At Ram Marina in Guatemala, Captain Natalie and her father manually turn over the engine of their Young Son 50, Far Side, for the first time in three years.0:33 The original Manny Mercedes diesel has logged nearly 14,000 hours and hundreds of thousands of sea miles; turning it by hand was necessary to prevent the inline from seizing.0:42 After several rotations the engine moved freely, and a post-inspection confirmed the oil level was correct, no oil had leaked out, and no water had entered — a strong result for an engine that old.28:31 The boat is mid-refit at Ram Marina: bronze fittings have been coated, teak veneer panels replaced throughout the salon, stairs and doors re-varnished, and a stanchion base re-caulked after serious water intrusion first discovered during heavy weather between Little Inagua and Turks and Caicos.10:31 New teak decks were already completed.14:56 Outstanding work includes a hydraulic steering fluid leak that soaked a teak panel so thoroughly that varnish would not adhere — a replacement panel is being fabricated.12:22 A dehumidifier was added to manage ongoing humidity damage.13:26 The dinghy is missing and expected to take two to three days to locate.8:56
