Sailing Vessel Triteia - The Iron Genny - Part II - Episode 7 - Stopping a Leaking Propshaft

On this episode of Sailing Vessel Triteia I work to align the engine with the prop shaft before discovering my packing nut was leaking in a very bad way. After fighting to fix the packing nut I move back to getting the prop shaft bolted to the engine. This is part 2 of 4 (I think) episodes of me hooking up the engine. The next episode will show me diving on the prop to check its location, drilling the new holes for the motor mounts and continuing hooking up systems until late in the night. I hope you enjoy this episode and if you do please give it a “thumbs up”!
