Sailing Vessel Triteia - The Iron Genny - Part III - Episode 8 - Hooking Up New Diesel Engine

On this episode of Sailing Vessel Triteia I dive below to check the propellers position before setting the engine in its final spot and drilling the new holes in the engine bracket. I then continue on hooking up the control cables, exhaust system and fuel lines and finally hooking up the water intake to the broken seacock. I watched the sea flow into my boat as I switched from the old to the new hoses, which is a very unsettling feeling even for just a moment.

This is part 3 of 4 episodes of the engine installation. The next episode will show me installing the control panel and batteries, finishing up the last few things before attempting to start the engine for the first time.

I hope you enjoy this episode and if you do please give it a “thumbs up”!
