[Amel] SM 24v Bilge Pump

Richard Piller <richard03801@...>
Mike thanks for the note. I think at based on the 12 GPM of the new pump or 60
times that it makes for a better bilge pump. My original fail after 11 year not a bad run. But we were not able to find replacement parts here in the States. We found what looked like a good replacement in Vetus however they too seem to have issues with the diaphragm pumps as well.

Mine has been on my Santorin for 20 years, and is getting close to it's "sell by" date. As an aside, I have found that truck tyre inner tubes make perfect diaphragm's if you have a problem miles from anywhere.

So we installed a reducer on the line going overboard. The macerator pump runs at well over 8 gallons per min. by far faster and using less power then the previous pump (s). Second I can hear it start up and run it may be not as Amel but I know when the bilge pump in on and I kinda like that. It's worked well and draws without issue. For us it's a very big improvement. We spent a lot of money and time before we got to this point...

The flapper valves on the intake and output sides of the pump were attached to the inside of the pump head by screws that have rusted completely off, making it impossible to replace with new ones. I think I will need to get a new head for the pump but there are no identifying marks on the pump except "PAM" printed on a sticker on the pump head. I believe this is a Sandvik pump, but cant find it searching the web. Can anyone tell me what brand and model pump it should be on SM243? Has anyone replaced this pump with another brand and if so how much of a problem was it to mount in the engine room? Has anyone had the same problem with this pump and do you have suggestions for how to repair it? Thanks as always for your replies.

Thank you, gentlemen. I just got your replies after I posted again with ?'s about the water heater. Richard, I'm amazed that the macerator pump will self prime the 5 ft or so from the bottom of the intake to the pump. How long have you been using that one? Thanks for the info, Barry. Here's the link to the Scandvik website on this pump http://www.scandvik.com/index.cfm/method/Shopping_Products/CatId/1/ID/793.htm .
It looks like they're in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Chris, I don't think you can attach files to posts on this site, so I didn't get your exploded view of the pump. Can you send it directly to me at karkauai at yahoo dot com or post it in files or photos sections? Thanks. Again, thanks and happy holidays. Kent SM243 KRISTY
