Hi All,
My Heavenly Twins Cat has two Renault diesel engines (8hp I think). Both engines, but the starboard one in particular will only go into gear at very high revs, you have to push the morse control right up and when it kicks in it goes forward very fast, giving you very little control at close quarters. If you bring the morse control more than a little lower it loses gear again (does a similar thing in reverse).
Makes for some very difficult and embarrassing manuvering.
Any ideas?
I am not very up on engines but will relay any answers to DP. Any marine diesel engine experts that would let us give them a ring or give a cheap consultation in North Wales!?
Thanks!
Selina
