Qué cubre este vídeo
The crew of the 40-ft sailboat Nandji 2 replaces their aging diesel engine with a new Yanmar 110-hp motor while docked in Hout Bay, South Africa.15:22 After months of planning, the team coordinates the move from their marina pen to the wharf on a calm morning, utilizing a local yacht club crane nicknamed "Fossil" to extract the old engine and lower the new unit into the companionway.12:17 Because the new engine is larger than the original, the crew removes external components to fit it through the hatch before reassembling it in the engine bay.14:30 The installation includes a dual-station starter system with a C35 cockpit panel and a secondary V20 display and start-stop button at the navigation station.18:42 During the process, the crew repairs delaminated plywood in the bathroom roof using penetrating epoxy.4:44 The project concludes with the engine positioned in its bed, awaiting final gearbox installation and electrical cabling.16:41
