Fifty Shades,grey?

[alruss]

Firstly, thanks for keeping your wash down past my pontoon. I noticed a cloud of Grey smoke from the stbd. side
when you were passing, I assume you are aware. Does anyone know what grey smoke indicates?

Greetings from Rochester!

Glad the wake was ok, I may have been running on one engine at the time, or revving it in neutral!

I have a high speed overheat issue, she's ok to 12-14kts but over that its a bit too hot! No loss of coolant or oil, might check impeller tomorrow...

Currently at RCC with Oldgit!

You might try checking all pipes carrying coolant water to the engine. I had a similar problem on my Ocean 37 back in the 80s. It turned out to be a reinforced pipe that to all extents and purposes looked OK and was indeed fine at low speeds but under pressure at speed was flattening thus restricting flow.

All checked! I'm going to have a play tomorrow...
