Hi guys, having pulled the top of my C drive apart to replace a shaft, when you replace the lip seal, it has a mating wear bushing in steel that also acts as the spacer to tension up the bearings. I

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Oil leak on the "c" drive
Paul,
The big hose that connects from the C drive to the hull is open to the sea. Be careful if you play with that.

Viking propane cylinder
We habe to chnage our camping gaz cylinders now when in USA. I like the Viking see through cylinders in kevlar.
The 17 lb should not be any problem to fit in the standard gas locker in our SM, but

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Oil leak on the "c" drive
Thank you
We have eliminated the oil from the engine, which was my first choice of source. We do have to fill more oil on the reservoir above after ca 100 h.
Will see if the allen screws are all

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Oil leak on the "c" drive
Mark,
I agree completely.
AND, the C Drive oil expands when the C Drive reaches operating temperature. Check to make sure that the cap on the oil reservoir is breathing to allow for expansion and

Hi Paul,
A couple ofthoughts on this:
Any oil thatleaks from the engine area will drain and accumulate on the aft side of therubber housing on the c-drive. First, I think I would use a paper

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Washing machine replacement on AMEL54
European washing machines seem to be of standard dimensions, more or less.
The first Hotpoint machine I find at www.currys.co.uk (one of the UK's
major retailers) is described as 850 x 595 x 577 mm

For those of you who have taken your gearboxes apart, how much wear is too much wear on the bronze teeth, and if necessary, has anyone managed to find a replacement?
