Better off sticking with the outboard on that O'Day 23. It would be a major refit to cram that inboard on a boat that was never meant for it. Not to mention that you would need at least 3 new thru-hulls for cooling, exhaust and the prop shaft. I don't know too many sailors in favor of more holes in their boat.

[@billmoran3812]

I did a lot of engineering work for the telephone company. They used nothing but K-1 herosene to run their emergency generators. The reason was it was less subject to algae growth in the fuel during long term storage. The only downside to using K-1 kerosene in a Diesel engine is it has less lubricity so fuel system components and injectors tend to wear faster. Because those emergency generators only ran a few hundred hours per year at most, this wasn’t really a problem. Also, don’t ever attempt to stop a Diesel engine by putting your hand or a rag over the air intake. A large engine will suck your hand right into the intake! If a diesel won’t stop by shutting off the fuel, use a flat board to cover the air intake.

You and your friend both scored BIG TIME with those picks. I was afraid that the engine was going to walk off the lift when it started. Oops

[@steveransley7227]

That small button you lifted up is the excess fuel/ cold start button, you put the throttle forward and lift up the button, it will stay up until the engine starts. Before running a marine deisel without water remove the impeller from the raw water pump, it needs water to lubricate it and keep it cool. Oil should be put down the little filler on the top of the engine to raise the compression on cold days.

@@Adamsadventures83 Good point.

[@DaCoder]

I wonder if that's what mustie felt when he said the throttle popped lower into idle

[@RAYAR54]

@@DaCoder Pushing that lever further below idle will shut off the fuel to the injector to stop the engine. (Edit: I just remembered that there is a separate knob you pulled on to stop it.)(*** just trying to remember how things worked with the shut down, in the area where the throttle cable hooks up, there is another lever that another pull cable hooks to and when you pull on it, it lets the throttle lever drop down further below idle cutting off the fuel to the injector. Then to restart, you have to apply throttle to allow the interlink to reset so the throttle linkage allows fuel to flow to the injector and holds idle at lowest setting.)

[@muskokamike127]

If you got yourself a little wooden row boat a la African Queen it would be a good little engine. I worked on a cottage and they had a vintage double ender (pointy on both ends) with a striped canopy that was similar to the african queen. It had a little diesel and a big wooden rudder with a tiller. It'd putt putt putt around the lake at a whopping 4 mph but it was a small lake and they'd go out every night for a "cruise". All the other cottagers would smile and wave....

[@Crushwokery]

A warm hello from 🇬🇧 😉 A quick tip regarding cold start of all diesels that you don't want to use ether on. Ether or easy start addicts them and once you use it they don't like stating without it. All you need is a few sheets of newspaper tightly twisted up to resemble a wick, light it and hold it close to the air intake so the flames get drawn into the cylinder head. Helps to ignite the atomised diesel by adding heat and flame. Crude I know but this practice has been used for decades by the old timey mechs of yesteryear. I'm 62 years old and I was a heavy truck mechanic for 30 years. This trick was passed on to me by the old guy who was teaching me as an apprentice back in the late 70's. Sketchy I know but works every time. I enjoy your vids, we're on the same page as I never shy'd away from anything mechanical, electrical or fabrication related play time. The most endearing thing about your vids is the way you talk to us as if we're standing next to you. Stay well and thank you for your time.

[@todddunn945]

That is a Catalina 22. They never have an inboard. To install an inboard you would have to put in a shaft tube, shaft, strut and cutlass bearing as well as set up the exhaust system, install a below deck fuel tank and put in a thru hull for letting cooling water into the boat. You would also need to install engine beds glassed to the hull. Just as an estimate you would be looking at the better part of $2K to do the install. It is NOT worth it. The dimple in the hull is from the bunk board rotting out. Ideally that dimple should be ground out and the hull reglassed. Your friend is wrong, when on a trailer the weight of a Catalina 22 is on the bunk boards NOT the keel. That is a swing keel with a pivot bolt at the front end. when on the trailer the keel is lowered into a spot on the trailer at the aft end of the keel, but NONE of the hull weight should rest on the keel. At the very least, the boat needs to be lifted and new bunk boards put in. Pressure treated 2x6s should do the job. The boat was free because of the damage to the hull.

Yesterday I was watching the seized marine diesel series wishing you had more diesels videos. Guess you were reading my mind.

[@dancingrick9627]

That’s a Catalina 22. I own one also. You can open those lazarettes at the rear of the cockpit and see inside the hull. The port side holds the gas tank and the other odds and ends. There is about 2 feet of clearance under the lazarettes and one foot under the center of the cabin. It would be very difficult to install that diesel. That Catalina is built for an outboard propulsion. That bulge in the hull is worrisome… probably means moisture invaded the wooden core in between the inner and outer fiberglass. I love your can do spirit, you could probably make that diesel some how work with that Catalina.

They say "There's nothing more expensive then a free boat" and there's a lot of truth to that, unless you're very familiar with boats and don't mind doing the work yourself. If you *are* such a person, you can get some decent deals though (The Magic Carpet of minor KZbin fame fell off of a lift and lost the whole transom, but fixing it took her owners several years). It does require a good eye for what's worth the elbow grease, though.

[@danw1955]

I'm kind of surprised that engine didn't have a stuck valve from sitting! It started relatively easy once you got fuel to it! I don't think that would be a good fit for that sailboat, since it's already set up for a small outboard. Until you reinforce the hull for the weight of the diesel, make pass-throughs for water in and out, and your shaft fitments, you're going to have a LOT of time and money involved. Something along the lines of a reliable stationary generator (say 5500 to 6k) would keep it busy, plus it could be set up with remote start with the electric starter.😉

Sorry, that's wrong. All NATO Diesel engines run on JP8 during missions like ISAF. Only modern CR injections have problems with the hp pump. Older Diesel engines like this one burn anything that has a simular viscosity like Diesel, they run on heating oil as well as on cerosene or even garlic oil.

@@mfc4591 i know about the difference between diesel and cerosene. P-pump systems are lubricated by engine oil, no further lubrication needed. VE pumps are also capable of burning cerosene without any damage. Direct injection engines were fed with cerosene for almost two decades at the ISAF mission in Afghanistan. Do you need any further proof? If you are scared to run an old diesel on cerosene, mix it 1:100 with 2-stroke oil.

[@stefankaufmann8257]

@@ruben_balea sorry, that's wrong and i'm pretty shocked about the amount of dangerous not-knowing. NATO does not use multi fuel engines anymore except for some tanks and old trucks. All Jeeps like HMMVW and Mercedes G use STD diesel engines. If you mix engine oil with diesel, you will ruine your dpf almost immediately, because engine oil does not burn completely, ash will block the dpf. Intake valves (via EGR) and exhaust will build up layers of carbon. If additional lubrication is needed, the additiv will be 2-stroke oil in 1:50 or 1:100. But once again: NATO does not use any additives to run diesel engines on JP8. The engines don't last forever, but the real problem for modern diesel engines is not JP8, but sulfur from bad fuel, as it destroys the cylinder walls of aluminum blocks.

[@stefankaufmann8257]

@@ruben_balea all modern european military diesel engines have to comply to euro regulations and you won't get anything else but CR with EGR, DPF and addblue. Your idea of mixing engine oil to the diesel is dangerous, as it will damage or even destroy almost any CR engine or at least exhaust, DPF, turbo, EGR and intake. And even if it was an older indirect injection engine, it would be stupid to mix engine oil to the fuel, that's what 2-stroke oil is for and always has been.

Today's fossil diesel fuel is so dry for emissions purposes that it does not lubricate well. Biodiesel would be a better choice for lubricity; even kerosene. Or add a small amount of vegetable oil to the fuel.

[@vanstechcorral]

A 2 pole generator needs 3600rpm to produce 120VAC @ 60 hertz frequency.(Gas engines need revs to produce power.)

Just fit the engine with a radiator system/electric cooling fan (driven by the output of the 12VDC alternator) and away you go..
