Hi Kent, When you finally get the shaft. I would suggest you take a few thousands of an inch off the keyway, both in height and width. Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

I don’t have stripped threads...yet. Not sure what I’d do with a helicoil??? Kent

Thank you all who responded. I’m thinking of fashioning a “pusher” tool that would have plates with holes in them. The upper plate would fit over the line handler on top of the boom. The

Hello fellow Amel owners, I was surprised to see a salt water drip, actually quite a big drip from the aft end of my Onan generator. With only 80 hours on it! There is a small pin hole on the weld but

Jean-Luc, I have seen the same issue today....it doesn't hold, even though I tested at the dock, with water and re-tensioning, all seemed OK. I already ordered a set of stainless pulleys from Mark
