Bavaria Yacht Help! / Re: Warped cockpit locker lid
« Last post by Yngmar on Yesterday at 15:44 »
Looks like it's cracked where the latch is? Did you take the lid off, check if there's a matching crack on the back?

If so, you can fix it by bending it back in shape and then laminating two battens to the inside while it's held in shape. And then fixing the flange it rests on so it is supported properly, which is probably why it cracked/bent to begin with.

Fair bit of work though.

Bavaria Yacht Help! / Warped cockpit locker lid
« Last post by Adam Turner on Yesterday at 13:46 »
Hi all,

Attaching a pic of my cockpit locker lid (2010 32 Cruiser), which is warped.

It's been like this since I bought the boat and the locker lid is watertight.

Seen several same-model boats in my marina without this problem.

I can live with it, but for resale it would be nice to fix it.

I wonder if anyone knows whether there's a way to unwarp it? Preferably without ruining the teak.

Thanks in advance.

Adam

I wish there was more feedback on this.
I've been dealing with this for several years.  I have a 2014 C37 since new.  I flush out the cavity every Spring by blasting a hose through the lower edge of the cover and from the dexk above.  I continue to flush until I only see water and no debris.

Started with fixing two pad eyes today while waiting for the delivery of the correct size tapping drill for fixing the midship cleats.

Pleased to say that I found the aluminium plates that are moulded into the deck under the pad eyes as well and was able to tap a 6mm thread into those for the machine bolts. I would not have been able to get a back nut on those bolts without stripping out the joinery cupboards, so very pleased to have found the plates.

If you have a standard prop you should get about 5.5 knots at 2200rpm. I had the same engine in my newer and heavier 33 and found 2200 the sweet spot.

Symphony 2, I forgot to mention usually a 5 minute burst at full belt at the end once the sails were down and heading back to channel entrance, it was more the cruising revs I was concerned about.  Will start giving it a bit more.
Thanks

No that is the very worst way to treat a small marine diesel. They need to be run hard and for long enough to get hot. Cruising for a D1 30 is 2200-2400rpm with occasional bursts up to at least 3000rpm - you should be able to get close to 3200rpm at maximum. To give you an idea the difference it makes to run hard, I had a 2030 in a 2001 37 used as a charter boat which did typically 600+ hours a year mostly at 2400rpm. It was still on its original exhaust elbow when I sold it with 3500 hours on it.

Clearly you can't replicate that with a weekend leisure boat which does typically less than 100 hours a year, but you can help by raising the rpm and particularly the short bursts at close to maximum.

Around 2/3 - 3/4 of WOT rpm is what you need to run at to keep it clean.

The new parts have been fitted and it's been run up and seems to be OK, no leaks and no fog,
I have been running this at between 1800 and 2200 rpm when we have used it(other than 15 minutes out and into the marina) is that rpm about right for keeping it free of carbon as I would like to avoid this happening again. Or should I be running it harder. 🤔
