Hi guys will take more photos to show you that cap. Sorry for no reply was cruising. The beeping has stopped. I Wiped everything that was sprayed with oil. I spent a good 3 hours cleaning everything before adding in the engine oil. Lucky my wife baught a mega pack of 30 tee towls, came in handy. Yes the leak was right next to the alternator. Now when I run the engine. I have 13.5 volts on both Gages.

Sorry. I ran it low for a while then gave it a quick burst. Then I seen where the oil was coming out

Ok all sorted. Got the oil. Screwed the screw back in. Moped out all the oil in the well deck. Added the oil. Dipstick reading bang on. Fired up the engine and gave it top revs. Then noticed oil farting out of a hole. Stopped engine. Then just under a big screw hole was a cap that has come off by the alternater. Hell knows how that came off. All back on. Fired up. Runs like a dream. Thanks for everybodies help today.

Lol he's right

There was a warning sound beep just started as I turned off the engine.
Bilge ge pump is switched off. I 100 percent will not pump oil into the canal
-
Yes there is. But this has always been lit

You may have seriously damaged the engine by running with no oil. But you might get away with it if the engine was stopped in time. If it were me I would fill with oil again and try it. Do you have an oil pressure gauge?
Can you tell us the make and model of engine?
The engine is Isuzu 35 inc 120d2
i can't see an oil pressure gage
-
Ok great I'll walk to the boat yard and get engine oil
should I not start the engine until I have oil ?
So this is gear box fluid where does this go as I can't see any where for it. I can't find a dipstick for the gear box

Good morning. Last night I came home and my wife was running the engine, she told me there's a funny sound. It wasn't funny it was terrible. She didn't turn the engine off and kept running it ( big mistake I know). This morning I've lifted the boards to find a long pin had come out and oil from the engine is spiller out all over the place.
I have put the screw back in tight. And checked the oil dip stick and its bone dri
please see pics below
1) is this the correct fluid to put in where the oil engine cap is
you can see in pic 2 the pin that was loose making the terrible sound

Cat is found. 4 hours he was gone and I went out for one more look. And he was close to the dead deer. He's begging to go back out now. But he's on total lock down. Don't get the the Tile tracker as its not great with a 100 ft range

Look very much like a Muntjac deer.
What could have killed it do you think. this deer is very close to our boat. And no cat
-
Our cat has gone missing for 3 hours now, he has a tracker. I've explored all the area the tracker last seen him. When I went on the search there is a dead animal on the tow path. What is this animal?
The same animal but a smaller one was close by looking at the dead body.
I fear what got this creature also got our cat

Thanks everybody for your help. It's was blocked. And it's now working better then it's ever worked before. It's now like brand new
-
We got to sleep and cleared the boat. This miring I removed the fire bricks inside there are all cracked and Brocken. Removed the plate and stuck the boat pole down the chimney. The fire place was half filled with soot. So I'm thinking it was very blocked. Off now to get new fire bricks. And re fit everything. And will try another fire. Will keep you posted. Thanks for all help

@mross. Every time I start a fire either the top vent is closed or open. The glass always go pitch black
i I found the label on the back
-
@PeterDHS. If I look down the Chimley how would I see fire if the baffle plate is there. Would I not just see the baffle plate
-
@RichM. I've been burning heat logs. The red bag of coal super something. So it's defiantly a blocked flu you think? Even tho smoke is coming out of the top ?
-
@mross. The bottom vent on this fire. Left is open. And to the right is fully closed. Should I have it fully open
-
We evacuated the boat and have waiting for the log to burn out. We have never messed with the fire since we owned the boat for one year almost. And have burned the fire with the vents open top and bottom. And smoke has never pored out of the vent. I will follow your advice with popping of the chimney and sticking the pole down tomorrow.
There is this screw thing next to the door that is very loose. I have no idea what it's for. Please see pic attached. Ive googled it and have never found the answer.
-
Please help. Cleaned the fire. Dropped the top plate inside and gave it a good clean. Stuck my hand up the pipe. All good. Smoke is coming out of chimney. But a lot of smoke is poring out of top air vents above the door into the boat.
Help please. Oil spill and rattling engine
in New to Boating?

I'm very interested now in getting the oil pressure sorted. All red lights are out. And no beaping. I will make a video and upload
