Hi. I have a near new tmd22 turbo sitting in my cupboard. As part of my attempts to get my engine going I bought and installed. Shortly there after I gave up and bought a new motor. I also have a

I am probably taking your suggestion of taking off your turbo way more seriously than the spirt in which you made it but here goes... Just so you have the perspective right, a healthy TMD22 as

Thank you for your advice. I will definitely exercise the engine at high RPMs regularly once I get this sorted. Alexandre, my best wishes to you. Hang in there. Paul Sent from Mail

When we bought our SM the turbo was sized, We just left it to the local VP service shop who send it to A "specialist" in fixing Turbos. Total cost was around 650 euro including take it of and put the

Good evening Paul, In the 5 years I owned NIKIMAT, I replaced twice the turbo. According to the 2 different mechanics, it was not reparable, so put a new one. Things I did not do, was to push to 90%

Hello Paul, I had this issue twice on 2 different TMD22. In each case, the turbo was rebuilt as it was not seized badly. Make it a point to give your engine an Italian tune up often. I run the engine

Thank you Mark. The running high RPMs periodically is something I’ve always done on previous boats for the exact reason you mention. Wasn’t sure though if that practice was turbo related or

Paul, Do a Google searchfor a local shop that rebuilds turbos (are you in the USA?). If it is too badlycorroded it will not be repairable and you will have to get a new one. Also, TryGoogle Maps

Hello everyone. Lately there has been a thread regarding RPMs. This is a problem that I've had with our Volvo since we purchased the boat a year ago. I had always feared it was the turbo since I

Paul I stayed with B&G brand instruments. I think it is important to remember that B&G is no longer the independent company doing it's own thing the way it used to be. For some time now it has been

HI Mike, I plan to go to Hampton at the end of October and depart from there. I will be happy meeting you. Do you keep your boat in Rock Hall marina? Write me SONSEV52 on gml. Vladimir 202 258 1916

Thanks for this really helpful info Roger On my old boat (30ft!) I installed a removable inner forestay and used a hank on 80% gib on that poled out to windward It worked a treat but I do like the

Completely agree. Used outside external antenna fine but inside use an external. We connected with an adaptor to the existing iridium satellite phone antenna. That said. It usually takes 2-4

Miles, We should also mention the Mizzen Stay Sail. If you are heading not dead down wind, but, off a little, (with or without pole), and the jib is setting nicely, but the main sail blocks the jib.

Hi Allan, as I said since then I have been told that. However the unit never failed again so it did no harm and it would seem the grease stopped the salt penetrating again. BUT the expert advice is no

I stayed there in May. Surprised new marina is still not open as it looked ​just about ready in May. As most everywhere around the Med, the swell can get ​"​interesting ​"​. ​

Good morning Vladimir, Lost power last night, I think this is from the little wind we had from Hurricane Marina, probably a short somewhere in the lines… so running on generator and little time to

David That will give approx 17 m, and with a foot of 12.5 m gives a sail area of 95 Sqm. looks big in length but rather small in area, but does 95 sqm looks reasonable for a genacker or asymmetrical

Hi Paul, My boat is older than yours and I did exactly as you plan… -A98 at the helm -A75 at NAV station -AIS 650 - 12KW 78NM range radar SHD - Sonar. - Tridata - 3 X i70’s at helm… you can

Miles, In really light air, say less than 10 knots, I may set both poles and use only one head sail, jibbing back and forth as conditions require. The pole is just there to keep the from completely
