Re: Shore Power

I would check all possible consumptions since you may have failed fuses/switched (and the voltmeter maybe).

Btw if you change to shore power 1 through the rotary switch, everything works ok?

Re: 33sf Split air conditioning system

And one more tip. I chose to install the new unit under the v berth for two reasons. First I can. I can now use the old space for tools etc. secondly and most importantly, the all in one units release water from the evaporator. My unit has a base like a pan that collects the water. So now since the ...

Re: 33sf Split air conditioning system

Hi The split systems do not have air hose from the main unit to the evaporators/blowers. The new unit will have one air output and from there you will need to run air hoses. So considering that you need two main air hoses it would better to buy a unit with two outputs. On my side I bought with one. ...

Re: Shore Power

Hi
Maybe a not very smart question, apart from the voltage gauge that shows zero, you have verified that indeed e.g. the sockets do not have current right?

Re: 33sf Split air conditioning system

Hi, i made this change recently with a similar unit. even if I'm happy with the change, there a few things i would change. The initial system has one "blower" per area, e.g. one in the cabin and one in the saloon. The new system, the one I placed and the one suggested below, has one only e...

Re: Shore Power

Hi

Just below the inlet of the shore power socket, there is a fuse/switch.
Did you check it? It may be simply turned off or it should be replaced.

Re: Happy Holiday

Happy New Year to all of you and your beloved ones!

I don't know if I still belong to the "young" ones (most likely not), but I retain my love to the boats of that era, and certainly i prefer the forums compared to the most modern means.

Greetings from Greece!

Re: Shower Drain

Hi I’m not sure exactly which one you are looking for, but from what I’ve seen: - the drain in the bathroom, you can reach it if you go from the compartment in which the water tank is. - the hoses from the drain to the shower box are reachable from the compartment outside the bathroom - the hoses th...

Re: Maxwell windlass

Hi and apologies for my late feedback. I ended up ordering a new Maxwell, equivalent model having the exact same footprint. So installation is simple. the only point that i will put some attention, is to make an insulation between the aluminium deck area that the windlass sits on and the windlass it...

New A/C

Hello everyone, I'm in the process of reverting all 110V currents to 220V, since I'm locating to Greece. The boat is a 33BFC. So far, the devices requiring 110V are the following: - Oven: it will be replaced with one more fridge - Chargers: work with both 110V and 220V - Heater: it will be replaced ...

Maxwell windlass

Hello all, I bought recently a 33 bcf, having the Maxwell Freedom 800. The windlass was not working, completely stuck, and therefore after attempting to deassembly, I remove it by cutting the upper part. In parallel, I ordered the Lofrans X2, since previous experience with it was great. Unfortunatel...

Re: Windlass Install with Pulpit

Hi Gerard, thanks for the prompt feedback. Still, I believe this concern is independent to the pulpit, unless the pulpit ends in between the desired position, leading the windlass to be half on the pulpit and half out of it. In this case, I would suggest to glue an additional peace of something (cou...

Re: Windlass Install with Pulpit

Hello all,

I'm about to install a new windlass on top of the pulpit.
Would it possible to elaborate on the concerns you have of such installation?
I understand that the pulpit just adds additional thickness between the top and the bottom parts of the windlass. Do I miss something?

thanks in advance!
