted. Someone has tampered with this and that caused your paint to bubble. My guess is that they drilled the rivet holes larger and this caused moisture to

This is option as well. Parts for my pump were 25 euro and few hours of work from my side. -- Slavko SM 2000 #279 Bonne Anse in Croatia

Or you could replace it with a self-priming, variable pressure, compact Shurflo Aqua-King II! We did this last year. Fabulous pump.

I adding the schematics of the pump. Item 25 have to unscrewed. -- Slavko SM 2000 #279 Bonne Anse in Croatia

I have the same pump. There is a screw on the left side on the front of the pump (it 13,15 or 17). There you have to add water and then it will start working. That was how I fixed it after replacing

Mike I use one balancer with the battery midpoints interconnected as required by Victron Jose Gabriel Venegas Ipanema SM2k 278

Dear all, A few days ago I dismantled my original SM fresh water pump to clean off lots of rust on a body of electric motor. Did that, gave it a lick of paint, installed it back and it is no longer

Interesting and unexpected observations gentlemen, This could simply be a little non liniarity or a bit of offset in the Victron voltage measurement circuits: you are only talking about 0.28V max.

.. and its been this way for some time ... -- Dean Gillies SV Stella *****, Amel 54-154

Hi Scott, Well there you go. I don't understand the mechanism whereby the bottom battery is consistently lower voltage. Sounds like an interesting conversation with Victron. Keep us posted on what

Thanks Vladan, I have sent an email to the Lefkada store. Roque, Its not so easy to get my hands on a magnet while cruising in Greece, so I'll cough up for the kit! The sensor works with a big magnet

 I re placed the pealing strip that protects the pole from the bulwork with some cow hide. It is glued down with two part contact adhesive. We shall see how long it lasts. It may curl off on the

Dean, Well it seems there's theory and then there's practice. Or something else is going on. First measurement after swapping the wiring of each respective serial pair such that the prior "bottom"

Fortunately my masts have yet to go back up. I have a new pair which I will replace this time!! I can measure the length but the diameters would be different on the SN. My forestay is 10mm and I

I might be stating the obvious here but unless battery midpoints are interconnected, you will need one balancer per battery pair. They start doing their job when voltage is above 27.3V. For their

Scott, I agree with Dean. Independent of the band, it makes sense that controlling the total voltage of a battery set in series does not ensure that the voltage of both batteries is sufficient to
