OCC members, Fred and Sandy onboard their catamaran Dakota Dream, were anchored at Antigua when this happened to their generator. It seems someone forgot to turn off the hot-wired raw water pump for their Northern Lights M673, 6 kw generator when they left the boat for Happy Hour. Upon returning to their boat, they realized the problem and shut down the still running raw water pump, too late. The generator was hydro-locked. This is what happens when an injector is removed to get raw water out of the cylinders. Ouch! Diesel and salt water sprays everywhere!!!

This has existed in various forms on several hulls. What is shown is this video is from “Umbono”, hull 20. It is very sleek and blend in with the lines of the solar arch shown earlier. On Mira, we will have a similar arrangement to starboard while leaving port empty in case we deploy a Starlink installation in the future. Want more?

Every system on a sailboat has an expiration date. Standing rigging, refrigeration, plumbing, batteries, and engines eventually become your problem. The key is understanding when those bills are coming due before you buy the boat. Contact Chris (rigger): https://www.cc-rigging.com/ 📗 Get My Book: https://bethecaptain.com
