This seems to have confused a lot of people commenting here.
The changed seal is NOT the seal on the vertical shaft that keeps water out of the boat. It IS the seal that keeps water out of the

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Bow thruster
I am a little confused about the mentioned tool to put on the new lip seals. Isn’t this seal adhered to the inside of the vessel before pulling up the shaft of the bow thruster into the motor? How

Re: bow thruster service. Problem
Holding some force on the chain wrench while you tap is a good technique. Just don't beat it with the hammer too hard.
Good luck

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Bow thruster
Good morning Jose,
Did “Amel” recommended to add a 3rd seal???
Could you please send me picture of the “system with a clamp” that you develop? I was thinking of a similar device.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Bow thruster
Five things:
Joel explained a drain tube that was added on SM hull number 400 and above. You have 278.
I believe you said that yours leaked without moving the boat. If so your bow is too heavy and

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Bow thruster
Just a thought. When sailing, do you secure the bowtruster with the stainless steel pin?
The times we have leakage is when we forget to secure it with the pin.

Re: Bow thruster
Eric,
The leak is through the lip seal. It is very clear every time the bow goes under water. It is a recurrent and frustrating problem.
I will be around this weekend if the weather is not good.

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Bow thruster
Hola Jose,
Exactly where is the bow thruster leaking?
Is it around the large lip seal and the foam disks, or is it coming up the bow thruster and leaking oily water.?Your problem seems somewhat

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Mainsail outhaul gearbox
You are correct. There is no substitute to removing that shaft. The pusher is the best option. You can fabricate one using the photos as a guide. I tried to find one I could purchase but couldn't
