The rust is normal and the pitting does not look terrible. The exhaust housing is made from cast iron so it will start the rust the second you stop cleaning it unless you coat it with something. I wou

Guillaume, My AMFA Marina electric sump pump stopped working just this past weekend. I removed it from the engine room and took it apart and found that one of the two (2) diaphragms inside has failed

Re-attaching the exploded assembly drawing for the AMFA Marina/TF Marine TM 50 electric sump pump since it did not seem to attach to my previous post!

Eric, There certainly could be given how long the pump appears to have been in production. This is what my pump looks like: Here is the ID plate on the pump: And here is the crank that drives the diap

Mike, I would choose the paint. The gearboxes are likely made from cast aluminum which tends to oxidize much faster than extruded aluminum does. It also gets that unsightly white, chalky, aluminum oxi

Phillipe, The bumper is held in place by four (4) M8 bolts that are molded into the bumper. You can see the four mounting holes for the bumper bolts in the picture below: You access the nuts from the

Ian, I'm 99% sure it's M20 x 2.5 thread pitch.

Oops. I replied with the drain plug size/thread pitch. Unfortunately, I don't have any record of the o-ring size.

Jim, That's because there really is no one definitive list. Although there was a definitive name change to Super Maramu 2000, some of the design changes were made BEFORE the name change and some were

Trey, Congratulations on the purchase and welcome to the Amel cult family! I'm replacing my rigging this winter as well and I am strongly considering taking the masts down to replace it so I have been

Eric, This programmable timer is very similar if not identical to the one that Bill Rouse has posted about using for this purpose: http://www.ebay.com/itm/224040425984 You also need a 24vdc solenoid l

Eric, It's appears to have a 16amp switch but you never really know with a ~$9 eBay timer. If you are concerned, you could always have the timer control a relay and have the relay control the pump.

Eric, I didn't really see it specified anywhere in the eBay listing but if you scroll through the pictures you will see a schematic showing a 16amp switch. It also looks to be identical to this timer

Does anyone know the correct size shackle to fit the spinnaker halyard bracket on the main mast on the SM? It's the shackle circled in the picture below: Thanks, Mark

Chris, I guess you are the SM owner that I met at Bert Jabin's that had his masts down. If you ever need any pics of your masts I have a ton of them. Just ask me. ;)

This will not likely have a trickle down effect for marine batteries anytime soon. The key differentiator for Apple is the "monocell" cell design, not the LFP chemistry. It's their way of trying to ma

Dan, I had the same issue when I bought Cara. It turned out to be a pinhole leak where the bracket was spot welded to the tank. I had my fabricator fix the leak but another leak popped up right away s

Paul, Changing the C-Drive mounts is quite straightforward and pretty much exactly as Craig describes. See the picture below: Remove the nuts circled in Red above from the mounting studs. Then remove

Billy, This thread has some great "real world" solar data in it: https://amelyachtowners.groups.io/g/main/topic/32721714 Pay particular attention to the posts by Scott from Tengah (Amel 54) and Porter

For what it's worth, it looks like Amel changed the forestay chainplate design for the Super Maramu. Our forestay chainplate is one solid piece of stainless steel:
