I've encountered a serious problem with the Yellowbrick tracker - it's not possible to re-register the unit if you're selling it on. For anyone unfamiliar with how they work: when buying a new Yellowbrick, you register a username and are given a personal web page (mine is...

Thank you. I started the motor again, did as you recommended and the hoses at the calorifier are now hot. I suppose one way of ensuring that water is running through it is if I get hot water out of the tap. I'll check in 30!

Very disturbing. Everything seemed fine after bringing the engine to temp, I checked the hoses at the calorifier and they were warm/hot, a good sign. Then left the motor running for 45 minutes, no alarms, but checked the temp of the hoses at the calorifier again and they were cold. Does this...

Thanks again for all the help. I've managed to get the coolant in by removing a hose from the calorifier. Bringing it to temp now, fingers crossed!

Thanks for the pic. No, on my engine the filler cap is way up along side the reservior and the place where the cap was on the exchanger has a plate bolted over it. I assume it has a different arrangement because of the calorifier - the filler cap has to be above it.

Thanks for the responses. So I double checked the drain plug that wasn't draining, and it turns out it was blocked with gunk and when unblocked alot more (filthy) coolant came out. I've now flushed through many times with fresh water by keeping the valve open and pouring in water. The problem...

Ok sorry for all this drama, I may have found the problem. When I refilled coolant through the filler cap, I think what I thought was full was actually just air pushing coolant back up the pipe. I'll try again. Sorry again, had a bit of a pannick there engine failure at the beginning of a...

Thanks so much for the advice Dave. It seems that the only difference is that there is no filler cap on the heat exchanger on my engine, the filler cap is up between the reservior and the calorifyer. I've drained the coolant again now, but the reservoir has not drained. What does this mean????!!!!!

Also, on another similar thread, someone answered that there should be a square section bolt on top of the heat exchanger, which when removed acts as an air vent. There is no such bolt on the heat exchanger, only a square plate bolted onto the heat exchanger with four bolts. I assume that's...

Note: The book says to remove the fill cap on the exhaust manifold to fill it. I can so no such cap, hence why I took the hose off. There is a pressure cap next to the remote reservoir, but this would only take 1/2 litre before overflowing.

Hi there, Whilst in the marina I thought I'd change the coolant in the motor as I'd been meaning to do it for a very long time. I did it, brought the engine up to operating temperature and all seemed fine. Today I finally got the weather to make the passage across Biscay to Falmouth and 10...

I'm using the electronic Raymarine Autohelm, it's fixed to the rudder post in the lazerette. I also have an external push rod autohelm that fits onto the tiller, I think it's very important to have back ups.

Thanks for the positive feedback, I made it to Spain! Here's the video: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdTlEf_pMDDYe1boB7CHuhA
