Andrew;
Before retiring, among other things, I did technical training for an
industrial vehicle manufacturer... pretty much specializing in diesel engine
training. I was a certified tech for both Cummins and Yanmar.
Based on what I know to be true at the time of retirement, I'd say you

I hate to say this, but is it possible that you have a case of a cold weld

Also look at the below. You may want to be careful with acetone on the deck.

If you have a Yanmar diesel, it would be best to check the engine manual and
the service bulletins for your engine series to see what level of biodiesel is
approved for the engine.

During the email string I found myself wondering if you had a voltmeter in the
system.
I have a Blue Seas 8235 voltmeter in my system, which has a max power
consumption of 1 watt. Presumably most of that is to power the LCD display. 1
watt at 12v is about 0.1 amp – which is what my Link Ligh

Yes, running a diesel at low RPMs to charge the batteries, etc. is the worst
thing to do to a diesel. I'm sure it's one of the reasons I only got 36 years

Running biodiesel will further reduce engine noise along with the common
rail fuel delivery in newer diesel engines. Is it even available at fuel
docks, I haven't noticed. Biodiesel (B-20) is hard to find for my Ford
F250. I would imagine even less common on the water.

I may reach out to you for some insights when that day approaches.

Our RIB is fantastic. As a dinghy user, you would never go back to anything
else. It can hold an amazing amount of s.. (cough) stuff. I think it once held
6 people and two big dogs. It can cruise all day at 16-18 knots and has enough
grunt to tow a big boat or a kid in a tube. It is very stable
The reason the West dinghy fell apart is probably because it was glued. It

Can you feed a fish tape from the transom through the fixture and grab it
in the Q-berth?
If so, you can pull a messenger then the wire to the fixture.

Damian,
you have to calculate how much power you would need. That depends on your
cruising usage (how much extra charge you want to get to keep your refrigerator
going) and the size of your batteries (the larger the bank, the more power you
need to keep it topped up).
Regardless of what panels
