Preventative Maintenance on Injectors

Just as a reference point, our beta engine manual recommends injector service every 1500hrs. Clean and reset injection pressure.

Starlink Roam issues in the ocean

Had this happen to us when I decided to stow while sailing at sea. Slow (less than 2 knots) and level the boat out then unstow.

Starlink

Look at the coverage map. If your anchorages or moorings are in the blue tiles the 150 roam plan will work.

Lots of us us the cheaper 150 plan and toggle on the priority data for 2$/gb when...

Any Westerbeke 3 Cylinder Folks Out There?

NJ Wind Farm Approved

Look where it is. Cape May to NYC your likely inside of it. Cape May to Block your outside of it.

Looks positioned to avoid most marine traffic.

Re: why so many broken ring lands on yanmars?

The #3 is the furthest back and sits lower. It’s also the first to fill with water from faulty exhaust.

Re: Anticipated life-span of submerged outboard

Re: Best Chinese Diesel Heaters with Links - 2023

Most issues are a result of improper installation.

Design is pretty solid, a copy of the Espar D2/D4.

Just taking a look at the layout of the boat, there is a lot of storage and quarter berth on starboard side, make sure it’s not full of heavy items. Maybe transfer some to the port side.

I have had a lot of outboards 2-50hp 2 and 4 stroke.
