An engineer chap tu8rned up to the boat to have a good poke about. Also, to flog us some spares since we didn't have any, ahem.
While he was down there he tut-tutted at the lagingon the exhaust, sort of breaking down with fluff and dust everywhere, cloging airfilters. So, we bort new airfilters. And the next day the boat went 3-4 knots faster! Hurrah.
After that I wanted to hear all his advice. He suggested using synthetic oil, but not until the boat had done 300 hours or more. OK. He also found a pinhole crack near the exhaust, and that got sorted too. A very excellent chap, and he sorted out the dinghy throttle, so that was fab as well.
Then, he suggested some fuel additives. With a big broomhandle close at hand, I asked him darkly if he recommended S*ltron. Luckily for him, he said he recommended Fuel Set (?) but I will admit that he said it was all much of a muchness. Bugger!
