Re: Spectra Cape Horn PPM

Wow!! That’s an old membrane. That’s good production (volume) for such cold water. The warm water down here boost up our salinity. I look forward to running just one pump during the day as two pumps...

Re: Spectra Cape Horn PPM

We do have fans and heat sinks installed and working. The question is more of what quality of water with the lower feed pressure are folks seeing.

Re: Velvet transmission to Walter V-drive

Well the V-drive is to small to add the 3rd gear to reverse the rotation. Looks like a new prop or changing the blades out to right hand ones are the options. The blades are about 65% the cost of a...

Re: Velvet transmission to Walter V-drive

So it looks as if the propeller was purchased with the wrong handed direction. It is a left hand spinning prop. I am wondering if my V-drive can be reversed some way? It is a Walter RV-10D. It may be...

Re: Replacing Engine Gear Control Parts On A Bavaria 38

Re: Replacing Engine Gear Control Parts On A Bavaria 38

I would also like to hear the fast way.

I have a similar set up and the engine throttle bottoms out at 1800 RPMs. New boat to me so I am not sure how you adjust the throw of the cable. I do not...
