Precisely what I meant. The only real reason for not using one of those macerator pumps also for the bilge is that the Rule thing is cheaper. So,...
Whenever you find sea water in the bilge, do you also find some in the fish box? With that arrangement, if sea water runs back into the bilge but...
All well and good, but that's something different from having an u/w discharge - as often happens for the genset for instance, for noise reasons...
A discharge under the w/line for a bilge pump is a silly installation, which I wouldn't expect from any respectable builder. Did you ever see that...
Like DM (aside from having less cameras!), I also have chaps in the marina and in the village where the boat is berthed, who can come onboard. So...
Positively +1 on that!
CM mentioned salt water, so at least those two can be ruled out... As well as beer! :) Anyhow, I think his idea of keeping an eye on the boat...
Wow, and I thought to have gone OTT with three in my boat! You must need some crew just to watch them all...? :)
I also don't like non-return valves anywhere along the discharge lines of bilge pumps. They are OK for fresh (=clean) pressurized water circuit,...
Gotcha, thanks.
All considered, maybe you are indeed overthinking it, but considering that those puppies are worth enough money to buy a nice boat, I'd rather...
Pascal, what's the orange bowl (sort of) behind the turbo, near the right hand of the chap in foreground? Just curious.
No EGT probe+gauge on the OP engines. Unless retrofitted, which is a possibility I toyed with also for my boat, because it's sufficient to remove...
Well, better into your engines rather than mine, anyway! :confused: @Pascal: couldn't you connect the pumps to the g/box PTOs instead? Or are...
Yeah, Reggie tried just about all tricks he dreamed of, including the use of l/h prop on single engine boats, as you can see in this video of my...
Yup, typo aside, I didn't expect a boat like yours to have inward spinning props. When I said that the other way round can be found on some very...
I would think that with a defective solenoid you should be able to trim the drive only up or only down, but if it works well both ways and the...
Well, if you neither touched the pump relais nor the solenoids, I can't imagine how they could be the culprit, assuming that everything worked...
You mean that the Arneson drives are going down rather than up when you trim up and viceversa, I suppose? If by operating the trim you would...
Typo, sorry. Now corrected in the original post. Inward rotating props are pretty popular on very fast boats, anyway. PS: what would have that...
