Hey its been a while since I've updated, but progress is being made. For those who have access I've posted some video's over on the FB GL33 group https://www.facebook.com/groups/1329548370726108 -Basically old VW w/Hybrid system is out. -New D3 220hp is placed, and somewhat wired and...

Changing subject a bit, have anyone else had occasional diesel weeping from the port tank to sbd tank crossover tube valves? Right where they meet the tank? My port side one weeps in certain conditions. I spoke with Greenline about it and they acknowledged that they have seen it before and...

Thanks for checking out your boat Peter. I guess it is possible that the former owner had the Tides Marine seal put in and added the T to provide a water source. You would not see the T unless you opened up the hatch, mine is literally right below the elbow slightly forward, I don't think you...

Scott, Although I did (incredibly) find an actual picture of my shaft seal in my phone, posting it is a PITA because you have to host it somewhere, and although I do have a hosing service I have no idea how to get into it right not. Here is the seal I have, with 2 hoses. I think the idea is...

Just some clarifications: My boat is factory AC, Hybrid, VW165, 2011 us spec. I'm 99% sure that nothing has been modified in terms of plumbing, but I suppose anything is possible. The diesel seawater loop IS separate from the AC/Hybrid cooling loop except for 2 places: #1 is the T hanging...

Hi Peter, It's actually not a long story at all. I do a lot of work on the boat and engine so it's normal for me to be doing fairly large jobs while dockside. This time I bought a new Raymarine MFD and Radome and was starting the installation in the dash and running wires up to the Raydome. I...

Thanks Scott. I wills start to pull things apart soon. Also have new in the box impeller, maybe engine fuel filter, maybe oil filter, need to check. Best, Todd

There is a long story behind this, but I'm going to stick with the short story for now. My VW Marine engine is full of salt water, and I'm replacing it with a new D3 220hp. This will happen at my marina in Florida, and I'm guessing that this project has never before taken place in the US. I'd...

Peter, Didn't answer your question about the Ingenity battery. The 124kWh pack weighs about 1,700 pounds but since it's a wakeboard/wake surf boat that is good news! We also have water ballast tanks that can pull in another 2k lbs, and room for 10 or so people, so when loaded the boat ends up...

Hi Scott and Peter, Thanks for starting this group. 'Critical Mass' would be nice but here it the US we are far and few between (at least those with the VW engine). Upgrades include a Victron Color Control GX networked to the Quattro, BMV, and a new Victron SCC. This is connected to a...

Hi Everyone, So glad there is now a Greenline forum setup here and wanted to introduce myself. I'm Todd and my wife and I have owned a 2011 GL33 in South Florida since 2016. It's the VW165 with full hybrid package, solar, etc... and I've done some upgrades to the electrical and mechanical as...
