Previous boat ‘79 Nicholson 303 Yanmar 2qm15 320 hrs.
Starts and runs all day. Slowing while approaching a dock-stalls. Change filters, check for loose fuel lines, change crush washers….. Approaching a dock….stall. Always while slowing down. Approaching the fuel dock at Dodson’s was told “I’m going there!” By the nice man on his Hinckley. My response, “Sorry,(engine stalls) I am. The fuel pickup was at the forward end of the cylindrical tank. When I slowed, all the crud would slosh forward and block the pickup causing a stall. Unfortunately the yard cleaned the tank and replaced it. they also inadvertently punctured it and diesel would run out the bottom. Found this out after a day sailing. Back to the yard and a new tank was installed. Unfortunately they inadvertently severed the propane line while cutting a 2” hole in a bulkhead to run a new vent line. It was obscured by the insulation. Found this out when it blew up. With 2 of us onboard. ‘Nother story. I’m sure I told it here at some point.
