Servicing the Amel C-Drive

Details on how to service the C-drive on Amel sailboats. There is nothing new and dramatic in this, just the best practices. The C-Drive that Amel used on their cruising boats for decades was, and still is, a great drive train for a cruising boat. It is simple, robust, smooth-running and quiet. Like all parts of a boat it does take maintenance to keep it in good form. This video goes into detail about how to change the oil seals on the bottom end as required every 800 hours of engine operation. In addtion to the seals, proper alignment of the engine and drive train is key to keeping them happy.
