Oyster 56 - technical help needed

[Kristal]

I will be cross-posting this on PBO too.

Near me at St Kats is an Oyster 56 which, for the last 24 hours, has been pumping water out of a small outlet, positioned roughly amidships and level with the mast, almost at the waterline, on the port side. Can anybody think of a reason (like it has it's own posh airconditioning system which the owner can afford to leave running in their absence) or should I inform the marina office about it?

Being at the opposite end of the yacht spectrum to the one I inhabit, I have no idea if it's a bad thing or not.

Any advice gratefully received, from me and possibly the evidently loaded owner!

I noticed that too. I think its teh cooling water for teh fridge freezer heat exchange.

Certain Swans wot I have sailed have had watercooled fridges, which pee out a constant stream of water when working, usually from a hole about 4 or 5mm dia. Plus the water is slightly warm.

Ah, that makes sense. A fridge, eh? How the other half live... /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I have seen a MoBo in a marina which had a sign above the condenser cooling water discharge along the lines of "Please don't phone me about the water, it is only the freezer".

We have been told a few times "Did you know that you have water coming out through the transom?"
