E04 SAILBOAT engine insulation, NEW coolant pump Perkins M50 (Volvo MD22L)

Join us weekly for more boat restoration fun!
In this video we get stuck in to some engine room maintenance.
First stop is noise proofing the engine room. We rip out the old insulation and replace it with some foil backed, rubber membraned foam that insulates us from the noise and vibrations of the engine, but also reflects light everywhere making it impossible to not see an engine leak!
Next step is to address a diesel leak and a coolant leak. The coolant leak turns out to be a much bigger job than I had realised. We opted for a full replacement of the coolant water pump, which was definitely not the cheapest way to address the leak, but it helped me learn a lot about the engine and it shouldn’t leak there for another decade or two (hopefully)!
Hope you enjoy watching a total novice try and get to grips with engine maintenance.
Don’t forget to please reach out if you want a pdf copy of the engine workshop manual for the Perkins Prima M50. Note that the Perkins Prima M50 is also the exact same re-labelled engine as the Volvo Penta MD22L.

Sailing Nendaz
We're the Hansons, made up of Flick, Joe and Walter, and we're inviting you to transition with us from our safe, steady, land-based life to a totally new adventure on the high seas aboard our Gib'Sea 402 blue water sailing boat Nendaz. Nendaz is named after a small town in the mountains in Switzerland, one close to our hearts, an ode to our love for the mountains that we can bring with us on our journey across the seas. We're steadily upgrading the boat from a weekend boat to a full-time live aboard and trying to do as much as possible ourselves. Watch as we become mechanics, plumbers, engineers, electricians, carpenters, and finally untie the lines and then the real adventure begins! We post weekly videos every Friday. We're hoping to use this channel to document our adventure and perhaps along the way we might make it all seem a little more attainable for others of you who are craving something a little different from your lives. #liveaboard #sailing #sailingcouple
