We took a week and headed east (Trentport and back) and gradually loaded up the
locker. Motor sailing on the return leg from Trenton to Cobourg the engine
overheated. Fortunately the wind gods took pity on us and the wind piped up. We
sailed for a couple of hours while the motor cooled. My wife sailed while I
checked the impeller. It was in perfect shape. We unloaded the locker and the
motor ran fine on the rest of our return to Frenchman's Bay. I think the
overloading of the locker contributed to or was the cause of the overheating.
My wife thinks we sucked up some weeds (we used the small boat channel going
from Trenton to the Murray Canal). I am going to be more careful with what I
place in the locker. I am still going to get more storage with the partition I
installed but am going to avoid putting things like fenders, my code 0, etc. in
the locker that will restrict air flow.
Long windy entry but I do have a few questions for the group
My engine panel seems to a warning light for high temp that doesn't work. Do
these lights work? (assuming the bulb works)
Do you think the overheating was caused by filling the locker?
Has anyone installed additional ventilation in the locker? It seems like it
would be relatively easy to install a vent and perhaps a small 12v fan to keep
the air moving
Dave, We ended up overnighting at the marina the Thursday before Canada Day
and was just down the dock from you. Your boat is looking good.

Verrry interesting..... your refrigeration unit is in a completely
different location. Windstar has a plywood separator dividing the two spaces,
but it's only a foot high at its tallest. I was thinking after reading this
thread to make a machine guard to cover the rotating parts, essentially leaving
what I have intact. Was in FB on Saturday, didn't think to look for you.
Should have studied your boat more when you visited!Btw, Canada day and harbour
day festivities are combined next weekend in Whitby. Lots going on, probably
the best weekend to visit if you can get a slip. (I'm still on pier 7)
Dave.

I can drop the top handle to access the engine compartment. I try not to stow
anything in the lazarette that is small enough to go through the net. So far so
good.
