Greetings,
Although I send out news updates during the season I thought it might be fun to put together a review of the whole season. We are now getting the boats ready for the new season servicing engines, repainting, servicing tackle and rectifying any problems that might have occurred during the season. I am happy to report that Kamara II engine troubles of 2008 were not repeated and hopefully now that we know what caused the problems we can prevent any reoccurrence. Although the problems resulted from a manufacturing defect Caterpillar has refused to accept any responsibility. I have since heard of at least five other boats powered by the same CAT model that experienced the same problems in some cases with terminal consequences. (more…)
