Gary, You deserve all credit. I wasn't in favour of this at all, but after taking most of the day to understand how to access the site because I kept trying "networks" as opposed to net - some people

JP, I first cleaned my 100HP Yanmar at 2000 hours with Barnacle Buster, at 2500 hours I had it and the Onan cleaned again by "professionals" that led on to the transmission heat exchanger failing on t

Joe, The bulb is 25 Watt bayonet fitting, you need a fine Phillips screwdriver for the cover. The most likely reason it has gone out is a halyard slapping close to the fitting. If you are worried and

That would be by understanding as well Danny. The suggestion from Jamie's latest technician is that there may be water inside the engine via the exhaust due to low engine compression not pushing out t

Hi Jamie, Thank you for the reply. I am still unclear if the syphon break is brass or plastic, I am assuming plastic. If not then it is a potential source of raw water back flow. My understanding of c

Jamie, I am fairly sure that Amel swap out the older narrow type Volvo brass syphon and replace it with a Vetus 3/4" plastic one, because, on the original one, over time it is possible for salt crysta

I have been reading with increasing concern the direction the above thread has been taking. I know nothing about computers or software, but like all members I know something about money. It is divisiv

The original was available six months ago from CONTACT AT KARINTEAM DOT COM at about one third of the price Amel wanted. If emailing address it to Severine. Trevor Lusty Seafever of cuan Mexico SM425

Ric, The thruster motor will come out through the cabin but your problems as always will be breaking it from the shaft. If you can get it free from the shaft then it is easy enough - except it weighs

Jamie, is there syphon break fitted to that Volvo and if so how is it plumbed? Trevor Seafever Mexico SM425

Bill, I had exactly the same problem with a brand new AB. The leak was under the patch on top of the tube that has the strip to hold the blade of the paddle port side. Separately from the above, I hav

Bill, From the many postings over the years, it seems that I was very lucky and a small bearing puller did it relatively easily ( there was some hammering). Somewhere in the archives, you will find a

Before Jamie commits himself to spending another fortune changing his engine, could we marshall the collective brains and wisdom on this forum to figure out if he is going the right way. Most SM owner

Ben, everything you describe points to a dirty prop and hull. Heavy marine growth particularly on the prop can virtually stop engine. Does it rev freely when in neutral? The correct running temp. is 8

Jamie, If you would like a critique of my ten day experience with The World Arc send me a private email to trevorlusty at hotmail dot com. Regards, Trevor

Sorry Duane, I only sent you half of the message. Press start and auto together and you should see "wind" appear on the display. The autopilot did not come with this as standard, but you can easily re

Duane, Do you know if you have the wind steering option on Wanderer? Trevor Seafever SM425 Mexico

Jamie, I really appreciate you taking the time to write such a comprehensive reply. Thank you. Will keep my fingers crossed that it all goes well. Good luck. Trevor

Jamie, That is just about the worst result possible. You have enough expense in front of you, before you start to re-engineer Amel re. the exhaust etc. could you ask your technician to asses just how
