Re: Interior

The spring in the door lock for my toiletdoor just broke. Replacement lock seems to be hard to find.
Anyone who have any advise?

Mahe 36: Propellers

Re: Propellers

Hi

My Mahe with D1-30/130 was initially delivered with 17x12 3-blade folding Volvo propellers. I found them a bit to small, as the engines would go 3100, and should stop at 2800. So I switched...

Re: Engines

The Volvo D1's have no internal engine zink, only on the propeller and drive.

The drive and the engine are electrically separated, and I've been told you should be able measure at least 600 ohms...

Re: Hull

Correct. You would ruin the front wall of the shower.
I think you need to do some measuring, to see if it is possible to get in between the lower sides of the showercompartment and the hull, (were...

Hi Ric.

All well in my cellar :)
The engines and props are working well, after two seasons and around 150 hours of operation. As mentioned earlier, there is one drawback: the level of...

Re: Sail Drives and Props

Be careful with these calculators. :eek:
Did it calculate based on a catamaran, or a monohull?

In my case, I found that FP most lightly use Volvo's monohull calculator to find propellers, as...

Re: Sail Drives and Props

I would definitely follow your own advise: Go for the 18" 2-blade. I would have done so myself, if I didn't already have the 3-blade hubs. The 50% extra for the 3-blade (is it really that much?) is...

Re: Sail Drives and Props

According to Volvo, the D1-30 should be propped to reach a max RPM between 2800 and 3200. The 3250-3300 reached with the props installed by FP are too high, and I think the 2950 I now get with the...

Just ********, sorry. The seawater pump do of course hold against the pressure, so flushing the leg through the new valve is just as easy as flushing the engine.

Re: Sail Drives and Props

But I would use a 3-way T-valve on top of the original seacock.
Then you would have 3 positions:

1) -open from leg to engine- normal operation.
2) -open from leg to...
