Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Jerome Rand and guest Colin Denker discuss the challenges of maintaining older diesel engines and the importance of routine maintenance for offshore passages.8:06 The conversation focuses on a Yanmar engine, specifically the necessity of changing oil and fuel filters, checking transmission fluid levels, and inspecting zincs on both the engine and the heat exchanger.55:41 Rand notes the difficulty of interpreting technical manuals for his own Perkins engine, often relying on resources like Nigel Calder’s guides or instructional videos instead.54:40 The pair also highlights the critical need to inspect potential failure points like whisker stay anchor points, which are prone to corrosion and cracking near the waterline.1:02:46 Beyond maintenance, Denker shares his long-term goal of sailing from the Carolinas to Ireland via Bermuda and the Azores.59:10 Rand emphasizes the psychological value of "projection"—mentally visualizing a future destination—to maintain motivation during difficult conditions at sea.1:00:02
