Hi Paul, I have had the D2-75 for 4 years. 850 hours. All good. More torque than the TMD22. so not sensitive to fouling on the prop Noticeably lighter Stern rides higher. Happy with it. After a year

Thanks Bill. Having a strong Physics/Calculus background plus being a pilot and then a process control designer when I was still young and smart made it easy for me to understand these things. I did

Hi Paul. I had a look at the manual of the ACU 400 and you are right in that they have dumbed down the controls a bit to make it easier for the end user. The Response level seems straightforward

Brent, I hereby nominate you to write the next generation of manuals for Navico (B&G/Simrad/Lawerence) Your explanation of the settings and adjustment on an autopilot is about 3 orders of magnitude

Ian, you know more than I on this but I don't think it is the engine, but the Amel "C" drive, etc that can take a beating......Chime in Kent! I'm here at the Amel Center in Le Marin, Martinique after

Thank you Brent The New unit does not have many settings one can do, Respons level: Performance, Cruising or Leisure. Rudder Damping And vessel typ I have tried to figure out how to set them but

Bill, Good point. One less thing to worry about. Ian

Thanks for those comments. I will put that into my decision-making. Paul C. SM238 "Maracuya" Martinique

My dishwasher also has a continuous dribble from the inlet valve, presumably due to a defective solenoid valve. We have to turn the water valve on to wash and turn it off at the end of the cycle to

Paul, it sounds like your autopilot gain and response settings are off. I’m not familiar with your exact unit but most autopilots have settings for Wind Trim, Rudder Gain, Counter Rudder and

That’s a great pearl of wisdom, Olivier! Merci beaucoup!! Kent S/V Kristy SM 243

Thank you Bill I have to look into that solution I do not know how often I will use the old unit so have to judge the cost and effort for the need/usefulness. Paul on SY Kerpa

Hello JP, I can'y say I'm very happy with my new ACU 400 unit, it works well going up wind but as soon the waves are behind of the beam, it over steer all the time, and I have sometimes to take over

Hi Barry, I just cut the sealant with a utility knife from the top and pried it out with a screwdriver, cutting remaining sealant from the bottom as it came up. There’s a great product made by 3M

I just got a replacement 3 valve solenoid for our Eumania washing machine as well. 2 out of the three solenoids leaked, filling the tub with water .. Coincidentally, the manual shutoff valve had a

Hello Derick, the main cause (which I often see) for the macerator motor to get contaminated with water (and therefore create a contact between 24V and the ground) is that the white plastic casing is

Ian, Maybe you "glossed over" the timing belt advantage. Without the timing belt, there is no timing belt change required. Best, Bill Rouse 720 Winnie St. Galveston, Texas 77550 832-380-4970 My

T In the circumstance you describe, the light indicates that there is a connection (resistance) between either the positive or negative and the case of the macerator pump. That "connection" is usually

Hi Paul, We have about 30 hours on our D2-75. Its a good fit. The guy who installed it originally worked with the Brit who designed the TMD22 so he knows both engines well. The TMD was designed for

I think it looks great Steve. Fortunately I’ve only had to replace the o-rings thus far. -- Aras Grinius SV FIASCO Sharki #163
