Thank you for everyones input. I followed the same repair that Thomas made and it works like a charm! Actually its pumping faster and better than it ever has since we owned the boat. This is a

Thanks you too all who contributed to assisting me with this project. Just a few notes here to possibly help others dealing with this project in the future. To clean the rudder post of rust and salt

Woah - that’s crazy. Somethings definitely not right and Amel wiring it up in a way that voided the warrenty seems also crazy... if you’re the original owner that definitely feels like a

Atten. Of Joerg Esdorn, Joerg, I know that your boat is one of the later production versions and I’d like to ask if you have details of the battery arrangement on your boat. Do you have

Hi Jeff, Do you have the forced air system on Spirit? It sue was cold North of the stream this year wasn’t it? If you recall we use the commercial Nauta fuel tank with the fittings installed.

Hi, The nylon gear and the shaft assembly is available from Amel. I got mine in 2 days. Fair Winds Eric Amel Super Maramu #376

Thomas, I managed to get the whole clutch taken out finally. You can see the gap in the nylon gear. I do have an entire spare pump (although the motor shaft is snapped in half) so I am hoping to

We had a few problems with our Henderson Mk 5 bulge pump recently and the trouble shooting brought up the usual suspects like torn diaphragm and leaky valves but also leaky screw holes and a dislodged

Hello fellow Amelians, Does anyone have a dimensioned drawing of the cross section of the SM mizzen mast ? I want to 3D print some spacers in order to mount a small box with an air horn and compressor

I guess you have a spare for the whole clutch (meaning the aluminum wheel and plastic gear ring). This assembly is held in the gearbox housing by a cir-clips. See picture attached. Hope it

After a little more research on this forum it appears the break in the nylon gear is not supposed to be there and probably causing slippage. Does anyone know the easiest way to remove the white

Thomas, I just took off the face of the gearbox to have a look at the clutch. It appears that there is one "break" in the white plastic gear. I noticed that you had two breaks in yours. Did you

Hi everyone, thank you for the information. I have sealed and coated everything (two halves, main cover, flapper valves, inlet and outlet hoses) with a generous amount silicone grease, the

Hi; Another issue may be the backflow preventer valve at the intake part of the hose. These have rubber flaps in them that dry our over time. As they get worse, more and more water drains back
