AMFA bilge pump gear sprocket broken


Barry Connor
 

Hi All,
Can anyone advise me how to get and repair the gear sprocket in the AMFA bilge pump on my Amel 54.
When the pump stopped working I thought it was needing the service kit, I replaced all the inner parts but then discovered that the gear sprocket had broken. The 24v electric motor is running fine. Can this nylon/plastic part be obtained and replaced?

Best Regards

That nylon gear seems to be the weakest part in that pump. 
When ours failed in New Caledonia 2 years ago, we replaced it with a Johnson Viking 32 and bought spares with it.

Hi Barry and Penny,
You can get a replacement from. al Meekens at gearsmade.com.He can make it in plastic, like the original, or you can choose metal. You may also be able to fix it yourself. My repair job has lasted 10+ years and still going strong. Search my earlier posts for how to do it
