It is possible that you have a lot of growth on the transducer. The way that you remove it is unscrew the retainer or the transducer and pull it out replacing it with the plug. Yes you will get some

Hello If you like, I can send you the fault finding part of the B&G Hydra 2 manual concerning the depth transducer. With that in hand you can move forward. Just provide me with your email. Best -

Is it possible to lift out the B&G Depth Transducer part 401-00-012 from inside the hull without sinking the boat? There is a Cap to replace the sensor. Is there any information available of how to

Craig it looks like the top is assembled differently. Otherwise the same idea. Thanks Eric Did you get the video of our sail to Colombia? Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

Eric, No, just the one of lifting the upper unit with "trumpet" attached and the other pic of the upper unit suspended in the cockpit. I ran a line around the upper bracket of the upper unit with each

Hi Kent, Interesting observation - it seemed like one of those purposeful Amel things. The space does not communicate with anything - it is simply a hollow void below the propeller shaft housing. I

Mike, the brass gear is probably worn in the gearbox. I know mine was. I think getting a new gearbos is not a bad idea, possibly Amel can order you a new top plate as a spare. Fair

I have been using the marine grade anti seize twice a year . (Link Below) The shaft slips out easily. I also took about a two thousands of an inch off of the width of the

Thanks Mike, I think you will find it much cheaper and quite satisfactory to have a new top plate made by an engineering firm rather than buying a new gear box Regards Danny

Thanks Danny. As usual, there is more than 1 way to skin a cat. And it seems Amel owners find many ways. Mike ALETES SM#240 Sent: Monday, June 06, 2016 3:40 PM To:

Hi Mike, I had the same problem. Heat from a gas torch works well, you and I both should have started there. I was hauled out at the marina in Colon and as preventative maintenance decided to replace

I agree on the value of a grease fitting and relief hole for the gearbox. This gearbox is a bear to remove and open up to re-grease. I do want to remind others, however, that this grease does not get

Hi Craig, Wow you did some job on that sail drive. Although it is different than the Super Maramu it is similar in many ways. Do you have more photos of the engine room side? Fair

Mike, it is the same drawing. I believe it is one I might have sent to Bill to post. Looks like you will need a new gearbox (ouch) from Amel. I was fortunate to get the last two disassemble

Eric, Thank you for the offer. Email is mdondra at Verizon dot net. Also Walter already uploaded to Yahoo the Leroy Sumer technical data and drawings. Perhaps yours are different? Mike ALETES

Mike, Please send me your email and I will send you a drawing of the gearbox. I removed the shaft by removing the boom, turning it upside down on the deck supported by wood dunnage, And then

Hi Mike, If you think you will need a new gearbox and shaft, the simplest solution is the one adopted by Amel in Guadeloupe for us when we were in the same position---take a saw and cut through

Hi Mike, I got it out by disassembling the boom, taking it from the boat and solid punching, but you need to put the support in the right place, otherwise you might brake something you don´t want to

Hello Mike, Here is how I removed the shaft on my vessel. http://nikimat.com/outhaul_motor_rebuild.html Thanks for the advice on lobbying the shaft Gary! If you are still in Puerto Rico, would love
