Weve finally anchored at saint agustine. Reminded us why we dont anchor at night but, we mananged to find a parking space.

Thats a nice passage. Saves so much time doing the ditch. What engine do you have? Electrical/starting problems unrelated to fuel are a bummer. Fair winds

[@sailingwithgrace4522]

Its a nani (really just a merinated kaboda) diesel engine. 50 hp. It does indeed. Weve always prefered taking long passages and long breaks instead of short passages and short breaks. You really dont recover from a passage with just 8 hours of sleep.

We have a beta50 ,especially same base kubota engine. Nanni much like yanmar uses undersized wiring to relay. This was a problem.on our now gone yanmar 4jhte. Would be intermittent. We checked resistance of all wiring replaced the relay wiring with bigger gauge wire. No problems after that. Fair winds

@@lonestaradventures8838 ill get that info to the others. We suspected something electronic for a long while since the engine is mechanically sound since we rebuilt the top of it.
