- Within a matter of weeks, at least seven motorboats were broken into at Wieltsee in Lower Saxony, and their engines and parts were stolen.  
- A tampered-with boat sank at the club jetty, causing an oil and petrol spill; the damage there amounts to around 45,000 euros.  
- The police are investigating without any suspects, whilst clubs are considering additional security measures, such as CCTV, in response to a suspected spate of incidents.

- Full fuel tanks, equipment and fouling increase the yacht’s weight and drag, reducing speed and efficiency compared to the shipyard sea trial.
- ECU remapping within the manufacturer’s specified limits, combined with a suitable propeller, boosts performance and early planing, whilst reducing specific fuel consumption.
- Example: Following optimisation, a 26-metre yacht achieves higher speeds, lower engine load and significant fuel savings at cruising speed.

Technology: How ECU remapping can benefit motor yachts

- If the engine stops suddenly because a line has become entangled in the propeller, ensuring the safety of the boat and crew takes priority over troubleshooting.
- Do not restart the engine without first checking it, as this risks bent shafts, faulty seals and creeping gearbox damage.
- Move the boat out of danger, disengage the clutch, pull gently on the line; otherwise, submerge the boat or seek towing assistance and head for the harbour.

Inboard

- Annual DIY maintenance of 4-stroke outboard motors prevents breakdowns, extends their service life and increases their resale value.  
- Key tasks: Check and replace spark plugs, fuel filters, engine and gearbox oil, impeller; check lubrication, anodes and the battery; and keep a record of all work carried out.  
- Safety, the correct tools, adherence to the manual’s specifications and a test run with water cooling are crucial; a specialist workshop is required in the event of warranty claims or damage.

- Thanks to solar panels on the roof, the PY60 is designed to enable long-distance cruising without an external power supply; top speed: 11 knots.
- The first Pioneer One will be launched in 2026, tested by founder Mike Frank himself and presented at the Cannes Yachting Festival.
