I have not seen a Vetus engine in a long time...? They are part of ''YANMAR Marine International'' (YMI) The Vetus Headquarters are based in the Netherlands.... Vetus, began in 1964 as a wholesale business run from a home in Rotterdam by the late Mr. Willem den Ouden...VETUS has been leading the innovation race with reliable marine engines suitable for many types of boats... Nice Engine, looks good, and sownds as good as it looks...🎵🎶
I had a Vetus engine in a new barge I bought the engine was fine but changing the TMC gearbox with the ATF oil was a pain,I have a Yanmar with a PRM which uses engine oil so only need one type of oil on the boat.Also the PRM is so smooth going into gear and using the boat on rivers and canals you use the gearbox a lot,after 4350 hrs and 16 years the PRM still works flawlessly so does the Yanmar.
You just lay the dampening directly on the engine? That's the first time I've seen that done. I'm not exactly a mechanic, but I don't think that's a very good idea..
Haa...? Only wone thing can happen, it will just cach fire thats all... You can allways jump in to the water, and then clame the inshuorance pollecy...
Super Video. Ich habe gesehen, dass sie die gleiche Maschine Perkins haben, ich suche schon ewig nach einem Werkstatthandbuch. Können sie mir weiterhelfen? Wo könnte ich sowas finden? Besten Dank Hiltrud
great video. I plan to buy one because I would like to do the canal du midi with it. I live in France and I am looking for the technical sheet of the nidelv 24. if you have it, can send it to me by email (mr.leon-didier@wanadoo.fr) because I do not know its weight. thank you in advance.
Wow iv never seen a thousand series so pimped out. great comfort mods if you have to spend all day every day in the thing .but on the heater demister hose I'd have an extra flexable hose to put inside my boiler suit for extra toestyness so if you get wet you could dry your clothes as you are wearing them.as well as builders hearing protector headphones with built in radio and Bluetooth.because try as you might you will struggle to sound proof those cabs enough to hear a normal stereo through car speakers. Without ruining your hearing.but rubber horse Matting offcuts can be cut in to sections to fill all the awkward holes in the floor and sides .using a cardboard stencil first and up around the mudguards held in place by self tappers.helps to retain a bit of warmth and comfort and I use old rubber innertube to replace the gaitors around the cab as well as a bit of Polly carbonate plexi glass on the rear but only put that on if the weather is absolutely terrible.you could have it so it folds or slides inside the roof of the cab when you don't need it .Power steering is also a must have with a loader.and that seat is a fair bit better.sensible mods to stop you feeling hard done by in the field.PS were is the turbo
@@galax650 , yes they break regularly, most vetus dealers keep them in stock, so that must tell you something, ( when I say mounts ,I mean the metal casting between the rubber flexible mounts and the engine block )
@@greggbutler9344 Thanks for the info! Really wierd that they would not fix that kind of serious issue! What vetus model do you have? What is the manufacture date?
DaSavageFox 01 the genarators didnt carge that well so that why the alternator is there but the generator does count the hours and tell rpm thats why 👍🏼
I thought alternators and dynamos worked on opposed polarities so a dynamo and alternator working together to charge the battery would cause problems. I would imagine he has got two separate systems that dont interfere with each other?but I agree dynamos are not as good as alternators especially if you are running extra lights and a heater and a winch a dynamo would not cope
No mention of the optional extra power assisted steering, window defogger, decent lighting and extra gauges. You must be planning to spend a lot of time in this. I love the mods !
hi do you have a video of the machine working with fire wood ? i want to build something similar and would like to see it in action thank you mike canada
I've got the same boat. The guy I bought it from built a cabin on top of the hull and now the boat has huge stability issues. Any suggestions besides ripping the top off? It's well built just way too heavy. Thanks
Try to calculate the extra weight mounted on the boat, and add corresponding weight to the bottom of the keel. First you can fill up the fuel tank and freshwater tank to max, and see how the boat behave on the sea. The boat have concrete as ballast,try carefully to remove some of the concrete and replace it with lead. When you add extra weight to your boat, of course, the speed drops. The hull shape of Saga 27 is initially unstable, this will be noted when you move in the boat. It will then change course. I have mounted autopilot to avoid this.
Normal cruise speed is 8 knots at 2600 rpm. The gear ratio is 2:1 from engine to propeller shaft. Diameter of the propeller is 17x11 inches 3 bladed. But I prefer to run the engine at 2500 rpm to reduse engine noise. I have switched the engine in the boat to a 52 hp Vetus M4.56 (Mitsubishi industrial engine) and same propeller and gear ratio, se my last video.
Mekweld Hanssen thank you for taking the time to reply. For all the many hundreds of Perkins videos, yours is very helpful for putting the engine in perspective from a performance point of view. Mine is geared similarly but has a smaller diameter but perhaps higher pitch propellor. Loved your video. Thank you from Canada.
Disel forbruket er 7 liter i timen ved 2600 rpm, har en tungdrevet propell. Denne motor skal kunne gå med maximalt 3600 rpm, men klarer ikke å få mer en 3000 rpm pga dreiemomentet. Normal gange er 2600 rpm.
Perkins motorene er kjente for å bruke litt olje. Saga 27 er vell drømmesnekken, har nylig oppgradert meg fra en Arendalsnekke på 21 fot til en Joda 24 med en Yanmar 33hk.
