The crew of Doodles encounters a starboard engine power loss while transiting from Staniel Key to Cape Eleuthera in the Bahamas.5:02 The engine fails to exceed 2,500 RPM, limiting the vessel to 12 knots during a 40-mile passage.12:11 Suspecting a fuel delivery issue, the crew anchors to replace the primary fuel filter, which contains sediment but no water.8:59 The engine performance does not immediately improve after the filter change, forcing the crew to continue at reduced speed to reach a reserved marina slip before an incoming storm.11:21 After approximately one hour of operation, the starboard engine regains full power, allowing the vessel to reach 17–18 knots.12:30 The crew successfully docks at Cape Eleuthera as weather conditions deteriorate.14:41 The engine malfunction likely resulted from a temporary clog in the fuel line or pickup that cleared during transit.12:34
