Bill, I never knew what was the original pump. I suspected it was not the Jabsco. Thanks, Pat

Danny, As far as can determine the foot valve is not leaking, however over a long time it may . I have tried to seal and clamp the hoses as tight as possible. It has always been unreliable

When we bought our Santorin the surveyor found the pump not to be working properly. In our early ignorance we had the pump removed and replaced with a Jabsco. Since joining the forum we have taken the

Thanks guys. This came up at the end of the day and i only quickly took a look at the transmission end. The cable was well secured. I suspected, as Bill Kinney points out, that there would be

In addition to Bill R.’s excellent suggestions, other great pumps which might be easier to source in the USA are the Paragon pumps by Groco, which is the same style bronze lob pump as the Amel

Mike, It is good news that the transmission shifts well by hand, delay in shifting can be caused by internal problems with the transmission. The following assumes you have a HBW-250

Hi mike. I drilled mine out and put a bolt through. I now have a nut top and bottom I lost a lot of sweat and blunted several drills in the process. If you can get a cobalt drill they cut stainless

I don't know if it was a factory install but I've seen an Amel 55 with two watt and sea units installed, one on each side. Cheers, James SM #344, SeaBean Las Palmas, Canary Islands

Mike, There are two cables running from the single arm Morse Throttle/Shifter. Each are independently adjustable in the engine room, near their termination points. It sounds to me as though the

I purchased one of the push button switches from the eBay link below. Unfortunately, the threads on the switch are too short to fit the windlass. Otherwise the switch looks the same but is plastic

Historically we have found that when shifting to forward the transmission barely engages before the throttle advances the RPM. Yesterday the transmission did not engage without manually pushing the

As others may have experienced with removing the windlass from the deck, 3 of the 4 bolts were easily removed. The aft starboard bolt is threaded into the deck (no visible nut and probably into a

David, Since your original posting I have done some more research. My guess is that TF Marine in Italy has taken to business that A.M.F.A. Pompe used to enjoy. http://www.xtlmarine.ae/tf-marine/ I

Pat, I think all SN's, SM's 54's and 55's came with the Reya/AMFA Marina Pump to pump out the gray water sump.

Good morning Pat, My Super Maramu 2000 came with the AMFA Marina ZZ bilge pump. http://nikimat.com/bilge_pump_electric_amfa_marina_zz.html But if I were you, I would put what Francisco and Oddette

I have a Jabsco sump pump and have found it unreliable . The motor works fine , I have replaced everything and it still fails to pump water from the bilge every time. I have replaced the joker and

Shaft alternators for SM are currently no more available at Amel. It's also quite complex to setup from other sources. May I suggest a great and modern solution I've installed on our SM2K. I'm very
