While motoring on a river passage, the owner of the sailing vessel With Phoenix | Oliver experiences a complete engine failure.7:02 After failing to restart the engine, the operator drops anchor in 60 feet of water to avoid drifting into the channel.7:24 Following a consultation with a knowledgeable contact, the operator manually turns over the engine, which successfully restarts, suggesting a faulty starter motor.8:04 To avoid the risk of another failure, the operator decides to motor continuously to a dock rather than anchoring overnight or sailing through the night.10:10 The passage is complicated by debris, including large trees and branches in the water, and cold, rainy conditions.16:16 The operator notes that the current ground tackle—50 feet of quarter-inch chain and 200 feet of rode—is inadequate for the vessel.11:29 The day concludes with the boat safely anchored in a quiet, calm location.19:41 Manually turning over a seized or failing engine can sometimes bypass a faulty starter motor to restore temporary functionality.8:04
