Re: Evaporator plate accumulates los of ice regularly

Re: Bavaria 42 Fuel Gauge and Sender

On my BAV44 I can test the sender by using a multimeter. The sender is a 180 Ohms unit. If you can use a multimeter and read across the two terminals on top of the tank you’ll soon know if the sender...

Re: Bavaria 42 Fuel Gauge and Sender

Re: Ideas to stop corrosion in aluminum heat exchanger?

A cheaper solution to replacing the aluminium housing, is to have it welded and machined. Had mine done twice now. Spare parts pricing on Volvo’s is horrible. Welding is cheap.

Re: Any tips for reducing frost/ice build up on cold plates ?

Couple of things worked for me.
A) as above, stop moisture getting in.
B) add a small PC style fan. 50mm 12v works wonders. Fridge temp evens out. Fridge uses less power too.
C) put a drain in the...

Re: big beds on mono hulls

Bavaria 44 3 cabin boats have very large forward owners cabins. The bed is a diamond shape. We use king sized sheets and have our pillows at the bow. Lots of room.

Re: The 2021 Joke Thread

Hey Gord. Just for the record, I love your humour.

Keep ‘em coming.
