Critical Engine Failure - Left Stranded : Ep 8
May 09, 2019 by Sailing Cadoha | Language: EN Play Time: 00:00:08:38 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
In this episode our 35 year old sailing yacht experiences a critical engine failure which leaves us stranded and unable to proceed unless we can fix the problem.
The engine is essential to make our way through the locks system on the Caledonian canal. Even with super experienced sailors on board, sailing through the locks wasn’t an option.
*******SPOILER ALERT*******
If you haven’t watched the video yet and don’t want to ruin what you see, then perhaps come back to read this after.
The Volvo Penta Starter motor on our sailing boat basically self destructed. We got a quote from a Volvo Penta specialist which came to an astonishing £480!!!
After much shopping around we managed to find cheaper aftermarket starter motors for a fraction of the price, the cheapest one we managed to find (£72!!!) was this one here: https://amzn.to/2DXHRO5
Now several people said that a Volvo Penta original part would be better, and if we buy cheap, be prepared to buy twice. Given that we could buy nearly seven after market starter motors for the price of one original, we were more than happy with the possibility of having to buy twice.
Given the the possibility of saving time, however, we managed to find an aftermarket starter motor for just under £100, that was within walking distance of where our yacht was currently stranded, so we were happy to pay the extra £25 and save a few days on the part being delivered.
