Cosa tratta questo video

A 1987 Trident Warrior sailboat named Athena remains in Trinidad while the crew troubleshoots a malfunctioning Fisher Panda 5000i genset.0:27 After replacing the actuator, the unit continues to fail under a 13-amp load, producing significant exhaust smoke and soot.0:56 A professional compression test yielded 25 bar, which Fisher Panda technical support identified as significantly lower than the factory-standard 36 to 40 bar.14:58 The crew ruled out exhaust back pressure after inspecting the elbow and now suspects internal engine damage, potentially requiring a cylinder head removal.15:44 Due to the difficulty of sourcing a replacement head gasket in Trinidad, the crew plans to defer further repairs until they reach the United States.16:12 Meanwhile, the crew completed routine maintenance, including deck cleaning, reinstalling the rod kicker, and bending on the staysail and headsail.11:17 They are currently docked at the Cruzen marina, which offers amenities including a gym, pool, and laundry facilities.8:13 The genset remains inoperable, and the crew will delay further engine service until they can secure necessary parts.
