Re: propeller/engine vibration
Hi Giovanni,
I do not have a photo because it is not visible. It is sealed with a black silicone sealant at the base of the C drive at the keel. It looks like a black silicone circle about 25-30 mm

Re: propeller/engine vibration
Check that the prop is clean and also take note - when was the last time you greased it? You can lubricate the prop without a haul out if you think it through. We had a similar situation and after

Re: propeller/engine vibration
Craig,
I usually look up the torque specifications for the bolt if I want it really tight.
Most times just tight to my touch with a wrench or socket.
I recall looking up the torque for the C drive

Re: propeller/engine vibration
Eric - is there a spec for the lbf (or N-m) to torque it to?
I just snug it with a socket wrench between "pretty tight and really tight" - seems fine.
My propeller, on the other hand, does specify 60

Re: propeller/engine vibration
If you notice that the mastic is domed and not flat where the c drive is fastened to the Keel then you definitely have to remove the mastic clean up the area and clean the bolt. Make sure to apply

Re: MANGO folding Table
Have you seen the Lugun table bracket. We have one on our Mango. They are brilliant, and can be easily removed or just swivelled out of the way.

I believe Eric is referring to using bolts and nuts to push it off.

Re: Vetus Coupling - When to Service and Replace Rubber Donuts - Warning
Didier just replaced the coupling on my Amel 54. One of the bolt heads on the shaft brake sheared off leaving just the bolt behind. Luckily it did not come out completely, as that would have destroyed

Re: propeller/engine vibration
There should be a stud/nut and possibly a bushing under that mastic on the bottom of the C-DRIVE. This stabilizes the C-DRIVE from any twisting due to thrust. Inspect it by removing the mastic.

Hello again,
When we were in Le Marin, we had a bunch of work done on our genoa furler -- Amel rebuilt the gearbox, Caraibe Greement replaced the forestay, etc. One of the things Amel did (unasked)
