The owner of the catamaran Viento Del Mar performs a major engine replacement and sail upgrade while hauled out at Bundaberg Marina.3:10 To remove the 39-horsepower, 1600cc Yanmar diesel, the crew strips the alternator and starter motor to reduce weight, then maneuvers the 130-kilogram engine through the head and shower compartment using a custom gantry system.1:06 After installing a rebuilt engine, the boat fails to start due to a blown 200-amp fuse, which is identified and replaced for $22.16:37 The project also includes servicing the SD-40 sail drive clutch, applying Lanox lanolin to the folding propellers to inhibit barnacle growth, and inspecting the hull’s escape hatch seals.19:02 Following the engine work, the owner replaces a 20-year-old mainsail with a new unit, noting a slight reduction in sail area.27:52 Before relaunching, the crew verifies all seacocks, checks oil levels, and confirms the engine starts reliably.17:16 The vessel is successfully moored stern-to in the marina, with the owner preparing for a planned May 1st departure.24:59
