Ok I’ll start a new thread. I saved the cable. Gonna research synthetic options would be nice to not have to worry about corrosion and cutting a...
Wire. I just replaced the winch less than a year ago so it was new cable. I could tell by looking at it though it got pinched and compromised. I’m...
Unfortunately I already cleaned it all up so not much to test with a magnet but I will if I see any more of it. I fished for 4 hours yesterday...
It definitely came out of that little window. It was very gritty, almost like it had sand or salt in it. Otherwise it was black and oily but...
I found this little pile of gritty black grease underneath the shaft of my raw water pump. There’s a little “window” in the shaft housing and it...
New alternator is on the port motor and I’m seeing 14.3V and 1000 rpm. So seems I have two healthy alternators again. Thanks for the help folks....
Will do thanks captain

Ok here are some measurements from the port side, which does not have house loads. Battery charger off. 12.66V from positive to negative...
I tried connecting the positive alternator post to the “61” exciter post with a 14 ga alligator clips jumper and it flashed, insulation caught...

Servicing the raw water system on my Volvo TAMD 74p’s, I found damage/corrosion to the sealing surface of the heat exchanger housing. This has...
Not sure exactly what you are pulling on with the last question but generally a check valve keeps a fluid from flowing “backwards” in a system. I...
My fuel tank is in the center of the cockpit bilge, between the two deck boxes. So no separate fuel tank compartments - just 3 bilge compartments:...
Yeah I’ve had many problems with them too, I didn’t realize there was an alternative. I’ll check out the ultras thanks.
Ok thanks folks. It sounds like my intuition is correct - I should unplug the tubes to allow water to flow freely between the compartments for...
