Bavaria Yacht Help! / Re: Oil leak on saildrive of a MD2030

« Last post by JM on Today at 14:21 »

Have you noticed if sea water has entered the oil, is the oil milky? 

What is the oil level on the dipstick in the saildrive?

Thanks for your help.
A water infiltration issue was dealt with last year. It seem that the problem is a gasket.
The oil level does not change because the leak is very small and the dipstick is also very small. Very difficult to evaluate.
Thanks again.

Should be a 130 model. Hard to see, but the oil is barely visible. It's not coming from the drain plug (that's where the green tape is), but from one of the water intake holes. That means either the internal water channels have corroded away or the gasket between the leg and the gearbox has failed. Or someone tried to clean the water passages with a drill or some such.

You can try and fit a borescope inspection camera in there if it fits and maybe see which problem it is, but either way the saildrive needs to come out and the leg split from the gearbox. Maybe the service (replacement of the rubber diaphragm and also the gasket in question) is due anyways.

Thanks. I will take the saildrive out and check both. Thanks again.

Thank you very much!

Although when I see the price, I think that they are made of some other material and not plastic.

Probably one of these (you'll have to figure out the size):

Does anyone know where to buy this white plastic window frame?

Mine are quite yellow and cracked a bit.

The window is Lewmar.

I looked at SVB24 but I can't find it for this type of window.

Scuttlebutt / the power of the wind

« Last post by blue-max on Yesterday at 18:58 »

Recently got to the boat after some months of absence  and find cover  semi  shredded  - no surprise there  as it had been made inside out and with tags instead of cringles but what a surprise was that 3 stanchions on the port side were bent  and one base had a bent and severed stud - all 12 mm of it. Someone will understand what the loading must have been to do  that. fortunately no other damage but the consequence was that rain water had a way to  get inside - not enough to do  harm as my bilges are deep

Bavaria Yacht Help! / 2011 Bavaria shower drain

« Last post by john102345 on Yesterday at 14:01 »

Hi All
question answer maybe quick one.

I have just recently modified my bilge pump set up as the original fit Bavaria effort was poor!
I have installed a new 750 gallon per hour pump with new wiring, Wired direct into the house bank batteries so I can turn off the shore power & the isolator key when leaving the boat.
I recently used the shore hose pipe to wash out the entire bathroom & toilet I usually just use the shower head & then pump out with the pump in the sump switch located on the Bavaria panel.

My question is how deep is the shower sump & what capacity does it hold? as I used the hose to wash the bathroom I am sure I heard the newly installed bilge pump kick in & bilge to outside at the back of the boat but could not be sure.
I must admit the hose was running at a pace so had 2 " of water in the bottom of the shower.
Would I be right in assuming that once the shower trap is full it has an overflow into the bilge?

Stupid questions I know but would set my mind at rest.

Thanks
John
