Ampair 100 Generator Parts

[davbaker]

I'm not able to find any parts for the Ampair wind generator on the boat. I found one site and attempted to order there, but they cancelled my order because they actually didn't have the parts and quit working with Ampair. I'm not quite sure if Ampair is still in business. The blades are frozen, so I need new bearings and seal. Does anyone know where I might find these? Thanks

Marine Warehouse has bearings not sure what year yours is or if the newer models have the same bearings. Also if you remove the bearings and take a measurement or get the specs, you should be able to find replacements that way. When I replaced mine I ground down the head of a bolt till it was thin and I could hook under the bearing that was in the back and slowly pry it up. I did mine years ago and I'm pretty sure I got them off eBay.

Unfortunately, Marine Warehouse is the one who responded back that they have no more parts for Ampair, even though the website shows otherwise. I’ll keep checking eBay. Thanks for responding.

I’m pretty sure I can get bearings the way you suggested. The dark is a big concern to me.
