That particular incident had nothing to do with the Mount's engines. If I recall correctly, she lost hydraulics. At any rate, she was almost down to her dock in Center Harbor when she had to shut everything down, and the wind took her into that boat house about half way up the bay.
My father and I were standing on the dock at Colonial Pines, and watched the whole episode.

Hi Silver Duck. Yes, that must have been a spooky experience!
I'm with you 100%. The Enterprise engines would run indefinitely with good routine maintenance...
If not for the Grant, and Parts for these old engines being hard to find and purchase, they could have continued to power the M/S Mount Washington well into the future.
My point to "idigtractors" was that with the new Cat engines being much more fuel efficient and less polluting, and replacement parts being readily available, it's a win win situation and a very heads Up progressive move for all!...
