We DESTROYED our Engine Room - Your Questions Answered!

In this episode of Your Questions Answered, we're following up on our recent video We DESTROYED our Engine Room - Now What?, where we steam cleaned the bilges of our 78' aluminum yacht, Tangaroa. You had questions-and we're here to answer them. From why we're not coating the aluminum bilges, to what kind of wiring we're using if we don't like copper on the boat, to why we skipped the degreasers-Blaine walks you through the thought process and shares what we've learned from years of working on aluminum boats. This series is all about showing the real work behind our DIY repower-from pulling the Detroit Diesel 12V71s to prepping the engine room for a pair of Cummins 6.7s. If you're into engine swaps, aluminum boat maintenance, or just like watching people clean out nasty bilges and solve weird boat problems, you're in the right place. We appreciate your questions-keep them coming! #BoatRefit #MarineDieselEngines #BilgeCleaning ?
