Re: Beam IV : A55 # 9 rudder gland access
Hi Stuart, on my boat you can turn the large nut with the Amel spanner without removing the quadrant. The plate on my boat (circled in red) is just to lock the nut in place - it presses against one

Re: B&G H3000 & B&G H5000 Amel 54 and Amel 55
Paul,
As recently as 4 months ago a member of this group purchased new Sonic Speed sensors. I believe what happened is that B&G stopped producing them about 5 or 6 years ago, then somehow, a supply

Bill,
As I understand, B&G no longer support the Sonic Speed, and neither do A+T Instruments. This being the case, is there a recommended alternative system? I did hear of a combined forward

Amel 54 and Amel 55 owners with B&G H3000 or H5000:
Did you know that if your B&G Sonic Speed fails, there is a user-programmable setting in the H3000 & H5000 processor to use SOG from your GPS

Re: Beam IV : A55 # 9 rudder gland access
Hi Stuart,
I do not know how your rudder stock is configured as Kimberlite is a 53.
If is like mine….
The nut on my quadrant is about 60 mm.
If I had a wrench on board that size it would not fit

Re: Beam IV : A55 # 9 rudder gland access
Stuart,
The last time I did this on a 55, I removed the quadrant because it was easier to do with the quadrant removed. I believe you might be able to do it without the removal, but that will depend

Beam IV : A55 # 9 rudder gland access
Hello Jorg,
Thank you very much for your reply with photograph.
We have the large Amel spanner but no inspection plate...
Do we have to remove the quadrant and it’s connections to access the rudder

Hi Daniel,
I removed the inspection port about 10 years ago. I used a truck inner tube as the material to make a new gasket. I have had no problems since. I opened the tank because there was debris

Re: Yanmar 4JH3-HTE Fresh Water Pump Replacement
Hi Dan,
Others have commented that you should be fine with what you've got plus, perhaps, some sheet gasket material. Under your #3 though - tricks, traps or learnings - I'd add to be sure to replace

Dan,
Where did you get the pump from? There are sheets of gasket material and a O Ring making kit at the same source as the pump. 🙄
