Si colocas un hilo de acero inox entre soporte elice de proa y la elice, en caso de rotura tornillos quedaria colgando de su soporte

Great job Woody. You need to get a pair of "marriage savers" (wireless (often Motorcycle) headsets) for jobs like that! Darry is getting really talented with the music soundtracks. I found myself tapping my foot on each one.

I keep thinking about those headphones but as soon as the kids see them.. they’ll be gone!

[@fransdriesen1311]

Los motores electricos deben desarmarse y sustituir escobillas tras años de uso, limpiar delgas colector inducido Y lijar el colector Desarmar rodamiento y sustituirlos Pintar con laca bobinados para evitar sulfataciones en sus conductores En ese motor, como en todos los electricos de 24 o 12 voltios, y 220 tenga la embarcacion

Los rodamientos han estado en contacto con agua salada, es mejor cambiarlos ya que se oxidaran

[@MothershipMaintenance]

I change the oil and inspect them every year and so far they've been working fine. Do you know the specs of the bearings Antonio?

Love these mainteance vlogs , is it hard to get Amel parts with your boat being ....well not as young as some of the newer Amels ? ....Keep it up .

[@MothershipMaintenance]

It depends what part it is. On the whole Amel are still pretty good at supplying many parts for the SM’s. Some parts like the furlers however were made by a subcontractor and are now discontinued.

[@charliekopp443]

Thank you for this! I have SM #50 (1991) and I’ll be doing a service on my bow thruster soon. Can you tell me what’s the black goop you’re using? Is it grease or more of a sealant?

[@MothershipMaintenance]

Do you mean the antifoul? I sealed the joints with sikaflex first then coated antifoul over the whole thing afterwards.. it was a bit gloopy!

[@charliekopp443]

I guess it’s the Sikaflex. Came out of a tube. Thanks for the reply!

[@jeff99williams]

@@MothershipMaintenance I think he meant the marine grease?

Con un electrodo de inox de 1,5mm o 2mm seria suficiente
