Chris,
Thank you for that link to the jet system. Never heard about this company. Really great find. I love it, no more seals, special parts, anodes, and clunky systems. Anybody on the forum has any

Re: Volvo Heat Exchanger
Hi Pat, bit of a problem with the infrared temp sensors. Can you find a known heat to test them on. My check is standing on the engine barefoot as I drop in to do stuff after motoring. Might sound

Re: Antifouling / Bottompaint
Hi Slavako. I used Micron 66 for years. OK for a start but latterly I suspected a change in formulation as it got progressively less effective with each use.

Pual,
Consider a different option- abandoning the Amel (unsupoted) system and go for you own solution using new Tech.. If it were me, I would use the space for the existing bow thruster to install a

Re: Climma Heat
Every time I experienced this on our SM or others the cause was poor air flow triggering the safety cutoff switch, and the most common causes are in this order:
1.) Fan capacitors out of spec.

Paul,
You might want to get in touch with Aras Grunius (you'll find him on this forum). He has a Sharki, and is in the process of rebuilding his bow thruster with the help of a local machinist.

Re: QUICK Water Heater
Elaine,
The Quick heaters are stainless. 304 stainless is frequently slightly magnetic. It's possible that the rust you see is more from the water than the heater. Many sources of water are rich in

Re: Older style C-Drive; oil type and temperature
Hi Mike,
Our old c-drive was overheating last year even after we fixed the oil leak, it was really really hot , like an iron. There was also a strange smell. We could only use the engine on low revs

QUICK Water Heater
We have just removed our Quick water heater from 1999 super Maramu to clean and service it. Any advice on whether it is stainless steel, it's only slighty magnetic. It's still the original heater

Hi Helen and Kosta,
Thank you guys for this information. I hope your newly installed drive is serving you well!
Spares are great but carrying an entire C-Drive might be too much, even for a SM

we use firefly batteries as our main house batteries and are very happy with the performance and value. Certainly, they would work well in your application, but… you will be paying a steep

Re: Antifouling / Bottompaint
Just checked on International web site and Micron 66 is "retired". No replacement have been mentioned. It is mentioned on Australia site, not on others. Local dealer in Croatia is saying Trilux 33.
