While crossing the Mona Passage, 35 nautical miles offshore, we ran into trouble with our Yanmar 4JH4E. We were motoring in light winds when we noticed a change in the exhaust pitch — turns out, seawater wasn’t flowing properly. We checked the impeller and, strangely, it looked intact… but it could spin freely by hand — not a good sign. After getting towed back to our anchorage at midnight (huge thanks to Michael, who came out and saved us!), we dug deeper and discovered that the gear inside the old water pump had worn down badly. It turns out the pump wasn’t making full contact with the internal gear, likely due to an aftermarket impeller and shallow gear engagement. We ordered a new OEM water pump from R&B Power in San Juan, and they were awesome — super responsive and got us the part

See Full Review Hanse 460 Yacht: https://youtu.be/GTeADMYIjTc Transcript: So we had a question about the Hanse 460 Review. That question was on the YouTube channel which was: "Was I using the standard engine or did I have the upgraded engine?" Now if you haven't seen this video you can see the full review it's linked down here. Just click on the Hanse 460 Review for Janina. This model had the 57 horsepower standard engine. You do have an option to go up to 80 horsepower. I never felt underpowered on the boat but I didn't push it to 40 knots on the wind. So that's the answer to that one. I think an 80 horsepower would add quite a lot of weight to the boat. =========================== Looking to sail in Croatia?

Cominciamo con il botto!! Un bassa pressione presente sulle Azzorre ci sta dando filo da torcere, mentre facciamo slalom tra la bonaccia e il vento contro. Mao partenza fu più sofferta e questo bagliore di adrenalina ci ricarica le pile al 100%! Sotto, io e Andre lavoriamo al pc e con le call. Sopra, 4 bambinoni felicioni si divertono con il gioco più bello del mondo. La vela. ❤️⛵️ #atlanticcrossing #traversataatlantica #barcavela #barcaavela
