Re: Elongated hole on conical coupling
I do not know what the factory originally did on my boat. Those bolts have been pulled out and reinstalled several times with the installation of new engine mounts, alignments and other maintenance

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Transmission problem,
That is the propeller shaft brake. When the engine is running, transmission oil pressure opens and releases the brake pads from the disk.
With the engine off, the brake pads close against the disk and

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Elongated hole on conical coupling
Craig and James,
Absolutely! Loose coupling bolts can do the same thing. I should have thought of that!
I'll add two more things to the excellent list of solutions that James posted: A second "jam"

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Elongated hole on conical coupling
Craig,
I agree with your post. I have also found that it is not uncommon to find loose coupling bolts and agree this is something to check on a regular basis. I have had good results using Nylocs

Re: Elongated hole on conical coupling
I'd add a fifth cause to Bill's excellent list, namely, the nuts having come loose. I've seen that on three boats, one with a nut actually missing. It's a good routine check to make and easily

Re: The mistery slick
Great to hear that the problem was one of the less expensive possibilities!
A good lesson to remember in diagnosis: If there is oil in the exhaust it MIGHT be coming from oil or fuel in the engine

Elongated hole on conical coupling
While re-aligning engine to C-Drive, one hole was found elongated. As the part is not available, the Yanmar dealer proposes drilling new holes, which sounds reasonable, but it'd be nice to know if

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Plastimo water outlet Amel 54
Hi Wolfgang,
Unfortunately I can’t answer your question as we are not in the boat, but I’m interested in the answer as ours is dripping too!
So maybe another 54 owner can have a quick look inside
