Hi all. I have just purchased a 2008 Hanse 350 and was looking around the engine today. There is a black unit that looks like some sort of relay??. Anyone know what it is and where it should be mounted? Thanks For |

On my yacht , which is fitted with a YANMAR engine and saildrive, there is something that looks like that and it is the amplifier for the sail drive water sensor alarm that checks for any water between the 2 parts of the saildrive seal. Just fasten it somewhere with a cable tie. A Volvo engine would not have one. ------------- Martin&Rene Hanse 341 Dipper Wheel steering, 3 cabin layout, normally based in Scotland |

Hi It is as said an amplifier for the signal to the control panel. Has nothing to do with a loudspeaker, but might enhance the signal strength. But I think is more likely that is it meant to suppress electronic noise from tricking the alarm unnessarary. It has part number 196420-02812 saildrive water seal alarm amplifier /h8jer ------------- Hanse 370#487 30HP 3-cabin |
