In this episode of Sailing A B Sea we show you a sailboat engine rebuild in Turkey and we do more exploring by car.
Our friend's 30 year old sailboat engine needed a rebuild and we were there to film how they get it out of and back into the boat.

What do you think of the new intro music? Should we stick with it or keep the original music?

I would say definitely the original personally

Good episode ! We pulled a Yanmar 3YM30 whilst we were in Dubai for new piston rings. We then had another boat with a Volvo MD2040. Had issues with the Volvo and had to get a new heat exchanger core built in Sharjah. The Yanmar seemed a much better built engine IMHO 👍

My heart skipped a beat when I saw the title. Hope all is well. We’re planning to winter in Turkey this year so, with a bit of luck, we can catch up for a beer. Amazing to think it will have been the best part of 4 years since we saw you in San Pedro!

Looking forward to catching up with you two again. Our companionway hatch slippy strip needs replacing. Hahahaha. Seriously though, give us a shout when you get to Turkey. 👍

It's really nice to see Turkey from your point of view. I love that you did measurement conversion for the "Muricans" Inclusivity! Also the demonic eyeless look is awesome!

@SailingABSea 3 жыл бұрын

'Muricans' are a large part of our audience and we like to make life easy for people. We intentionally do the conversions because it annoys us so much when other channels don't convert to metric. 😀

We'll be wintering in Finike, so not too far to Alanya. We do plan on exploring further south east either before the end of this season or early next year. We hope to see you, your wife and the Princess down there.

Oh that's a lot of work. My mate had al the moving bits replaced, plus rings and all hoses and seals etc. Not in the same league as your rebuild.

Can you give more detail as to what they did to the Engine other than paint it ?????? . New piston rings was the engine sleeved did they even take the head off ??? New crank bearing caps and so on ??, you know me just love the details . Ps: Thailand looking to let travelers that have been inoculated for Covid 19 soon will tell you more when the info is released.

@SailingABSea 3 жыл бұрын

Basically it was a complete refurb of the engine. Everything stripped and parts replaced. I don't know all the fine details as I was dealing with a lot of A B Sea stuff during that time.

According to the map you showed - Yalova - is one of your "home ports." Which means - Termal - is in your future. Termal is one of the most wonderful places in the world. In 1967 we lived in Yalova - and the American base was Karamursel ten miles away. You guys are going to have so much fun. This will be one of the highlights of my year. By the way - have you two gotten any shots? Do you plan on it? I've got my two - and am ready to start golfing again this summer.

No we haven't because each year would be different. When things break they must be fixed immediately. When they don't break the money stays in our account. The variables are many. No one week is the same as the next.
