I changed my switch last year in a Philippi Lau 340 with 3 inputs. 1st shore power 2nd generator 3. battery cable. The generator always has priority. This gives you the possibility to have 220 v permanently on the sockets in the ship. Works great. 520 Euro Fare winds Heinz Sy Quetzal, Super Marabu 2000, 292  Mit freundlichen Grüßen Heinz Stutenbāumer Dachdeckermeister

Thanks Eric, any idea how long the packing material might last if kept in a vacuum sealed bag?

Hi , Here is a photo of a wrench that I made to tighten the nut. It is made from a piece of 6 mm aluminum stock and cut out with a band saw. You can also make a long "L" shaped piece of stainless steel the vertical part of the L will hold the nut in place and the horizontal section is drilled for screws and this screws into the base below the nut. I expanded the stuffing box and now have 5 pieces of packing in the stuffing box.

All good, it is a
Generic Indicator 24 VDC Lamp T5 5mm, commonly used in the
automotive industry. 5 cost $9, hate to know what it cost to run
around town trying to look for the whole unit, ridiculous. Kind

Hi Eamonn, That type of manual switch is called a transfer switch. Did you also install a galvanic isolator in the circuit while you were rewiring the boat? What type of housing did you enclose the circuit breaker in your aft lazarette? Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

Re: Port and Door Holders...

Mark,
We had several of these mushrooms completely missing when we bought our SM ~2 years ago and could not find replacements anywhere. My extremely clever wife Denise came up with a "temporary" solution that is still working to this day. She used Sugru Mouldable Glue to make her own mushrooms and they have been working great for 2 years now. In the USA it's available online at Amazon, Target, Walmart, eBay, etc. However, its a UK based company so I am sure it available in the EU/UK as well. Some pics of one of her handmade mushrooms as well as the Sugru box are attached below: e   We have also have had surprisingly good success using this to fix some broken "fingers" on cabin top lockers. It really is great stuff to have around the boat! Mark McGovern SM #440 Cara Deale, MD USA |

I was going to tell you to pressure test the other inlet/outlet of the heat exchanger but you are obviously way ahead of me! Please let is know how this turns out and best of luck to you! -- Mark McGovern SM #440 Cara Deale, MD USA |

You are quite correct,
the front does come off to reveal a globe. I was being over
cautious removing it but it does clip off. Thank you. Kind

Hi Mark, the Bildge RED

green, red or whatever available. My fridge and freezer are the
type you mentioned previously and are readily available here in

Re: Pilot Lights
Hi Barry,
What light in the panel are you looking to replace? Is this the freshwater pump light? If so, there is a bulb inside the housing.
I used these (yellow) to replace the lights on the panel indicating the freezers we on. They fit with a little adhesive to hold in place. If your hole is too big, consider putting an o-ring on the new light and gluing it to the panel with a dab of contact cement.
With best regards,
Mark

I have a 24 VDC pilot light failed and I am trying to locate
where I can get the same to replace the existing one without changing the
exiting type. Any ideas on the type and brand, thank you. |
