You could consider Curacao as well. Direct flights into Miami and New York available.
The Marina in Curacao has special arrangenments for long term storage and are reasonably equipped. There is a Budget Marine and an Island Waterworld chandlery on the Island.
It is actually easier for a non-resident to keep his/her boat here then for a resident :-(
Let me know if you would like more information. In case you wonder, I have no relations to the marina, so it’s not a sales pitch.
Kind regards,

Re: Re :[Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Perkins M 4 .154 engine repairs, rescheduling trip
I think Joel was right on with his diagnosis:
More than likely your problem is the crankshaft bearings and the connecting rod bearings clearances are too large. As the engine warms the expansion of components causes the clearances to increase even more and hence the oil pressure to go down.

Christian,
I am afraid I have no good ideas that match your symptoms! Since you have both the gauge and alarm reporting low pressure, I have to assume it is real and not a problem with the measurement.
Sometimes low oil level can cause low pressure at high rpm as the pump sucks so much oil out of the crankcase it sucks air, but you checked that.
A stuck open pressure relief valve that resets itself when the engine shuts down could be an an issue, but that seems unlikely.
Maybe someone else has an idea or two... in any event do let us know what the solution turns out to be!
Bill Kinney SM160, Harmonie Key West, FL
Here is
Yes - oil pressure gauge and l'os pressure alarme on When oil pressure below 1 bar, alarme nées Oil pressure drops quickly at 2000 rpm Oil pressure remains stable when low or normal Oil pressure remains low when reducing speed from 2000
No loss of oil single de started. Ran 1hour maneuvring in port at 1300 rpm at 2 bars, went To idle after 1 hour at 700 rpm with 1.1 bar oil pressure. Did not risk acceleration.

Where do you
want to travel back to in the USA? i.e. Martinique has very cheap flights on
Norwegian Air but to limited USA locations. Le Marin is a good spot to have any
work done and is a safe spot to leave for the boat a while.
Consider Port
Louis Marina in Grenada for hurricane season. Very safe and very nice facility.
Easy access to and from USA.

Re: Perkins M 4.154 engine repairs, rescheduling trip
greatketch@...
Losing oil pressure at high RPM and having it come back at low RPM is a bit of a puzzle to me. There are ways it can happen, but they are a bit exotic
Do you have an oil pressure gauge AND an low oil pressure alarm? If so, is the gauge showing low pressure AND you get an alarm? Does the oil pressure drop quickly at 2000RPM or does it drift down slowly? Is it stable, or does it bounce around? Does it come back quickly when you reduce the RPM, or does it stay low?

Perkins M 4.154 engine repairs, rescheduling trip
christian alby <calbyy@...>
Good day To you all amel sailors
Acter good run com Canarias To Cabo Verde (165 Nm best day with 25 to 30 kn wind & 3 M swell) tried engine To reef down main, & lost oil pressure when accelerating to 2000 rpm. All Nice & Smith up To 1600 rpm, but cannot take it further. Decided that it is toi risky To continue this way on pour round trip to southern Atlantic, therefore changing course To Martinique To replace ole' faithful by brand new engine. Thinking a bout 60 up perkins. Recomendations on contacts, supplier, workshops, shipyard in Le Marin or ôter technico Center around ? Past experience ? All welcome Fair wind & boas entradas Christian alby - sv Desirade VIII - Maramu 116 - now in Mindelo Cabo Verde
