Re: wiring computer fans for refrigeration
Eureka, the Danfoss module seems to have space for two push on connectors that I think can power the auxiliary fans. Now the only issue is figuring out how and where to mount the fans. Anybody know the manufactures revommendation? Thanks

Friends, need to get more air to the adler barbour cold machine in my newly purchased pdq. The compressor has a Danfoss 4 pin control box. Have some small fans ready to install, any ideas for wiring the fans to the compressor fan motor?

Re: Poll owners on their Fridge Capacity
One of many issues to debug with Honu (ex Frolic) is the refrigeration. Box goes down to 41° empty and evaporator box doesn't frost at all. It has an Adler Barbour unit that maybe hasn't been serviced since 1999. The installation is lousy, the compressor is on the floor of the port settee locker wit...

Re: Wierd corrosion on 9.9 leg.
Overheating is an interesting issue here. When I had he boat surveyed neither motor was pumping water through the telltale. Both according to the surveyor's infrared thermometer were operating within range. Only a fraction of the cooling water leaves the telltale.First thing I did was get a compress...

Re: Wierd corrosion on 9.9 leg.
Live in Seattle and moor inside the Government Locks in fresh water. Everytime we come home we run in fresh. We only bought her about a month ago so until recently 9she has been kept in salt. Locking is time consuming but the fresh water is great.

Re: Wierd corrosion on 9.9 leg.
Friends, excavated the filler, cleaned it up, the space behind it was packed with salt which I dug out as best I could. Flushed it with fresh water. Then ground the opening and indented it. Also drilled holes like mouse ears to lock the new filler. Used a piece of thin fiberglass as a backing for de...

Re: Wierd corrosion on 9.9 leg.
Here is a photo of the divot out of the back of the motor leg. You can see the aluminum foaming up? Never seen corrosion like this before. I am going to knock out the filler and clean up the hole to see if that decreases the corrosion.

suggestions for improving winter ventilation
Friends, I am looking for suggestions for improving winter, Northwest rainy season,ventilation on the 36? For example, my previous cat, a 9M Catalac, had 6 spin up round vents through the cabin roof.

It appears to have been partially filled with compound and that compound mayde exacerbating the corrosion. It actually foams some. Could it be some sort o...

Re: Yamaha T9.9 Cooling System
Just purchased Honu, a 36. Neither old engine was pumping water out the telltale. Talked with a mechanic who told me that they normally used compressed air to blow out the clogs. Thanks to the local Goodwill Store, a Room of Requirement if there ever was one, I obtained a working old Bostich compres...

Hi, am in the process of buying a 1991 PDQ (outboard model) "Honu" ex-"Frolic", ex-"Zephyr". I have scanned the board here and picked up some good information. Very few issues with the boat, not the best maintained outboards but recoverable (I hope), blisters towards th...
