| running diesel engines at slip
Lots of reasons, we haven't move much this season. Basically the boat needs some work that we can't afford yet. At the same time though I want to make sure my engines are being run regularly and in good condition. My engine mechanic suggested running them once a week, for 30 minutes in slow forward against the dock lines. It sounds like good advice. I also heard that running engines at low speeds would tend to glaze the engines (don't really know the correct term). These are yanmar 3JH3E 40Hp engines.
