Diesel Engine Exhaust Elbow

Winter is setting in and I have more time available to pay attention to things that I have been putting off for too long. Now is the time to do some catching up.

Over the next few months I will post a number of blog entries and new pages on the website that tell some stories about my adventures in boating. Especially about repair woes and upgrades.

Earlier this year I was dong some research on the internet to try to fix a problem with my knotmeter. I came across a boater’s forum and one gentleman had added this tagline to his posting: “Everything on your boat is broken – you just don’t know about it yet!”

Anybody who owns a boat can totally relate to that statement!

In 2010 I discovered that the water injector in my engine exhaust elbow was almost completely plugged with salt water corrosion. Click here to go to the page on my website where you can get the full details.
