Would have to agree.........
Been around a few diesels, and worked with them at Sea as well....
Would probably be the LAST thing Damaged with DC's... and if they were, human life on the boat would probably be non-existant at that point anyways !
Sure you may bend a Wheel, or shaft... but I am confident the Crew could repair that in a pinch if need be. ( And of course on the surface. )
Now down time due to shoddy or improper maintenance, normal Wear and Tear....... I could undestand as that happens.
But you would be surprized how creative crew become when a Motor goes down !
I've helped fashion water seperators made from rolls of toilet paper, cleaned fuel injectors with filed down coat hangers, Cut O-Rings from Rubber Boots.... Ya do what ya have to !
Anywyas......
Sorry for your loss..........
