We sail from Langkawi to Phuket Thailand. The day after we check into Thailand we get our engine checked out by Volvo Penta mechanics, and they find several problems! The biggest issue was a few cracks in the heat exchanger! But, we also need a new turbo, and a few other small but expensive thing...

So how does a cooling system on a marine diesel engine work and how do you dismantle it to clean it?...
We punctured the return line while trying to tighten a bolt after bleeding the line of air, so we purchased a brand new return line and installed it.

After successfully getting the saildrive back in, it was time to test the engine. We put the heat exchanger back on after testing the thermostat and replacing the bleed off valve that was stripped. The test turns out great, except Kruger broke the return fuel valve forcing us to spend more money and...
After waiting 4 weeks for saildrive parts, it turned out the dealer ordered the wrong ones. Reason being, we had a 130S top and a 120S bottom which neither they nor we noticed. The dealer did set us up with a used, but in good condition, lower saildrive for the same prices as the repair. With a litt...
Our ongoing Volvo Penta engine saga continues. We decide to replace the waterlock in the exhaust hose before ours finally gives up and fills the boat with water. All seemed to go well until we read the installation instructions and realised that this was not going to be as simple as we thought.

We start to tackle the biggest project of our repairs on land, the engine/saildrive⛵️. With the help of a manual and some 🖥 Youtubers who have gone before us, we are able to get the sail drive out in a day. But as we are cleaning everything to prep for a change of seals, we run into a big issue. Big...
A very technical episode where we dive into the final segment of the Autopilot (Autohelm) repairs for our Raymarine (Raytheon) Type 2 Rotary Drive. We also remove the heat exchangers on our Volvo Penta D2-55 to try to diagnose why we are getting white smoke above 1750 RPMs. We inspect for potential ...
We try to leave Porth Dinllaen in North Wales only to find that we have electrical and engine problems. We suspect that we may have salt water corrosion from the water ingress at Beaumaris. Unfortunately, the nearest well supplied port is Holyhead, 35 miles away across Caernarfon Bay and we need to ...
In this episode our 35 year old sailing yacht experiences a critical engine failure which leaves us stranded and unable to proceed unless we can fix the problem.
The engine is essential to make our way through the locks system on the Caledonian canal. Even with super experienced sailors on board, s...

Join us for a few days of cruising on the Inside Passage in British Columbia, Canada. A mix of ups and downs with nice waterfalls, seals, sailing but then we run into engine problems again and drift in a narrow channels with lots of rocks and shoals. AH! In other words, just a typical liveaboard-day...

In this "Boat Work" video I replace the 26-year-old saildrive diaphragm seal on our boat. I disconnect the saildrive from the engine, move the engine forward, then remove the saildrive assembly from the boat. I then split the saildrive leg from the ...
In this video, I replace the diaphragm on my 130S saildrive and I finally get both the saildrive and the engine back in the engine compartment.

This week I finally got to put up sound insulation in the engine compartment! I also take apart the heat exchanger on my Volvo D2-40 to clean it. The expensive surprise of the week is that I need a new exhaust elbow. Dang it!

Hi guys!
Everything not going according to plan..! My old stubbern Volvo Penta 2003T eventually broke down after 32 years of serving. I was lucky the breakdown happened after 10 days of sailing over 340 NM on my summer holiday with my girlfriend at the south part of Norway, 7 NM from my homeport......
The summer is slowly starting in Alaska and we're getting ready to set sail from Hawaii as soon as the weather improves. While waiting we install a new heater which will be needed up north. We also visit John and Amanda from 48 North aboard their Hallberg Rassy 46, Mahina Tiare. Provisioning is...

After sorting out the seawater systems for the engine, next we had to do the diesel and oil. Thankfully, Gaynor has done the diesel maintenance course and I was often involved in fixing diesel tractors when I used to fly, so we reckoned that, between us, it should be a piece of cake
