Hi there, I have watched all episodes from the beginning and this is the first time I felt the need to make a comment. I really appreciate the quality and details you put into this project. The use of an Aquadrive allows for a nice soft mounting of the engine and will help a lot with getting the vibrations isolated. I happen to work in this field for over 35 years now and have seen many people make small and big mistakes. The last 15 years I am designing exhaust suspensions and advising people on how to mount their exhausts in such a way that the vibrations are isolated and the thermal growth is directed in the correct way. Looking at the relatively long piece of pipe that you hard mounted onto your engine I expect that you will experience cracking of whatever is the weakest part. If this was my boat. I would start with a stainless steel bellows directly after the engine. There is plenty of space if you put it where you have the straight section of pipe. That enables your engine to move freely without transferring forces and vibrations to the construction. You can mount the elbow with anti vibration mounts to the construction to isolate even more vibration. If you are interested I can advise you on this topic even more but than we could maybe do this by e-mail. No cost or strings attached of course.
You are so correct, that tall straight pipe is not a good idea. Engine vibration will weaken the pipe at the thinnest spot (threads at the head) and crack it.
I would suggest adding a solid support back to the engine on the high rise exhaust. Engine vibrations could very well cause that attachment to work loose or even break the pipe.
Instead of an on-off switch, I used a 200 Amps overload fuse with a manual trip. That kills two birds with one stone. I would put the high-rise exhaust riser on a rigid mount to a bulkhead or bracket separate from the engine itself, and run flexible pipe to the riser. Any length of metal will fatigue in short order unless it has a flexible coupling. New high temperature silicone rubber is good for up to 500 degrees or flexible corrugated exhaust tube is available, but the flexible rubber tube can itself be additionally externally concentrically water cooled as part of the heat exchanger system. I think the Beta marine engine was a great choice.
You are doing a great engine fitout and its certainly nice to have it all new. I know Brian is a marine engineer and I also have the same back ground and if it was my boat I would be putting in a couple of support brackets for the up right on the exhaust. As you know diesels by nature woble around a lot and the could cause your pipe to crack throught metal fatigue, especially around the welds. Anyway I will leave it up to you 2 to sort . Those are my thoughts and please don't take them as a negative comment becuase you are doing a fantastic job. Cheers Ian
Gotta love that Beta engine . Nothing is more reassuring than a new diesel engine . It changed our sailing lives having a reliable , clean , engine : Sometimes the wind doesn't blow !
I’m a long term viewer of your channel. It always a joy to watch. The concern about the high rise is real as many have failed. One thing I noticed is the position of the engine on the mounts is very high this will produce more movement of the engine. Easy fix looks like a 1/2” shims under the mounts would solve that. Also Vetus makes more flexible exhaust hose,then standard exhaust hose, for the connection between high rise and the water lift. Thanks for sharing your life with us you are creating a very special boa
I would rethink the springs . Brace back to the engine instead so it and the riser move as one Vibration to be born by the flexable hose not the springs and welds and flange bolts . The springs do nothing so solve the issue and maybe make it worse putting stress on the part with every vibration . You want the riser to move as one with the engine . It is a long lever where every movement of the engine makes the exhaust hose pry it back and forth and the fear would be it breaks the bolts or gasket at the engine . So make it move as one with the engine with a couple of braces down to any convenient nut /bolt on the engine . Make them removable easy for servicing . Other than that the install looks better than most new boats -fine work .
I was thinking exactly the same and saw your comment just when I opened the comment I even agree that the springs "might" make it worse impeding free movement. Brace it to the engine as one big unit, or mount it totally separate on a bulkhead with a long flex hose.
30cm is the length of a school ruler and that pipe looks a lot longer . With the shaking of the engine it will rupture stainless steel does not like movement
This is getting so exciting! Your project is something great to embrace. I am having a no news cleanse and sailing channels are a grand refuge. Thank you’l thank you, thank you!
Well, it's an art form to make a film showing a guy working in a tight space and captivate the viewer with story, music and camera angles, not to forget both your wonderful personalities. Pretty inspiring Aladino to watch your patient, detailed handling of these challenges. I just want to jump up and go work on my boat!😊
I am amazed Aladino by both your skills and the breadth of your knowledge. Your experience with every aspect of MC2 will no doubt come in handy when you are out in the middle of nowhere and experience a problem.
Not to mention that with Aladino' s outstanding work and precise care and maintenance, he's turned that beautiful craft into a solid investment. Boats are well known to be money pits that just get old after sucking you dry. Not when these two wonderful people are in charge.
Another job done to perfection! Very well thought out with everything neat and easy to access. One thought I wanted to share is perhaps make an extra exhaust pipe while you’ve the measurements etc. in mind in case that one doesn’t endure the vibration as much as planned. You’ll need a replacement eventually anyway and if it retires early you won’t be stuck.
Rather than tying the exhaust to the roof, I would be tempted to brace it back to the engine itself - this would help reduce the exhaust waggling about which would strain the bolts holding it onto the block, if it's kept solid to the block then that won't be a problem.
Nice to see a brand new Beta engine at the heart of this boat. When the weather and conditions get gnarly, it's comforting to know that you have a serious power plant to get you out of trouble.
On shaft alignment. As the boat sets now all the weight is in the keel. When in the water the keel will be hanging under the boat changing things a bit. It is recommended to recheck shaft alignment when the boat is in its natural state ie. floating. Marine technician tip.
the paint on that engine looks 1/4" deep. very good looking unit. find your best picture of it and frame it, it'll never look that 'spiffy' again. always enjoy your videos, thanks!
If not done already, insulate that extended exhaust manifold between heat exchanger and water injection point. That piece af exhaust will get very hot. And the open door, check oil and coolant before 1st start.
How wonderfully pristine a new engine space is looking. Very well done. But that high-rise exhaust pipe may very much suffer from engine vibrations. All the best for the first test run.
Absolutly brilliant seeing a senior boat becoming brand new, shiny and certainly much better than when it was originally launched. I also love Mia’s filming, editoring and her choice of music. What a super professional couple you make.
That is quite a puzzle of components! I would recommend that Maya gets to learn about the engine, take a course on engine maintenance, develop comprehensive notes on the engine and the spares required. Being able to share the knowledge and maintenance helps balance the workload and improves you resilience. It's a safety issue too, knowing how to identify a problem and fix it, could save you both and the boat one day. One thing to note is that jubilee clips are not recommended, I cannot recollect what the best ones are, but well worth getting the most suitable ones installed.
Hi I would recommend to build a guard over that throttle that is in the cockpit. This would help prevent inadvertant throttle changes due to it getting knocked about. Plenty of boat throttle fails on YT! Love the channel and the music!
Hi Aladino, I have the same setup with a wet muffler on my yanmar 3 cylinder. My exhaust broke on me twice until I finally hard-braced it to the engine with a steal bar. That let the exhaust and engine vibrate at the same frequency and has held up for the last 7 years. Looking good you two. Keep it up and see you in some warmer climates. Cheers, Daniel, SV Conchflyer, Tayana 37
I would recommend replacing the bolts on the exhaust flange with studs and nuts. I used to have a beta13 hp engine and found these bolts very difficult to remove when the engine was a few years old. I met a beta installer who did this as a matter of course.
With the excitement of the first startup, PLEASE remember to fill the Engine with OIL! Just think about the poor sailor that skipped this step and the tears shed in quite times. Looking forward to you first startup!
Always a pleasure to watch and getting so so close. One thought with the vertical riser on the exhaust is that it may need to be fastened rigidly back to the engine (ie the source of vibration) because the springs will reduce the weight force but not the vibrating mass (if that makes sense) and the hazard is cracking near the rigid connection where it is bolted to manifold. Not going to be an immediate issue but might be worth sending some photos to BetaMarine for input. Cheers, Bill B
The exhaust needs to be bracketed back to the engine....using those springs will just cause welds to crack....never ever fixture engine components to chassis/frame without a flex joint.
Great work Aladino she's coming together nicely, though I'm not sure about the spring set upon the riser, I doubt whether it will be of any use other than to send vibration noise through the boat, better to solid mount from the engine so it remains a solid piece with the engine or use flex hose that can handle the temperature, any exhaust part you affix to any part of your superstructure will echo through the boat, All the best, Al
That hi-rise pipe needs a piece of flexible steel pipe. You could mount the elbow and muffler hard to the bulkhead, and the flexpipe can do it's thing.
Consider a 'loss of cooling water alarm' between the strainer and engine, it warns of impending over heat v. the engine alarm which is usually too late for the impeller. Also, no need to fuse the starter cable from the battery...the only place where a fuse is not mandated.
Well done both of you 👍. I would like to mention that in my experience T-bolt style hose clamps are far superior and more reliable than what I see in your installation.
I have been following you for a long time. I love your work, but I would suggest the hi rise muffler extension needs better support attached to the engine block instead of the body of the boat. The resonant frequency of the engine will likely crack the pipe over time if not attached back to the engine to keep it from stressing the manifold or flange at the engine. At least two braces to the engine and top of the muffler pipe. I have a lot of experience in diesel motors for our construction equipment and hope you can see my point. Another comment below from Mike banks by installing a flexable coupling from the engine to the muffler is very valid as well. You have done a beautiful job on the boat and know a failure in this area might flood the engine room. Best regards, GP.
Excited for you and Maya. I have followed your journey for some time now and appreiate the skill and the expetise that you have collectively put ionto making your boat not only functional but aestheticly beautiful as well. God bless as you approach splash time. Ciao JK
Great work but please pay attention to the comments about the long pipe, it will damage in the long run, just a mater of time. Brace it solidly to the engine as one unit or totally separate it with a long flex hose. Thank you for sharing.
Interesting to see you so excited around the engine installation when its usually the actual boat rebuilding that gets you fired up :-) Will listen out for sound when you push the start button :-)
This is a new boat everything looks new. And yeah you guys did a really good job on it. I don’t know how you kept going to get this far. But the finish line is just around the corner and she will be back where she belongs. Floating.
Confined space comment: Strategically placed foam padding and other handholds as necessary for access in port and, in a seaway will greatly add to the confidence and comfort to you when you need to go back there. Especially when not wearing knee pads. And, I'm sure you will show something on how the space is well lighted. Are you ventilating the compartment with a blower/fan? Nice work.
🎉❤😅, so we have been on The Camino de Santiago 😂. Now I must go and catch up a bit. We are so excited for you all ❤. These posts are the ones I save before sleep. So I can dream of sailing, or adventures. Thanks guys
Always enjoy watching your work. Small observation that it is good practice to fit fire rated seawater hose on the engine intake. This buys you a little time in case of fire in the engine space. Overall the installation looks fantastic.
For someone so passionate about wind and waves, Aladino has a strange love for that candy apple red engine. It's all so neat and clean you could eat off it. My guess is that if she can't find Aladino anywhere on the boat, she will probably find him in the engine room longing to work on formula race cars some day 😅.
After I killed one engine with back flowing water into the cylinder, I decided to double the amount on the VETUS Waterstop, so that the original amount of water in the exhaust can't overflow because it's twice the volume now. It works so far.
You're going to have the nicest engine room in Canada if not the world. I'm surprised that you can fit in behind the engine. That is a large space for a small space, if that makes sense.
20:22 Not the hose clamps I would prefer. These have punched out holes. The ones with ridges are far superior and don't deform as easily. Besides that: Awesome video once again :)
Doing the engine install in Canada with access to your ‘on staff’ marine engineer seems to have been a good decision. Best wishes for a successful first start.
Details always take the most time it seems, but very necessary, no matter whether on a boat, house, or anything else, it's the DETAILS. I'm excited along with you to see it all coming together and very close to splash time. Be safe always from the Philippines.
Aladino's approach of understanding the most root elements of each job reminds me of Moitessier's philosophy of "making himself tiny so he could crawl into each fiber of his boat." But Moitessier was too much an ascetic to effectively teach on a practical level. Aladino is practical an relatable and will, i predict, make an excellent teacher if he chooses.

"Jack of all trades master of none, though oftentimes better than master of one.” - so I think you are good on that one.
Every time I watch Aladino I am so impressed at his attention to detail and ability to solve problems. His craftsmanship is absolutely incredible!
This young man is a true CRAFTSMAN!!! He should stop calling himself "Jack of all trades, master of none" ❤
That engine compartment looks beautiful. So clean.
you're a very talented guy. there can't be a better way to get to know all the systems upkeep and repair needs than doing your own install.
Maya, that was very well edited! That told us a story, and the background music matched perfectly! Film Producer of the year goes to you. God Bless!

Great job on the engine completion and the spotless condition of the engine area. THAT'S how you find any issues quickly.
Been following for years, can't wait to see her splash!
Nice to see a brand new Beta engine at the heart of this boat. When the weather and conditions get gnarly, it's comforting to know that you have a serious power plant to get you out of trouble.
so happy for you guys, and grateful to get to follow along on this amazing story
2 things. Have your Beta guy sign off on the riser and wrap the riser in high temp insulation.
I Love Aladino's attention to detail. It is always a beautiful sight to see a pristine engine bay all neat clean and pretty.🥰
On shaft alignment. As the boat sets now all the weight is in the keel. When in the water the keel will be hanging under the boat changing things a bit. It is recommended to recheck shaft alignment when the boat is in its natural state ie. floating. Marine technician tip.
That type of drive needs to be run out of alignment so that the balls in the cv joints don't seize up !
Thankfully Aladhino knows that
Loving the Old Time music (and the rest of the music, which is always superb on this channel).
I was an electrician on submarines back in my Navy days. So I really enjoyed watching this video.
the paint on that engine looks 1/4" deep. very good looking unit. find your best picture of it and frame it, it'll never look that 'spiffy' again. always enjoy your videos, thanks!

Absolutly brilliant seeing a senior boat becoming brand new, shiny and certainly much better than when it was originally launched. I also love Mia’s filming, editoring and her choice of music. What a super professional couple you make.
I love the bright red engine and of course all the neatly installed wires and hoses.👍😁
Also, keeping a essential tool rack/fasteners/spares deploy ready in this confined space may prove useful, even if there is duplication.
That is quite a puzzle of components! I would recommend that Maya gets to learn about the engine, take a course on engine maintenance, develop comprehensive notes on the engine and the spares required.

Make sure you fuse that cable run at the battery end, you could use an Mrbf fuse block right on the terminal.
The exhaust needs to be bracketed back to the engine....using those springs will just cause welds to crack....never ever fixture engine components to chassis/frame without a flex joint.
Great work Aladino she's coming together nicely, though I'm not sure about the spring set upon the riser, I doubt whether it will be of any use other than to send vibration noise through the boat, better to solid mount from the engine so it remains a solid piece with the engine or use flex hose that can handle the temperature, any exhaust part you affix to any part of your superstructure will echo through the boat, All the best, Al
Outstanding explanations, Aladino, and terrific editing skills, Maya! You two are getting so close to splashdown now, aren't you?
wow, you guys are amazing. This old lady couldnt fall in better hands.
Excited about the splash day!!
Thanks for the ride!
Perrorated hose clamps should be replaced with non perforated. I learned this the hard way.
That crawling around the engine and other cramped spaces is known as "boat yoga".
NICE WORK!!! Very professional.
That hi-rise pipe needs a piece of flexible steel pipe. You could mount the elbow and muffler hard to the bulkhead, and the flexpipe can do it's thing.
Splash day feels so close now, wonderful progress
Really loved this and how you explained the different cooling systems. Fingers crossed for the first engine run and then splash
Great engine setup. Everything can be easily reached and maintained. Great polishing setup as well! Love it!
This was a wonderful episode. It is a treat to watch a true craftsman at work.
Consider a 'loss of cooling water alarm' between the strainer and engine, it warns of impending over heat v. the engine alarm which is usually too late for the impeller. Also, no need to fuse the starter cable from the battery...the only place where a fuse is not mandated.
Well done both of you 👍. I would like to mention that in my experience T-bolt style hose clamps are far superior and more reliable than what I see in your installation.
Very exciting, you guys are getting very close!
Congratulations 🎉
Excellent job you two! Can't wait to see you sailing your adventures away. Thank's for sharing:)
The red looks really nice.
Just ordered a Beta 115T from Ben. Have been watching videos like this to know what is coming. Thanks for sharing.
Lot's of work, but a nice feeling though. Everything is new and grease free. You did all the work yourself and no mystery repairs to puzzle through.
Having access to all of your systems is really huge, the boat is looking great!!
I have been following you for a long time. I love your work, but I would suggest the hi rise muffler extension needs better support attached to the engine block instead of the body of the boat. The resonant frequency of the engine will likely crack the pipe over time if not attached back to the engine to keep it from stressing the manifold or flange at the engine.

So exciting. It'll be great to hear it rumbling. I just recently repowered my sailboat too.
SO EXCITED FOR YALL!!!!!!!
Excited for you and Maya. I have followed your journey for some time now and appreiate the skill and the expetise that you have collectively put ionto making your boat not only functional but aestheticly beautiful as well. God bless as you approach splash time. Ciao JK
Oh I’ll get the coffee on take a break, thanks for the upload.
It would be good to fuse the start battery.
Great work but please pay attention to the comments about the long pipe, it will damage in the long run, just a mater of time.
Brace it solidly to the engine as one unit or totally separate it with a long flex hose.
Thank you for sharing.
What a job you have almost completed. Cheers to you. Thanks for sharing :)
Your video is always the highlight of my week!
Can't wait to hear that engine purr, and see her in the water! You have done a fantastic job rebuilding her.
Interesting to see you so excited around the engine installation when its usually the actual boat rebuilding that gets you fired up :-) Will listen out for sound when you push the start button :-)
Even with a bit of work clutter, your boat is a true beauty and proven performer..
Getting close now! So exciting!
This is a new boat everything looks new. And yeah you guys did a really good job on it. I don’t know how you kept going to get this far. But the finish line is just around the corner and she will be back where she belongs. Floating.
a shiny red new engine in a clean engine bay 🙌beautiful
If you do decide to keep the high rise exhaust I really would check the back pressure of the exhaust as its seems like a very long run of pipe.
Jack of all trades, master of all!
Thank you, for the detailed run through, quite a process to install the engine.
Confined space comment: Strategically placed foam padding and other handholds as necessary for access in port and, in a seaway will greatly add to the confidence and comfort to you when you need to go back there. Especially when not wearing knee pads. And, I'm sure you will show something on how the space is well lighted. Are you ventilating the compartment with a blower/fan? Nice work.
Springs, huh? Why wouldn't you secure the high-rise exhaust elbow with something inelastic/inflexible?
🎉❤😅, so we have been on The Camino de Santiago 😂. Now I must go and catch up a bit. We are so excited for you all ❤. These posts are the ones I save before sleep. So I can dream of sailing, or adventures. Thanks guys
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Great job Aladino! 😊😊😊😊😊
I wonder what the marine surveyor will say 😁WOW, looking good, Grand prize winner! 😎
Always enjoy watching your work. Small observation that it is good practice to fit fire rated seawater hose on the engine intake. This buys you a little time in case of fire in the engine space. Overall the installation looks fantastic.
Looking forward to hearing the roar of that new engine. 👍
For someone so passionate about wind and waves, Aladino has a strange love for that candy apple red engine. It's all so neat and clean you could eat off it. My guess is that if she can't find Aladino anywhere on the boat, she will probably find him in the engine room longing to work on formula race cars some day 😅.
there's no such thing as a free launchYou guys are amazing!
Amazing, love seeing the progress!
After I killed one engine with back flowing water into the cylinder, I decided to double the amount on the VETUS Waterstop, so that the original amount of water in the exhaust can't overflow because it's twice the volume now. It works so far.
You're going to have the nicest engine room in Canada if not the world. I'm surprised that you can fit in behind the engine. That is a large space for a small space, if that makes sense.
20:22 Not the hose clamps I would prefer. These have punched out holes. The ones with ridges are far superior and don't deform as easily.
Besides that: Awesome video once again :)
These were only used for the raw water silicone hose. They have an internal shield and are purpose built.
Doing the engine install in Canada with access to your ‘on staff’ marine engineer seems to have been a good decision. Best wishes for a successful first start.
so glad that you got the engine in and plumbed. One step closer to SPPLLAAASSHH
Bravo😊
Thanks for sharing
Sail on
Cheers
Awesome work Aladino!
Details always take the most time it seems, but very necessary, no matter whether on a boat, house, or anything else, it's the DETAILS. I'm excited along with you to see it all coming together and very close to splash time. Be safe always from the Philippines.
Ever so looking forward to the sea trials!
Aladino's approach of understanding the most root elements of each job reminds me of Moitessier's philosophy of "making himself tiny so he could crawl into each fiber of his boat." But Moitessier was too much an ascetic to effectively teach on a practical level. Aladino is practical an relatable and will, i predict, make an excellent teacher if he chooses.
A man of many talents…
Exiting development. After the mast now nearly a motor. Keep on going.
Sehr schöne und saubere Arbeit! Ein Genuss zuzusehen. 👏
