Mizzen mast drawing
Hello fellow Amelians,
Does anyone have a dimensioned drawing of the cross section of the SM mizzen mast ?
I want to 3D print some spacers in order to mount a small box with an air horn and compressor

Re: A54 bilge pump problems...
I guess you have a spare for the whole clutch (meaning the aluminum wheel and plastic gear ring). This assembly is held in the gearbox housing by a cir-clips. See picture attached.
Hope it

Re: A54 bilge pump problems...
After a little more research on this forum it appears the break in the nylon gear is not supposed to be there and probably causing slippage.
Does anyone know the easiest way to remove the white

Re: A54 bilge pump problems...
Thomas,
I just took off the face of the gearbox to have a look at the clutch. It appears that there is one "break" in the white plastic gear. I noticed that you had two breaks in yours. Did you

Re: A54 bilge pump problems...
Hi;
Another issue may be the backflow preventer valve at the intake part of the hose. These have rubber flaps in them that dry our over time. As they get worse, more and more water drains back

Re: A54 bilge pump problems...
Chris,
It’s unlikely to be the problem (otherwise your professionals would have found it), but if you find that the motor/gearbox emits a click noise on every turn and diaphragm action looks jerky,

Re: Any SM owners use a Beta engine??
The fuel filters are mounted in a position that is a little uncomfortable to access for a good reason. When positioned as God and Henri Amel wished, the filters will almost always be below the fuel

Re: A54 bilge pump problems...
Chris,
The most common issue with this pump is a vacuum side leak. I am sure this is what you have. Usually, no leaking water is visible with a vacuum leak large enough to stop the pump from

Re: Any SM owners use a Beta engine??
Thanks Dan, I have sent those photographs to the fitter. He really seems now to have got on top of this job so I am more confident that it will go well.
I can see that you have moved the fuel filter
