Mads restores two Yanmar diesel engines for a 44-foot hurricane-damaged catamaran, testing both units after performing maintenance and replacing components. He compares the cost of sourcing Yanmar parts from European online retailers versus US-based suppliers, finding that European sources are generally 40% cheaper for many components, though US local dealers remain competitive for specific items like engine control panels.21:06 Maintenance tasks include descaling heat exchangers, installing new starters, and troubleshooting a water pump installed upside down.14:15 During initial testing, the non-submerged engine runs successfully, reaching 72 degrees Celsius with stable oil pressure.15:01 The previously submerged engine runs roughly, which the crew attributes to a faulty fuel injector.15:12 Mads identifies remaining parts needed for final assembly, including wiring harnesses, relays, and temperature switches, and plans to replace the injectors to resolve the rough running.16:20 Testing confirms that while the engines are functional, specific components like injectors and sensors require replacement before the engines are ready for installation.16:30
