Ah, yes - sorry, i wasn't aware that you asked for the upper ones. They are "custom" made, right? Because i had once replaced the gaskets, and those were also custom, bavaria-made.

So - sorry :-(

You could fit a 30A relay (from motor factors) with just the signal wires to the on/off switch.

Bavaria Yacht Help! / Holding tank removal

Last post by elias - June 07 2026, 13:55

Hi to all,
Holding tank in our Bavaria 50 2007 is leaking when half full around 100ml per 24h.
I was suspecting the fitting area but looks dry .
To remove it looks like I have to take the whole wall out ... any experience ?

Not sure how it looks if they get painted...

Many thanks for the tip. I've not yet found an on-off switch of reasonable size that is rated the same as the OEM switch (30amp). Seems a bit high to me but apparently its to accommodate the surge when the pump starts.

I Changed it to an on/off switch (waterproof of course). Keeping it pressed during showering is not easy. That works great (and due to the noise, nobody forgets to turn it off afterwards...)

Looking to replace the shower pump out switch on our 2009 40 cruiser. The std switch is a push button thingy that is uncomfortable for my wife to use. SVB sell the same ones. Any suggestions welcome.

Quote from: Krumelur on June 02 2026, 08:23It does look like you had the same issue and thank you for the reply 😁 It may not be clear in the photos I supplied but the plate holding the top rudder bearing has elongated holes that allow the side to side movement. I do find this surprising but thought it was the standard factory component. This is what I was hoping to establish by asking the forum.
I like the way you went about identifying the problem on your boat by marking the plate. I will do the same now before going any further. Again, many thanks for your response and suggestion.

Bavaria Yacht Help! / Bavaria 40 Cruiser: Bathing pl...

Last post by Krumelur - June 03 2026, 16:29

While lifting up the platform of my 40 the left part of it suddenly dropped and I found the lower bolt holding the platform in place had cracked. It's insanity as this is a bolt thicker than my thumb.
I presume what happened was that the welding of the bolt to the plate screwed to the hull wasn't well done and gave in to excessive forces applied over the years.
The big unknown is now how to best fix this?
I can go and find a place to do the welding but how to get the platform out and back in? It will only fit if the plate (with bolt) is inserted into the platform before doing the screws. But from what I can tell, I can only reach the screws as long as the platform isn't mounted!?
