Re: Eberspacher 5L diesel heater
Duane Siegfri
Alan,
Symptons: When I turn the dial to ventilate, or one of the heat settings, the green indicator light in the dial comes on, but nothing else happens. No heat, no fan. The boatyard I was in (Jamestown RI), I'm not sure who the subcontractor was. Duane |

Re: Boston E 14, new Bamar Furler
I examined them closely and did notice some changes between the old and the new. They may have improved the robustness as the old one did like to fail. Mine were both broken.
Be aware the new furlers use additional wires I posted a whole story about this some months ago. Cheers, Arno |

I am pretty sure all is fine but next time I haul I will double check for any play beyond 8-10mm laterally. Nick

Nick, same as SM. There is a rubber bushing sleeved around that bolt. This is exactly what I am talking about.

Re: supplemental downwind sailing configuration for Super Maramu
Jose,
Very cool!
I guess I have one more question. Where did you buy this and do you have part number? (that might be two questions)
With best regards,

Did you have to modify the ballooner and add a gaiter? NO Where do you attach it to on the foredeck? Directly
to the anchor support plate standard hole

Super Nick, It is exactly my conclusion bat the two fixed prop are perfect, so I could not image it could be possible ... Before to turn back to Autoprop (actually as spare) I will check the big bolt on the bottom of the C-drive that fixed it on the keel ... Merci beaucoup for your help full answer ...

On my last boat I used to have a fixed three blade prop and there was some vibration. It was a traditional shaft and stern tube arrangement. I spent ages realigning the engine. Then I pulled the shaft and sent it with the prop to a machine shop. The shaft was true but the prop was not balanced properly. I decided to buy a feathering prop and keep the old as a spare. No more vibration....So it could be the prop. |

On the 54 there is a bolt covered in black mastic from the bottom of the C drive to the iron keel. Presumably this anchors the C drive. Is there any adjustments or anything to look out for? Nick Amelia AML54-019 in Gaios Paxos

Re: super maramu, vibrations generated when the engine is running
On a C-Drives older than 1999, don't forget to check the C-Drive foot for side-to-side movement by pushing on the aft end of the foot. No more than 8-10mm. If you have more, remove the foot bolt to the ballast and replace the bushing which is made of heavy rubber hose.

Re: Eberspacher 5L diesel heater
Alan Grayson
Hi Duane, what were your symptoms? How long does it run on heat mode? Does the thermostat shut it down when it's warm?
Mine runs for about 7 mins just fine then stops. It has done this for a while but I have never been in a temp below 70 degrees. Tomorrow is forecast for 64 so I will try again. Who did you have work on it as I can't seem to find anyone? Regards Alan Grayson SV Ora Pai.

Sent: Friday, 21 June 2019 3:07:28 AM To: main@AmelYachtOwners.groups.io Subject: [AmelYachtOwners] Eberspacher 5L diesel heater Hi all,
We have the 5L diesel heater on Wanderer. It wasn't working when we bought the boat, and I had it checked when we were in Jamestown last August. The tech right away found it was the PCB that was the problem, "corrosion". He replaced it and Voila! it worked! He told me to run the heater once a month to keep it dry. What I really liked about this unit, is that when it's raining and the boat is closed up, we can turn on the "ventilation" mode where only the fan runs but no diesel is burned. It brings in outside air and keeps the boat cooler. Also, when it's cold, it takes outside air with low humidity, heats it, lowering the relative humidity even more resulting in less humidity problems in the winter. Now ten months later we're back to it doesn't work and it has the same symptoms. It seems the PCB is again corroded. The PCB runs $250. Has anyone else had this problem? Is the unit not made for marine service? Most of the videos I've seen for repair advice are related to van installations. I plan to hit liberally with some Corrosion-X but not sure that's a solution.

Hello everyone I have two friends who have a SM (1997 and 1999) who after having changed all the mounts and the coupling of the engine have a significant residual vibration. Both have the distinction of having a fixed three-blade propeller. Would there be in our group a person who had this problem or could have a track? |

I have heard Yanmar is particularly bad with going thru mounts. Some engines do not run smoothly, some do.
