Eric, IP 55 is an international standard for water ingress. 55 means essentially very limited protection. COS is cosign for motor efficiency rating. For instance a 200 kw rated motor with a COS of

Eric; I don't know what they mean exactly either. The person to contact regarding all things related to Dessalator is Martin. He is located in France and travels throughout Europe and is the tech guy

Mohammad, I understand all lines on the plate except IP 55 and cos 0.87. Do you know what they mean? I am actually looking for how many liters per hour the pump puts out. Fair

I would also add that the mizzen boom should be perpendicular to the mast when furling. If the aft end is higher, it won't furl evenly and will get stuck. Kent SM243 Kristy

Hi Eric; We replaced the LP pump on our 150L/hr last year. We ordered it direct from Desallator In France. Here are the specs on the face plate: IP 55 0.30 KW COS 0.87 230 V 2.7 A 50 HZ CB 10 microF

Yes that is what I am looking for. Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

Does anyone know the specifications of the lift pump for a 160 lph watermaker pump? Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

We use them extensively in Sweden. Is it in US there have been problem to fill? Paul

Paul, The big hose that connects from the C drive to the hull is open to the sea. Be careful if you play with that. You would only get sea water if this is leaking. If your C drive is like the

Paul, There are very mixedreviews on the see-through propane gas cylinders. We purchased one for our BBQand had problems getting it filled. A lot of propane filling stations will notfill these

We habe to chnage our camping gaz cylinders now when in USA. I like the Viking see through cylinders in kevlar. The 17 lb should not be any problem to fit in the standard gas locker in our SM, but

Thank you We have eliminated the oil from the engine, which was my first choice of source. We do have to fill more oil on the reservoir above after ca 100 h. Will see if the allen screws are all

Mark, I agree completely. AND, the C Drive oil expands when the C Drive reaches operating temperature. Check to make sure that the cap on the oil reservoir is breathing to allow for expansion and

Hi Paul, A couple ofthoughts on this: Any oil thatleaks from the engine area will drain and accumulate on the aft side of therubber housing on the c-drive. First, I think I would use a paper

I have discovered some oil just aft of where the drive unit go throuh the hull. I.e below the flexi coupling. No oil inthe bilge so the leak must be on the after part somewhere. I find ca 50 ml after

My copper tubing at the base of the holding tank failed two years ago, both aft and forward heads within months of each other. The copper tubing was so thin at that point that I could easily peel it
