Eloi, This was made originally by Alban LEROY with Amel in Martinique. It has been made by more than one of my clients using a local machine shop. If you noticed this card in the file I previously

Pat, does the box need to be electrically isolated from the engine? No, it does not.

Hello Bill, As You know, I own your great book. At the moment I only have a jaw puller. Where can I buy one of those axel pullers, I didn`t find anything similar. regards, Eloi

Bill, So the box does not need to be isolated ,good to know. I will then order the bushings. Thanks, Pat

Kent , They don't state if the bolts go all the way thru , my concern is or my question is , does the box need to be electrically isolated from the engine? It has been very hot and humid for weeks

Yes. The following file is from my Amel Book Supplemental Files, and is what will make that job simple: Main Outhaul & Furling Service Custom Gearbox S... This is another puller that will also work.

Hello, My main outhaul gearbox looks rather "used". I tried to remove the shaft to replace it. But it seems impossible with my straight jaw puller. I put on the max force I can but it doesn't move.

John Hayes Good point regarding their controller being the problem…will check it out once again. Silent Wind was all the rage a few years ago when I bought mine. I certainly wasn’t being

Pat, Those studs are for vibration isolation. They do isolate electrically, but that is incidental. Like you we replaced ours when the old ones gave up. The studs do not connect through. Bill

Hi I was in Italy last month and ordered parts from a lofrans dealer shop ZANCA. I texted him via this number on whatsapp +39 380 636 2006 . They have almost all parts available and shipping arrived

Gregory, Not everyone knows that you have an Amel 54. And, not all Amel 54s have the motor that you have. A54 #172 was built late in the production of the 54 and has the same furling motor as A55s.
