CHANGING OUR ENGINES: the hardest part | YANMAR to NANNI [Ep126 RED SEAS]

[@Spoon279]

Tune in next week when a critical malfunction launches Iain out of the engine bay and into the water where a pair of Tahitian Sea lions bring his semi-conscious body back to the dock. Great stuff.

[@RedSeas]

Wait….are you a patron with early access?!?! How could you possibly know that’s what happens 😂

Hi guys, all I can say every time I see your videos I get so excited because I know it’s going to be a lot of fun. I just really love and appreciate you know you’ve put a lot of fun into life. Keep up the good work Cliff from Australia

[@RedSeas]

Cheers Cliff. Our goal is to put a smile on your face so hopefully we manage that. It’s all good fun and we just have to go with the flow..even when that isn’t always the direction we were hoping. Thanks for watching and following the adventure.

[@Ross_MC]

Oh you lovely pair of ^&*^*! That cliff hanger got me proper shouting at the screen "nOoOoOOOOooooOOoooO!" Well played. Seriously well done you two! Can't wait to see the next one!

[@RedSeas]

😜 sorry mate! I mean it had to be done right? Trust me, things are never as simple as we hope they would be so next week should be a really fun episode. Sit tight.

[@Ross_MC]

@@RedSeas Oh 100% :) Can't wait!

[@tomsmith2173]

the gold colored u-shaped mounting bracket has a dimple under it that is meant to go in the slot just behind the black end of the main part of the cable, about 1" to the left. this ensures that the exterior part of the cable stays in line with the interior push-pull part of the cable as well as keeping the exterior part stationary

[@RedSeas]

Ok great. Thank you for the clarification. I will have to jump in and see if I can sort that. Nothing like learning on the job 😜 appreciate you taking the time to explain it for us.

[@davethompson5581]

Yes, I noticed that as well on the video shot of the throttle cable.

[@davidperham897]

Didn't see you bleed the injectors, so next week will be interesting!

Cool so bouth engines are now installed good job

[@RedSeas]

Yeah! Super pleased that they both fit. Just need them to fire up

[@dirk3730]

You guys are masters of the cliffhanger 😂 If those engines do start Nanni could not buy better publicity. Really hope they started hopefully we'll find out next week ❤

[@RedSeas]

Hang in there. We are sooooo close. It’s going to be a fun week

[@jonunya3128]

I've seen other channels use nylon/plastic cutting boards to mount controls to.. cheap and not bad looking. also be super sure you have the electrical grounding correct..

[@RedSeas]

Yeah, it’s a great solution. Our helm display is actually mounted like that. Perhaps we need to look around the kitchen departments of some stores for new cutting board 🤔 we were thinking about glassing it or perhaps even using our 3d printer to make something. But cutting board is a reliable option.

[@gskii9462]

..oh Man,,, talk about a 'Cliff Hanger',,,, lol,,,, good job on leaving us wanting more,,,, I predict all is good and it was successful start,,,,

[@RedSeas]

Who doesn’t love a cliff hanger?!? It will be a fun episode to share next week. Perhaps we should open the polls on what happens when the key is turned?

@@RedSeas something to look forward to next Sunday

[@jeffsallus8406]

Let me know if you need anymore of the screen material I sent you

[@RedSeas]

Man that material has been soooo useful. Bri haven’t stopped making things. I think the only thing slowing her down has been lack of solar power to run the machine 😂 We will absolutely let you know if we run short. I’m nervous that we end up putting the whole boat in a big sock of fabric at this rate 😜 Check out those two back panels tho! They are so good at getting the cockpit temperature down while we can still see what’s going on around us. Need to find some more fixings so we can finish the saloon windows tho.

[@hagdav]

What a Cliff Hanger! We have to wait a week to see Iain get blown out of the back of the boat! 😆

Cheers. Sorry to leave you hanging but next week will be a great ep

[@FrantzHuby]

OMG, how can you do that to us? Gosh, you guys are not only good in replacing engines but putting suspens in your videos as well. LOL. Perfect, and, I may be wrong but I am sure those guys will start right away!

[@RedSeas]

Well, it had to be done right? We honestly had no idea what was about to happen so figured everyone could enjoy that same feeling for a bit. Next week will be a fun episode to share with KZbin. Hopefully our patrons can keep the results hush hush until then 😜

[@latitudeash]

To make that dark look good get a sheet of ply and stick it over that area and cut new holes out. Would look good once coated in epoxy and given a sanding.

[@RedSeas]

“That dark”?

[@latitudeash]

@@RedSeas dash. Aka where the instrument cluster lives.

[@RedSeas]

That’s one idea. We have to play around. But ply with some glass over it would probably work best.

[@Raudoc2k1]

The joy or doing things your self. When you finally get to turn it on for the first time and find out if you did everything right or not. You might have some priming issues but with how simple those engines are you shouldn't have much issues with. Air in the fuel system can be a challenge, though air in the raw water system might cause a few hick ups as well. Would like to know how that anti-siphon system works and why it was suggested to add it. Well until next week have fun and stay cool.

[@RedSeas]

Yeah, it’s a bit like sitting an exam after weeks of studying. If we did it all right then all should be well but if not then we have a real head scratcher. As for the anti syphon loop, it’s positioned at the output of the impeller pump. The idea being that we essentially have a gravity feed of raw water “primed” for the cooling system. This way the engine will always have raw water at startup. If air gets into the thruhull as a result of air passing along the hull at speed etc, it is bled out this way and we get a pretty clear indication of any raw water blockage in a visible way. It’s belts and braces for sure but we figured why not treat these puppies well.

[@jeffsallus8406]

Love to see the amount of subscribers going up every week

[@RedSeas]

It’s been unreal! We are so close to the elusive 10k. Please do keep spreading the word. If everyone who washes were to invite a friend, that would be crazy

I would have seen if the old cables could be re-used. Save sooooo much work.

[@RedSeas]

They were is pretty bad condition and the new looks are far better quality.

[@SiScasWorld]

You probably know this by now, heat expands iron metall, cold shrinks it 😅 regarding the bolt that was stuck. Just spent a couple of weeks binging all of your episodes, and oh my, you've been through a bit! Inspirational it is to see you coming over to the other side of any obstacles thrown your way.

Hi, thanks for taking the time to check out the adventure. It’s been a wild ride for sure. I guess we always figure that the tough moments will turn into great stories one day so why not try and enjoy the moment…not that we manage that every time. There have been some pretty tricky moments. 😂

No doubt it fires up. You've done a great job here.

[@RedSeas]

Here’s hoping. 🤞🏼

[@tomsmith2173]

would have been helpful if he said that the reason it was incorrect was because the slot on the end of the throttle cable is supposed to fit under the hold-down clamp on the engine

[@RedSeas]

Ah interesting. The alignment of the cable bracket to the left and the throttle cable would have me think it fits to the external face of the throttle arm. Perhaps I will have a play with that and see if it swings behind. That’s what you mean?

[@juliedouglas2888]

Cheers for following along. The more people that hear about the channel, the better chance we can keep this adventure going. It’s been one wild ride so far and with these new engines, we are super excited to see where we end up next.

[@swedishkev]

Shame you guys couldn't have painted the engine areas white beforehand,would look alot nicer. Good job, what a cliffhanger you left us in, lol.

[@RedSeas]

It would have been fun to paint white instead of the green it is currently but it would probably have turned into a full bilge repaint through the whole boat (never know where to draw the line). Still, it cleaned up pretty well and the new silver insulation makes the whole engine bay much nicer to be in.

[@johnroux4919]

Awww, you got me! I wasn't expecting a cliffhanger! I should have realized there was a high probability of it. Looking forward to the next episode!

[@RedSeas]

Well.. it had to be done. 😀 next weeks episode will make it all worth it. I promise. Going to be so much fun sharing what happened next.

[@donjackson4883]

Please double clamp every hose and retighten after the first few short heat cycles.

[@RedSeas]

That’s exactly what we did 😀 the guys at Nanni were super quick to pick up on that too and shot us a message asking that we doubled up all the clips. Great eyes

[@carolkar5687]

[@codegame027]

Doe these new engines support NEMA2000?
