Flexible couple for 54 bow thruster

Nick Newington
 

Scott,

Thanks for the confirmation re coupling.

I am buying it to have for my planned November project to drop the BT and replace the seals, as it appears likely that the old will break in that process. I guess, seeing as it is a coupling designed to sheer, I should order two….

Re 8mm thick lip seal. That will fit I am pretty sure.

Re the high pressure hose. If it is not leaking badly, I would wrap a rag around it until you get back to somewhere with a hydraulic shop. In theory those fittings can be reused but ……if you can not get it to seal then you could have a big mess in the engine room.

You are correct. I've had to replace mine.

Your part number is for the 1 piece coupling and that should work perfectly. Are you buying it as a spare or pro-actively replacing it?

I am making sure that I have everything I need for a Bow-thruster drop and seal change. The only item yet to get is a spare  sacrificial coupling. I have tried to work out the part number but it looks like Amel bought the SE155 and then adapted it to a retractable unit. If that is the case then part number 71463 from Sleipner should be correct. 

Can anyone confirm?

Kind regards
