That depends on whether the packing is OEM, or not. Assuming you have a SM or 54, tighten the large plastic nut 1 face. You will have to remove the mechanical nut lock, usually on 1 face of the

That depends on what model Amel and year. If a SM and original unmodified, you can pull off the red lens and unscrew 90 degrees the small BAY-type 24VDC incandescent bulb Best, CW Bill Rouse Admiral,

Good job, Duane. Like I said, "easy-peasy". And you didn't need to pay a mechanic or use a hydraulic press and now you really know your pump for when it breaks down at sea. Ain't life grand! Cheers,

After I posted this and several others replied they needed them too, I wrote back to Maud, telling her that, and she has now written to me saying she may be able to get them after all, now that there

The rudder is leaking is little while under way with autopilot . How to stop that completely? Skickat från min iPhone

We are now, me and. Anna the happy new owners of SM 435. The bilgepump is working fine but not the red lamp on the 24 volt panel. How do I replace it?

Thanks very much Mark, I keep an eye on the forum, I am very proud and honored to be remembered and that many of you answer questions using some of the illustrations I did. With time, I will put more

Thanks Mark, You had found a really good price for the pump so I got surprised by the prices of the rebuild kit I had found in my research. Fair winds, Thomas GARULFO A54-122 Curacao

Thomas, I think youwill find eBay to be the cheapest source. Or perhaps Amazon.

Hi John , Thanks very much!!! That’s very encouraging. Perhaps the gear maker here will not have problems either...:) If he does I’ll get back to you and perhaps contact the gear maker in New

Hi Helen and Kostas My Santorin is 1991 and we had the same problem a year ago. We managed (in New Zealand) to get the worm drive machined and then a new disk gear cut. All bearings were also

Dear all, Our electric furling system on our Super Maramu no 29 in 1990 is broken. The gears inside are sheared . We had already replaced the bearings inside when it was making some noise a few years

Duane, Craig, Bill, Mark and al, Thanks for the info, very useful ! Does anyone has a good reference/source for the major rebuild kit for that pump? Thanks Thomas GARULFO A54-122 Curacao

We met Krow in St Martin in 2008 or so. Krow is Work, spelt backwards. Extraordinary couple. They bought their Amel without knowing how to sail. Hired a "pro" to teach them for 3 months. Realised

Thanks, Duane, I find the easiest way to change an impeller on the Onan is to detach the two water pipes, undo the two bolts holding the pump to the engine and then you can fit a new impeller in the

We met a couple in Beaufort, NC who owned an Amel SM (I think it was a 2003) named Krow. I can't remember his name, but her name was Jane. They must be in their 70's. I thought it was worth

Hi All I just got a lead on a new Amel 50 I may be buying. Will need to sell my heavily renovated and upgraded 1986 Mango #66. Is anybody looking? I will need to put together a full list but here

I put a PDF in the Files section under Onan Information. The PDF is a set of photos of my overhaul of the water pump. With the Bearing Puller I have (bought from Harbor Freight) it really wasn't too
