After striking a submerged log during a 320-mile passage from Komodo to the south coast of Sulawesi, Indonesia, the owner of the 100-kilogram engine on Learning By Doing discovers all four engine mounts have snapped.2:20 The impact caused the engine to shift forward approximately three centimeters, yet the vessel remained operational, allowing the owner to motor the final four hours to an anchorage in Paso Wajo.6:17 Despite the damage, the cooling system, alternator, and propeller shaft remained intact.6:33 The repair process involves removing the alternator and heat exchanger to gain access to the engine hangers, lifting the engine by hand to replace the mounts, and sourcing local assistance to extract rusted studs from the damaged hardware.7:58 The owner utilizes two spare mounts on board and plans to realign the propeller shaft once the new mounts are secured.7:37 The project highlights the necessity of self-reliance and improvisation when performing major engine repairs in remote anchorages.
