Correct. They fitted a bronze raw water pump which runs forever and never needs an impeller replacement, but God only knows what they were...
I suspect that the switch is just on/off, and whoever fitted it didn't think that it would have been more logical to attach the label "Port AC...
I see. I assumed the opposite (i.e., that they are NOT the same) just because otherwise, as you pointed out, the prop slip would be unreal. But...
I didn't read your post before writing mine, but my understanding is that the SPARE props are 50", while the pitch of props currently installed on...
Wow. If the engines were man enough to spin 50' pitch props at 2300rpm with that gear ratio, she would be a speed demon. Assuming a slip in the...
Ok, but in principle the engine should withstand a very short burst of everheat, without consequences serious enough to find coolant in the oil....
Did the same happen after running 1 & 3, eventually? I mean, did the common 1+2 breaker stays on with 1+3 running, and did it trip shortly after...
Sorry to hear that. Can you remember what sort of temp the coolant reached, and possibly also oil temp if available? Besides, for how long...
+1. The opposite scenario of an engine overheat for some other reason, melting the heater as a consequence, is totally implausible. Temp gauge and...
You must be tired of writing that. :D
As I recall, high idle in that engine is set at the max rated RPM +20, not +100. I can't swear to be correct, but I am sure you can now see the...
I'm struggling a bit with your reasoning. I mean, I can't rule out some engine problem obviously, but in principle if the engines reach the rated...
Guilty as charged, your Honor! :)
If the photos are anything to go by, you can say that again! The model above the galley is lovely, by the way.
Which part of "you could replace the 40A breakers with 30A ones" in my post #2 was confusing enough to understand the opposite? o_O
Yup, that's another possibility, also because usually compressors vibrate a bit, particularly while cycling on/off. I'd be surprised if Pascal...
Why? The rated absorption is 23A each, and Pascal said that usually they are actually pulling 42A combined, which means 21A each on average. How...
Mmm... A puzzling situation indeed. No other ideas at the moment, I'm afraid. But I'll follow this thread with interest, because I'm curious to...
Ideally, it would be nice to have two clamp on meters, and leave one on them on each line (#1 and #2), checking the respective peaks the next time...
Considering your engines preference, your need for three cabins and your beam restrictions, you'd better check out the Ferretti 500. You might be...
