the insulation on the warm air outlet to the cabin needs replacing and I forgot to measure the diameter of the duct pipe whilst on the boat yesterday

I think it is 60mm


can anyone please confirm

thanks

Hi filban
I've got an Airtronic D4 and the pipe is 75mm (measured just now, and confirmed in the manual). FYI, manual says Outlet hood sizes are - D2: 60/75mm; D4: 75/90mm so if you think yours is 60mm then that points to a D2.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

I think the insulation comes in tubular form which would mean disconnecting an end of the ducting in order to feed the tube over it. You might find it easier to buy a roll of insulating material from, for example, your local plumbers merchant, and simply wrap the insulation around the ducting. It’s what I did, and the difference in warmth within the cabins that it made was quite amazing. Also conversely it meant that much less heat was being wasted from losses within the lazarette and the under bunk areas and other spaces that the ducting passed through that didn’t need to be heated.
