[Amel Yacht Owners] Capacity AMFA Bilge Pump???
|
The electric pump is rated 30 GMP (115 Liters/minute) at a height of 2.5 meters.
Sorry, I do not know the rating of the manual pump – I guess it depends on how fast you can move the lever J
With best regards,

Hello! Does anyone know the capacity of the AMFA Bilge pump, and the manual bilge pump? One of the insurance companies that we got a quote from , demand combined capacity of minimum 95 l/min. Most pumps capacities are usually rated at no lifting height at all, have not measured the total lifting height yet , but guess more close to 1.5- 2 meter which has a substantial impact on capacity.

I was under the impression the original model bilge pump is rated for 30 litres/minute (7.9 gal/minute).

You are correct. I looked again. I must have messed something up in the Google translation.

I have the Jabsco 50890-1100 waste pump as a spare. It is 24v, self priming to 3m, and pumps 19 lpm. I have not tried it yet. It is available in the US and Europe.

The manual pump is rated at 75 liters/minute. Paul, I had this issue with Velos Insurance. They wanted a "bilge" pump at a higher rating than either the automatic, or the manual. I explained to them the watertight compartments and the fact that the total if the two pumps was greater than their "rule." They ok'd the SUPER MARAMU based on watertight compartments and the standard pumps. And, BTW, I assume that Mark is correct, but I told Velos that each pump was rated at 75 liters. Bill Rouse

I got the demand from Topsail Insurance, but I don't know if they understand that l/h rating is one thing, but reality is an other dependent on lifting height, strainer etc. they wanted the combined capacity to be 95 l/min Paul on S/Y Kerpa SM#259

Paul, I have received quotes from Topsail twice. When I carefully read their policy, I decided not to use them. I have forgotten the specific reasons, and maybe something has changed. I did notice the 25 gallon/minute requirement and the rigging less than 10 years old. The pump requirement was only that this existed and was working. There was nothing about automatic. The rigging requirement had an exception written in their quote if you presented them with a rigging inspection. The following are the conditions in my Topsail Quote: I wondered about the failure of components mentioned above. As example: Would you not be in compliance if the autopilot failed in the middle of the ocean? The agent quoting me did not give me a clear answer. Hope this helps you. Bill Rouse

If you need a bilge pump for security, emergency reasons or to qualify for the insurance look for Honda WX 15 waterpump. Works with fuel and pumps 150 - 1000 liter per minute. If a watertight compartment is flooded you use it from the deck via hatches. Wolfgang Weber SY Elise Amel 54 #162 -------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: "osterberg.paul.l@...

I also need to replace my FEIT Bilge pump. Is the concensus that it should be replaced with the model AMFA 66B 24v or PVM 0.16 with 26 L/m? Has anyone used a larger capacity model that fits?

The AMFA 66B is a fresh water pump. Bill Rouse
