How do you keep the engines cool before it's launched

Hi Andrew, Great question, The engines don’t get hot enough to need cooling at Idle… the engines have an internal cooling system that keeps them cool for so long… and then that system is cooled by seawater after launch.

Why so slow? How come the retaining rope/wire is released by hand and not mechanically by the Coxwain or even automatically?

Training launches are not rushed, and they are released manually because it's safer to do so. The system is tried and tested, and it's what we think works best for boat and shore crew.

Need much longer ramp. Don't you wish everyday/night exercise had such calm seas?

Why? It seemed to work good.

@@lindanwfirefighter4973 Just kidding about the ramp. A longer ramp would have been a hoot but it may have turned the boat into a torpedo and gone under. I used to do Marine SAR but in RIB's. But in an RIB efficiency drops off after 2 hrs or so in bad weather. Cheers from Canada

Nice boat how old is it? I used to camp with my parents near there, sadly, when I was 10, 45 years ago, saw the lifeboat men return with a body bag. Another holiday maker who bought an inflatable and thought it would be a good idea if they could go out to sea.

3 minutes to launch a lifeboat when lives are at stake... Really?🤦‍♂

It's a routine training launch, so no rush.

Never rush these things. Taking 3 minutes to ensure everything is good can save you several minutes correcting issues at sea.
