sam replied to Peter Obetz's discussion A/C thru hull caution!!!!! in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"Similarly, I changed out my aircon thru hull and valve a while back. Seems to be an issue.
Recently, I was changing the aircon seawater pump and luckily found a valve on the distribution manifold (one pump serves two aircon units) that was fully…"
sam replied to Cam Whitlock's discussion Freezer problem in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"Mike nails the freezer (and Refrigerator) item. Remove the woodencovers on the vents, and if they have never been off you will most likely find a carpet of dust/hair/lint. I drilled small screw holes and added screws to re-attach. Now it is a…"
Cam Whitlock replied to Cam Whitlock's discussion Freezer problem in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"Thanks for the details, this really helps. It will be a few weeks before I get a chance to tackle this.
Fair winds!

Mike Brown replied to Cam Whitlock's discussion Freezer problem in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"Cam, I used a wide, flat blade screw driver to pry it off. I took my time and made sure I wasn't forcing it and causing any dents or scratches. It took a little while to do but when done I had good access to the coils. One of the grills would…"
Cam Whitlock replied to Cam Whitlock's discussion Freezer problem in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"Mike - great information! I was hoping that there is a way to remove the wood grills. What type of tool did you find worked that didn’t damage the wood? "
Mike Brown replied to Cam Whitlock's discussion Freezer problem in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"Cam, keeping the coils clean is essential to max efficiency for both units. For whatever reason our 43 required constant upkeep to keep the coils clean. The wood grates are glued on but can be removed if you work at it using a tool that won't…"
Cam Whitlock replied to Cam Whitlock's discussion Freezer problem in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"Hey Mike - I agree with you that there is no physical problem with the unit running. My problem is the drain on the battery. As a weekend / once / twice a year cruiser, I don’t have solar to recharge my batteries (yet). I…"
Mike Brown replied to Cam Whitlock's discussion Freezer problem in the group Beneteau 40 & 43"We experienced the same thing on our B43 (now sold and gone). We were living aboard and cruising with a fairly full freezer. Like you did I changed out the thermostat without success. I wrote it off to the poorly insulated freezer compartment but…"

With my skipper Dan I work on our little ship ORKUN - SWELL I You can get an impression of the tendency of our ship here:
Moments on the ORKUN - SWELL I
On a Gulet can stay overnight up to 12 persons. In roomy 6 double cabs with own bath & toilet you can recover yourself from the stress. If you are ever at the Cote d'Azur and want to join us, send us a message.
A Gulet is a sailsboat usually made from wood. Gulets were built since the Antique in Karien (particularly in Bodrum and Marmaris) and were over thousands of years the type of ships for the trader from the Amphora, who carried olives, wine and many other precious goods along the Turkish coasts. The wooden building ships are admired for the warmth and great atmosphere compared with the common plastic boats.
As I also do a videoblog about good food and wine, you are welcome to join my group Charlottenburg Cuisine at GREAT COOKS.
We made a episode on our ship. As we think good food and wine is part of great sailing expiriences:
The appetizer is tagliatelle putanesca. As a main course we serve cod filets provencale style and for dessert we serve baked pears in a rosé-honey sauce. Enjoy!
