Join us as we continue our refit whilst living aboard with our baby... We see a spectacular thunderstorm and start the DIY overhaul of our inboard engine. We have never seen such an active electrical storm in the UK before and we got some of it on film for you. The engine is about to get a full overhaul and we make a start on that in this video. We hope you find us showing this kind of work interesting, useful or informative and if you do then let us know in the comments section so we know what you would like more (or less!) of in future.

1) a variable speed 12v magnetic drive water pump for raw water pump. See youtude Catamaran IMPI in Oct 2017 summary of why he converted generator to this set up. Conversion was about 2 years ago. For you because your engine varies in speed via throttle, you'd need a variable speed pump. Cost- about $140 US on Ebay. They last 10,00+ hours, don't leak and rarely lose an impeller fin
2) a generic water to water heat exchanger sized for your engine, One for your size engine would be around $100US on ebay. The bronze side is for raw water, the aluminum side for closed loop using water and glycol coolant mix. See youtube Walde Sailing of about 2 months ago when facing a $1400US cost for a new Volvo Penta transmission cooler went with a generic for about $300 US including new professionally made hoses
3) Probably a new thermostat of 5-10 degree F higher opening temp. A coolant cooled diesel engine can run at a hotter/more efficient temp since you don't have to worry about seawater boiling/steam, calcification.
4) a Y fixture inserted after the exhaust manifold to spray raw water in to exhaust stream to cool exhaust and dump heated sea water overboard
Just something to consider while you are overhauling engine primarily due to overheating
