Yanmar 2g fuel return line
My Prout Sirocco has a Yanmar 2 G engine. When running the engine bilge collects some diesel and I think this may come from the fuel return line. This line has a “ T” section the top open to air and then heads off to the fuel tank although I cannot get to where it may enter the tank. The open end dr...

Prout Sirocco staysail
Dear group I have a Prout Sirocco 26 ft which has a small staysail. Looks like it is supposed to fit to a track but the sail shape is totally wrong for this and when used to make it look in anyway right I have attached the sheet to anything at the back of the boat. Very small sail and I doubt it has...

Re: How to disable hydraulic steering
The bit of wood fits into a slot on one of the rudders. I hope I never have to use it ! The sail drive can be turned which is very handy manoeuvring in harbours ( if fact I use this and throttle rather than rudders for tight situations) and it might be possible to use this with the motor in lack of ...

Re: How to disable hydraulic steering
Had a good look for the reservoir and talked to the man who fitted the steering. He says no way to disable and he always assumed that if it broke it would be already disabled so he could use a tiller extension.

How to disable hydraulic steering
Dear all
Just got a Prout Sirocco and I can see that it has a slot for an emergency tiller and a suitable bit of wood ,
But
Presumable to make use of this the hydraulic system has to be disconnected ?
How does one do this ?

Re: spinnaker
Terry. A downwind run at last. The sheet is easy and comes back to the jib block and winch with no problems. For straight downwind the tack just went on to the windward front hull cleat and for more on the beam through the anchor bow roller and to the anchor cleat. This tack line was not really adju...
