    1GM10 intermittent charging alarmm

    To trythe disconnection on to or rows high tide. Last chance until next springs as I'm in a mud berth. Still have charging light on plus sounder goes after about 10 minutes running - neither oil nor water lamps come on but water flow appears to less as engine warms up. It's. Been suggested I...

    1GM10 intermittent charging alarmm

    Thermostat out and tested, works fine. Alarm bulbs for oil and water found to be hanging loose behind panel so not visible from front but working. Next step to refit thermostat and check alarm connections and then see which alarm light comes on. My utter ignorance of the system is very evident...

    Could it be a dodgy thermostat?

    No next step I think. I assume oil pressure light should come on before as soon as power turned on.

    Neither the water or oil lights are showing only the charging light. As I said, as a precaution I changed the impeller and checked the oil. However the flow from the exhaust may be a bit less than usual....

    1GM10 intermittent charging alarmm

    1GM10 charging alarm sounds shortly after starting and continues or stops after a few minutes. At few thought a slack alternator belt but retensioned, also replaced water pump impeller. No issues previous to the other day on our shake down cruise.

    Four Fathoms channel /Overland route /Pots

    We came round the outside of Sheppey yesterday and stopped counting pots at 50 throughout the shallower parts of the route. Only one with a flag and many small black floats. I think we were lucky last week when we crossed to the Swin from the Swale at night.

    ... and the Bad and the Ugly.

    Midweek best place on the Medway is MYC.You should get a pontoon berth and save £20 over the marinas. An option is Queenborough. Alternatively, if going via REd Sands , go into the East Swale and anchor or pick up a buoy at Harty Ferry.

    Yanmar IGM10 Slowing down and dying.

    I had a similar problems a few years ago. Went through all the procedures everyone mentioned. In the end it turned out to be the O-ring on the fine filter being nipped And admitting air.

    Corrosion problem 1GM10

    To revive this thread, Thanks to all who responded. I can confirm that plastic metal plus replacing the seals on the water pump resolved issue for the remainder of the season. I did have the usual corrosion issue with oil pipes and a massive leak, after replacing with hydraulic pipe (£20 ) I...
