On this episode of Sailing Vessel Triteia I dive below to check the propellers position before setting the engine in its final spot and drilling the new holes in the engine bracket. I then continue on hooking up the control cables, exhaust system and fuel lines and finally hooking up the water intak...
After the engine died in the middle of the Malacca Straits in the middle of the night, we managed to get it fixed. But how? What happened, exactly? Was it an oil pressure problem or was it something else?
