Hello, We are sailing in Costa Esmeralda (Sardaigne, Italy), Yesterday, the autopilot Autohelm ST7000 stop working and shows "Low Battery" on the screen. Does someone knows what the problem could

Bill, I just need to get all three of the bearings out and replace them.When I determine the sizes I will post them in case anyone wants to have them on hand.

Pat, I realized that I had some drawings that could have helped you. See the 3 drawings at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/amelyachtowners/photos/album/1587075684/pic/list This drawing shows an early

I thought the screws were to be found in the back plate.After all paint was sanded off and no screws or filler to be found, I noticed a small bump under the paint on the side of the housing.In a few

Steve , A few years ago I took some measurement and found I could saw an inch or so off the bottom of the slider. The slider then was able to drop down further, which meant we did not have to step

Joel, Yes, John given me the info I needed. I saw no indication of screws and was thinking of pressing the shaft out ,thinking the plate may just be pressed in . Iam glad I posted before I pressed.

John, So there is filler hiding the screw heads.I guess that keeps water from migrating along the screws and into the unit.I think my bearing is badly worn from salt water intrusion,it has always

Hi Pat. The information John and Eric gave is right on the money. I would guess you are a craftsman who measures three times and cuts once… A little more elbow grease and you will find the screws.

Ann& John, Thank you for get back to me. I scraped the back plate there was no signs of screws. I will scrape it further, assuming all bottom paint is removed should the screws be visible?

I have found it a very good space for my guide dog (I am partially sighted) – I built a low front in plywood and an a false floor and he is very well tucked away there and is very happy with

Hello Pat,It is very simple, imagine a X on the back plate, the concealed screws are near the ends of the X. Clean out the filling, unscrew and tap the drive shaft to push out the cover plate. When

There are a few screws under the paint and some putty. Look in the back of the manuals-there is a diagram of the thruster there. It is a very tight fit. Fair Winds Eric Amel Super Maramu #376

You guys are going to like this one. I've just had my companionway slider removed and the veneer replaced without having to remove the dodger.  A carpenter here in Grenada took a look at it and in

Hi John, Thanks for the info.  I'm very interested in replacing at least the helm seat with one that has height adjustments, and will probably replace the nav seat while I'm at it.  The original

Pat I have drawing on board. I will be back on board Sat PM will call you from the boat. Regards Richard Piller Cell 603 767 5330

I have a lot of play in the shaft of my bowthruster. I am sure I need to replace the bearings. I assume I need to remove the back plate to access the bearings. The plate is flush, no screws, Iam

Thanks Kent and Eric, for the advice, of course I'll paint the hull a few days before going to the water. I guess that 2 gallions might be enough for one coat on the maramu. Jean-Paul

Very nice!  I think I'll do something similar on KRISTY.  That space never gets used on our boat either. Kent SM243 Kent ________________________________ To: amelyachtowners@... Sent:
