After countless hours of work, the new engine is running nicely! At the starting point my knowledge on diesel engines was rather limited and I can’t claim to be an expert now either, but hey, the engine and the saildrive changed by my own hands! Must admit that it did fell awesome when the engine started from first push of the button yesterday! Yesssss!!!! 🙌💪😊

Kieltämättä pääsi sellainen spontaani tuuletus kun uusi, omin pikku kätösin vaihdettu kone hörähti eilen käyntiin ekalla (!) napin painalluksella!! Yessssss!!! 🫣🙌💪🥳😎

One of those do what I say, not what I do things… Yesterday evening at the boat, last thing before heading home. I might as well toss the new saildrive up the ladder while it’s in the trunk anyways? Around 35kg and the big box was rather heavy compared to the body weight, on the ladder! Getting up backwards and after three steps you realize that this was even more dumbass idea than I thought! Going down was not an option as I would have dropped the saildrive and landed on my face… so, all or nothing! Hope the ladder don’t fall! Luckily after some very long lasting seconds I was high enough to grab the rail. And finally managed to lift the corner of the box up on the side. Easy peasy after that. But, boy was it a close one! Took a while for the pulse to calm down… so, don’t try that at home, leave it to the idiots.

Jos tulee joskus ajatus että samallahan mä koppaan ton vetolaitelaatikon kainaloon kipasen tikkaat ylös, niin suosittelen miettimään vielä toisen kerran. Loppu hyvin, kaikki hyvin onneksi. 😅

A little less usual photo angle. 😊 At last I got the old engine and the saildrive off… Again, falling under the umbrella ”Did it myself and learned a lot”. Well, atleast on how not to do things… 😂

Ei ihan joka päivä tule otettua omin pikku kätösin konetta ja vetolaitetta irti. Ainakin sai kivan kuvan jos ei muuta! 😄

Winter. Air thick with snow. Quite nice, even if sailing possibilities are rather limited.

Kivaa kun on oikea talvi. Aamulla varmasti puut kauniissa lumipeitteessä. 😊

Can you guess what’s going on here?

- Yep. The usual. Just chillin at the boat and the hatch freezes open… must admit that a few curse words did come out before it melted… 😅

Aika usein on luukku tai lukko jäässä sisään mennessä, mutta tällä kertaa luukku jäätyi auki… kohtahan se pitää laittaa pressu ennen kuin talvi tulee! 😊

Bit by bit the project is going forward. After a few oil changes it was time to make some room to disassemble the engine. Things progress slowly as there’s also the basic fall stuff: sails off, mast and ropes off, gear to the storage locker etc… but finally quite a few parts are off and we’re getting closer to the moment when we see what all is gone…

Vene alkaa olla perushyrskynmyrskyn. Homma edistyy pikku hiljaa muiden syyshommien lomassa… kohta aletaan näkemään mikä kaikki on entistä…

That time of the year. Beutiful evening the other day, white sails looking good against the azzurri blue sky. 😊

Syksy tulee. Tällä kertaa purjeet pois ajoissa. Hieno syysilta kuivatella purjeita tiistaina tumman sininen taivas taustana. Vähän mukavamman syksyinen fiilis kuin tämän illan myräkkässä! 😊

At the source! 😃 The starting point of most cases, massive amount of googling and tube videos… 😅

Internet kertoo mitä pitää tehdä. Toivottavasti löytyy vastaukset oikeisiin kysymyksiin! 😅

The F word. Multiple times. Water has found it’s way to places it shouldn’t… Looks like a beautiful beginning of yet another learning curve? And an expensive one aswell! 🤬😩😒🧐

Hitsin vitsi. Vettä öljyn seassa. Sitten saakin alkaa opetella koneen purkua ja kasausta. Vaikka uusiahan se pitäisi koko höskä, mutta ei oo nyt juuri varaa siihen… Oppia ikä kaikki! 🤗🤔
