Systems & troubleshootingSistemler & arıza giderme
Most engine deaths are fuel or cooling, and most are fixable underway if you carry spares. Learn two repairs cold: bleeding fuel and changing the impeller.Motor ölümlerinin çoğu yakıt ya da soğutmadır ve çoğu, yedek varsa seyir hâlinde onarılabilir. İki onarımı ezbere bil: yakıt havasını alma ve çark (impeller) değişimi.
Diesel — the big four
- Air in the fuel (after running dry or a filter change) → won’t start or dies. Fix: bleed the system. Practise in the marina.
- Clogged filters / water in fuel → power loss, stalling. Drain the separator; change filters (carry spares).
- Overheating → raw-water cooling: blocked intake/strainer, failed impeller (#1 carry-a-spare), fouled heat exchanger, broken belt.
- Belt failure → no water pump + no charging. Carry a spare; know the routing.
Electrical (your home turf)
House vs start banks and why they’re separated; state-of-charge by resting voltage and load behaviour; charging sources and their failure signs; common faults — corroded terminals, blown fuses, chafed wiring, voltage sag under load, dead bilge-pump float switch. Galvanic corrosion and sacrificial anodes.
Plumbing, steering, rig
Know seacock locations and the manual bilge pump; flooding = find source, stem, pump, shelter. Locate the emergency tiller. A shroud/stay failure → reduce load on the broken side immediately and support the mast. Sail tears → repair tape, then palm + needle + waxed thread.
Carry aboard
Impeller + gasket, fuel filters, drive belt, fuses, hose clamps, self-amalgamating tape, sail-repair kit, multimeter, wooden bungs, a real toolkit.
