Re: Engine Failure Woe’s
next job would be for me to throw that thing overboard a.s.a.p. and install something to kill the fire instead of have you floating around in the middle of lots of water on a burning boat, not even using the last moments to get to shore.
really, who thinks up, gets approved and sells such a stupid product. At least have one engine to stay in control, at least make it clear that it is detecting trouble or is in trouble itself and at the very very least make it waterproof!
But what am I ranting about; you have different regulations over there and I have manual fire extuinguishers, diesels and a shore nearby to beach on.
Still, on the wide open waters in your countries I would not want a motorboat without power due to a too blunt interference by a system acting beyond my control.
I realise that this is probably (hopefully) a smarter system and part of other warning and extinguishing systems on board and that it's supposed function was hampered by water ingress to the control box. But even that should have been considered (it's a boat after all) and should not force a boat powerless.
