Engines - Top tips for repairing them yourself
In this article, we’ll focus on units under 60 feet, and begin by making the assumption that the engines have been correctly maintained to date. For now, we’ll ignore what you might call “external” problems such as a line round the propeller (a classic subject that deserves its own article!), to focus on the most common failures under way. These can be summarized as three phenomena, namely, electrical problems, fuel supply, and overheating. The breakdowns described below should be solvable without assistance, and using the tools and spare parts that should be in the inventory of any cruising multihull. If after all these checks the engine still won’t start, the help of a professional will become unavoidable. We would like to thank Tendance Voile for their friendly and instructive assistance in writing this article.
