On my return today after a fine weekends cruising without any problems, I lifted the engine hatch to everything covered in a grey powder. I didn't have time to investigate it fully but I will tomorrow. Has anyone every heard of auto fire extinguishers going off by themselves? Certainly there was no evidence of a fire although I don't suppose it can be ruled out just yet. I've got one over each engine and as far as I can tell, only one has gone off. I will have to clean up the mess and I guess replace the air filters as a precaution. Does anyone know if there are any other precautions I should take to make sure everything is okay engine wise? Also, what is the powder i.e. is it safe to clean up or should I wear a survival suit? Any advice given will be very much appreciated. Thanks.
