Sailing video from Scotland to Poole, we did not make it. After haul-out at Holyhead the engine is removed and completely rebuilt. Boat repairs and improvement boat-projects begin.
But what does it mean to "Rebuild" or "Recondition" a marine diesel engine? This video provides insight.
Starring Michael Schmidt & Partner - The "Yacht Broker". Motive Marine of Southampton, who supplied the Not-Fit-For-Purpose engine to the previous owner, and then they wanted another £3000! to make it Fit-For-Purpose, and RB Marine of Rosneath who filled it full of silicone sealant, and me, the victim of the booby-trap.
Also starring a fantastic engineer and we look inside the engine and see what reconditioning an engine looks like.
A great video for anyone who likes engines, mechanics, or boat-projects. Or, if you're thinking of buying a reconditioned engine for your yacht this video may help inform your conversation.
