Bavaria Yacht Help! / C51 NMEA 2000 - fuse location

Last post by gg - November 30 2025, 08:44

Hi all,

I have a 2014 C51 with a NMEA 2000 problem - there is no data from any instruments showing on any indicators and no autopilot available. I have checked the NMEA 2000 network and there is no 12V power at any points I can tap into. I have tried to find where the fuse is but I cannot after a few hours of searching.

Does anyone know where the NMEA 2000 network is powered from and/or where the fuse is located?
Thanks, Graham

Hi Elías,

I understand you need the measurements of the triangle at the foredeck and the sides, correct?

Hi , no just the cockpit floor !

So get a 16 mm bolt and see if it threads into your spare oil filter! 

Although oil filters often have weirdo UNC threads.

Is this your filter (there's two types depending on exact engine model)? The thread spec is on the photos: https://www.svb24.com/product/510505

I can measure the diameter of the filter but how do I measure the thread. I assume metric maybe 16 mm

Bavaria Yacht Help! / Brunton Prop article.

Last post by Impavidus - November 25 2025, 19:38

Hi Folk I trust everyone is looking forward to the festive celebrations and looking can't wait to spend their SVB gift vouchers in January 😀
As we say I am on the ear'ole. I wrote an article on changing to the Brunton prop for the BOA and posted it for interest in a few places. (C.2015-2016) I am currently in Tunisia on Impavidus and need the article and data for video script. I have a backup in the safe back in Hampshire but would really like to get started ASAP as it is a paid commision. Does anyone have a copy of the download, a link to the article on here or on the BOA site? I have spent some time searching on here but cant find it.

Can you help?

Best regards Anthony.

I'm adding to this discussion to benefit future forum searches: I have a bavaria 47 Cruiser 2001 with a very similar stress crack at the top left corner of the slosh/compression baffle, forward left water tank. This summer I took a Dremel and ground out a v groove of the crack, used a milling bit, and tried welding it with LDPE and HDPE (I did not have MDPE rod available) and this did not work. Surfaces were very well prepared. The adhiesion was not 100% and the crack still leaked (see images below, one of the pictures is taken from inside the tank). While in theory HDPE should weld to MDPE (?), not in this case. I'm looking for MDPE rod now to redo the job. To my understanding, welding rod color should not matter. I'm not excluding the option that my welding rods might have contained some moisture. Probably the best result in welding will be achieved when the rods are dried in ~50 C for some hours before welding. I know from 3D printing of plastics that filament moisture content can wreak havoc on print quality. Same goes for the weldable surface.

In summary, my recommendation for plastic welding this crack:
1) Use MDPE for welding, not LDPE or HDPE;
2) Dry your welding rod/material for 2 hours at 50 C, oven, apply heat with an electric fan or whatnot to the crack;
3) Surface preparation is paramount, clean the crack with solvents, brush it up, V-groove it with a knife blade/Dremel.

You can also check for Perkins Prima ones, the bolts on the block should be the same although the filter fitting is not.

In addition, there are generic kits, you basically just need to match the central thread and the diameter of the outer seal, so if you can get some measurements you should be able to look up a suitable one.

Thanks for the info. I will follow up when I get back to UK. Perhaps the fitting is the same as theD2. My engine has been out of production for 20 years so vp accessories very much reduced
