The Curse of Our Perkins 4.108: Engine Failure and Rebuild | Sailing Avocet
We thought our Perkins 4.108 engine troubles were behind us when we left California, but while transiting the Sea of Cortez, Mexico, we faced a complete engine failure. After limping back to La Cruz from Isla Isabel, we dug into the issue and discovered—surprise, surprise—the same old problem returned. This time, we’re diving deeper to see if we can rebuild the Perkins 4.108 engine, or if we’ll need to replace it entirely. Will it be a fix or a full replacement? Watch now to find out!
