Thanks do much for this - thermal fuses on order now and hopeful..

I have 2 of these Prestolite on order from my Gillingham motor factors Superior quality vehicle components in Rochester, they are marine ones. Prestolite Electric & Leece-Neville Alternators – Industry-Best Output is a 70amp one £100+UK vat 20pc. Will use existing pullies I think. When I get a...

Thanks all . There is no room to get an impact tool in. I took the advice of taking the bracket off the engine and was surprised that those bracket bolts came out easily, as they are threaded only low down the threads so not exposed to moisture as much. I was able to rotate the whole assembly...

I have the same boat and engines .Do you have EDC 1 engines ? If so you can get a Yacht Devices 'Engine Gateway' to read Volvo codes and pass onto an N2K network and so get an electronic 'dashboard' on a MFD, for example a Raymarine Axiom 9 as I have done. Only just done this so no real figures...

No luck with freezer spray from Wurth tools. Am going to try and take it off the engine complete with bracket and adjustment bar. Although the middle section of the long bolt also passes through a part of the engine casing before emerging to the 'nut' end . I am hoping I can drift this as a...

Thanks for all suggestions I am going to try this Wurth freezer too : Rost-Off Blue Ice Rust Remover | WÜRTH

Yes self-repowering I had an early Vulcan7 and it rebooted a lot, not very full memory . It needed to be in warranty ( I was not) if I wanted a 'fix" it would have been just a swap out unit- I don't think they repair them. Went to Raymarine Axiom 9 and a lot better but not immune to the odd...

Folks, I have twin VP KAMD300 and because the alternators sit under the raw water pump they have occasionally been wet when impellers changed. This has caused corrosion on the bolt heads. I wanted to loosen all the mounting bolts to aid adjustment of the alternator belts but found them stuck...

Thanks have done and several makes, but Bosch I guess is the best quality ? It looks easy to change - does anyone have a schematic or photo where it is located on the engine please ? Thank you

OK thanks will bear in mind and filed. By the way the pumps do throw water out by design ( via the 'slinger washer') from the casing holes when the washers with the spring inside fail due to the springs rusting and breaking their strength to squeeze around the pump shaft. These are a regular...

Hi , re the " the RPM sensors at the same time. Buy Bosch ones from eBay for £40 a pop" do you have a link to these please? For a KAMD300.

Do you have the part number & supplier of these please?

Hi, do you have a Borg Warner part number and decent supplier for the one needed for a KAMD300 ( EDC-1) engine at all? I did hear of a car company Midland Turbo that had done a few refurbs of my club members boats . Midland Turbo - Turbocharger Repairs, Upgrades - Shop online Now!

Hi ,that's great to hear that I think you have a Vetus filter FTR330/32mm (or 38mm?) fitted and that the flow rate is sufficient , even at high speed. I bought two and they look about 2/3 the size of the Volvo ones so I returned them. I had no specs on the flow rate for the Volvo ones so had no...
