Shut down, lose steerage. Drop anchors also will likely divert the path more so than stop the movement.
While you may not have any blockage, you may have developed scale on the coil within the heat exchanger. Bucket, pump short hoses, barnacle...
Do you have a heat gun aboard? Compare the temps at the discharge points of each heat exchanger to see if they're getting equal flow. By...
The drain feeds from the heads to the ER run through PVC straight-pipes. They will gravity flow to the ER. Macerating the waste at the head is...
a-head sewage systems. All poly. Create a small lift station in the bilge at the location of the gravity drain feed, and lift it to a new...

Engine pumps were 480v. They dropped off line when the low voltage buss tripped both breakers....transformer? When the 480v circuits were lost,...
That was where my mind went. When you look at the accidents of the largest vessels, they just amplify the underlying risks involved with any vessel.
I’m no legal expert, but a series of related events could trip the insurance coverage and shift liability upstairs, perhaps even beyond the shell...
