Re: AMFA bilge pump rebuild kit
Sv Garulfo
hi Craig, all, I’m pleased to report that I was able to implement Craig’s suggestions to repair the plastic/aluminium clutch gear of the Marina ZZ bilge pump gearbox. Interestingly, it initially looked like a piece was missing, creating a gap, but the lack of debris and the matching break surfaces convinced me otherwise. I guess the plastic ring is tensioned over the aluminium. So i elected to mate one side of the break and fill the gap with epoxy and a pin. I cut a new groove in the epoxy for the worm gear and luckily it aligns well, allowing the gears to run pretty smoothly. Hopefully it’ll last 12+ years, but still have a replacement planned, available from Amel and also Emek. Thanks again Best, Thomas GARULFO A54-122 Ua Pou, Marquesas, French Polynesia
