ENGINE MOUNT INSTALLATION & MAKING A TOUGH DECISION - Ep 213

In this episode, we kick off the first big projects to make our custom aluminum sailboat fully off-grid ready! We start by cutting into wood to install a 12V drawer fridge, an essential upgrade for living off the grid. Next, we tackle a big decision: keep the heavy hard dinghy or switch back to Patches, our (kind of) inflatable? After a test ride, we weigh the options. Finally, we dive into a DIY project to replace Yanmar engine mounts with a budget-friendly alternative, Ellebogen, on our Yanmar 4JH2E. Join us as we take on these projects to turn our boat into the ultimate off-grid sailing and living beast!
