Athena's engine is too hot ;)Well, in a bad way unfortunately :(
A part of the engine appears to be overheating, the aft cylinder of the two cylinder Yanmar 2QM15.
Russell has this cool tool that uses a laser and measures the heat of the item it is pointed towards. In the picture the red light of the laser is on the aft fuel injector (may need to click to enlarge pic to see the red dot).
Athena's engine overheated on the way back to the dock. At the dock the aft cylinder was in the range of 65 degrees Celsius, or about 150-ish degrees Fahrenheit. The "too hot" light and alarm (although alarm doesn't seem to be actuating) are activated at 60 degrees Celsius.
All other parts of her engine seemed to remain in acceptable temp ranges.
Saltwater cooling system is pumping, so will need to do some investigating...
bummer.

Some like it hot but I don't think Athena likes it that hot!
