Where is the best place to buy a new turbo for the Volvo TMD22? Has any one got a pet supplier of perkins parts that I should go to? Graham SM140 Sula Hong Kong

Straight forward question: If you have or have had a Volvo TMD22 in your Super Maramu, what is the max RPM you ever achieved with the max prop fitted? The more responses the better! Graham SM 140

Hi Anne and John, I'm confused by your "grey water tank" alarms.  On SM 243 there is no grey water tank...the grey water flows directly into the bilge sump.  I'm guessing you are talking about the

Hello Bill and Judy, I quite agree which is why we would not leave the boat with mains water connected. My primary reason for making the connection is that we only put water maker water into out

Eric, I very recently had the main sheet attachment actually pull out of the boom on an older Super Maramu in ten knots of wind. Most of all the symptoms you mention were present after the fact but

I was thinking of having a Jib halyard clutch fitted to the main mast to free up the main winch on that side - like the mizzen halyard. Does anyone have any experience doing this or know of any

For the third time now, one of the membrane end caps has sprung a leak on my 160 l/h water maker. I only noticed this when hunting for some grease to give to another boat as the far end of the

In the course of thoroughly inspecting Kimberlite , I noticed that the bracket on the boom that the main sheet block hangs from was cracked inside the boom. The brackets attached to the underside

Hi all, another thing to think of is the SM has a 1000 litre water tank. If you leave the boat with the fresh water pump turned on (but stopped because of the pressure switch) and a leak develops some

John, Water flow at 40psi through 3/4" hose/pipe is about 300 liters/minute. How long would it take a burst hose or broken hose clamp in the watertight engine room to cause the filling the engine

Hi Phil, I have run into the same problem! Very frustrating indeed!!! Could you please be more specific as to which sikaflex product you used. There are a great number of them so the exact brand

Our freshwater pump is a 40 psi Jabsco which is fine. The plumbing is all on one circuit so the pressure tank behind the generator gets pressurised by the Jabsco. Mains water is normally much cheaper

Hello, We have redone our headlining four years ago on my santorin 94.Took off the old vinyl cleaned it properly with brush and vacume cleaner.Started with a 3m spray kind of glue they use for

Hi Ian the on demand pressure pumps at 40 psi 24 v are around US $180. They install easy and in 7 seven years SM 209 have not failed or needed service as a full time live aboard. No tank no
