We make landfall in Skagen — and right in the approach an engine alarm goes off. We immediately dock to reset and troubleshoot: check the drive/oil, inspect the keel, and run through the systems. There’s no Yanmar dealer in Skagen, so we have to sort this out ourselves — with tips from support in Norway, solid seamanship, and calm maneuvering. We get really happy when we finally realize how to move diesel from the reserve tank to the day tank. Real boating life from inside T1. ⚓

In this episode you’ll see:

🛠️ Engine alarm on approach: safe procedure for docking, resetting, and troubleshooting
⚙️ What we check first: oil/drive, keel/dryness, instruments, and alarm logic
🌬️ Wind & harbor: entering and maneuvering in Skagen Marina when the pulse is up
🚲 Skagen ashore: practical bike tips and a quick harbor walk
🗺️ Route: from Anholt across the Kattegat — how wind/waves affect speed
‼️ We solve two big problems. This makes us very happy and confident.

Still a bit more. A bit more.
I’m ashore. OK.
Good! I have to hang up now, and record a video of this error. You guys need to lie over there.
Yeah. An alarm went off here, so I had to
dock quickly to reset it. So in 5 minutes we’ll move. And then I got over to the dock here and turned off the engines, turned off the power, turned off the keys, turned off the fuses, waited a few minutes, restarted it, and as soon as I give it power, it pops up again. “Warning! Drive ECU error detected.” And then there’s the engine warning light under the start button, you know, the red engine light, and that
usually goes off. Now it stays on. But on both of them, within
like 20 seconds apart. Isn’t that weird? Yeah, it probably starts. Because it did run
for 20–30 seconds after… But do you… Do you think I should try starting it now? Then I’ll give power here, and power there. And now it starts beeping there. And now it starts beeping there. And now the first one started. And now the second one started. But what’s strange is that you can’t close… It says close, and it says detail on the error messages, but you can’t close or get any details. It just starts beeping faster and faster. Damn it! It’s inside the guest harbor, you know. It’s so creepy if it suddenly won’t go into gear. But… Yeah, right? Because it’s not like…
Yeah, I’ll do that, but it’s not like when it starts beeping
now, that it means that in 10 minutes
things definitely won’t go into gear or anything? There’s nothing like that…? No. No. No. Yeah, right? OK. Then we’ll try that, Arild.
Thanks a lot for the reassurance. I’ll keep you updated.
Bye now! Bye! OK, we just need to cast off and
get in there. And let’s just hope we don’t lose power
along the way. And if we do, then we’ll just improvise. Then I’ll call you back now, because I’ll need help in there. Hello! Yeah. OK. Are we free? No.
No, no. That beeping is horrible to listen to, but I can’t do anything about it. Yeah, I know. But I can’t…
Just have to try to ignore it. No one behind us either? What did you say? There’s no one behind us either? No one behind us.
There’s a fishing boat heading out. We’re free! What do you think? I think it won’t be easy
to get out again, but that’s a challenge for another day. Yeah, but would you rather we drop anchor out there? Out by the edge? No, I don’t think so. You’re not able to sit still, are you?! No, clearly not. Because there’s no Yanmar dealer in Skagen. We need to make that diesel thing work.
We really need to fix it. Transfer it from those tanks. But logically,
there’s one thing we could try, but there’s no point in trying
if we don’t have engines. Press four to… We’re currently experiencing high call volumes. You can press nine at any time to leave a message, or wait for a reply. Hello!
Hi! Hans Christian Andersen calling. Hi.
Hi. I just have a quick technical question. I’m in Skagen. I’ve got a boat with two 370 Yanmar engines, and with a 20-second interval each engine display says there’s a “Drive ECM error detected,” or something like that. And then the red engine warning light comes on. Is there… What kind of boat do you have?
What? What kind of boat? Yeah, it’s a custom build called T1, built by Jan
Christoffersen at Berg-Olsen in Tønsberg. Then I’d try checking the oil level in those drive tanks. Oil…? If it might be low on oil.
OK. On the drive tanks? You mean, like, the ones out in the corners? I mean, you probably don’t know, since they’re placed differently on every boat, but… Yeah. I think they’re mounted on the engines, actually. The plastic containers, where you top up drive oil. It should be that “High Performance Gear Lube.” Yeah, right? You probably just had a service at Ringstad, right? Didn’t you? That’s exactly right! Martin and Arild and the whole team did a full round on it. So… yeah.
I’m guessing it needs a little top-up there. You’ll see a MIN–MAX on it. That’s perfect. Then I’ll check that.
Yes, do. Thanks a lot for the tip! That was very kind. Yeah, as we realized when docking here, we got two alarms, one on each engine. Twenty seconds apart, which is pretty unlikely, but our good friend Arild at Ringstad, he’s on vacation, but of course he answers when we call. He wondered if we could find a
Yanmar dealer here. There isn’t. So I called Yanmar Norway and spoke to a
very nice guy who said try topping up the drive oil. That’s definitely it. Well, he didn’t say definitely—he said
it very well could be that. So we’ll take it easy for now. And we’ll do it
when we get into our berth, because we have to slide backwards and in
where that wooden boat is lying. We’ll solve things as we go. It’s pretty dry and nice in the bilge now. That’s nothing to worry about. It came from rain and deck washing. That’s totally unavoidable. And down here in the battery compartment, not a drop. So I think I’ve got the answer to
all we’ve had regarding moisture on the keel. Or in the bilge. Because, as someone pointed out, on
the keel is on the underside, so there it’s actually good to have water. In the bilge, that’s the kind of thing that…
Hey down there. Here are your glasses. There are the glasses, thank you. Then you count to… or… Should I turn on the pump? There are three of them,
so should I turn on the middle one first? No, you won’t. That’s exactly it.
I think it’s different from what he says. So first you take the one on the left
and turn it on, leave it on for 3 seconds and turn it off again. Because that’s the one. Yeah, that went great. You turned it off and on, right? No, on. On and then off.
Yes. Then do the same with the other one. How much time was there between on and off? 3 seconds. Yes. Good. Thanks! Same. That’s them.
That’s right. It is them. Because we hear the clicking sound. Like, a solenoid valve. It’s designed so that when it
gets a pulse, it pulls up a stop. And then, when it’s switched off again,
it lets it drop back down. So that means… I can hear that it gets… that it clicks when you turn it on, but you can’t really hear whether the magnet shoots up. But I’m
wondering if the middle one is the pump? And when we’ve started that one, we haven’t pressed
any of the others. Then we need to get down here, replace that fuse, and then
we have to try the new method. Then you’re off to the gym again! I’m heading back to the fitness center now. Yeah, and I need
a Phillips screwdriver and a fuse, and I’ll also look for that oil. And me. Yes, I always need you. I feel like we’re pretty familiar with this
room down here now. Yeah.
Because now I understand the principle. No one has ever—or he’s
probably tried to explain to me— it, but I haven’t managed to grasp that you both have to pump and open, and then… What’s happened before, right, is
that we’ve started the pump, and it hasn’t been opened, so it’s just been trying to push diesel into the petrol—no, the diesel tank. It hasn’t worked because it hasn’t been opened. So if I manage to think and do it right now, then that should start vibrating when I start it, and then it should stop vibrating when that valve opens. Let’s try. How’s the gauge doing? It’s going up. I’m so happy!
That’s great! I’m so happy! Anything to add there now?
No, just that now the port tank is filling up, and that one is going down. So it checks out! Uh… the thing is…
For the extra tank, is that one tank?
There are three tanks. But they’re open between them.
A-ha. It was great getting familiar with that. Have you found the right oil, Hans Christian? Yes, I’ve found the oil
and I’ve found the oil tank. OK.
The oil looks like this. And the oil tank… The tank is mounted on the engine, but it’s completely empty. So there’s no doubt that that’s what’s wrong. Then we’ve got one liter, it looks like. But it gets to here. Now it’s well within the level it should have. There. Put it in there. Then it needs to be clipped in. Make sure the bottle doesn’t tip over. Yeah.
OK. All right. I think we’ll start like that, and then we’ll double-check after the next trip. Great!
Then you can come straight in and see what happens when we turn on the power. Is there anything I should do back here, or? Yes. We have to turn the keys on again. There, the keys are on. Then let’s see what happens when it gets power. Error message gone! Isn’t that lovely?
Yes, absolutely fantastic! I get so happy! Others, who know a lot about boat engines and such, they’re thinking now, oh, poor thing. But that’s absolutely right. “Oh, what poor things?” Poor things. No, no, but what’s
so nice is that you get a sense of mastery
from each new thing you do. And when we had those two big Caterpillar engines, I had to learn everything step by step there too. We managed to learn those
engines, and now we’re well underway with learning the Yanmar. Are you happy with the berth, madam shipowner?
Very good! Great! Welcome to Skagen! Thank you so much!
Thanks same to you! So nice that you’ve rented bikes for us. Yes, and the same place as last year.
Yes. But what are you up to now? Well, suddenly there was no power anymore, so I
went around checking. You changed the socket here first, checked fuses, I went down to the other pier. Tried there. No power. Talked
to a friendly Norwegian. He had power.
But, then I opened this one.
Oh! And it was all weird. So now I’m trying to get
far enough into the cable so the copper is normal again, and I don’t really have the right tools to do it. Then you keep doing that, and I’ll come back to you.
Yeah, it’ll all work out, but we need to get going on our bike ride
soon. Yes. Because the weather is so nice today.
We will. Right now I’m packing the bag for
the beach, and there are things that have to come along. But first and foremost, beach towels, water shoes, sunscreen. And then we’re going to “Super Brugsen” to buy some cold water and
maybe some food to bring along. It’s actually much nicer
to come back to the boat after a long day at the beach
when the dishes are done. So I had to get started on that a bit now. Do you have hot water now?
And out there the bikes are waiting for us.
What did you say, Hans Christian? Hi! I was just asking if
there’s hot water now? I’m writing a message, or like a post,
to all the members. No, all the subscribers, about
today’s power-related tasks and so on.
Yes. I didn’t take hot water now. That was kind. Because you’re going to shower,
so I’ll heat water instead. We haven’t quite gotten control of our
water heater yet, but if I know Andersen, you’ll figure it out too. Today you solved the power problem.
And I like that you’re wearing glasses over glasses. Yeah. There was someone in the shop on Anholt. She said that too. “Yeah, that was bold!” I think it’s positive. Great.
See you soon on the way to the beach. It’s going to be a day at the beach! Yes, the time has come! Now we’re finally on our way. The bikes are packed. I call this precision-packing of Danish breakfast and bathing gear. The sunscreen has been delivered.
Oh, look at that. So there was that guy in the produce section, the one I talked to earlier. Yeah?
He said these are Denmark’s best strawberries. So we’ll soon find out what they taste like. If you keep an eye out and shout,
I’ll cycle carefully. Yes. Let’s see what happens. I hope the next shot you
see isn’t a cutaway to a crashed Danish lunch all over the asphalt. Oh! Knock on wood. Oh no! There are more bumps
in the road than last year. Is it stuck back there?
Yup! Whoops! It happened! But it happened right as the bike
was being parked. It’s fine. Then it’ll be all-in-one, then.
Yeah, yeah. That’s absolutely legendary. “All-in-one, economical to use”—that’s the name of a spice. Clumsy? That’s me. Then we’re ready for departure. Yes.
I tidied up the food a bit. You mean you ate, right? No, I didn’t eat. And one
has parked with regular bike parking, and one
has parked with Vesterhavet bike parking. Did I mention, Denmark’s best?
Yes. Okay. Off we wander to the beach. Very nice to get a bit of exercise. There are many other lovely spots too, but— It’ll be the same spot we’ve been to, third year running? Is it?
Yes. Recommended! At North Beach. Today there’s a north wind, so normally this wouldn’t be recommended, but when the north wind is two meters
per second, you don’t feel it anyway. Then it actually just feels really nice. Yes, that’s true. The coastal landscape
changes from year to year, so finding that favorite
spot wasn’t so easy. So now
I’ve gone a bit too far compared to Lilli’s preferences, so now there’s a bit of a tiny bit of a sulky look in her walk there. But it’ll brighten right up
when she sees how lovely it is here. She might not like that
black thing there, though. I should have covered it. But otherwise it’s gorgeous. A warm welcome to paradise!
Thank you so much. I’m going to look at all the pretty stones.
Yes. We can sit here.
Yes. There are two flaws. One is that thorn bush and the other is that black thing there. But I’ll move it.
No stress. Then we just need to put up the wind shelter tent for the cool box. And it’s that easy. And now watch how easily I remove that one. Into the shade with the crashed Danish lunch. And milk. Shall we taste the strawberries, as they say. Have you already tasted one?
No. Were they Denmark’s best?
Maybe I tasted one then.
Was it good? They were super good. Converted to Norwegian? 600 kr per kilo? 20 Danish. 20 Danish? That’s cheaper than back home, then. Very good.
Very good. Then I hereby declare Norwegian strawberries to be better than Danish ones, if these are
Denmark’s best. I was about to say the same.
Norwegian strawberries are very, very good. That was delicious! Just imagine when she gets a
Norwegian punnet. Goodness. She’ll go wild. And speaking of going wild, now it’s time to sunbathe.
Lunch in an hour and a half, then?
Yes. We’ve had a visitor on the beach towel. It suddenly came
crawling up between my legs. That made me nervous. I had to get up a bit quickly, even though it’s just small and cute. Look, its heart is pounding. It’s probably scared. It’s lunchtime now, Andersen. I’m looking forward to it.
Yeah. We’ve tipped over… Uh…
It doesn’t look so bad now. I put it back again. Yeah, that’s fine.
Tomatoes at 19.95 I’m excited now. Enjoy!
Ho ho. And look at the surroundings. Oh, I just lost you.
Look at the surroundings. It’s lovely. It’s been an absolutely amazing day at
the beach. But here it is? I’ve only brought a few more stones along. That should be fine, I think. Yeah, we’re not talking about tons, but what’s the deal? No, I just… Look, they’re nice, okay.
Look, they’re nice! Yeah. Look, they’re…
No. Oh. Look, they’re nice! Hans Christian! I’m talking about the stones. They’re nice. And I fear what’s coming, because there are some in front of us too. It’s completely… Yeah, yeah. Oh no! Don’t look back! What a day at the beach. And so incredibly few people. It’s hard to… No! Don’t bend down.
No! That one too! That one was nice! Oh, that one has stripes! I’ll take that one too. Because it matches… And that one has stripes too. There aren’t many downhills
here, because there aren’t any uphills either. It’s a very flat country, so I can’t exactly argue that the stones will give me better speed on the way home either. So I’m
struggling with this project here. But okay, “Happy wife, happy life!” Are you carrying something heavy? No, I wouldn’t say so.
No. Good! If anyone’s wondering about the bathing water, it’s much better here on
the west side than on the east side. Yeah, so you mean it’s better
here compared to Anholt? Yes. The water is much fresher here.
Yeah. No, well then we know that. We’re going to bike.
Secret stone-cam. No. Now you go away. Stop it! But anyway, we’re going to upload… But they are very beautiful. You get points for that. Yes, they’re really lovely.
Yin Yang. Now I’ll find the keys and then we’ll bike.
Yes. I mean it! If you’re renting bikes
in Skagen, rent from these folks. What does it say? Skagen bicycle rental. They’re almost new bikes, and that’s
not the point, but they service them, and there’s pride in the bike rental. And pride in the bike rental— that’s the only bike rental
you should use. Then we shift gears.
Two. Oh! Now the hunger has set in. We need to get some food. Shall we try to repeat last year’s success? Yes, I think our Danish friend
with the open-faced sandwiches is a very big favorite. The alternative would have to be Skagen Fish Restaurant. Yes.
But there was a 30‑meter queue. Yes.
So we won’t bother. No.
No. We could consider booking a table there tomorrow. The weather’s supposed to be great. Yes.
We’ll see. It’ll be what it’ll be, and you can come along if you want. And it turned into a table! Well now! It’s only now
I’ve really arrived in Denmark. At least in Skagen. Herring and curry salad! Now I’m in Skagen! It’s midnight and completely quiet in the marina at Skagen
Pleasure Boat Harbor, as it’s so nicely called! Here in T1 it’s time to go to bed. The weather forecast ahead is a bit mixed. The Danish forecast says pretty
nice weather, and that’s the one we trust. Tomorrow, however, it’s going to be gray and rainy. But we’ll just take note of that and make the best of it. Good night! We’ve had a skipper’s council now.
Yes. And that resulted in an earlier departure from Skagen. One day earlier. Yes, so the first order of business was to return
the bikes to the fantastic Skagen Bike Rental, which we
use every time we’re in Skagen. Yes.
So now they’re returned, and there’s a live at 12. And then we’ll go to the shop. Yes, we will.
And buy olive oil. Yes, and here there’s a dog that’s tried
to get in through the wall. Is the dress inside out? The dress is inside out. Things went a bit fast. So it was good you mentioned it, I think. We’re stopping by the shop as mentioned, and then we’ll head for the Swedish coast
before the wind arrives. That’s what has made
us want to settle this quickly. And that’s how it is on a boat sometimes. You just have to make the decision
as you see the weather. We knew it was going to get bad on
Tuesday, so we were leaving before that anyway. Preferably tomorrow, but now it’s pretty much calm and super straightforward to cross over to Sweden. There are many things to think about
when you’re going such a stretch. It’s no more than three and a half hours
for us, but Even the fuel consumption is affected by
which way the wind is blowing and which way the waves are going. Lovely Skagen! Next time we’ll stay longer. Aye aye, captain! We’re ready for departure. We decided rather abruptly
this morning to leave today, because of the weather that’s coming. Right now we don’t have
any guaranteed spot to go to. So that’ll be fun, fun, fun!
It’ll be fun. OK. Then I’ll start up and you take the lines fore and aft. Yes, I’ll just take the first one that goes… The one that’s lying in…
Yeah, yeah. The one that’s on shore you take first. Yes, and then we give power there and power there. And then we hope now that the error message hasn’t
come back again. We’re starting. Both engines are running. We’ll let them do that
for a few seconds before we leave, and then we’ll call Lilli. Can you hear me?
I hear you well. That’s very, very nice.
Let’s see then whether I can keep the last earbud. Yes, because the other one fell in the water? Yes, but I haven’t swum and dived after it either. No. It’ll be a bit small to find, I think.
But then I’ll take the line that’s ashore.
Do that. Then my plan is to turn hard to port and back myself out. Engage the thruster outward. Then we’ll get some distance from our friend in the Azimut,
which is lying 25 centimeters in front of us. And then, when we’ve
come a bit up alongside, before we touch that floating dock
there, then we need to start changing
direction and make a 180 degrees and out. In the LIVE broadcast now I got a question
about why I don’t use the joystick, and it’s a bit embarrassing to admit it. But I’m so fond of them. I can’t really get this under
my skin. I think it would’ve been different, no offense to Yanmar’s joystick, but
it’s on drives. I think it
would have been different with Volvo’s IPS. I’ve used that, after all. One line left.
One line left. But it’s a matter of habit. Like everything else. We’re free. OK. Then I’m reversing now, and hopefully outward. Let’s see. Wait a little bit. Watch that swim platform, Hans Christian.
I’m going out onto the swim platform now. Yes. Yes!
Are you there now? Yes! How are we looking aft then? Count for me. We have one and a half meters left to the floating dock. OK.
One meter left now. It was a bit strange that it turned out to be so few days, but it’ll be lovely to get
over to Sweden again too. We really enjoy Sweden.
I can’t quite decide. I kind of want to just go
straight to Kärringön and gamble, and see if there might be a spot to squeeze into.
But… We’ve at least agreed
that we won’t go to Gothenburg, because that would be too long a stretch
tomorrow to get to Kärringön,
where we’ve booked a spot for tomorrow. Then it’s time for a little summary
of the berth we got in Skagen. A spot we recommend, but which is perhaps a bit tiring in the middle of peak holiday season. Right outside the fish restaurants on Stenkaien. As you see on the chart here,
it’s a great spot. Very sheltered. Very central
and quite easy to maneuver into, but you end up lying seven meters
from the tap tower of five different pretty well-visited
restaurants. So you should want to be part of the party
if you stay there in mid-summer. Otherwise there’s another harbor basin
that’s at least open in the middle of summer, so there are alternatives. But for now it was a
very nice and pleasant place to stay. Very happy that we got that spot. It’s the first time we’re
here with a 17-meter boat. But we’ll be back here. That’s quite a fishing boat. Now Lilli is on board. She’s on the aft deck and we are putting to sea. Here you can see that we’ve moved two full day- tanks over from the reserve tank. And there’s still half a tank on the reserve, so
we had plenty of fuel with us. Fueled up a couple of times in Sweden before
we figured out that transfer, but now I honestly think we’ll make it all the way home,
and then some, on Norwegian duty-free diesel. Thank you so much! Thanks for the great cast-off! Yes, I just have to say it. You’re an exceptionally good captain. It’s the crew that makes the captain good. That’s great, then. It’s like Stordalen
says, as a boss you should always have people around you who are better than you,
so you have something to reach for and learn from. Yes. I think we have good communication.
It works well. I’m very happy about that.
We only have one earbud left, in the ear, because the other one’s gone. Yes.
But it’s fine. It’s fine. It ended up being just one day on
the beach in Skagen. In here the beaches lie like pearls on
a string. There’s the lighthouse in Skagen. We’ll now set course for Sweden, and as we see here,
Skagens Rev—there it’s important to get on the outside. There’s actually one there
as well, but as long
as we stay out here, it’ll be fine. 3 hours and 39 minutes at this speed, it says.
Arrival at 17:00. Where do you think we should go? Somewhere near Kärringön! We can try Kärringön,
and see if there’s a free berth. I don’t think we’ll manage that, but that
would just be a bonus if so. Yes.
Alternatively, Möllesund, Kyrkesund. Yes, the places are close together
once we get there. OK. A bit of engine nerding. We’ve gotten some questions about consumption,
and here we see that we’re logging 10.3 knots now. And then one engine uses
13.5 and the other about 13. So that means 26.5 liters per hour. That’s 2.6 liters per nautical mile, as
far as I can figure on the fly. What I’d like to get set
up is the function for consumption per nautical mile. Because then you can easily find out which speed
is most favorable, and that function is in here. But it’s not set up, and then I’ll
need some help from someone who knows the Raymarine– and Yanmar connection.
