This is not an area of expertise for me. However, I would like to either make a couple of points or ask of couple of questions, depending on my depth of knowledge.

Re: A54 hawsehole and chain guide
Oliver,
If WASI supplied that chain it is not good news as they supply either AISI304 or AISI316L chain. That is not suitable for long term anchoring as the steel needs to be exposed to the air

Re: A54 hawsehole and chain guide
Hi Thomas,
There was a reason I said cromox chain. There are many, many different qualities of SS. If you are at anchor for extended period of time some of those will suffer crevice corrosion because

Re: Dessalator Watermakers & Filmtec Membranes
Thanks Bill,
After I asked, I figured I’d man-up and search for myself. I found the exact page you posted.
I guess it’s safe to run a bit higher pressure. The WM will shut off if the pressure goes

SS chain has a lower WLL and is a bit more brittle than galvanized high test (G40)

Re: Dessalator Watermakers & Filmtec Membranes
Mat,
Not according to Dessalator who states that the green bar on their high-pressure gauge is set for between 60 - 65 BAR. And according to Filmtec the Maximum operating pressure is 69 BAR

Re: Dessalator Watermakers & Filmtec Membranes
Won’t running over 56-58 bar affect the membrane life?
Off hand do you know the pressure range specs for the membrane?
I run ours at the low end of the green, thinking I’m being

Hi Teun,
No, it’s only when we let out the full chain for whatever reason. So it’s very rare and only to minimise the chance of bungling it during business as usual. (That rarely happens anyway,

Re: A54 hawsehole and chain guide
As an aside, does anyone know who makes the Amel oem stainless chain? It has a 5 stamped on it, if that helps?

What you need is a big wallet and 100 meters of Cromox 10mm (made by Ketten Wålder, https://www.ketten-waelder.de/en/) 😂

Re: Oil Pressure Volvo D3 I - C
Actually the way it works at VP is that any significant change in the production of the eingine results in a new trailing character. Most Amels 54s have C because that is the one for wich production

Can you send some more pictures of the assembly? I'm curious to see how each piece fits together.

Problem solved:-)
The ship yard was able to take the swivel apart and to grind the plastic bearings a bit, so that they are turning now smoothly.
The start of the problem was that the previous owner

Re: Oil Pressure Volvo D3 I - C
So glad to see some good reports on the VP. Our 110-IC is still running strong at 2200 hours and has been very reliable. It’s good to see that there is a good option out there, once needed. Thanks

Re: Oil Pressure Volvo D3 I - C
Agree Teun.
The H is a different animal.
We’re at about 550 hours on our “H,” replaced early 2019.
Flawless so far (as it should be!). Quiet. Very smooth. More efficient. No smoke.
