Cars have been testing "self-driving"
and it seems to be getting closer a reality. So, what can
we do in the boating industry to match that? Well last night it came to
me as I was sleeping. Around 3:30 am I heard a noise of a boat starting
their engine. Other than the time it really didn't make an impact until
I realized it was my boat that was trying to start it's own engine. By
the time I got over to the starboard side the diesel engine had finally
started and was running, a little rough but running. I adjusted the
throttle some and it just purred. So, if cars can "self-drive" let’s go for boats "self-start". |
Doing some research, it seems like this "self-starting" has occurred to other diesel engines when the starting solenoid or starting switch are just right and the weather is just right. There are several fixes that I will be working on with Kris to make sure it doesn't happen again. Or maybe we should leave it alone and start to market it? |

Maybe the boat was sending us a sign that it is time to leave the docks.
