Hot water or better put heating the water raises the pressure so in the short term less pumping. Regards Richard Piller Cell 603 767 5330

Hi All if one feels it is the heat exchange then the exhaust outlet near the water line can be swabbed if the sample smells like anti freeze then heat exchanger is the most likely at fault. Regards

All things considered, I don't know why you want to use anything but the whip. Bill BeBe [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

*Mark*, You are right on with your question. If the pressure drops, there is a leak in the cooling system...that is all it tells you. It does not tell you where the leak is, nor does it tell you it

In agreement with Joel we do not allow anyone near the antenna went the SSB is in use. High power RF is nothing to mess with. Regards Capt Richard Piller Fairbanks Yacht Group llc Full brokerage and

Hello Miles, A week or two ago I removed the forward cover plate on the fuel tank and inserted a copper pipe two metres long with a short piece of plastic tube on the end. The pipe was straight apart

Kent if you have sea water in the fresh water cooling system be very sure to flush it very well with lots and lots of fresh water. Regards Richard Piller Cell 603 767 5330

If you get no pressure drop there is no leak in the system. Its like filling a tire and putting it in a water tank looking for bubbles the find a leak this way you simply look for a pressure

Hi Kent, It does sound like your engine heat exchanger especially of it is salt water. The other thing that I forgot to mention is that if it was coming from the calorifer (a) more likely

A backstay antenna can have its lower insulator high enough that it's not possible to grab hold of the insulated (antenna) part.   This is a very good primer on SSB installation :

Interesting, Trevor. I don't think that is where my overflow is coming from, since it happens when M not heating water except by the Yanmar. There is no contamination of the hot water either.

Richard, Pardon my ignorance here, but what would it show if the pressure drips or doesn't dip? Is this a way to test the heat exchanger? Best regards, Mark Skipper Sailing Yacht

Kent see if you can barrow or rent a radiator pressure tester put up to 14 psi into the coolant system and see how long it take to bleed off. Don't over do the pressure. Give they are setup to fill a

Kent, I am not sure that I have all the components of this thread so forgive me if I have missed something. One certain way that the overflow bottle on the Yanmar will overflow is if you have a

Thank you Joel. I have run the engine at 3200 rpm for 10min or so every few hours of running. I have never seen the temp above 200. I'll drain the engine and replace with coolant for now and replace

The Amel philosophy regarding using a whip instead of a insulted backstay is many fold. First, whips are more efficient in almost every possible measure. Second, if the rig comes tumbling down

Kent, you are on the money concluding that the fresh to raw/salt water heat exchanger has a leak. It is about the only way to get the fresh water side coolant to continually increase in volume and

Update on the 220 Volt engine room ventilation fan. I just did a 3 hours genset test run (charge batteries, etc.) With the new Capacitor, the 220 Volt exhaust fan works very well! You can definitely

Thanks Mark, I'm pretty sure I have that diagram. Unfortunately I've run the new Yanmar 4JH4HTE for a few hours and the overflow tank is filling up w/o running the Onan. It's apparently in the
