Step inside the heart of this incredible vessel! We're standing next to a genuine piece of maritime history: a Gardner 6L3 engine that rolled off the line long before WWII ended. Forget modern complexity; this powerhouse has logged between 120,000 and 150,000 hours, even after a couple of rebuilds! It proudly replaced the original three-cylinder Fairbanks Morse, but the real magic is the startup: watch how we use 230 PSI of high-pressure air to coax this mechanical giant into life, manually cycling it before it catches its rhythm. This isn't just an engine; it's a legend that defines incredible longevity and access to every system you can imagine! #TrawlerLife #ClassicYacht #BoatRestoration #ChrisCraft #YachtLens #WoodenBoat #Liveaboard #YachtTour #GardnerDiesel #MarineEngine #GardnerEngine #VintageMachinery #BoatLife #AirStart #MechanicalMarvel #OldSchoolPower #MaritimeHistory

For the cheapest AIS transponder solution for our sailboat, we found this article and gave it a try. So far, it works a charm. Just make sure it is an acceptable form of vessel identification in your area or region. If you prefer to order straight from the manufacturer, follow this link: https://socotran.com/products/fishing-net-tracker-locator-gps-marine-ais-netsonde-net-sonde-for-boating-rs-109m Important: When entering vessel information, ensure the unit is off till you are ready to write the information. Then you have around 20 seconds before the transfer of data is no longer possible, and you will have to start again. The transfer of data is not possible without the programming cable so make sure you order this with the unit.
