The crew of the Open 66 NV, currently undergoing an engine replacement in North Borneo, details the essential components and service parts sourced from Nanni for remote-area cruising. To ensure fuel system reliability in regions where fuel quality is inconsistent, they installed a Racor pre-filter featuring a transparent bowl for water separation, a floating water-stop valve, and a heat-shielded housing.2:04 They also added a Nanni siphon break to prevent engine flooding by allowing air into the cooling circuit when the engine is off, effectively breaking the vacuum that could otherwise draw seawater into the cylinders.9:43
The upgrade includes a new control panel, a classic-style throttle lever, and new Ultraflex control cables to replace corroded components.13:14 To facilitate long-term maintenance, the crew purchased four years of service kits containing oil and diesel filters, impellers, gaskets, and sacrificial anodes for the exhaust elbow to mitigate galvanic corrosion.15:16 The crew emphasizes that carrying these specific spares is critical for self-sufficiency when cruising in remote locations like Indonesia.
