SailAway | Sparky the Sleepy Sailboat Starter | Sailboat Living Sailing Vlog

How to make your diesel shoot sparks...and start. This week's bonus episode of sailboat living with SailAway is a "Maintenance Short" (see all maintenance stuff in the "Messing About On Boats" playlist) We let you in on our ongoing starter/batteries conundrum and Eric's rather unusual way of starting the sailboat diesel that's kept us cruising so far. When it works it works...especially if you're a hundred miles from nowhere (most recently in the middle of the Gulf Stream)! Eric narrows down the problem and takes you through it. A sailboat working is big part of sailboat living! Be sure to SUBSCRIBE for WEEKLY CONTENT! Cheers!!
