REINSTALLING our old engine! | BEST generator HACK ever! [Ep129 RED SEAS]
We re-install our rusty, old generator because we need better redundancy to power our sailboat when our solar panels just aren't enough. We think we've come up with a sneaky trick to give our generators super powers while we're at it so that it will output dual voltages - both 110V AN...![ENGINE REFIT: was it worth it?

We've installed the two new engines on our boat but now comes the most important part - and if we get it wrong, we're screwed!

As there's a cyclone headed our way, we decided to get to work on the second engine so...![NANNI: the FIX to all our YANMAR PROBLEMS!
