After three weeks of work lugging 150gallons of diesel 15 gallons at a time we are ready for a little trip. Left the sea wall the bow thruster seemed sluggish will check the 11 month old battery when we return.
Well got the engine up to 1200 rpms and the black smoke just started pouring out of her. I could only get 2000rpm under full power. so keep it at 1500 rpm then went into the engine room and it was full of smoke so shut down engine and investigated. I turned out that I had spilled oil when changing oil and it was burning off. Started engine again but black smoke still pouring out. We started heading back home after about 45 minutes and it started to clear up and despaired in about 15 minutes. Guess it was a stuck injector. Checked the bow thruster battery the terminals good so i put on charge over night.
So supplies some food last of tender repairs and plan on leaving South Gulf Cove on Sunday.
