    westerbeke 7.0

    Unit starts. Runs nice at 1800 and shows 60 Hz but 55 volts. I adjust the idle to 2040 to get 115 volts. A/C won't come on and genny sounds like its trying to bog down yet still runs at 2040. Thoughts? Governor oil changed, outlets show 115v. Even lights have hard time turning on.

    check your (sea)cock

    Seacock that is. At the boat 3 weeks ago. All good. Shut off the seacocks when I left. Got to boat today and flipped on the levers. Uh oh, for some reason one of the clear cylinders started pissing water, right at the seam. Sure glad I had a spare on board.

    From where comes the bubbling crude?

    Oil, that is. If i just putter around, no problem. If i run hard, offshore and back, i end up with at least a quart of oil under the port engine. Oil cooler? Leaky hose? Everything else looks good but its hard to find the origin because of the splashing that occurs when running. Inquiring minds...

    guide me

    all suggestions appreciated. My AP14H is in need of a new feedback sensor, SLF12. Since the system is obsolete and the feedback sensors are unreliable does anyone know of a suitable replacement for the sensor or care to recommend a particular autopilot? Simrad, Garmin, Raymarine ? What say you?
