This web page, or links to pages from here, describe information and modifications which have been carried out on the Westerly Fulmar, Inadee. Specification HistoryInadee has had two owners since she was built by Westerly in late 1984. The yacht was displayed at the 1985 boat show and eventually launched in March 1985. The yacht was registered at Newhaven on the 20th May 1985 to Mr Fletcher of Sussex. The Official number of Inadee is 704332. The yacht has been kept in the Portsmouth area until now. She was sold to her current owner on 12th April 1990. In the four years to 1990 the log indicated just over 4000 miles. The Bukh DV20 diesel engine was replaced in March 2002 after the Bukh overheated and it became more cost effective to renew the engine with a fresh water cooled Yanmar 3GM30 than to continue to pay through the nose for Bukh parts. A new Brunton H5 Autoprop was also fitted in March 2002.

Engine Hour MeterThe following information relates to the engine running hours meter which can befitted to any engine working on 12 volts dc. The following is a list of Parts:
The Farnell hour meter is slightly different to the RS device and is manufactured by Hengstler Pt No. 0.633.831. Bukh Engine DV8/10/20/36/48 The above engines all have similar instrument panels and associated circuits. The following diagram relates to the engine fitted with a 700 watt alternator, but the connection points are the same for all earlier models.
In this circuit diagram only the relevant connections are shown related to the engine cooling water flow switch. Refer to the 'OwnersHandbook' or 'Workshop Manual' for greater detail on associated circuits. The hour meter is only active when the engine is running, and is non resetable. The hour meter increments once every 36 seconds and the display is seven digit with a resolution of 0.01 hours i.e. 99999.99.
Bukh Water Pump Coverplate WingnutsThe following parts may be used to cost effectively make removal and replacement of the pump cover plate easier.
The kit comprises of wing nuts and studs which are fitted as replacements for the existing face plate screws. Available from Aquafax Change of Distribution Plate in Operating Panel DV8/10/20/36/48
view of the pcb. Later models of the Bukh have a 700 watt charging alternator and double charging diode (service information number 8110 of 17-11-81 refers), and the following overcomes irregular operation.
The distributor plate has been changed to overcome the above. A larger resistor has been incorporated to enable a load of 3W rather than 2W. A zener diode has been added so that the alarm is only actuated when there are more than 3 volts. Spare Parts: Distributor Plate 008E-7347. Cost:~�23.70 ex VAT. June 2001 Diodes:D1 & D2 1N4002 D3 1N5401 Zener:BZX79C3V0 3Volt 500mW (Farnell 369-342) (Maplin QH01B) Resistors:R1 330W 2W R2 68W 3W Plate attachment screws.Self tapper No4 x 0.5inch Marine Water FlowswitchThe following diagram shows the circuit for an alarm working at 12 volt DC. Normally the sounder already exists and is usually set up to operate for more than just one alarm switch by employing diodes on the ground side; any switch which makes the circuit provides a path through its associated diode and the alarm is enabled. In this circuit the Flowswitch used is a failsafe device which closes its contacts when flow is detected, therefore a transistor is used to invert the signal and provide a similar function to the normal diode, providing a path to ground without affecting other alarm ground paths. The following is a list of Parts:
If there is already an alarm it may be possible to use this, particularly if it is already used for more than one function, i.e. Oil warning and water temperature. The above shows the principle method of the multiple alarm circuit. Each diode being the path via an alarm switch to ground. Bukh Engine DV8/10/20/36/48 The above engines all have similar instrument panels and associated circuits. The following diagram relates to the engine fitted with a 700 watt alternator, but the connection points are the same for all earlier models.
In this circuit diagram only the relevant connections are shown related to the engine cooling water flow switch. Refer to the 'OwnersHandbook' or 'Workshop Manual' for greater detail on associated circuits. The Flow switch does not illuminate any warning lamps, it only sounds the alarm when water ceases to flow into the water pump situated on the front of the engine. The switch is positioned as close to the pump as is practical, adjacent to the oil dip stick. Early action to regain flow will eliminate the pump impeller coming adrift from the centre bush and delamination of the exhaust pipe.
Gas Isolation Solenoid ValveButane gas is very dangerous on a yacht and in order to reduce the risk of inadvertently leaking gas into the boat a solenoid valve has been fitted in the gas locker. This solenoid valve is controlled by an illuminated switch sited above the sink in the main saloon. When set to ON the switch indicates a bright red light which will remain on untile either the switch is selected to OFF or the battery master switch is turned off. I used an existing utility fuse which was adequate for the job. Parts:
All gas joints should be made using jointing paste. Entry of the gas pipe and electric cable into the gas locker must be via through bulkhead pipe connectors or cable gland, to prevent any leaking gas entering the boat.
On completion of the work ensure the integrity of the gas system by thoroughly checking for leaks.
Gas DetectorA gas detector which has two sensors, one in the main saloon and the other in the cockpit locker, is fitted. The sensors not only work for Butane gas, they also sense other hydrocarbon fuels such as paraffin, petrol, methylated spirit. Follow the instructions that come with the unit. I mounted one of the sensors in the the main cabin just below the sink about 100mm above the cabin sole, the other was mounted approximately 200mm above the hull at the forward end of the access to the engine bay from within the cockpit locker. On completion of installation check the system with the appropriate fuels ensuring that the system resets when the fuel supply is removed. The reset may take a little time. Check the system at regular intervals for seviceability. Parts:
No switch is fitted, the alarm is enabled when switching on the battery master switch. Marine VHF Digital Selective Calling Transciever + SWR MeterReplaced a Huson70 TR with the NASA M-Tech SX35DSC
interfaced to a Garmin 48 GPS Dec04 ~�145.00. The above transceiver has been replaced in 2008 with an
Icom IC-M505 transceiver complete with CommandMic III, HM-162E. To complete the
installation a loud hailer has been installed on the gantry which enables
automatic fog horn sounding and hailing. (~�299.00)
