Re: Bilge pump
Thanks a lot Danny, interesting way to solve it, will keep that in mind. I just remember the hose was really hard to move and manipulate, not very flexible.

Re: Bilge pump
Thx Paul. this said, it sounds like a different issue as my pump was working well for many days and suddenly stopped. But maybe your procedure would solve it the same way.
What do you mean filling

Re: Anchor chain counter
Hi Paul,
It is a simple reed contact, example Meeder. Costs like 99 cents. Better order some spare, as the windlass is quite exposed to saltwater. When connected to the wire, dip it in sikkaflex or

Re: Anchor chain counter
Yes, the 54 and SM are different in terms of chain counters. I’m pretty sure the SM “button” on the windlass is not magnetic, the proximity sensor only requires a metal counter.

Hello Mark and Nicky,

Re: Super Maramu Repower
A little over a year ago we re-powered Feierabend with a Beta 85 from the original Perkins M80T. Now we use less fuel, get significantly more torque, and have a quieter ride when we have to motor.

Re: Sore head?
I have done something very similar to what Gary posted, actually got the idea from Gary when I ran across him at Cape Charles, however, I bought two swim noodles and put it across the entire area.

Re: Bilge pump
Hi Alexis,
If your pump is anything like the one on a A54 then the main weak-spot of this pump are the valves. These are flat flappy discs with one straight edge where it is clamped to the body. These

Re: Anchor chain counter
Hello Paul. The Amel 54 uses a vertical capstan Lewmar windlass with an integral chain counter as part of the system. It is entirely different than the Pouchon supplied counter on the Lofrans
