Your cheery attitude never fails to lift my spirit. Now you’ve reached a milestone with the engine and drive, and crossing my fingers that the inspection goes well. Enjoy your holiday !
4JH is a great engine. Just sold the 4JH-2TE in my 1997 Hylas and she ran beautifully. Obviously now is the time to put new engine mounts on and spray all the rust spots. If you can, put a drain plug in that sump with a hose before you install her so that you can run the hose to an external electric pump. That's the set-up I had and it really made oil changes super easy! Good luck.
Re the engine mounts, have you thought about getting them sandblasted to clean and strip them back? Once again, it would be cost of sandblasting by someone else v trying to clean them yourself. Keep cracking on.
Hiya, Funny you should mention the engine mounts. We were reading today, Yanmar recommend that the mounts should be replaced after 4 years. These are no doubt the original. So it looks like new engine mounts are going on. Cheers for watching 😃

@@SailingSeabird I have two contacts in the U.K. First one for engine spares and gearbox spares, all second hand stuff, the guy ships to all Europe.

@@SailingSeabird hello, we go back home tomorrow afternoon. If you Want to see us this evening or tomorrow morning... I could give you some yanmar parts.
Hello Eric!! Unfortunately today and tomorrow are not very good for us. Apart from the work on the boat we need to edit and upload the next episode so we are quite busy. Hopefully next time we can catch up 😊
I appreciate your efforts to provide some physical / financial costs. You do not overwhelm us with too much detail. I hope your efforts to obtain a gearbox/motor are successful! Thx for.bringing us along- great video! 😊😊😊 John Ken
Patience and persistence are excellent virtues in a project like this. You've got them in spades! Congratulations on getting the engine. It's going to be super interesting to see how you put these disparate parts together. There'll be bumps in the road but we are with you all the way. Great job.
Thank you! There will be tears but that's the fun of it. Before we know it, it will all be a memory. Just a bit of work between now and then. Cheers for watching 😃
Marseille to Sète, that's a long drive ! I hope you took some times to walk and have a look at the Calanques in Marseille, or the étang de Thau in Sète in between the drives those are cool places, anyway, I think that engine looks in good condition, but certainly better than the forklift, I think they missed a few maintenances, it does not looks very safe Good luck with that engine, and the whole ship in general, still a lots of work to do, but a whole summer ahead, which surely won't help, the temperatures can get very high in the south, like sometimes over 40°C, it's probably hard to do anything at such a high temperature. Working on such a boat is a very big and complexe project, but with some times and love as everything, I'm sure it's gonna end up looking awesome ! Keep it up !
We didn't stop in the calanques but we stopped in aigues mortes. Drove through the Camargue on the way home. We got home with two engines. Tbh it took a few days to realise I don't need to look for an engine anymore. So happy. Thanks for watching 😃
There’s a lot of anxiety when it comes to buying used engines, I bought a rebuilt engine for my 67 Camaro, I was a nervous wreck until the day I fired that engine. It’s a lot of money on the line, and so many things can go wrong, I hope you are both blessed by the engine gods.😂
We get the whole stress thing. I've personally just given up on worrying about it. All it will be is more time. Plus a huge pain in the neck. Cheers for watching 😃
Tanks for the road trip! Great to see you making progress and knowing all the research to find what you needed for your engine and tranny. Yes, long days ARE tiring-however having acheived your goal-you will sleep VERY WE:LL!! Cheers!! Rich
As you do the inspection I would clean up all parts of the motor and repaint that way it be clean rust free and you can check all gaskets and fittings good luck
Looks like we are on the same page. It's getting there. A toothbrush and degreaser. Next new gaskets and a big of paint. Get that motor all shiny. Cheers for watching 😃
Fingers crossed for sure. Hopefully it's all good. We'll see... Cheers for always watching and commenting. We look forward to seeing the comments from the regulars 😊
If you can't sell the 'Spare' engine as is, be sure to strip all the possible spares from it before scrapping. I'm sure you will appreciate having a working spare starter, injectors and such, but I'm also sure you've already thought of that!
We got the gearbox which was the main reason. Now we have a loads of spares, that need cleaning and organising. Then just the block to sell. I think we made the right choice. Cheers for watching 😃

Congratulations 🎉 from West Palm Beach, Florida! So happy for you guys, after all, the engine is a major part of this process. I have to say you two make me smile. Such a well matched couple. So lovely inside out AND so chill! Such a pleasure to watch. Btw, I love your videos just the way they are! ☮️❣️
GBU bought a brand new British made Beta Marine engine and gearbox unit for that kind of money. Well congrats anyway looks like a fine engine. For that kind of money we're you not tempted to buy a whole fleet or a completer boat?
All starting to come together. I was a bit worried that the pallet was going to split in half with all the weight, as it was been carried 90deg to hopw it should be. Allways have the top slats across the forks not in parallel. Saw one split once when it was full of crates with bottles in, made a right mess. Looking forward to seeing the work on the engine and its install.
Did you see the engine hand cranked to make sure it's not froze up. If this Yanmar doesn't have a compression release, then removing the glow plugs should allow hand cranking the engine.
The engine turned over lovely. Good compression. Next is to strip it done, have a look inside and renew the gaskets. Give it a bit of paint etc Step by step... Cheers for watching 😃
I didn't buy a boat engine for a boat. A168F 3 HP air cooled Chinese diesel, brand new. It's 44 LBS and should devote half of it's power to making 12 volts. There are bigger undersized air cooled diesels for giant boats, too. The hot air is welcome.
@@SailingSeabird I think my friends are a bit worried about going home from the Airport. ..but they have seen it all before. 🤞🏼 The mosquitos make a pretty goo d 🦟 defence with the waterways and marshes. 😉
Mine too, I altered my beds so the engine sat level. Yanmar is a major marine engine maker & added this feature for a good reason. Ur old beds probably need refurbishing.
Hi David! You comment got us a little worried. We called Yanmar and they referred us to some engineers in England who said 8 degrees is ok and those engineers recommended some other engineers who said the same thing. 8 degrees installation, maximum 15 degrees under power. Our engine bed is 6 degrees so all is good. Thanks for your concerns. It’s always best to double check things. We are happy we made the right decision. Cheers!
They are reasonably good motors but like the volvos the parts are very expensive. A Beta Marine would have been a better choice, but it's very hard to find a used one. Being cheap to operate, people run them till they are complete junk or need a complete rebuild at a machine shop
Delighted that you found an engine. you definitely need sometime away from the boat A bit of time to yourselves, enjoy your holiday. As always I look forward to the next update.
Congratulations on your new engine! (It’s bigger than our Yanmar 3GM 30F, which we just had lifted into the boat.) Nice! Progress Progress Progress! 😎😂😂😂🥰
Hiya, Hope you're well. Those 3gm are good engines. Tbh we would have gone smaller but it would have meant changing the engine bed etc... Cheers for watching 😃
