Re: Batteries starting to get weak - MMM - What to do -
Scott SV Tengah
Great that you took the plunge. Those Agm batteries aren't cheap so if you can keep your lithium alive, I'm certain it will save you money over the long term.
I'm a little confused on your air con runtime on battery. Not sure about the sm, but on our 54 we have a Climma 9 in the aft cabin, which draws 782watts/26.3v=29.7amps and the calpeda pump draws 14 amps. FYI the voltage is what my victron has calculated as the average voltage under draw during the last two years. The climma draw is per spec, but only when the compressor is running. So even assuming the extreme/unrealistic case of 100% duty cycle, that's 44 amps an hour or around 132 amp hours over 3 hours. With your 600amps at 24v, you should be able to run much longer than 3 hours. Perhaps your battery monitor is not calibrated correctly? Or perhaps you're talking about running all 3 air con units? I'm always excited by a cheaper way to do the same thing. The victron / master volt setup is far more expensive but I guess two years ago when I installed it, I was so inexperienced with this lithium stuff and given the catastrophic battery failure and boat damage that can occur if you don't have the proper safety measures in place, I was too chicken to try it on my own. Excited to see how you managed those risks for far less cost than we (Garulfo, Joerg, myself) did. Too late for me but perhaps it can help others.

Re: Sharki genoa top furling device blocked
There 2 sets of bearings. Before taking seal out take note of numbers. Bearing 123 should have the seal and bearings to match. I think bearing 123 is in France Aras On Mon, Sep 7, 2020, 12:42 PM Volker <Puchta@...> wrote: Hi Aras, |

Re: Sharki genoa top furling device blocked
Hi Aras,
I went to a ship yard and tomorrow we will take down the fore stay, to be able to take it apart. Like you I tried everything, rinsing with water, with dry lubricant, ... Nothing was successfull, it seems we have to take it apart and may be rebuild it by a machine shop. Regards, Volker Mickmoon, Sharki, hull no. 176 |

Re: Failure of the Raymarine autopilot linear drive M81134 24v
I experienced a Raymarine clutch failure, but that failure was because the autopilot voltage to the clutch was set at 24-volts. Raymarine Type 2 drives have a 12-volt clutch and a 24-volt motor. They are very reliable, but I think 18 years may be near the end of life for the motor and clutch. Bill

Hello! If you have heard of people's motors failing, I'll buy a new one on the spot, but I've only ever heard of clutch, belt, and bearing failures. Thanks in advance for your input,

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] RPMs and Temperature reading
I had not mentioned that before leaving Carriacou the engine did not start. There was no lighting on the instrument panel
It took a few minutes to find that the 12V + cable was corroded and separated from the panel. So, I removed the corroded part of the cable and the engine started. After less than a few minutes the sails were up and the engine turned it off for the next 50 hours while we sailed with the asymetric spy and the mizzen staysail on a great broad reach with 18 knots of breeze. The “overheating” only observed when we started the engine again to motor sail from Bonaire towards curaçao. Yesterday I conducted a few more tests: First, I unscrewed the sensor from the engine and submerged its tip on a small container with hot water at 160 F degrees. When I turned on the engine switch it was reading 200 F. So that confirmed that it had to be either the sensor or the gauge, at least I though. However when I dismounted the instrument panel to check if corrosion was involved in the problem, the temperature readings became erratic going from 120 to 220 up and down depending on how I moved the cables behind the panel. I went on and cleaned al the connections I could find and after fiddling with the cables the temperature of the water and that of the gauge coincided in a systematic manner. CONCLUSION: the engine was never overheating. The sensor and the gauge were OK. The reason for the bad reading was corrosion on the cables behind the instrument panel. No need to change the gauge, or the sensor, I am just going by buy a new set of cables and two gun infrared thermometers! I hope the this may help others when they have a similar problem Thanks to all for providing very helpful suggestions: Jose Venegas Ipanema SM2K 278 |

Re: Sharki genoa top furling device blocked
Hi Volker. I seem to be having the very same problem. I tried spraying it, then rinsing it generously and copiously with water. Same result. Turns very stiffly. In fact it got bad enough where my jib tang had cracked. I had to remove and make a new one. My next steps will be to remove the top and press out the bearings. If you have better pictures I sure would appreciate seeing them.

Sharki genoa top furling device blocked
My top furling device for the genoa is turning very very badly. I need help to get it going or to dismantle it.
I have already taken away the brown tigthening ring and now I can see a white plastic bearing that seems to cause the problem. Any idea how to get it going again? Thank you, Volker Mickmoon, Sharki, hull no. 176 |

Hi,
interesting topic, I will try to attend if I can. 2 questions : -is this discussion include Code 0 / Code D solutions? and generally speaking downwind / Lightwind solutions ? -would you mix the good/better/best solutions depending on the sail Genoa/main/mizzen? (as you don't put the same ambitions in a genoa and a mizzen...) cheers Alex |

A54 hawsehole and chain guide
Sv Garulfo
Hi all, We recently end-to-ended our anchor chain and I found the pictured device useful to guide the chain nice and flat at the bottom of the chain locker. It’s simply a piece of PVC pipe with a couple of small line to gutter the chain in various corners of the locker.  And when you don’t use it, it snaps happily on the hawsehole pipe for efficient storage.  Best, Thomas GARULFO A54-122 Bora-Bora |

Re: Oil Pressure Volvo D3 I - C
Mohammad Shirloo
Hi Dirk;
The pressures you are observing are fine, based our experience. The oil pressure sensor is a simple switch that triggers at a certain oil pressure. I’m not sure what exact pressure, but our engine pressure was slightly over 1 bar at idle and when engine was normal running temperature. When we changed the oil pressure switch, our issue with the low oil pressure went away. I would proceed with caution with the Volvo “expert” that is advising you that 1.3 bars at idle is not enough pressure.
If you are still near Dubrovnik, it should not be hard or take too long to have one shipped from France. We are actually wintering in Montenegro, and have 3 spares on board. If not for COVID, and we were on board, I could have easily sent you one. Because we had actual oil pressure measurements and were confident that we did not have an oil pressure issue, we continued with the alarm popping up from time to time, until we received the pressure switch. Off course, another event could potentially come up that actually leads to low oil pressure during this time, but for us, the risks were acceptable.
Happy Sailing;

Hi Paul, Ralph, Mohammad and Arno,
thank you for your answers and your experience.
We connected an external gauge and the pressure is with cold engine at 2bar at 700rpm (idle) and 4bar at 1500rpm. After 15min. with normal oil temperature (75degree) the oil pressure drops to 1.3bar when idling. And 3 bar at 1500rpm. The Volvo expert thinks, that this is not enough. Actually the oil pressure sensor should not trigger before the oil pressure drops down to 0.7bar. That´s why I think the old sensor is too sensitive…
First I will try it with a new sensor… unfortunately it needs time to get it, and maybe someone of you have some experience with the oil-pressure with a warm engine…
Thanks and take care,
Dirk

New Rub Rail Insert Group Purchase
Patrick McAneny
The time has come to finalize the group purchase of the white rub rail inserts. Presently we have nine owners that are purchasing new inserts. Based on that number their cost should be, based on two 52 ft. lengths ,( you could probably get by with 51 ft. ,your decision . )
104' x $8.90/ft. = $925.00 plus $72. for die = $997.00 total , plus your individual shipping. I will email each owner , but thought this would reach most ,and give anyone else a last chance to order . I want all owners to contact Techno Rubber before the end of this week ,Friday 9/11 to finalize their purchase . After that date a production date will be set ,probably within two weeks or so and the inserts will be shipped . Contact : Techno Rubber Paula or Laura 1 305 888 6324 rubberindustries@... Thank You, Pat SM Shenanigans |
