Hi, Do you know which way to turn the adjusting nut on the actuator? Also what is the pressure supposed to be? Fair Winds Eric Amel Super Maramu #376 Kimberlite _____ From:

Hi Bill and Gary. Thanks for taking the time to try and help me sort this out. OK....Yes, I do pin the thruster when it is raised, although I have forgotten it a couple of times for just a few

Kent, Re: water in the boat Do you always pin the bow thruster in the UP position using the Amel-provided pin to secure the bow thruster, thereby squeezing the outer foam seals? Also, if you do not

Eric: When my boat was one month old, (SM # 335, 2001) I noticed that my hydraulic shaft brake was not actuating properly. Amel, sent a team to the Canary Islands to effect repairs under warranty.

Hmmmm. Kent, there must be something fundamentally wrong here. I think we have both sailed many of the same waters and it just doesn't seem right that I have had no trouble in this area and you seem

Hmmm. Have changed the seals (or had them changed) every year and its always leaked water into the boat. This is the first time I've had water in the oil. I'll try Erics silicone trick this

I am having trouble with the hydraulic shaft brake on my 100 hp yanmar. The brake shoes do not close completely and the shaft continues to spin. . To temporarily repair this I placed a block of wood

Hi, also remember to put tape between the tool and the bow thruster. This will prevent water from getting into the thruster when removing or installing it in the water. eric sm 376 kimberlite

I just received some seals from Amel The new foam seals for outside the boat are neoprene and inside the normal foam. It is very difficult to tell them apart. I use 2 seals outside and 2 inside. I

HI Kent: I have never had so much as a teaspoon of sea water come through the bow thruster seal in 15,000 sea miles. My boat is now 10 years old and I have changed those seals three times. Like all

I like the idea of a reminder, Chris.  Easy and effective.  After finding no seal between the motor and the trunk, I dropped the prop assembly out and found all three seals on the shaft.  It still

Hi John, I have recently done the same. With mine, there is a red wire that goes from the pressure switch at one end of the pump to the motor at the other end. That wire carries the positive but only

I put in a Jabsco veritable speed 4.5 gallons per minute. Very quiet, light weight,small, and uses very little amps. Its model no. 31755. The only problem is that I can't figure out how to wire it so

I would like to have more deatils and Specifications about your vessl. Where did you sail with her, Maintennens' Electronices, Keel,sails,autosteering Ext. If you can send some pictures inside and

Hi Luis, Could you please email me the specifics on your boat (as well as pictures). I am actively looking for the right Amel at the right price for our planned family

Hi John.  I didn't have any allen screws, just the bolts that fix the motor to the shaft.  I found some here and it's out without any problems.  I'm flying out today so dont have time to shop

I have a Mango since 1994. She is  perfect  condition, professional maintenence, and most of the esential parts are all new, eg.engine,generator, electricity,electronics,water pumps ... ready

Hello, I need to replace my 22 year old Feit pressure pump, Any experiences or opinions for the replacement? How high can I go in psi and gpm without taxing the system? Should I try to find a rebuild

Danny, The manual states "klaxton." But, I am sure that the manual was originally written in some other language and translated to English. The "klaxton" is definitely a thermo-switch that opens at
