Paul S – Quest replied to the topic Glow plugs with isolated earth. in the forum Engines & gearboxes 1 week ago
We had the same thing and in a colder climate it is a real problem! There are 3 stages to the ignition switch,.
first stage – the lights come on.
second stage – the contactor for the glow plugs switches on (in our case and i expect yours the +12v is on the glow plugs but no -ve to the engine block).
third stage – the starter motor is engaged and…[Read more] -

Hi, I have the same engine. To my understanding , the glow plugs like the starter are connected to the minus through the Engine Block only when the ignition switch is on the glowing and starting phase. Otherwise, they are not connected. There is a small relay on the right side of the engine that manages this process.
if it is Not the case the…[Read more] -

Welcome, sounds like the boat is not sitting around. I think we would all like to hear your impressions of the 400 and congratulations on your purchase and journey..

Hi there, does sound like you have done some miles already. Looks like we will be crossing paths. My Ovni is at Arzal and we plan to cross to A Coruña in early May. On your way north you may find my list of Ovni spots useful – see https://www.dropbox.com/s/3eqy8mldzw68wpf/Ovni%20pottering.pdf?dl=0.
In terms of the UK, sounds like you will not be coming to my area – the Solent. But if you do, Poole is a good Ovni place (lots of shallow water to explore) and, in the Solent, I think the best spot by far is Newtown. We live very close by, so if you get there, let me know and I can give you precise pilotage suggestions and maybe we can meet up. -
Welcome Martin. Kimchi is about to be launched for its 3rd season in Scotland. The sailing here is sublime and not crowded even in peak season. We rate the West Coast of Scotland above Norway, Iceland and British Columbia. We over winter in Largs Marina on the hard using a winter package deal.

Hi everyone!
We recently purchased an Ovni 395 and have since brought it to Hamburg.Since we bought the yacht, the glow plugs have not been working. I have since found out that the 12 volts arrive at the glow plugs. Unfortunately, no current is flowing because the earth (the engine block) is not connected through to the battery minus during…[Read more]

Thanks, the Vulcan anchor also score very high on the Panope testing, it’s on my shortlist, and Barry the “adventures of an old sea dog” also uses a Vulcan anchor. Very nice to know that it’s fits on the roller. The Viking has some issues for some boats.

We are a 385 but probably very similar bow roller, we have the rockna. Would probably opt for the volcan now but it wasn’t available when we bought ours. Been very happy with it although had to customise the bowsprit for the asymmetric a bit to clear the role bar.

Hi Ole. Not a direct answer to your question but after our deliberations mentioned above we went for a 25kg Vulcan which fits on the bow our 2008 395 (80) without modifying the bow sprit. We have spent a lot of time at anchor over the last few years and it has been great.

After watching a lot of “SV Panope” videoes I have planned to buy a Viking 25 anchor. my Rocna 25 have failed on me a few times.
I want to know if there are any issues with the Viking 25 and the bow roller on a 395 ?
Regards,
