E04 SAILBOAT engine insulation, NEW coolant pump Perkins M50 (Volvo MD22L)

Join us weekly for more boat restoration fun! In this video we get stuck in to some engine room maintenance. First stop is noise proofing the engine room. We rip out the old insulation and replace it with some foil backed, rubber membraned foam that insulates us from the noise and vibrations of the engine, but also reflects light everywhere making it impossible to not see an engine leak! Next step is to address a diesel leak and a coolant leak. The coolant leak turns out to be a much bigger job than I had realised. We opted for a full replacement of the coolant water pump, which was definitely not the cheapest way to address the leak, but it helped me learn a lot about the engine and it shouldn't leak there for another decade or two (hopefully)! Hope you enjoy watching a total novice try and get to grips with engine maintenance. Don't forget to please reach out if you want a pdf copy of the engine workshop manual for the Perkins Prima M50. Note that the Perkins Prima M50 is also the exact same re-labelled engine as the Volvo Penta MD22L.
