Two questions

Germain Jean-Pierre
Hello Gang,
Our Eleuthera is powered by a Volvo TMD22. Our rotary start switch on the optional Engine start panel is not functioning correctly. Anybody know where I can procure a replacement? Second question: the seals on the overhead hatches are beginning to leak. Is there a source for this seal? Kind regards, Jean-Pierre Germain, SY Eleuthera, SM007, Opua NZ |

chandleries. I did ours while in Martinique. The square rubber fits best. It is sold by the foot or meter from a big spool. With best regards, Mark Skipper Sailing Vessel - Cream Puff - SM2K - #275 Currently cruising - Tahiti, French Polynesia www.creampuff.us -----Original Message-----

Thanks. I’ll pass by the local chandlery tomorrow. Cheers Jean-Pierre Germain On 31/05/2020, at 2:57 PM, Mark Erdos <mcerdos@...> wrote: |

Marinepartseurope has several starter switches listed, I just wouldn't know which one is for your setup. I did put in a new panel in Martinique (there's a Volvo store there) and I'll guess they could procure the switch as well.
As far as hatch foam is concerned, the replacement I used was actually trapezoidal a bit. I want to say 12mm on the glass side and 10mm where is contacts the ridge of the hatch. I too, found it in a roll at a chandlery, but it was about the 12th chandler I'd searched :) I recently acquired a freezer gasket on Amazon (searched for 'old style refrigerator gasket) and I'm not sure you couldn't order the foam there as well. We're on anchor at the moment so I don't have much signal and can't really research. I know there's a company that supplies Goiot hatch parts; they've probably got the gasket material but at a premium.price. (anyway, that's where I learned the measurements from:) ) Gary W SM 209, Adagio Cape Lookout, NC .. (hangin' on in 30kts). |
