    Hi folks,
    I recently bought a late 2000 Princess 50 and looking for some replacement parts. What are the options for purchasing the replacement parts like exhaust temp sensor and pump for changing steering fluid etc. The US princess store is refusing to sell anything with foreign Hull ID. Ridiculous!!

    Exhaust temp sensor for a MAN engine, Call a MAN shop.
    Steering fluid change?? Gravity is a good friend.
    Am I missing something else here?

    It's Volvo D11s and it's not Volvo part. I hired Volvo techs and they said it's a Princess part (sensor).
    My house mechanic said that there is a small manual pump that's needed to bleed the steering after he changes the fluid.
    I am still pretty new to these yachts so lot's of learning curve ahead for now.

    I keep re-reading this;
    Your boat has a foreign flag?


    And you tried

    Princess Yachts America Customer Service Center
    2100 Avenue B
    Riviera Beach, FL 33404
    Phone: (561)848-5011

    Or any HMY sales group?

    I don't see the need for a special pump. Any lil fuel pump can work.

    The exhaust exhaust temp sensor. If it is what I think it is, Look at a good one, any part numbers or specs may be stamped on them to WWW search with.
    2 wire temp switches are common in SeaRays and Hatts. Just need to determine if normal closed or open and what temp you want it to react at?
    Viking may sell you these.

    Thank you Capt. Ralph. I am told that Viking America is refusing to sell to any Hull numbers that are not specifically Viking brand. It's very sad and disappointing. I will search for the part number in google and check for any alternates. The part number for the exhaust temp sensor is VSC57079B607.

    Call Princess of N. America in the phone number listed, they are not affiliated with Viking.

    Jim,
    See the picture, the sensor is on the exhaust pipe and very easy to locate.
    What happened to ordering from US part store? You will save duty and international shipping charges. The manufacturer is the ABS Halyard Dealer in UK. You can get the sensors from them if you can't get them from the US store.
    Thanks,
    Nick
