Ce que couvre cette vidéo
A 46-ft sailboat transits from the San Blas Islands to Panamarina, Panama, to perform engine maintenance before a planned canal crossing.1:03 The 52-mile passage takes approximately nine hours, with the crew maintaining a speed of 3 to 4 knots alongside a 47-ft companion vessel.3:15 Upon arrival at Panamarina, the owner removes the engine's heat exchanger, turbocharger, and exhaust elbow to address severe internal corrosion and blockage.10:32 The original cast-metal exhaust elbow is replaced with a stainless steel unit from HDI Marine to prevent future degradation.16:57 The owner utilizes the marina’s workshop to clear seized bolts and clean the heat exchanger core, applying LanoCote to fasteners and O-rings to mitigate galvanic corrosion and facilitate future disassembly.21:17 Replacement gaskets and O-rings are sourced from a parts4engine.com kit.25:23 The maintenance process is completed with the assistance of fellow cruisers, restoring the engine to operational status for the upcoming transit.27:38
