Yep back in Newport. Yes we had a coupling failure on the way to Malta 3 of the 4 pins broke. 
Between there and Boston we put about 500 hours on the Yanmar with no issues. We did a good deal of motor sailing given light winds and a very weak battery bank. Our burn rate at 1200 was 2 liters per hour clean bottom and new auto prop.

Hi Richard,


Back in RI??  How many hours of sailing/engine did you do on the SM you moved from Goček?

Saw you had issues in Malta…

Cheers,

Take a look at posts Kent has on this site. Not isolating the engine will over a very short time cause a issues with the Amel drive and engine. The old saying an once of prevention.

So what would be the consequences on not isolating the engine ´s negative on all electrical sensors, actuators and alternators?
