Removing our YANMAR ENGINES - not going to plan! [Ep120 RED SEAS]
We are taking on the biggest boat refit of our lives as we remove both our old Yanmar engines and replace them with brand new Nanni N4.50s. In this video we have to disconnect all the wires and plumbing from our starboard engine but a few seized bolts on the coupling and some badly placed fibreglass turn this job into a week long ordeal.
We’ll figure it out eventually but for now, enjoy the chaos and the mayhem of two people who know nothing about engines trying to become mechanics!

Our BOAT just got BIGGER!

LIFE CHANGING: sailing final 100 miles!
