twin engine boats

[wayneakp]

Hi all

Following all the good advice in the above thread I returned from Brundall to WRC on mainly just one engine today, starting the other for mooring. Much quieter on board and not realy much different to drive.

I had the boat up at Brundall for the port engine to be looked at as it would cut out for no reason whilst crusing. It ran fine all the back until we had to do some slow manoeuvres and it cut out again. It was then a sod to restart with a nice smell of petrol

Maybe I stalled it - can you stall a boat?

I hope the problem has not returned and it's something simple like the idle is too low for the torque needed for the slow manoeuvre and I just flooded it when I tried to restart it.

Great - booked a days boat handling training for Monday - dodgy engine is all I need
