Cosa tratta questo video
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
