Hi Alan, what are the overall dimensions. Mine is 480 mm x 480 mm Mine has an alloy hinge, I avoided plastic hinges for security reasons. In a big seaway there will be quite a load on

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Onan raw water pump
Like Barnacle Buster, it's phosphoric acid based. Like Coca-Cola! Phosphoric acid is cheap.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Helm Seat
The seat cushion on our seat measures 420mm across, 440mm front to back.
I think you'll find that most boat seats are in that range or bigger.
They have to be that size otherwise you couldn't sit

Re: Expected RPM at WOT
Hi Porter,
No question remains in my mind that this is a problem for Volvo.
Re Nick’s observation, does the turbo spin up?
I wonder if the turbo is load controlled or just rpm controlled.

Hardest part by far is finding suitable replacement for the existing unit.
1. Start by removing handrail above the forward head: look in small hallway closet.
