Thanks Andy. Iam gonna try but I dont see how to seal the pipes to handle with the pressure input. Maybe I wait for the turbo inspection as I dont see any coolant signes looking to the manifold inside. Many thanks J

Many thanks guys. Turbo is already in Bosh Service to tests. Waiting news in two or tree days. ?

Hi all. Iam a new TAMD 63 P (x2) owner - Cranchi 41 Med. I bought the boat and transport it from Valencia to Lisbon (Portugal). About 600 NM with no smoke at all. Iam very satisfied as I previously own a pair of TAMD 61 that are very smoky. Arriving Lisbon I do my first service with a local...

I David, Very interesting theory. If works in trucks why not in our boats. I gonna wait for Laterstart or VolvoPaul views. Best regards JS

Hi all. Many thanks for advices and pictures. Now, I better understand the underwater system seeing this Azimut picture. Its more complex than I was thinking. Adey, I are you? Thats not a big problem - pherhaps I make it apear larger than he is but is not pleasant if you consider that in the...

Hi Divemaster1, many thanks for your reply. I read about and d`like to see an underwater exhaust system with outlets above water. I`m gonna seek in the internet. The engines are in perfect condition but the smoke is a little bit unpleasant. I know is a factory fault but I like to improve for...

Hi all, As all we know the Volvos TAMD*s 61 series are very smokys. This is a problem in my new marina berth with a lot of neighbors living in their boats and when I sailing in low revs with motors only engaged and want to put some guest in rear deck. Ownering an Azimut 37 from 1992 with "out...

Hi all, After some changes and one week in works, I share with you my Azimut 37 upgrade: bow thrust fitting. BOW THRUSTH VETUS BOW6012D, 60 KGF, 4HP (less Current consumption (A) 280 and more Continuous operating time (min) 5 than a 75 KGF) PROPPELER 6 BLADES SET0088 TUNNEL FIBRA 185 X 1500...

Hi Adey, Idle speed problem solved? I had the same problem after change diesel pre-filters because still some air in the system. We had to bled pump for a second time and the idle speed became to 600rpm.

Hi Rafiki, I willl put some photos before and after works. Vetus workers told me to use 95mm2 battery cables - 10 metres between bow thruster location and motors or service batterys. best regards and thanks again Joao Santos

Many thanks Rafiki. I also choose a Vetus 75 Kgf. However I think the AZ 39 is a little diferente of my AZ 37.9. In a first moment I think the same position like yours - under the foot of the master cabin bed with good acess behind an hatch in the floor but our forum "mate" Adey (also Az 37.9...

Hi mates. Advices needed again, please. As I still my AZ 37.9 I^m now considering fit a bow thruster. Boat Lenght: 12 m; planning boat. Until now I consider the Vetus 75 Kgf with 2 x 125 amp batterys. Any advice - 75 kgf is enought?? Azimut 37.9 owners: can you tell me where to fit the...

Many thanks to everybody. I have it in a local dealer but I think Portugal is not a good choice to sell it - Spain and Italy too. Value is like our countrys; are "fu.....". Maybe is also a problem with boats condition but mine is well mantained until now. I*m gonna try in a international...

Hi all. Anyone knows the best sites to sell my boat? Please let me know - After a total refitting I`m considering back to sail boats - diesel cost in Portugal are prohibitive. best regards Joao Santos
