How we fixed our GLOW PLUGS and ENGINE SHUT OFF SWITCH on our 1987 MERCEDES Mani-Diesel Engine
Hello Everyone!
In Season 2 Episode 46, we were having issues with our Glow Plugs and Fuel Shut off switch. We have an old 1987 72hp Mercedes Mani-Diesel engine and they had both all of a sudden stopped working. We began by investigating the power connection and wires running from the control panel to the engine. We discovered that when Nathalie had replaced one of our Engine Mounts, some of the wires had disconnected. This was due to corrosion on the engine harness due to a leak from our raw water pump. To fix this we bypassed the engine harness and then the next step was to check the relays to see if they were still working. Unfortunately, we forgot to film the process of using ohm’s to test the relay, which thanks to Raf on Spear It Animal, we were able to discover that both our relays had gone bad for both the Glow Plugs and Fuel Shut Off Switch. This video goes over the steps we used and how we fixed our problems. If you have any tips or suggestions we are always all ears!! We are always learning 🙂

Sailing The Far Side
We are just two sisters living our legacy. Thirty-four years ago our father commissioned a 50’ 'Tradewinds pilot house, cutter, built in the Young Sun yard in Taiwan to fulfill a dream. He began sailing the South Pacific where he met our mom. His travels amounted to over a hundred-thousand sea miles. Having grown up around sailing an the many travel stories our parents shared, we dreamed for more as well. Our sailing passion began with sail camp on Lake Erie, and family trips on ‘The Far Side’ to the Keys and Cuba occasionally. As we grew older, school became a bigger priority, but our passion never faltered. Having both graduated with Bachelors degrees as varsity athletes and scholar students, we are still unfulfilled. Yes we are young but we are ready for the challenge! Join our travels as we learn more about cruising, our dad teaches us what it takes to maintain an old boat, and explore the wonders of the ocean!
