Engine Room - Fan noisy at start #699

Closed pcbaston closed 1 year ago

pcbaston commented 1 year ago

Skippers have reported a noisy engine room fan at engine start. The noise goes away after starting - possibly because the fan stops. The latest skipper, Michael Martin, reported that the noise is increasing - most probably bearings failing due to no maintenance. The exact fan cannot be identified without further advice (photos) of installed unit, however, several are available from SVB24.com (the Bavaria spare parts shop in Germany) for approx EURO 50-100 + shipping. I expect any blower fan will suffice as long as the voltage, diameter and capacity (volume of air) are compatible.

Need someone to either engage a local agent in Fiji or identify the suspect noise maker. @smr547 @peterottesen @pjwain @mrmrmartin
