Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] AMFA bilge pump gear sprocket broken

Thank’s Alan, That does seem a good option, I like the hand crank option on it. Do you find that it is big enough for your boat? The specs I saw indicated that is suits boats up to 40ft. Changing

Re: AMFA bilge pump gear sprocket broken

That nylon gear seems to be the weakest part in that pump. When ours failed in New Caledonia 2 years ago, we replaced it with a Johnson Viking 32 and bought spares with it. Cheers Alan Elyse SM437
