Thanks, James, You may have seen my exchange with Bill. I think I may be getting somewhere. We've always had a great experience with our Autoprop which is spinning freely. I have been amazed that

Bill, Thanks. That's really useful. I find that in neutral it is now idling at 800 revs, which seems high; more importantly, it revs above 3,000--and that's without the throttle flat

Ian, Mechanical diesel injection pumps are actually all governor controlled. The throttle is actually controlling the setting of the speed governor, (sometimes called a "speed regulator") which in

Ian and Judy, Sorry, I don’t have the same engine but hopefully someone else will answer that question for you. In general, if your engine is reaching your normal full throttle loaded rpm in

Daniel, Thanks for your reply. So A = Positive and B = Negative. It can't hurt anything, if it doesn't work then I'll just reverse them. I was thinking in terms of feeding the S3g Autopilot Computer

Hi James, ( or anyone else ) If you are on board and have the same 75hp Volvo as I have, can you put on full revs in neutral and let me know what revs you reach ? Thanks, Ian and Judy, Pen Azen,

On the way to Bonaire, the combo steaming/deck light decidednot to play anymore and self destructed. Looking at the forum, it appears therewere a couple of models used by Amel. I have the original

James, Thanks. The mystery continues, but we have a mechanic recommended here so we will see what he has to say about it. Incidentally, there is a Volvo customer help line to which you can email an

Before I get the grinder out, I am going to get an impact driver to see if I can take 4-5 bolts out and "bend" the track during removal. I shall keep you posted. I ordered the parts from Antal in

Thanks for the info Pat. I do know there were 2 lengths of jib cars, but also don’t know when Amel switched to the slightly longer ones. I suspect it was after both of our boats were built. I had no

Steve, I got this from Gary it is , G30-40A PVC inserts 160mm long $12 each . My boat is a little younger than yours , I assumed my cars are the same as Gary's although I ordered without confirming

Thanks for this Graham and great to talk earlier Looks like I’ll be dismantling the rack and pinion and trying to lube the troublesome cable I’ve also sent an email to Amel on the very slim

Duane I connected the yellow wire of my Zeus 2 to the + of my S2G. And the blue wire of my Z2 to the - of the S2G. Best - Daniel, SN64

I plan to connect the NMEA TX wires from my B&G Zeus 3 MFD to the Raymarine S3g Course Computer. It's a bit confusing though, since B&G outputs to TX_A and TX_B and Raymarine has NMEA0183 connections

Hi Miles, I stripped down your steering when in Lanzarote. The rack is perfect and the problem is that one of the cables is stiff. I left you a message on your mobile earlier if you would like more

Hi Pat, I''m about to tackle the same job on my jib cars, and wondered if you had the part numbers of the bearings you purchased from Euro Marine. Thanks, Steve D. Aloha SM 72

Ian, The diesel engine governors that I am familiar with mechanically limit the engine RPM to a preset level by reducing the throttle setting. If you are getting full revs. in neutral but not under

Bill, Do you have the 78hp Volvo with a governor ? Can you tell me how the governor works--and what might upset it ? Ian

Hi Nick, That's very interesting, and I shall follow it up--but I don't think my Volvo has a sensor like yours---it's 18 years old and no computer has been near it in that time ! In neutral the
