Hi, am just snooping around and came across a possible alternative to the VP green coolant, Products - Solve-M Solventis Marine Coolants Claims to be to exact OEM spec etc.... claims to be compatible for top up as well as complete change. Anyone heard of, looked into, or used this yet ??

Hi, just found this post again,,,, did you have any luck with your engine upon further inspection ? Thx

Brilliant, thanks for all that, ours is up fairly soon so I'll give Jonathan a call for a chat in advance......

I do use snow foams on our cars but not on the boat, personally, and each to their own but I would have reservations about the suitability of all the harsher chems in a vehicle snow foam being allowed straight into the water...

We have a Totalcool 55, got to say it is INCREDIBLE ! huge capacity, takes large bottles standing up , has a smaller comp, , 1 comp can act as a freezer, 12/24/240V, we get on board , turn it on and it's down at 5deg within 15mins. The comp doesn't run full time, only when it's needed, so...

Loving that BP ladder... But my main question is if anyone knows of a source for the mushroom head and deck plate to accept it please ??

I thnk you're in the right area. Pearl 60, D12 800's, WOT on a clean bottom she'll top out at 33knts and burning about 180 lph per engine, can't remember the exact cruising number so will try and find photos of helm with the burn rate showing......

Thanks, that's good to hear, Yes, correct it is only via Timage but I do have access to them via a trade account.

Interesting thread as we're in the full external retrim stage, cockpit, fly inc helm plus bow sunbathing cushions. Found a few people to do the work with varying lead times, but will now speak to MJM from above too. Currently I'm looking at using Italvipla Dream vinyl material in light grey...

Good luck and hope it's not too bad news as you discover what's happened. And yes please do update as you find out, we've got D12's so am alway interested...Did a complete cooling systems overhaul on ours over this winter and temps are now the best they've been since we got the boat. Good luck.

I use this link for a quick weather conditions check at Prawle, probably the same info as posted above just a different link. Weather – NCI Prawle Point

Yep, basically I agree with the above. Start point is well marked and recorded. Plus, from my own experience I really give it both a lot of respect and distance, it can very easily be very uncomfortable in anything but lovely conditions, in my view it is highly. highly underrated for it's...

From my understanding you can't actually pre-book. It's always 1st come- 1st served. But they are always nothng but helpful and will def accomodate you as best as possible when you arrrive. It's our fav place to visit, love it.

Good to see this in use, I am very tempted to fit this system too.

If you don't get any joy , or don't fancy, Torquay, but do want to be in Torbay, we've been at Brixham for 3 years now so can pm with everything about there if required. Not "Torquay" specific but we love being in Torbay , after 6 years in Lymington. Nothing wrong with LYH, we loved it there...
