Hello

The wearing bearing that is causing your problem is a service item.
All Amel owners should take note that this item should be changed
every 800 hours. Its an easy job that any qualified mechanic can
handle. As to the amount of time that you wait, keep in mind that
salt water has entered your gear box. Obviously not a good situation.

Hi Dimitris:



Did you change the rings under water?



I suppose you are Greek. I have a house on the southern end of the

Pilion,

near Platanias. Are you sometimes in this vicinity?



Kind regards,



Rudi

Betreff: RE: [Amel Yacht Owners] Amel drive leaking at propeller

shaft, SM

116,



I had the same problem once. The solution is to change the rings

in the

shaft by removing the propeller. The advise I got from Amel at

that time is

that as the level is not very high there is no problem but they

advised to

empty as much as possible the oil/water mix and put some fresh

oil. You can

remove the mix with a pump from the plastic bowl.
