Lightning Storm and Engine Overhaul Part 1 | ⛵ Sailing Britaly ⛵

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. You can see volvo penta schematic diagrams for FREE here: https://www.marinepartseurope.com/en/volvo-penta-schematics-MarineDieselEngines.aspx ⛵ Sailing Britaly ⛵ brings you the sailing shenanigans of Chris (British), Rossella (Italian), and baby Emma (Britalian) as we sail our 1992 Bavaria 350. We make sailing vlogs of our cruising adventures and share any tips and tricks we can along the way. After all, sailors are one big family! Subscribe to see more of our videos!

Yah Emma is back missed you. I love a good lightning storm thanks for the video. The banjo fitting on your engine like many bolts on an engine dose it need locktite to keep it from rattling loose?

Volvo Penta 2003? Have you already open the drain valve? (alltenator side) to the back and down). the 2001, 2002 and 2003 is known to clock at the buttom pipes of the cooling system.

Suggestion: Consider converting your raw water cooled diesel engine to a closed loop cooled engine. I don't know your exact model engine, but it should be possible and you will greatly reduce the corrosion inside your engine, extend its useful life and probably get greater efficiency out of the engine. The parts you'd probably need
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

I enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work. On another note we, were lucky as parents because by accident in our small first house we put the baby's daytime cradle near the TV. We found that the baby(s) didn't have a problem falling asleep with the TV on. After their evening feeding when we put the to bed for the night we found that we didin't have to be extra quiet because the "baby was sleeping" because they were used to the noise from the TV when they were sleeping during the day. As they grew older we found they could fall asleep anywhere and anytime they needed to. That's just our experience, take for what it's worth.
