went to check wire size, looked in owners manual first to see if size was in there answer NO. but fuse size in manual dont match whats fitted, Bow thruster says 60 amp but 70 amp marked on fuse board Cabin feed says 60 amp but 70 amp marked on fuse board Central heating says 30 amp but 40 amp marked on fuse board. So decided to look at fuse to see what was marked on them, all same as marked on fuse board, but two of the fuse holders broke so now i am fitting a new fuse board and will check the wire size before fitting any fuses.

Thanks for the reply. I'm not at the boat but will be going btomorrow. will check wire size.

Hi Just had boat safty inspection, inspector passed it with some advice on one or two minor things, but what he queried was the fuse ratings which are as follows Voltage sense 4 amp Bowthruster Charge 70 amp Cabin feed 70 amp Central heating 40 amp Alternator 150 amp do these seem OK Thanks

Information on oil seals is TC 30 47 7 TTO D 724 I take it 30 to be shaft dia 47 outside dia and 7 width the rest i have no idea

I am going to the boat tomorrow and will get the numbrs, bought two spares just in case, these have done 120 hours up to now and no leaks

it is a Vetus but I took the seals to a local bearing supplier who said they were a standard oil seal

hope in got this right as its my first time. I have change the seals on my propshaft which seemed easy. slacked the 4 clamp bolts on the coupling and slid the shaft back and removed the 3 screws holding the oil seal housing, removed housing from shaft removed both oil seal,replaced both seal in housing and relaced. the oil seals I purchased from local bearing specialist for 2 pound each. silicone grease from plumbers merchant and the paper gasket was replaced with gasket compound, all done with the boat in the water.
