Engine Repair


We suffered a minor detour yesterday. We were on our way from Galley Bay to Rebecca Spit (both in the Desolation Sound area) and I noticed the engine overheating. I found this hose which had blown (and of course we didn't have a spare), so I patched the existing hose with another piece of white hose and we made for Campbell River. The Yanmar dealer didn't have a replacement in stock, so we went to a local auto supply and were able to find a radiator hose which is a reasonable substitute.
