Problems on the good ship BW...again!

[Adam F]

Last month I forked out on two new sets of brake shoes - this month it looks like the engine....

 

It has been getting a little louder as of late, but last night when coming back in, she started to struggle to plane...when we reached the harbour, I slowed down, then the fastest she would push us was 8knots!

 

I limped back in with the engine sounding like a bag of nails. Phoned Tony this morning, and shes going in next Thurs.

 

Worried though, as it sounds like a compression problem....sounds expensive

 

So BW is out of the comp for the weekend - looks like Tara will be pushed into action.

Yeh, it didn't sound good to me. Sounded like the big end was going or some piston related problem. It didn't sound cheap, anyway.

 

Hope I'm wrong and it's just something simple.

Hi Adam

 

I hope its not to serious or expensive and that you'll be up and running again for the Weymouth trip.

 

If your not we will fit you on one of the other boats

Hi Adam

 

I hope that it is not as expensive as it sounds.

 

It is very difficult to guess what could be wrong, if I can be of assistance call me.

 

Tight lines on Tara

Cheers guys - I guess Charlie is right - could be something simple such as a worn HT lead (I hope) on the other hand it may not be ...whatever it is, it will need sorting, and I suppose it is just part of the fun (?) of owning ones own vessel.
