If that is your concern use gasoline instead.

Regarding unscrewing the base plate. I think the winch had never been cleaned in 20 years so I just tried once with regular tools and, as they didn't want to come out, I went for Plan B, but now they sound much better than before.

I though this approach as well but injecting diesel/white spirit inside gear stack but not being able to dry it out did not feel like good idea. If some of diesel/spirit stays inside the stack then oil won't stick and lubricate as is should.

Was your winch also glued to deck adhesive sealant or was in-place maintenance chosen just to avoid trouble of screwing out base plate?

It's probably cheaper to get a VP mechanic to check it for you.

Worth checking the valve clearances first though.

Bavaria Yacht Help! / Volvo D1 30f compression test
« Last post by GeoffV on April 10 2024, 16:24 »
My engine loses engine revs slowly after startup. So if I put in gear and apply throttle the revs will drop slowly down to a steady 1250 and hold there.

Have bled engine at the fuel pump etc etc. But on cracking the fuel supply pipes one by one I find the middle cylinder does not drop any revs like the others even though fuel is spraying out!

So I thought I would check the compression first before thinking about the injector.

So where do I get the kit for this, and also the correct method to carry out the test.
Thanks in advance for any info
Geoff

I have a different brand of winch but the same problem, so my solution is to clean the gears where they are.

Use a syringe to inject a lot of diesel a toothbrush and a lot o paper towels and they will end up as clean as if you had taken them out

Hi - here's my alternator wiring. Hope it can help. It's a Valeo W7736 - probably not the original VP.

Yup, looks like someone gooped in a bunch of adhesive sealant. Grab a putty knife (or oscillating multitool) and shove it under the base to separate them.

There's absolutely no need for this and in fact it's probably bad because the winch bases have drain channels which are now almost certainly closed and no longer functional, leading to water pooling in the base. Bit of waterproof grease is all it needs.

 I concur with Symphony2..........
Below is an extract from a post we made a while back regarding Beta Marine and the excellent service they provided


"When we replaced the old VP 30hp, we mated it onto the existing 120 type saildrive, partly because when we commissioned a pre-purchase survey, the surveyor noted that the 120 was much younger than the engine....
As the old engine was low hour, and had simply succumbed to the corrosion that the raw water cooling system had inflicted.. We decided to keep the saildrive..
We shipped the saildrive to BETA for inspection and for them to mate the new engine to the saildrive in the factory..
This they did to ensure a proper fit, then test run the complete unit, separated them and shipped the new B30 and 120 back to us for installation..
They even sprayed the gearbox the same red colour as the engine....
This was done at minimal expense.......Great service from BETA MARINE.".

OK So worth doing the test runs and checking the size of the propeller. If you do progress the re-engine route then suggest you consider the Beta 25 betamarine.co.uk/portfolio/beta-25/ which would be a much better match for the boat. Beta can supply with an adaptor plate to go onto the 130 drive and feet to fit the Volvo front mounting points.
