Woke up in the morning, uncomfortable as hell. No air, no nothing. I took a shower and got ready. Started the boat, and all of the sudden the
left engine was overheating. Turned the
engines off. Went and found a mechanic,
a nice guy named Wayne Brown from Brown’s Marine and he didn’t even make me
wait. He let me eat my breakfast and immediately
went to look at the boat with me. Found
out that one of the belts was busted. He
had the overheating problem fixed within an hour and we were on our way. Went about thirty minutes without any
problems, but once we hit open water the alarms started to go off again. All the gauges, everything, looked good. Took it back to the same marina and another
guy looked at it. He found that a bunch
of wires were loose. He tightened them
up, but the alarms went off again.
Eventually he told me that he though it was just a bad sensor for the
alarm and I should just disconnect it and get on my way.
On the way the fumes, whatever they may be, are pretty
strong. I’m pretty sure it’s a gasket to
calm the oil down. I guess we had a
small bit of luck we made it to Clearwater beach and are finally able to
relax.
This is What The Alarms Sound Like!
