"Y" engineers, go on MCA keep going delivering quick made crew and not recognizing many professional licenses recognizes by the IMO. Happy Owner of a Yacht, do a favor to yourself, hire commercial crew and DO NOT register your vessel in the Red Ensign group.Sayonara!

Wet exhaust problem maybe? Burning hoses off the exhaust sinks a lot of boats. Using a flow meter that can handle harsh environments is a key.
