We had our second trip out today after a long lay up and though we’ve had no unreliability issues with the engine in the past other than rain water getting into the fuel tank which we’ve sorted now. The engine cuts out when we reduce revs when changing between forward and reverse. It won’t start again straight away but will after fifteen minutes. Usually happens when we’re trying to moor up. A nice Broads ranger named Richie helped us out today, many thanks man. We’ll try and sort it next time we go out, hopefully.
