We installed a Marco 12E. All functions of the system are integrated into the pump itself. Well built! Jean-Pierre Germain, SY Eleuthera, SM 007, Opua, NZ

I corrosion X and slightly change the cutoffs?? What does it mean practically. What needs to be done? Regards Arthur

Re: GIANNESCHI. Freshwaterpump will not stop pumping?
You can buy a new Sware D Pressure switch almost anywhere in the world, but adjusting it can be a challenge. Google for instructions to adjust...there may be a few good videos. That said, the problem can likely be solved by disassembling the pressure switch and cleaning debris that will be on the pressure diaphragm. See the photo. It took me at least a dozen cotton swabs.

Arthur we have the same occurrences. I corrosion X and slightly change the cutoffs and were good for about 6 months. But I’d like to know a long term solution!

GIANNESCHI. Freshwaterpump will not stop pumping?
Arthur Sundqvist
We have the Idromini Acb Waterpump from Gianneschi. Sometimes it will not stop, the pump continues. We have to stop it manually on the pressure switch....
I have pumped up to 2 bar and cleaned the pressure switch. When the motor or Onan generator starts vibrating the pump works well. What fault could it be. Is it time to change the pump? Renovate something? Kindest regards and FAIR WINDS Arthur Sundqvist SM435, VISTA

Eric, I won’t be aboard to tell witch model I have until 04 August. If ordering before then, then please cancel my order for 1 unit. Otherwise I’ll reply further on Wednesday. Thanks for doing this for the group,

Re: Breaker Panel Label Back Lights
Hi David,
Because of your remark I just remembered something about this. When I repopulated the PCBs with new LEDs I also replaced the resistors. When you buy this package from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/microtivity-IL142-Diffused-Blue-Resistors/dp/B0059H5Z5O/ref=sr_1_24?dchild=1&keywords=blue+led+5mm&qid=1596107237&sr=8-24 you get the LEDs with a resistor. If I remember correctly this was the actual package I bought. You will need three packages and have a lot of spares after installation. I replaced the existing resistors with the new ones. It will increase the voltage output for the regulator compared to no resistor and make it more stable. Apparently these LEDs take 20 mA each. So two in series for every switch is still 20 mA. Multiply this by the number of panel switches which I think are 34. So, 34 x 20 = 680 mA. So at 500 mA they will receive about 15 mA. I don't remember exactly but I think I was happy with this from brightness point of view. So I kept it at that as this will improve the life-span of the LEDs even more. Regards, Arno Luijten SV Luna, A54-121

Re: Fuel tank vent fitting ?
Ian Park
On my Santorin the return fuel pipe from the injectors comes off the engine and back to the tank. On top of the tank is the air vent pipe that is visible in the passage way heading out to the scuppers where there is a vent hole in the side of the hull - to stop back pressure in the filler pipe when re-fuelling.

Re: Breaker Panel Label Back Lights
David Crisp
Thanks Arno,
Excellent information and advice, makes sense to me. I have only a very moderate knowledge of electronics and was wondering why the LEDs failed in the first place and how to prevent a re-occurrence. Judging by the colouration of one PCB it looks like the resistors had at some time got pretty hot, presumably when the voltage got high.. -- David Crisp SV Wilna Grace Amel 54 #58

Re: Fuel tank vent fitting ?
Hi Tom and Kirstin,
I'm not on my boat so can't be sure, but is it the fuel return line from the injectors on each engine? That was good fortune to dodge the hurricane ! Cheers Alan Elyse SM437

Re: Rub rail purchase
Patrick McAneny
Eric, It is made from EPDM, the same material that most all exterior products of this type is made from. I am sure that your insert is made from the same material. I will receive a 6 inch sample to confirm that the insert is an exact match of the original. Craig is going down to pick up a sample piece,as he is only an hour away. Once we determine that the insert is an exact reproduction, if you need to confirm this for yourself ,I will forward my sample on to you. Let me know if you would like to be included in the group buy.
Thanks, Pat SM Shenanigans

Re: Onan Generator exhaust temperature switch - great price.
Hi Eric, Cancel my order, mine are normally open. I have a 1999 6.5KW MDKAL Onan. I guess that means if they fail to close, my engine gets hot and doesn't shut down. Both times mine failed closed and the engine would start up and immediately shut down. Once it was intermittent and difficult to diagnose. Thanks anyway, and cancel the three I ordered. If it's too late, let me know. If your guy can make the normally open ones, I'd be interested. Kent SM 243 Kristy

Re: Breaker Panel Label Back Lights
Sorry my bad. There are just too many of these things. You cannot use the constant current source I mentioned earlier.
This one should work, depending on your LEDs of choice (total current of LEDs must match the Current Source): https://www.amazon.com/LuxDrive-Wired-BuckPuck-Constant-Current/dp/B00LWU1EJS/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=LuxDrive+Wired+BuckPuck+-+500mA&qid=1596065887&sr=8-1 It may actually be the one I've use myself. I can't remember and the boat is 800 km away at the moment... Sorry for the confusion, Arno

Re: Rub rail purchase

Eric, I can’t add much to Craig’s reply, Craig and I will both trail fit a sample on our boats,to confirm the fit. The die is being made directly from a cross section that we cut from our rub rail insert.If you or any owner would like to join the group buy, please contact me so that I can add you to the list. I expect to place the order in roughly ten days. Thanks,

Fuel tank vent fitting ?
Thomas Kleman
On SM2K 422 there is a outlet fitting and hose at the top aft of the fuel tank. It runs down the scupper to a "T" next to the genset muffler. One leg runs back under the Yanmar and I can't see where it goes. Is this an overfill/expansion feature and if so where does it terminate ? I assume I get fuel in my bilge if this ever happens......and where does the other leg go (sort of disappears under genset).
