Wishin boats weren't a pain

[niggle]

As I reported my leg went bang Sunday ,Cobbs were great and boat out first thing Monday so with my spare leg in the boot of my car I went down after work with Chris and my friend Pete and put it on.

At 7 pm back in the water and out through the harbour with Chris so far so good,opened her up once outside......great then in Studland bay I was turning round to go back and loss of drive......bu@@er.

Turned her off for a while tried again had drive? After a short distance gone again,this happened several times but in the end with the incoming tide we managed to do 6 knots without any loss of drive and got back to Cobbs where she will have to be lifted again!!!

I think it's either the leg oil filter blocking or in leg oil pressure relief valve sticking as both can give these symptoms.

Boats love them,hate them when they play up

[Rob]

Would the problem follow the leg swap? Or is the oil filter and relief valve external and reused?

 

Ruddy annoying!

[niggle]

Filter and relief valve are in leg

[Maverick Martin]

Feel for you Nige good luck in sorting it

[Wight Magic]

Sounds like you're legless

[Jim]

Hope you get it sorted quick Nige.

[niggle]

Sounds like you're legless

Thanks Dave. Something that rhymes with sock comes to mind

[Wight Magic]

Thanks mate it's nice of you to think I am a rock

[niggle]

Thanks mate it's nice of you to think I am a rock

Try again

Clue it's also not block or clock

[gjb]

they are worth a lot of money a block clock 

[Oli]

Bad luck Nigel hope you're back up and running ASAP

[Leicester Fisheagle]

Your having some hard luck, hope it gets sorted soon and not too expensive.

 

Allan.

[ChrisE]

Male chicken! It's a bugger when the boat goes tits up. Hope you're soon out there. The Needles cod must be just around the corner ....

[Stuie]

That'll be 'frock' then Nige.

Good luck.

[niggle]

Hopefully sorted,as my leg is hydraulic driven checked main filter and relief valve and all ok

But found the oil pump control lever 5mm out of adjustment.......so wasn't giving drive full oil delivery.......fingers crossed that's it.

So new oil and rebuilt and a test after work tomorrow.........hopefully won't require sea start

[sparky]

Good Luck  

[Jim]

Good Luck  

 

Ditto Nige

Bad luck Nigel

Hope the adjustment solves the problem

Tony

 

PS are you coming over to Weymouth at the weekend

[rich185]

Good luck nigel, hope all goes well.

[Steve S]

Hope alls well second time around. Better take the rods just in case....

[niggle]

Tony weather doesn't look very good for a late return Sunday night for Weymouth so will probably stay local

[great white]

Good luck Nigel

 

Hope the sea trail goes well

 

 

Martin have you seen Sundays forecast?

[Maverick Martin]

Hi Charlie

 

Yes I have, we are thinking about staying more local.  Will give you a call after Tony and I have spoken tonight

[niggle]

I will be local......stuck on dry land as still playing up when tested tonight.

Will wait now until Paul at BBMS is back next week as he sold me the spare leg.......it works fine at 10 knots but does not like full throttle , I loose drive but still have reverse.If I turn it off for a minute and restart it works again.....until full throttle.

I'll talk to him Monday about both the legs ,I wonder if I could get a bulk discount on lift outs at Cobbs

[Adam F]

Sounds like when mine went Nige. Any smoke or debris in the engine room? Basically it will drive until the coupling can't hold it anymore and then gives way? Could well be wrong but spookily like the issue I had.
