After a good sunny weekend away we were returning to Pwllheli in our Azimut 42. When we were approaching the marina entrance the port engine cut out / stopped. We have Cat 3126 engines. This is the second time this has happened after a day out!
We call an engineer who had a look round, restarted the engine and could not see any obvious visual issues. He said it could be a duff sensor but it would be difficult diagnose and expensive too. He also mentioned that he could not plug PC in for diagnostics
I do know there is a low pressure safety cutout but we are not loosing any engine oil.
Has anyone experience with CAT 3126 engines. Where do I start to look for an intermittent fault?
Wife has lost all confidence in the boat so I need rectify ASAP
Is there any common issue with these CATs?
Thank you
