Sailboat engine rebuild - Sailing A B Sea (Ep.162)

[@SailingABSea]

What do you think of the new intro music? Should we stick with it or keep the original music?

[@Just_passing_through23]

I would say definitely the original personally

[@Knueppel_Heinz]

I am beeing honest here: both not very pleasing :)

[@user-pf5xq3lq8i]

New one is more relaxing, I like it.

[@SailingABSea]

Thanks Riccardo.

[@SailingABSea]

Understood Cal.

[@SVImpavidus]

A nice mix of boat life. Sail Safe Guys, Ant, Cid & the pooch crew.

[@SailingABSea]

Cheers guys. Replying to you from anchor somewhere along the Turkish coast. 👍

[@Al.W7263]

You must be generating business for your mechanic buddy, or at least I hope so. His prices like his work appears really good. Thanks for the video.

[@SailingABSea]

We're always happy to give praise where it's due and Aydin, although sometimes jobs take a while, does a great job at a fair price. 👍

[@leeturnbull2759]

Good episode ! We pulled a Yanmar 3YM30 whilst we were in Dubai for new piston rings. We then had another boat with a Volvo MD2040. Had issues with the Volvo and had to get a new heat exchanger core built in Sharjah. The Yanmar seemed a much better built engine IMHO 👍

[@SailingABSea]

We're so happy that we have a Yanmar. The Perkins are very reliable too. 👍

[@davefoster7770]

It's really nice to see Turkey from your point of view. I love that you did measurement conversion for the "Muricans" Inclusivity! Also the demonic eyeless look is awesome!

[@SailingABSea]

'Muricans' are a large part of our audience and we like to make life easy for people. We intentionally do the conversions because it annoys us so much when other channels don't convert to metric. 😀

[@normanboyes4983]

Saw the title and thought WTF😳 -Relieved to see it was not yours.👍

[@SailingABSea]

We're happy to report that our engine is purring like a kitten Norman. 👍

[@normanboyes4983]

@@SailingABSea I am so pleased to hear that.😀👍

[@theaquarelians1398]

My heart skipped a beat when I saw the title. Hope all is well. We’re planning to winter in Turkey this year so, with a bit of luck, we can catch up for a beer. Amazing to think it will have been the best part of 4 years since we saw you in San Pedro!

[@SailingABSea]

Looking forward to catching up with you two again. Our companionway hatch slippy strip needs replacing. Hahahaha. Seriously though, give us a shout when you get to Turkey. 👍

[@dreamlife9589]

Nice job! Only; i would protect the floor and the sides of the entrance when it came out) Hopefully nothing got damaged) 👍💪

[@SailingABSea]

They did have thick cardboard in front of the engine bay, but no protection at the companionway.

[@dreamlife9589]

@@SailingABSea ok) did not see the cardboard) looked a bit scary)) i see you enjoyed Kas verry much, i have been there a few times and loved it) me and the mrs own an appartment in Alanya, you should visit it too, although its a little more east) plan to move my Princess 45 motoryacht there also next spring) 👍 have a good one, and i will buy you a beer) (and a wine for Ansha offcourse😉) enjoy!

[@dreamlife9589]

And stick with the old intro, i am so used to it) even the wife knows) (are you looking at the Ausies in Kas again? 😂)

[@SailingABSea]

We'll be wintering in Finike, so not too far to Alanya. We do plan on exploring further south east either before the end of this season or early next year. We hope to see you, your wife and the Princess down there.

[@SailingABSea]

The old intro it is. Cheers.

[@glennedwards1449]

I think it is nice the engine is stuck in the boat all the time it gets a trip out some sun and new vistas.

[@SailingABSea]

😂 We like that viewpoint. Cheers Glenn.

[@Conan-ny1um]

You had me with that title. I was like what how did he blow the engine, during winter.

[@philthefarrier9469]

Or he may have blown a seal. Just fix the engine and don’t judge my personal life. Lol. Anyone know which song that came from?

[@SailingABSea]

Hahaha Conan, if we try hard enough we can do anything. 😂

[@SailingABSea]

Phil no seals were harmed during the making of this video. 👍

[@2Moza]

Can you give more detail as to what they did to the Engine other than paint it ?????? . New piston rings was the engine sleeved did they even take the head off ??? New crank bearing caps and so on ??, you know me just love the details . Ps: Thailand looking to let travelers that have been inoculated for Covid 19 soon will tell you more when the info is released.

[@SailingABSea]

Basically it was a complete refurb of the engine. Everything stripped and parts replaced. I don't know all the fine details as I was dealing with a lot of A B Sea stuff during that time.

[@garywatson4142]

Just had my 1984 Perkins rebuilt,$28k NZ

[@pauldouglas6761]

28 thousand ?.

[@garywatson4142]

@@pauldouglas6761 yep$28000

[@SailingABSea]

Holy crap that's bloody expensive! Might have been cheaper to sail from NZ to Turkey to get it done. 🤔

[@garywatson4142]

@@SailingABSea haha,your right,the company that did the job had me by the short and curlies,I couldn’t go anywhere and they knew it.What was the extent of your friends rebuild ?.The only original components left on my engine was the block and sump

[@SailingABSea]

Oh that's a lot of work. My mate had al the moving bits replaced, plus rings and all hoses and seals etc. Not in the same league as your rebuild.

[@murraywestenskow2896]

According to the map you showed - Yalova - is one of your "home ports." Which means - Termal - is in your future. Termal is one of the most wonderful places in the world. In 1967 we lived in Yalova - and the American base was Karamursel ten miles away. You guys are going to have so much fun. This will be one of the highlights of my year. By the way - have you two gotten any shots? Do you plan on it? I've got my two - and am ready to start golfing again this summer.

[@SailingABSea]

There's a plot twist coming Murray... And we can't say more than that right now mate. 🤔

Hi Barry, Can you give me the details of the Marina your in, looking for a new home for my boat later this year. Thanks J

[@SailingABSea]

Hi Joe, we're in Kas Marina which is part of the Setur marina group in Turkey. If you take a 12 month contract mention that we introduced you and we both get a bonus free month. Cheers.

[@joesv-blueeyes7785]

@@SailingABSea Thank you Keep the good work up, great videos 😊

[@nonyayet1379]

I'm curious, how heavy is that complete long block engine with accessories?

[@SailingABSea]

(Baz) I'm not sure, any guess I could make would probably be way off the mark.

[@philthefarrier9469]

I always work on the theory of speed , cost or quality. You only ever get two of the three.

[@SailingABSea]

Yep... Two out of three here. 👍

[@shelleyelder7847]

[@SailingABSea]

👍😀

[@DirkJacobsz]

Have you guys done a annual costing for your travels?

[@SailingABSea]

No we haven't because each year would be different. When things break they must be fixed immediately. When they don't break the money stays in our account. The variables are many. No one week is the same as the next.

[@DirkJacobsz]

@@SailingABSea Thanks Aannsha or Baz. Love your channel. I reckon the Indian Ocean- is a go for you guys. 2 w max passages. And you can go East or West. Calm Cs and following winds...
