Hi Ian. There is access via a small cover. You will need a ring spanner with tape to catch the nut from underneath the floor. This is on a sm251 Regards Michael

Could someone please tell me the external diameter of the copper fuel line. It will obviously be the same as the ID of the fuel hoses. I just can't remember it. Many thanks -- Mark & Nicky Barter S/V

Hi All, Some time back I wrote that the base of one of our WCs ( Jabsco 37255 )was starting to crack. Unfortunately, the replacement base ( Part no.37004-1000 ) has its anchoring holes in different

Hi all, Our bow thruster was gently losing oil. Though we rarely use it, as we like to anchor everywhere, it is 20 years old and I suspect that there is a shallow groove where the seal sits on the

Our Calpeda died and we replaced it with the March AC-5C-MD, after assessing the flow requirements. good thing is that now we don't have the Amel bonding connection connected to the AC ground anymore,

Hello Mike and Jose, The PO was wrong. My MDKAL starts immediately without any preheat. Find a Kubota dealer who has a roving mechanic... Good luck Jean-Pierre Germain, Eleuthera, SM007, NZ

I replace the Caleda pump about 5 years ago based on a recommendationby Coastal Climate Control (the US Climma distributor). This is the pump Ihave:

Once again, this group is awesome, and I appreciate the quick info. I will check it tomorrow and see how the fuel looks. So I only have 1 spin on filter on the engine then. So this begs the question

Mike, Is it possible that you are talking about the Onan Governor, Actuator (new part #306−5006−01 old#151-0779-01), which increases rpm under load and shuts off when you press stop? If you are,

When you are doing your calculations, don't forget the ACs are in series. This requires up to 50% more flow. Calpeda no longer offers a BCM20/E, they currently offer a Calpeda BCM22/1/A-R and it is

Hi Nick, The original pump in our boat was an Calpeda pump (M67270U). That one was leaking badly so I replaced it with a M67270J:

My pumps March LC 3CP MD and LC 2CP MD are gone down this summer on my SM. I will replace them with a SEAFLO 220 VOLT Marine Air Conditioning Pump 500GPH and 250GPH. The price is 1/4 from March

Sorry Arno, You mentioned that you have a Calpeda pump.. Do you know which model it is? Kind regards Nick
