Re: Main furling motor and gear on 54
Hi guys,
I am leaving it overnight soaking in diesel. I tried a puller earlier to push out the shaft but nada.
Tomorrow I will apply heat and the puller. If that fails I guess it will need a press.

Re: Super Maramu Repower
I believe the Beta 85 is the best engine to repower the SM or 54. There are lots of reasons...here are a few:
Beta understands the isolated ground
Beta 85 is Kubota powered
Beta 85 has no computer and

Re: Chesapeake Haul and Bottom Paint Recommendations
Hi Paul,
It may give you more choices in yards not to limit it to soda blasting as conventional sand blasting is fine on the keel, masking off adjacent fiberglass,

Paul,
Saw your message and shot you an email.
FYI, my wife Denise grew up on City Island. She lived on Early Street and was friends with the Ulmer family who ran the Ulmer Sails sail loft before

Bert Jabins is also a very good spot. They have handled quite a few Amels; Harmonie, Delos, and a few others.

Chesapeake Haul and Bottom Paint Recommendations
Good day all,
We need to haul the RK in the near future for an insurance survey and while out we want to repaint the bottom. In case we need to re-epoxy the cast iron keel this time around, I want to

You need a Puller it's much safer
but if push comes to shove I hammered mine out with a blank and mini sledge

Main furling motor and gear on 54

It is all well but the top shaft seal should be replaced.

Re: Bilge pump
Alexis,
I'm not sure how the routing is for the SM but in the 54 the drain pipe for the primary pump goes in a curve up and then down to the central drain-hose that also connects the manual bilgepump,

Re: Bilge pump
Yes that’s right, close the seacock for a while with the fridge running, so it fills the manifold. Careful not to keep it closed too long though.

Re: Bilge pump
Indeed Arno, this flap is not in a proper shape anymore, and is likely to create an air leak.
About your second pump, you connected the out hose to the primary one with something like a T junction?

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.
