NEW ENGINE, NEW PROBLEM! [Ep134 RED SEAS]

We installed brand new Nanni engines on our sailing catamaran and all was going smoothly until this week when we discovered a problem. We picked up some dirty fuel somewhere along the way and now our diesel tank is clogging the pick up lines so our engine won't run. We are way off grid and supe...

REINSTALLING our old engine! | BEST generator HACK ever! [Ep129 RED SEAS]

ENGINE REFIT: was it worth it? [LIVE Q&A] [RED SEAS]

We did all the work ourselves without...

Two new engines, ONE BIG PROBLEM! [Ep124 RED SEAS]

We installed a brand new Nanni engine in our boat but it doesn't fit in the space so we need to make new engine beds out of wood and fiberglass to raise it by 5cm so that it will align to our prop shaft. As there's a cyclone headed our way, we decided to get to work on the second engine so...
