Holy smokes, by all means be on DC auto pilot pump control. Dad always told me, **** the toilet and AC. Take care of the ice maker and the auto...
Agreed. My controls for the two units are staggered, so the second only gets called when the load is heavy. The modern screw compressors also...
While I agree, if failure is happening at the pilot pump, you'll note some issues in the helm pump rebuild. I think it's an overall good...
Nor a stainless raw water pump. I don't understand the potential stainless market Groco sees for that strainer, but I wouldn't do it.
I think Tango checked all of the boxes.
Sounds to me like his whine is intermittent, meaning its not originating from the helm pump or the engine pump, not unless it's constant bypass...
Yes, with pressure low and perhaps compromised fluid or filter, there is a good chance of air being introduced. You might feel what seems like...
I installed a 24k BTU air handler in the ER. I only use it during maintenance at the dock, and I’m glad it’s there. I also replaced all...
Same. It was such a good decision.
I run 120k BTU of chiller driving nearly 180k BTU of air handlers. Given that I have 9 zones, the human impacts as well as solar means that all...
Well, another obvious one is that sick folks entering a community without the medical care of wealthier or more developed locations can and will...
Easy trick, while you're running now, grab a piece of hose, tubing, snorkel, whatever, and use it between your ear and the steering helm to focus...
Yeah, starboard won't hold sealant and isn't structural. A little sun will soften it quickly. Powder coated aluminum or a piece of acrylic are...
So it's now obvious that you have a bidirectional pilot steering pump. That pump is injecting hydraulic pressure on one side of the system every...
We actually had blow-by with the internal workings of one of the helm pumps. Rebuilt, all noise cured. Although mine wasn't a whine.
The pilot pump, when operating, does it start and stop? Likely given the persistent whine it runs continuously. To do this it must allow fluid...
Ok, whine, I think I missed that. That's the sound of hydraulic fluid being moved through restrictions. Look for check valves while researching....
Things "not going wrong" in a Marlow seems to be more the exception than the rule. I've never heard of this being the case from multiple Fleming...
Thank you for keeping this current, Ken.
Sounds like air in the lines as one possibility for noise. Another may be the helm pumps themselves allowing bypass from the pressure provided by...
