How to Fix an ENGINE STARTER (with Friends) [Capable Cruising Guides]

How many sailors does it take to fix an engine starter? Today, we find out when Clark (a retired computer programmer) visits Steve (a master diver) along with Conrad (a former blacksmith). Combining their brains, brawn, and their collection of tools, they try to get Steve's engine going again, and share some stories and advice along the way.
We live aboard our antique sailboat, Temptress, where we (Emily and Clark) fix almost everything ourselves. Check out our other "Capable Cruising Guide" videos and subscribe for more content like this.
