Are those o rings or lip seals? Fair Winds Eric Amel Super Maramu #376 Kimberlite _____ From: amelyachtowners@... [mailto:amelyachtowners@...] On Behalf Of Judy

Eric & Bill, Thanks for the suggestions. The big O ring in the picture is a flat sort of seal (sorry about the picture quality) and I don't think it would the aft emergency rudder plug. I've got

Hi all, I have posted two photos - one showing the oil resevoir which is loosing oil taking SAE15-40 - which feeds into what we call in Australia a hotbox (dogbox). All the lines seem to be okay but

NO, Under the main engine (on Cottonbay the Volvo TMD22) there are 4 big rubber parts, This parts (from VETUS) are under the engine to reduce noise and vibration, the to front blocs are very solicited

Among the spare parts that were on our boat when we purchased it were what appear to be 2 seal kits. After several years, this is one of the last things that we are unsure the purpose of. Can

John, It would be helpful if you could post the LeroySomer model number for the gearbox and the gear. Bill BeBe Currently Athens, Greece

Kent,     All mine are manual, but it is a good thing to have DC motors checked every 10 years or so    The carbon brushes gradually wear away, and leave a residue of carbon on the commutator.

Hi Mark and Eric, If all else fails, or if you don't mind the expense but are short of time, you can do what Amel did for us in Guadeloupe, namely to take a hacksaw to

Hi Eric, The gearbox can be bought via the UK, see my post No 8768. I seem to recall a much earlier message saying that the cost from Amel was about $2000. I got the details of the UK Agent for Leroy

1. I suppose it is NOT cavitation (you are at more 50cm under the water line and no noise over 2300 rpm) 2. Have you checked the status of silent-block ? JLuc CottonBay sm316

Hi Kent: The pawls and springs are the same for all winches on our SM. The crescent keys are the same for all winches as well. I found these crescent keys at Island Water World in St. Georges,

Hi, Someone sent me a private email interested in buying a used Amel in the NY area. One is coming on the market soon. I believe it is a super Maramu about 1998. It is located in Huntington, Long
