Hello everyone! Let us know what you thought of the job in the comments, we love to learn from you guys. And don't forget to check out Rosetta stone for a really fun way to learn tryrosettastone.com/wildlingssailing-1

[@alexstarfield568]

was a very good job and I am happy to have news

[@jimbahneman6553]

It runs well therefore ur dad did a great job happy sailing

[@GUCR44]

I am so happy for you guys... Nothing like a brand new power plant. I can't wait to see how fast she pushes Minki.. Your beautiful home! I wish I was there to help you all. Peace and love Rolfie

[@Artiz...]

What a brilliant 'Wildlings' episode that was... pretty much a year in the making too! I bet your Dad and his engineering skills were the main inspiration for buying Minke in the first place! Without his experience, support and initial encouragement her 'recommissioning' would have been unimaginable Mark! So, so good to see your family all pulling together to help you guys achieve your dreams... you both do deserve it too of course! Couldn't have happened to a nicer more determined and secure partnership than yours! 'Life affirming'! Your unique and authentic 'rags to riches' come 'landlubber to seadogs' sailing epic will be an inspiration in any/all sailing communities, online or otherwise for many years to come... much thanks again for sharing! Best, most inspirational and authentic sailing channel on KZbin... by a very long way!

I think your Dad really enjoyed working on the engine, but your Mum is going to need a vacation from her vacation, she worked so hard! Your parents are both treasures!!!

[@SeekerofGnosis]

I just have to comment on what a wonderful dog Yoshi has turned out to be living in such a loving home! I think he is as excited as anyone to see his arch nemesis run again!

[@davepollypollardthailand5158]

Great to see you bonding with your parents. I was sad when they left. Tell them you Love them. My Dad passed away when I was only 17 years old. We had so many plans. Just found out my Mum Died in UK. I am 66 years old now. Take care x

Even your advertisements are interesting! Mark, you have the best family. Nadi is a hero, mom the painter, dad the mechanic. All in a days work.

Congratulations on installing your rebuilt ENGINE!!!

[@bradfordsimms715]

Best parents ever. A joy too see a happy family working together.

[@darrenrautenbach3936]

Your dad reminds me so much of my dad, he past away three years back and l miss him so much. Always there for me, working on my cars, rebuilding motors. Just bloody good old chaps. Cherish these moments.

[@bootybandy]

Your Dad is a Diamond Mark. What a man. Great to have the engine back and working. Having the reliability of that engine is superb.

[@johnfritz7497]

Not only do you have beautiful parents, your parents have wonderful kids. Great family.

[@WihGlah]

Engine starts first time, idles smoothly, revs properly, doesn't smoke and there's enough power and torque to run the props. Great success.

[@terrireed8949]

So glad your dad could rebuild the engine for y’all. You’ve got great parents Mark your lucky.

[@radams009]

Your dad is good with motors. He is working hard and so is your mom.

[@russgaulke1364]

Having a reliable engine will be a gamechanger for you both.

[@christip20]

I know it’s going to work because I already have that much faith in your Dad! There’s not a doubt in my mind.....He’s wonderful, you’re so lucky & so is he.

[@EnglishVeteran]

10 Stars to your Mum & Dad! They are brilliant!

[@guybriggs1692]

Stone makes a comfy cushion, old dog learns new tricks, the engine actually starts; it’s all going frighteningly well!

[@bruster46]

Big Thank you to Dad. Nice to see it running.

[@Tenright77]

A "Mechanical " Oil Pressure Gauge, located close to the engine can give confidence after oil changes and in the event electrical displays may prove unreliable. A simple T-fitting can allow for such an installation. Congrats on the repair.

[@WildlingSailing]

Yup, Dad's going to bring one next time he comes

I was just going to say this :-)

@@WildlingSailing they are cheap as chips, so unless he puts it in the post pick two up. one to mount and another for your tools box.

[@jackpatteeuw9244]

I have never had good luck with ANY electric oil pressure senders/gauges ! I recommend a mechanical gauge. Use copper pipe between the gauge and the engine.

[@dickdegraaff5452]

Dear Nadiyana and Mark, We were happy to see the engine back in Minky Dick was listen very careful to the sound of the engine with his headset on and he said that that he did hear the engine for the first time running as it should. With the past overhaul you now have more or less a new engine and as long as you won’t ask too much power or too fast rotations per minute from the engine in the first 100 hours the engine will reliable enough for long journeys. We wish you both lots of happiness and send you ❤️ from the Netherlands. Best regards, Willeke and Dick de Graaff

[@KandMe1]

Your Mum and Dad are absolute gems.

[@nick.caffrey]

From the last few videos I've learnt that the real hero is Mark's dad who, backed up by Mark's mum, can do everything. Then Joshi, who oversees the integrity of the whole operation. After that comes Nadiyana who keeps the whole enterprise afloat, and finally Mark, who shows how not knowing what to do can be made into a science!

[@gaylanlee6447]

Awesome! A lot of hard work paying off. Congratulations. I loved Yoshi sleeping on the tools and sticking his head in the engine compartment as your Dad worked--he is checking all is being done correctly. Yoshi wants to insure you are taking care of "his boat" properly. I will say it again, awesome parents. (They deserve a restful trip with you.)😎🤟

[@motoramavlog]

I smiled a mile wide when the engine started. Your dad's a legend!

[@SimonJones-jy8ly]

What brilliant parents! I like to think that parenthood is a one way street and you have to pay it forward. In 25 years time, you will need to pay for this by rebuilding "Mark Junior"s boat engine 👍 Now the engine starts on the button, our stress will be reduced on a Friday evening.

[@Kathikas1]

I suspect Mark Junior’s boat will have to have an electric drive …

[@davidsalisbury4290]

Congrats on the engine. I bet its rewarding for your Dad to see it running as a reward for his hard work. You might try using the cut off tops of catering mayo tubs as the trim for the circular shelf things ? Ask at a local restaurant if they have any.

[@oldmanTony1]

The engine sounds 100 times better than before congratulations on all the hard work by your dad and you

[@boediprasetya2850]

19:50 Looks like you have to reorganize the electrical system on your boat, maybe you can use a spiral plastic conduit to wrap the cables according to their class and function so that tracking/trouble shooting them will be easier and to avoid fires like the one on the next boat that caught fire. It's sad that your parents are back in their city....but life must go on.... Greetings from Indonesia

[@americaspastortravels7536]

Hello Folks,🖐Great to see you again. Wowwww, things are really coming along for you guys. Big shout-out to Mom and Dad🖐. Dad really knows his stuff😲💪.

Before you leave the dock, get some PTFE tape that is rated for diesel, petrol and oil. The standard tape will break down in the long run.

Got to be said, dad is a legend, and mum never stopped the whole time too

[@stevegould5185]

So happy to see that engine back in and working again! Yay. I'm sure it cost a lot, but money well spent. As for the oil gauge, I went through a series of electric senders that matched the gauge I bought. Oil pressure always read about 8 psi at idle. I installed a mechanical gauge and it read normally. I finally gave up on that electric oil pressure gauge and kept the mechanical one instead. You have some great parents. Make sure you always let them know how much you appreciate them.

[@spacewalker4087]

Hope you have fire extinguishers for electrical fires - multiple ones at different places in the boat. Yoshi was really interested in what was going on. He wanted to get in there and get his paws dirty, too.

[@Coxtoasten12]

Dad is a great bloke, whiz with engines! Safe Sailing! Yea, he should have his own channel. Lucky he didn't charge you labor costs..lol!

[@trevhedges]

Congratulations guys! You look tired at the end Mark, Well done Dad.. i gotta admit before you “bit the bullet” and actually stopped trying patch job it, being a mechanic of 30+ year’s i was seriously thinking “what is he doing, that’s not going to do anything” But yourself and super Dad, made it work, but even more than making a reliable engine you learned so many new skills that will serve you for life! Cheers guys! 祝贺你们 Zhùhè nǐmen

Yeah! An engine that you can count on. Makes a huge difference cruising. You all did great. Enjoyed watching.
