Re: BOW THRUSTER PROP
Dan,
The nylon prop screws hold the prop on the prop hub which has a
stainless pin that goes through the prop shaft. After you remove the
(old) screws and the prop, you should press the pin out and

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Forward bildge water
Thanks, Ian;
Since putting in the bowthruster pin I've noticed no more water. But
I've just been at dock. We'll see what happens next time I go
sailing. I also plan to change the bowthruster seals

Has any owner found a European sailmaker marketing anything similar

I adjusted the cables and motor so that the hole lines up and that the seals

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Forward bilge water

Is the water oily that is in the bilge?
What is the year of your boat?
Is it a super Maramu?
The owners’ manual will not help you to change the bow thruster seals.
Maybe I can help
