Good evening all,
Last month my 230AS broke its moorings when a freak wave broke through the pier wall . She was washed up onto rocks and has been severely damaged. The hull is cracked along the sked , there are plenty of scraps and she has a major hole under the water line at he bow.
The sea water got in around the engine ( vw 150 5 cyl ) and even into the electric control panel mounted on the side of the engine.
To cut a long story short I got her lifted and onto dry land , removed the glow plugs and cranked the engine by hand. There was water inside and I kept cranking her until all the water was removed. I removed the electronic controller and removed the water from inside . Took it apart , relays cables and PCB board . I cleaned all and dried out. I sprayed the outside of the engine with wd40 .
I have reassembled everything and have put back in place. I have connected up new battery .
When I turn on ignition key the alarm is sounding and I can not clear this. The screen is in default . It won't allow me to start the engine. I have tried resetting the e stop and removed all control relays but the alarm is still on .
My questions are
Does anybody have electrical control drawings for this engine?
I need to get the engine started and has anybody ever by passed the controls to get the engine started?
I need to see if the engine is ok so I estimate if repairing the Boat is viable.
My Insurance company won't cover me as they say the boat was not moored at an approved marina.
So a little advice to is check out the small print on your Insurance policy.
Hoping some one can help me.
I am based in Galway west of Ireland.
Regards,
Declan
