Take care Captain, this is where those years of watching forecasts make you the go to guy. You’ve weathered a big one in that anchorage in past and know when it’s time to cut and run ! Fair Sailing to you and the crew
Turbo , if you have a waste gate make sure it is not stuck open they stick.
yep, agree 100% with this post
agreed, check the waste gate
You're definitely the guy to talk to concerning these storms due to your experience down there. Wishing you the best of luck
Safe travels, Captain and crew. There's no better Captain for these seas.
Hope everything is better for you soon but I would be leaving that place now I wouldn't wait
Stay safe.
Thanks!
Watch you after work 😜,, thanks guys..
We'll be here, waiting on the next forecast!
Windy and predict wind show a baby storm materializing but nothing major as of Wednesday night so I hope whatever you decide you come through safely
My stomach dropped hearing that. I was in Hurricane Katerina 150 tug off NO. I lived through it but I wouldn't want that experience ever again. Good Luck Capt Rick along with your crew.
Windy weather app says you'll be fine. Have a beer.
You have your work cut out for you, 🙏❤️🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞
Hello from Ontario, I think you’ve made the right decision and that’s to run from it Rick!
You’re in for a tough few days I’m sure. Keep us informed when you can. Stay safe!
Good Luck Capt & C Crew.
Go stay with Danny. Wait it out!
I echo the "take care" and wish you folks a safe journey south or toward Panama(?). Best to take precautions and keep your family safe. Good job, Cap!
You prepared the best you could the rest is left to luck.
The black smoke could also be a leaking head gasket between the cooling jacket and the cylinder.
Or injectors, carbon build up cylinders/components, basically incomplete fuel ignition.
We wish you well, sailing in Madeira.
My sister in Aruba said it's not normal to be hit by hurricanes..
Stay safe, love you all very much Captain Rick, Maddie, Lil Ricci, & all the good ppl of San Andres an surrounding isla's !!
My prayer an love i send!!✌🏼💗😘🫂😘
Bro the Acapulco one form in 14 hrs from tropical storm to category 5 incredible
That black smoke looks like a fuel injector issue to me. Maybe one just needs to be cleaned.
the boat is full of brilliant characters, love all the crew, such a lovey team.
safe travels, fingers crossed all works out the best possible.
Love the Kapitan's sunglasses, which brand? thank you
Wishing you all the best
Good Luck and stay safe.
If you added the anti-runaway system for a diesel could the butterfly valve for that be partially closed creating a too fuel rich condition?
that would be a possibility, but we don't have that system installed yet
I'd take a look at the condition of the fuel injectors. Then, move on to the injector system (mechanical or electronic?). But, all diesels will smoke when a sudden heavy load is put on them. Good wishes on your passage to Panama.
twin high load alternaters at high revs may be putting more than normal strain on engin running specs.
Looks like you may be OK... Prayers for you all....
God Bless y’all!! Safe travels Captain
Good luck Rick. Be safe.
Compression rings could be a source of the smoke with heavy load, but it’s a new engine. Have you consulted with the manufacturer?
If anyone could b prepared id say it b ssl. Tks 4 the vid
Best of luck with the weather.
NOOoooooo😱‼️
Prayers🙏for a Veer
On your smoke problem, have you ran fuel injector cleaner in your fuel?! They might be a bit gummy from sitting. Best of luck on your trip to Panama.
Safe travels
As of Oct 31. There seems to be no Hurricane warnings...thunderstorms for next two weeks, but there does seem to be some component for southerly winds
Rick you need to change you boats' name to 'The Starship Enterprise' !!!
Great timing as usual 😅
When I got Black Smoke, Oil was getting in. Gasket Failure. X
All the best, praying for you to be safe!
Stuck open injectors take transmission fluid fill half the filter with transmission and the other half diesel fuel put back on engine and start engine and rev engine to 1100 rpm. THIS WILL free up the INJECTORS and LUBE UP TOP END and SET PISTON RINGS ECT. The Black Exhaust Smoke will clear up.
The engine is running Rich when your accelerating forsure
Hey Capt. Because your fuel filters are new I wonder about the interliner of the exhaust hose flapping closed under load. Good planning to you .
Look after yourselves and I am praying for your safety!
DAMN it time to get out of Dodge Captain Rick More.....An fair sailing a head my friend ans 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 👍
Shoe🇺🇸
Safe travels...keep us posted.
I wish you guys the best of luck. Stay as safe as you can. Hope you are back on the air ok soon.
Hopefully everything will go well and none of you will be on risk, safe sail Rick to you and all on SSL
good luck Captain, stay safe,, fair winds and following seas.....👍⛵👍
Thoughts and prayers to you and the crew.
Hope you guys get some good luck. Be carefull and be wise.
Good Luck for all of you !!!!
Have a great day, It's now snowing in MI
Stay safe
You probably know an occasional wave train will appear that will be double the predicted wave height
I'm not a diesel guy, but would look into a dirty injector.
Im sure thats fuel injection Rick, new engine , you have mechanical fuel injection pump which probably needs re-timing on Spill Cut Off . Im sure you must know how to re time injection , ive had to do this myself whilst underway single handed , mine was an interesting scenario where i desperately needed the engine
When you add weight to the boat you need to take pitch out of the prop you should get full RPM out of engine while under way if not you need to adjust pitch on prop. On a 3 blade prop its 150 RPM per inch of pitch. 200 RPM for a 4 blade prop. You are over loading the motor by running the motor with to much pitch
Black smoke diesel. Air fuel mixture? Dirty injector? Sorry not there, just guessing. Best of luck and safe travel.
Good luck and God bless! By any chance, is there an rubber connections between air inlet and turbo on the engine? Possibly collapsing under engine load?
Of course, wishing you safe travel Capitan Rick and Family / Crew
Beta rated rpm is 2800. In gear at full throttle underway you should come within 100 - 200 rpm. If not, too much pitch.
If you had an endoscope yo could look down the exhaust system to check for any surprise blockages. Would be the easiest thig to do before doing anything else. Maybe bad fuel or some trash in the fuel system but one would think that the new filters would have prevented that. is there a computer attached to the fuel injection system? If so check the settings if accessible.
Captain, regarding BLACK SMOKE. How about reaching out to the engine’s manufacturer???
Some experts say “imbalance in the air to fuel ratio - too much fuel to not enough air. This means either too much fuel is being added to the mix or there's not enough oxygen being supplied to burn the fuel. The black smoke is full of particulates that are basically large diesel particles that normally would be burned as fuel. Any way you look at it, a diesel truck emitting black smoke is not going to be getting the optimal fuel mileage it should be getting.
Most common causes of black smoke are faulty injectors, a faulty injector pump, a bad air filter (causing not enough oxygen to be supplied), a bad EGR valve (causing the valves to clog) or even a bad turbocharger. Some of these are easy fixes.
Can you check the EGR VALVE by temporarily disabling/disconnecting it , run the engine under load like you were doing and see if black smoke stops. Also, clogged injector causes black smoke. Possibly you may have picked up some contaminated fuel from your tank???
Anyways, good luck 🍀👍
Faulty injector maybe
Um bem haja para vocês á nossa senhora de Fátima vós proteja ❤🙏🙏🙏
My first thought on the black smoke is the exhaust elbow.
But it would have more to do with unburned fuel, no? Or bad mixture due to low airflow or plugged injectors maybe?
WEsail had an issue with black smoke a few months ago and it turned out that their elbows were clogged.@@SailingSophisticatedLady
@@RS-co1ln interesting.. ok thanks for tip!
I'm sure you've already checked but I'm thinking that it's an issue with the turbocharger or the cold side might have a pressure leak
You might have an injector that is stuck and I don't remember if you said you changed the fuel filter or not but hopefully you don't have any contamination in your fuel tank
Diesel engine with new air filter producing black smoke under load: Injector failure. At least one is "hanging" open and lets in too much diesel. That can't be burned and that is causing the smoke. As an experienced sailor you should know what to do.
Black smoak at load, isn't that typically due to something's off with the fuel /Air mix? Could something have gotten into the air intake and partly blocked it off? I remember that happening on my dad's ship many years ago and back then a bug had been sucked in and partly was blocking a valve deeper in the system. It was a mess to figure out and fix.
Good day captain Rick. I can only say, for a hurricane , if you can run away. Go for it cause I don’t see anything that anyone can do to be ready for what is coming. I been at sea on à category 5 hurricane and if I’m not wrong that water has lots of power. I was on an amphibious assault ship, my ship. Plank owner 🎉🎉😂😂 and it was like surfing. We road the waves I got to steer the ship in the hurricane. I was a flight deck director. Now living in Medellin thinking of visiting san andres. And hope to meet you. Not YEAT. But I will let you know. Blessings. I been following you guys since Covid started . KC2IGI. My calls letters. I’m
Also a dj. Industrial mechanic . Aviation oriented , open water diver. And a good one. Hahaha. Love the ocean, just say hi to Mother Nature. She loves your captain’s ship. I saw how she was parked after the hurricane. That was a miracle. Mother Nature. Love you. Too.
Turbo is my guess also...
BLACK SMOKE COULD ALSO BE A TURBO IS STUCK IF IT HAS TURBOS
What does it mean when only the pirate flag is flying? You seem so much better off there with 2 anchors out instead of on the run to Panama but with the anchorage closing I guess it makes sense.
CAPT RICK TRY PUTTING INJECTOR CLEANER IN YOUR FUEL TANK I ALSO RUN A PRODUCT CALLED NULON ON YOUR NEXT OIL CHANGE GRAHAM FROM AUSTRALIA AT LEAST IT NOT BLUE SMOKE
Possible sticky injector in or injection pump issue ?
Have u checked the oxygen sensor?
Can you disconnect that huge alternator while testing in gear you just installed a while ago? Maybe it's the drop...
Did you not have like 5kw alternator? Must effect as much as a dirty prop. Regards Perry from early Pirates Nest, Curacao
New engine... where is Beta on the phone/email to guide your next steps? Move out of anchorage. Stay safe... 🙏
Hello when you have time. I was wondering if you could let me know what type of sewing machine you would recommend? I have a lot of canvas work and isenglass as boating in Kawartha lakes. I want to do it myself and would greatly appreciate any advice on type of machine to buy. Used of course if I can find one. Thanks much appreciated Tammy
Isn't that the new engine and wasn't it without turbo? You already changed the airfilter...would be strange to have "bad" injector already but not impossible
😀👍👍👍❤
Hmm…Seems like Weather is Wacko with Climate Change☹️ Hoping ya can fix yer Black Smoke Issue…Continue to Stay Safe on Storm Watch
Climate has always changed… the sun’s changes the earths diminished electro magnetic field is what we are living with.
do you get the smoke with the air filter off?
Is this from before??? I see no weather coming for u guys at all???
diesel injectors ?
Living on the sea as you do let’s see how grounded you are facing massive air masses. Don’t know why in the opening you on the stern I missed Tiki filling her space.
Dirty fuel injectors?
Couldn’t you get a mechanic to look at the engine?
Dirty injectors
Welcome to weather warfare!!!! Brought to you by our government, darpa, and the military...HAARP! be careful, they mean business. The DS is pissed😅
Stay safe.
