Lister engine leaking coolant

<< < (2/2)

dieselspanner:
Letting any engine overheat ain't a good idea!

However, if you can monitor it, every 30 minuets or so and can leave the pressure cap off, a few hours running down to the nearest yard shouldn't present a problem.

Look up on the web the systems I described and try to work out what you have, the more you know the more you can do for yourself, at the end of the day, boats of this type aren't too complicated. Note everything you do in the log- oil and water top ups, oil and filter changes, 'fan' belt sizes, it helps to build a 'picture' of the state of your craft. Carry spares for all the consumables and a small tool kit. Even if you can't use it, maybe someone else can.

Cheers
Stef
