Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Wearing out bearing

Re: boxtron replacement

Jeff, Yes, the 87a terminal is to use the relay in a normally closed manner, you want to leave that empty and use terminals 87 and 30 to give you a normally open circuit that is closed

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Wearing out bearing

Here is my best memory of how it went… On the used bearing, measure the spots where the lips of the seal rub on the bearing. Push the first sleeve on as far as possible with the tool provided. The

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Wearing out bearing

Craig, I am changing the wear bushing, seals, and C Drive oil every two years because that is what is recommended by Amel. Also, I renew antifouling with Micron66 every two years because that is

Thank you!!!!

Good morning to all. At the suggestion of one of the members, I joined this group back in June or July and posted that I was in the market for an Amel SM. Shortly thereafter, I was notified of a

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Wearing out bearing

Bill R, I don’t know about the Amel “chrome plated” bushing, but I can suggest that--in general--chrome plating is not a great solution for hardening a shaft under a lip seal. Yes, it is hard

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Wearing out bearing

Hi Bill, I think we can safely assume you are changing the wearing-out-bearing every two years because they are, well, "wearing out" and allowing water intrusion, or, if not yet leaking you expect

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Wearing out bearing

Eric, Cutting and polishing Speedi sleeves is not for a man with average skills. SKF will not recommend doing that. Sleeve's leading edge is critical for proper installation. If it is not cut and

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] solenoid & relay replacement

Just a little side remark. I am not sure about other models, but I have been very impressed with the robust quality of relays and solenoids on the Super Maramu. The ones selected by Amel cost as much

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Wearing out bearing

Eric, That is the VERY REASON that I have not tried Speedi Sleeves. I assume the reason for using the sleeves is to get longer life out of the wear bushing. Since I service the C Drive and Bow

Re: boxtron replacement

Jeff, I have an answer for you, as I recently did exactly the same procedure. My 54 is #31, so likely very similar to yours. When my original boxtron failed, Paul was also helpful in replacing it with

Eric, I will keep this in mind, thanks. I have some higher priority projects on the to do list so it might be a while before I get to the slider. Best, James Alton SV Sueno, Maramu #220 Arbatax,
