Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Suddenly screaming noise from the bowthruster and not moving the prop anymore

Good morning William,

When it happened to me (same thing: propeller still on bow thruster - but no movement and screaming sound) it was the bearing inside the foot that were worn out. Here are pictures: http://www.nikimat.com/bow_thruster_spin.html You will need from Amel Part 1110 (Mecanism Pied de Propulseur SM) the price varies a lot if you purchase it from Martinique (977 Euro) or La Rochelle (582 Euro) scroll down to 1110 to see the part: http://www.nikimat.com/spare_parts_bow_thruster.html NOTE: Make sure you order with the Tufnol shaft and not the bearing by themselves as the size of that shaft has changed (look at the last picture on: http://www.nikimat.com/bow_thruster_lost_propeller.html ) NOTE 2: when you receive the 1110 - the small open space to receive the key on the small gear will have to be machined a little as it is not thick enough. If you look at the 2nd picture on http://www.nikimat.com/bow_thruster_spin.html You will see where the key goes has not be machine as much as on the old gear. You have a good view on picture 6. Wood luck, sincerely, Alexandre --------------------------------------------

The prop is still there but it can turn almost without any resistance. Any idea what can be wrong and how to repair is very much welcome. Best regards, Willem Kroes SM #351 KAVANGA
