From your own experience, whether single or twins, what mechanical diesel engine failure has occurred while underway. If someday moving to a single engine trawler I would like to see what the studio audience has seen.
I’ll start off, twin Yanmar diesels, at about 10 years of age and 1800 house the exhaust riser that connects to the turbo cracked while underway, thus emitting hot exhaust into the engine room and melting the shift cable. I was able to get back on one, although those cables where stiff as well.
This is not a single vs twin debate, just what have people experienced.
Thanks for participating.
