I'm not sure what you could do on the liquid side. Once the transmission oil is sucked out by the seawater flowing through the (perforated) cooler, friction quickly builds up heat in the transmission

I think it is easier to just change the tranny cooler. The one for my yanmar is distributed in the USA for less Than $200. Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

Where would the tranny temp sensor go? On the output side of the tranny heat exchanger? Kent S/V Kristy SM243

I'll chime in here with one more thought. A "low flow" alarm won't help with an over-temperature problem with the transmission. I had a situation where the tranny heat exchanger rusted out and the

Hi, Not that it is critical other than it helps for identification, the smaller gear on a shaft, engaging with a larger gear is known as a pinion. If you google the word you will see they come in a

Ok.....you win..... I believe the output device is also known as a worm wheel.....but no matter Cheers Alan

Alan, Not to get all mechanically nerdy on you, but the "worm" is the helical drive piece on the input shaft, the "worm gear" is round brass part on the output shaft you are referring to as a "spur

Nice piece of bow art. In my case, I have a 35KG ULTRA in SS of course. Not bad either! Jean-Pierre Germain SY Eleuthera, SM 007

I have a Borel for main engine, genes and water level in the engine bay. All 3 work fine!

I do not know what brand Kent used, but if you want an alarm on your boat for cooling water flow, or anything else, there is a good chance that you can find exactly what you want here:

Ian, The anchor I like is a Mantus. Similar in looks to a Rocna, in my experience the Mantus sets even faster and (when needed) on a shorter scope. If you follow the Manus recommendation for

Hi Craig, I'll have to look it up when I get back to Kristy. It has an arm that hangs down into the hose and is deflected by the flow of water. Decreased flow->no deflection ->alarm

This is an Italian Type L grounded plug/socket standard, CEI 23-16/VII, that includes two styles rated at 10 and 16 amps. The Amel ones are 10 amp. I have purchased the Btinico brand of these plugs
