Thanks so much for this excellent how-to. I tried the clean-up first but that didn't work, so I ordered the new display from Ali-Express. It was only $13 CDN all in and arrived at my home on Vancouver Island in only 10 days. It arrived from a Canadian shipping address so I am not sure if Ali Express has a warehouse in Canada, or if it was transhipped. All in all, great!
Have yet to drop the sails to retrieve the drone. Usually just heading dead down wind brings down the apparent wind to almost nothing, and makes catching it off the stern somewhat simple.
As everyone else has said this is just the best how to video! Great detail shots and perfect descriptions. Thanks for making this such an easy project!
Wow! Thanks! For the first oil change on our new 4JH57 I tried the dipstick tube like on our previous Yammer and on this engine could only suck out about one quart (and tried this method according to the Yanmar manual. HA!) After searching all around the engine for a better option, I turned to "Doctor Google" and found this RU-vid post. Thanks, dude! Happy sailing!
IMPORTANT!!! This plug deforms after a certain time (ppl say 3 years), and no longer stays in place (I think rubber shrinks). A working engine may spit it out followed by spitting out oil, making a total mess out of engine compartment, then you have to fish out the plug and put it back in (or make a DYI plug). $10 part, replace every 3 years or whenever works for you.
Bonjour Lucas, merci pour ta vidéo trés interessante, j'ai besoin de remplacer la premiere vitre plastique (celle qui est en contact avec l'extérieur) mon tachometre est un Volvo mais qui est fabriqué par VDO, sais tu si cette pièce existe ? Par avance merci, HM
Thank you so much! I had the same problem and it is fixed now🎉. The video is easy to follow. Thanks also for the source for the LCD. I of course, like that it was cheap, but it was even more important for me, that it did not lose the motor hours.
Good video, just ordered a replacement screen, after just removing my screen . I hope this is the problem, my Alt. Wire had 8 volts when tested, screen not lighting or reading at all.
This is one of the best tutorials I have experienced on RU-vid. I used each of Luca's detailed references and instructions to replace my LCD hour display on my boats Yanmar instrument display. The entire process took less than 10 minutes & was made easy because of this video. Thank you Lucas, great job and I am grateful.
Hola Jose, same repair can be done. Or you could try remove some of the silicone, as seen in this video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eldRUU7qc2Y.html
Hi Sam, if you look in the video description, you will see a link for one option for buying the LCD. (the one I used) But you can search yanmar . volvo VDO LCD and find other options.
Beautiful video, a couple of the shots are top shelf. But the Gennaker looks small, what wind ranges are you using it in? You should talk to North Sails about that!
Beautiful video. Good focused camera shots, white background, precise instructions, with quality audio. These are the videos which make RU-vid such a fantastic resource. Thank you for taking the time to make and post these instructions. Take a bow.
Thanks John. It takes a bit of work, but it is so nice when you can narrow the scope to just the task no distractions. Thanks for noticing every point!
This video was much more specific than the first one. And every detail that may cause an issue was explained properly. Well made video. I did swap my LCD yesterday, and one of the transparent clips for the standoff legs broke off. It does not worry me much, but you should consider not removing the clear plastic part when swapping the LCD as there is a chance that the clips may break. My RPM/hour display was manufactured in 2009.
thanks for the feed back. I wonder if your plastic was just older and dried out. I took mine off several times with no issues, but you definitely don't have to take them off.
This is amazing! We’re getting ready to sell our boat and have dealt with a broken counter for about 14 months now. Now I have the confidence to fix it so we can list with correct engine hours versus our estimation :) Thank you!!
Thank you for posting. I nearly did not buy my boat because the the seller could not confirm the engine hours. I had a mechanic inspect and check the engine and I took the risk. Now I have new LCDs thanks to your post. To say that I am very happy with the outcome is an understatement. I was pleasantly surprised at how low the actual hours are, so bonus!
@@vergrupos just pick away at it with a small flat head screwdriver, etc. Ruby Rose did a video on this around 5:14 mark. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EJZvffftV1o.html
Great video! Thank you for the detailed look. I got a replacement display from Amazon and then swapped the displays in less than half an hour, for my 2006 Beneteau. The old display looked pristine with no noticeable corrosion. Lifting the old display from the left cracked the right side; but it was trash anyway. Before I started I measured the voltage with my autoranging meter but could not get a reliable DC voltage at the terminals, probably due to the very noisy alternator power. It did read 7.4 Vrms AC, which indicated some power connection; this proved to be sufficient.
Hi Lucas great video, my Vdo tacho with faulty hour lcd has a much thicker plastic rim once the meter is out of the case. Is this something you have seen? I’m having trouble getting it apart Regards Geoff
Hi Geoff. I really don't have much experience except with my yanmar display and owners who have watched this video reaching out. you are talking about one of the plastic covers? or the black trim piece?
Ordered a new screen out of china on ebay, watched this video while I dismantled my Hunter 38 display, did exactly what he said and it worked perfectly!! Thanks so much for posting this. Very satisfying as you say. Cheers.
@@lucasspaniard8430 I'm on Vancouver Island BC Canada. The previous owner had been recording hours since the screen went out in 2013, and it was only 4 hours off when I got the new screen installed. Pretty good record keeping all those years. Merry Christmas to you!
