    I’ve seen a few posts on this over the years , some say loosen off the mounts and rotate the unit to get access, I suggest search this thread for Westerbeke Impellar

    Lithium Iron Phosphate battery charging from engine alternators

    Out of interest when you say wired into generator output, do you mean you wired into an existing generator circuit Dc to dc setups apparently have a loss factor in terms of lost energy, but only purists care I think

    Fuel Filter primer pump

    Did you resolve this. On my 400 the primer to starboard is close to the crankcase breather, on port it’s near the forward bulkhead above the fuel filter . I.e searay made sure they are accessible for both engines

    Australia- CAT 3116 oil (no rotella here and brand names are different )

    thanks all, Shell Rimula is a thing. As multigrade is now acceptable and as I have a non aftercooler set of 3116s, I reckon multigrade is the way to go for me, with all its fan dangle claims about engine life extending etc. And suddenly the infamous Rotella I read so much about seems to be an...

    btw 2nd inline muffler I assume is fine for Gas but I read somewhere it's not recommended by Westerbeke for Diesel because of back pressure.

    Australia- CAT 3116 oil (no rotella here and brand names are different )

    The oil discussion CAT DEO, SAE etc has been well and truly hammered and were I in the USA I would have all the answers . Here in Australia for my 3116 the CAT oils are available and are an option I may well chose. But to compare, I wondered what other Australian (and maybe NZ ) owners are...

    Buying advice

    You’ll see marinas full of Rivieras and the like as they can go out further than your potential searay. In close to coast short trips the searay I expect will be fine. Get vhf licence and marine licence and ais and all safety gear epirb etc anyway I suggest. Make sure the range is enough for...

    I agree, the Boogaboo videos on searay hatch and window reseals I am sure i will use one day. iMHO I wouldn’t use his gel coat polish technique, and looking at the pin stripe removal video I might not try that , looks fraught .

    Thanks Bill, next time on the boat I’ll gingerly get in there and have a go, hopefully the guest cabin roof won’t give way under my 82kg

    Ideally i need to remove the trim at the bottom of the interior of the windscreen, to fix up the vinyl which is coming off. Question is, will it come out without removing anything else, it sits under the trims on the windscreen surrounds hoping i don't have to remove those

    I’m assuming if they are wired correctly so that the charge is balanced across them all it makes no difference

    I finally got to checking the almost secret notches in the cockpit during a spectacular rain storm. The good news is I now know where water has been intruding on the port side, it is indeed the notch . Starboard no water. Did annyone ever work out if the notch was indeed an overflow from the...
