"...and now I know..." I have been sailing for more then 6 decades and still have such moments. May you always recognise them and continue to grow. Fair winds young lady.
So, after stumbling onto the previous 3 episodes first I restarted at Ep.1 and have now viewed all followed episodes up to the latest. I am beyond awe of your achievements and progress.👏
WOW that rescue really makes you feel good about the sailing cruising family ! Diesels rely on compression to start. If there is a lot of compression you might not need glow plugs, and perhaps you've lost a little compression. But, you wouldn't know how much you've lost unless you had measured it in Maine. Perhaps your dad did ?
You can always squirt a little light oil, or a couple drops of engine oil through air intake..start motor without the throttle or decompression lever open..i think Bukh has that feature. This will create heat in cylinder and improves compression to start. My sabb diesel has a special port for that and it mentions this procedure in manual
Quite simply you are one of the best sailing channels ever. So so impressed and we love your videography and your narration. Thank you so much for taking us to amazing southseas Islands most of us will never go to 🌸🐬🌞💗🏆
We all Learn something new everyday. Thank you God for people who are always willing to drop what they are doing to run to help someone in need of help. Sail On!
You are a legend. My husband and I live in Papamoa (upper north island NZ). We have a sailing cat, and are great at fixing things. We had an old Bukh engine on our first mono. If you need a hand with anything boat related or just anything, let us know. Tauranga has two great marinas’ and plenty of engineering contacts. You are an inspiration.
It's a shame about the blisters Holly, but don't feel bad, this misadventure will have undoubtedly saved many other people from the same fate in the coming years. Always informative and a lot of fun to watch!
10:20 That meas that your engine had really good compression, and it now is in a less perfect condition needing some extra heat it can no longer make it self. General ware of the piston rings can take a long time for failure. A head gasket will fail sooner, but not to much risk to the engine. If the cause is leaky valves that will damage the valve and head and can be costly. Check valve clearances. Better to loose than to tight. A ticking valve is a happy valve :-) If one of the valves is leaky you can lap them in place with a grinding agent. In an emergency this can be toothpaste.
Someone may have suggested it already, but when you get to a town big enough to have an auto parts store or even a well stocked mechanic's shop, grab yourself a can of starting fluid (aka ether) or even an aerosol can of brake cleaner. Either one can be used in a pinch to help start a diesel engine if your glow plug should stop working and you're still having trouble; just spray a bit into the engine's air intake and try to start it. The extra flammability of those types of aerosols is usually enough to kick start the detonation in the cylinder even if you have low compression. Also, check your air filter if you've got one and make sure it isn't clogged, same with your fuel injectors (or get a mechanic to check the injector for you). Your engine looks a bit on the old side, and if it's never had the injectors serviced, they may be clogging up due to age and less than pristine diesel often found at out of the way parts of the world. Diesel engines rely on proper fuel atomization and high compression to operate, if your injector is partially clogged, it'll be a real pain to get the motor to start and run reliably. Hope this information can be of some use to you.
In France the aerosol is called Start Pilot in UK Easy Start. Good for getting the engine started after filter change and you haven't quite bled the system enough on the high pressure pump side...so good in an emergency if you're in a hurry to get it to start ...hopefully the system will self bleed... Give a quick squirt every so often to keep the engine firing until it can run on its own .
Always add injector cleaner to the diesel because stuff grows in diesel too fast and Lucas works well killing two birds with one stone. Microbes growing in diesel can cause water to get emulsified into the fuel and create a hydraulic lock that can easily break something if not only prevent starting. Prevent filters from clogging and causing a shutdown if at all possible ....
You wouldn't have needed glow plugs in Maine as much as Fiji, even tho it's super cold you had good quality fresh fuel, no telling how old the Fiji diesel is.. Great video Holly, keep up the amazing work !!!!
yeah, I live in Vermont and was thinking the same, for diesel cars or trucks... My landlord owns some heavy equipment that sits for weeks at a time in the cold without running, so in cases like that, I've seen the need for the glow plugs, sometimes even more aggressive heating systems... thaw them out first...lol
Poor old Bukh is showing signs of wear. If you run out of battery to glow it with you can take of the air filter and give it a tablespoon or two of motor oil down the intake. This will give it a little more compression and it might start easier. Worked like a charm my old 10hp Sabb diesel ;)
Your engine must have had really great compression to start without glow plugs. Now it's just normal, they help ignite the fuel and needs less compression. Keep up on the oil changes and the engine will last for ever. Might want to check the tappet clearances some time. 👍
You should check out the Sailing Brothers and Adventures of an Old Sea Dog, Sailing Sunday is also worth a watch as they rescue animals and find them forever homes while sailing around the world.
My wife and I love your videos and your can do spirit!! When ever you upload one I let her know it is Holly go lightly time( breakfast at tiffany's character played by Audrey Hephburn) and as always she rolls her eyes and laughs!! Fair winds and warm glow plugs, Capt. Ron!
Can't help if you didn't know about hit the glowplugs. Glad you didn't get into a mooch worse situation, and glad you had good people to come and help.
So glad you have found a replacement. Fine episodes under pressure. I don't bother with my glow plugs even at 50°f , lower compression or colder they do need to function.
Yeah, we have an old skid steer loader at the shop that needs the glow plug every time, even in the heat of summer. It might be time for an overhaul or a re-powering with a modern diesel.
You inspire alot of ppl and ur a dam good example of hard work to find ur happiness. If i had a daughter i would want her just like you. Safe Travels and Fair Winds Wind Hippie 🤟
Every time I watch your channel I'm so amazed at how brave you are on the open ocean, I guess growing up with salt water in your blood helps too huh, haha. Love the adventures and still learning about the navigating side of things, you know a lot and so amazing. Thanks for taking me with you Holly. be safe!!
I'd rather miss the glow plug thing and feel a little silly, than need to head for a marina, where I can spend money buying parts... Glad it worked out!!
Holly, this is one of your best videos yet. Just fantastic. So many adventures. I think I might have missed the glow plug issue especially in those temperatures!
you inspire and are an incredible demonstration of courage. i am glad that there wasn't anything wrong with your engine. i'll take "oops and a tow" over the potential scenario of finding, fixing, replacing any malfunctioning engine components. clearly a huge pain in the ass when the issue was not identifying itself. so i'm glad it was a easy peasy solution. you're awesome👏
I have a Universal 5432. Glow plugs are normal. Also I heat the glow plugs for a count to 25. Look for technique to start with low battery. (use some) remaining battery to glow plug then compression release to spin it up then close compression release (while spinning) to start (if luck is with you) You have solar so keeping the charge up is possible.I did not have solar when I needed to use this technique.
Nice, thank you. I always expected to be doing this myself. Sadly my body gave out b4 retirement (all good) so I live my dreams through others. Blessings to you and tish for the upcoming holiday season.
Another great video Holly! The glow plug, a simple fix! We have to use it most of the time here in Canada! Life is a learning experience! It's windy and snowing here, on the east coast of Canada! Burrrr!! Safe travels!
I really enjoyed your video, fun to watch and learn from. Lovely sunset pic. Interesting to learn of the glow plug / engine fix. Nice music too. Wishing you well and blessings on your journeys Holly🌱
Bula vinaka! Good on you! You are incredible! I used to live in Fiji. Seeing it through your journey has been sentimental and beautiful- vinaka vaka levu! God bless
Holly,,,,you are amazing and so well adapted to this life of sailing..Thanks a million times to Tish..Maybe you can put a face to this colleague you call tish..
I one s climed up a vulcano at pentecost island, vanuato, 5h up ,5h down,and swore,never again.but it was great. maybe you do it one day on route.cheers keep on, nothing better to do!!!
I enjoy your videos. I went back and watched all of them, in order, until I ran out of them. Now, instead of being able to watch them at my pace, I have to wait until you post a new video (thanks Tish!) Still, I look forward to the next one. You are very brave, and capable.
i have an old 1980 universal diesel in my boat and i have to hold the glow plug on for 40 seconds which is what the manual recommends so i dont think holding it on yours for a few seconds is enough also having starting fluid on board and spraying into the air intake will help in emergencies
My Yanmar 2GM20 doesn't have glow plugs so not surprised you didn't know you had them. Perhaps the starter motor isn't turning as fast so not producing enough friction/heat to start. You've done so well with such a small engine but a 2 cylinder would be worth moving to next for extra speed.
What an awesome episode !! Wow the view from the top of the island..!..And..It blows me away ... how confident you are of your sailing skills which are also Awesome. !
wow your so lucky .. I love the islands , i only know glow plugs to start diesels . you did a great job . you should swim in a coral reef so beautiful and so many fish . the coral reef keeps the sharks outside . i love the trigger fish and the clown fish in the reef . Good sailing to you .
Hello , as engines age there can start to loose compression ,this is often as not inicated as harder to start and the glow plugs and or heater has to be used more . For me this is a inconvenance and not life theating . I think it would be a good idea to get its overral health checked out as some thing mite be cropping up . I run 10 deisel motors and also rebuild them myself . Take care and be safe Richard .
Needing the glow plug when you havent before; chances are the compression is getting a little low. For safety, a can of starting fluid on hand would be recommended. But do NOT use the glow plug if using starting fluid. Also, wrap the hand crank handle with a rag when cranking.... Save your hands girl; Thankyou for the quality content and inspiration you provide
3 years & you never knew it had a glow plug? Astonishing. Mind blown. I'm surprised your father didn't check out ALL the features on your boat & have knowledge of this &/or pass it along, while in Maine?
This might be a stupid question....Is that you singing toward the end at 18/19 minute mark? Life is an adventure! Love your videos...It's a snowy day here in the Sierras the tropics are looking pretty good about now! Rock on!!
What a wonderful life you're giving yourself, great video as always! I've just finished watching the Sailing Brothers who also had a key problem of sorts while sailing in the cold Atlantic - thick black smoke was pouring from the engine, resulting in a burn to the hand and blisters, and all before realizing they'd been running their engine for 8 hours with the key in the off position. 😆
Another trick we learned as we don’t have glow plugs (or if they don’t work) is to spray WD40 in the air intake, carefully warm with a torch or heat gun and then start. 👍👍
Only just discovered you and what an inspiration you are. You are living my dream. If your ever in UK (Plymouth), hit me up. I'd be honoured to host you. Best of luck. x
Best of luck this was so cool to watch hope your blisters are healed and the glo plug alight. The mountains super view and a big hike great support from your friends... From Fremantle west Australia Sv connoisseur respect and good vibes

We learn so much from you Holly with everything you do, and these experiences both good and bad are really interesting - thanks.
Holly, your "Let's get stuck into this latest problem then!" attitude is so refreshing.
Stay safe and keep singing! Love your videos and thank you for sharing your adventure! ❤
Quite simply you are one of the best sailing channels ever.
So so impressed and we love your videography and your narration. Thank you so much for taking us to amazing southseas Islands most of us will never go to 🌸🐬🌞💗🏆
Glad the motor was an easy fix. that hike was INSANE!! Yr guide is a true survivor.💖
Congratulations on the courage and optimism to solve problems, and for showing us these beautiful landscapes.
Well! Well Holly, great to follow your single handed exploits again.
Those amazing fijians... omg, I have to get back, forever next time!!!
I love how much you share about mechanics!
Cruising through paradise surrounded by great friends. What could be better! I love your videos.

WD40 works great
Have a fire extinguisher handy when using starting fluid.....speaking from experience
Here in NZ it’s called ‘Start Ya Bastard’

A 40 yr old Bukh is just run in
What a hike, wore me out watching lol. Paradise.
wore me out editing it haha
You have so much packed into this video. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures!
Glad that engine will live to motor another day!
Indeed the sailing community is very helpful. I have helped tow and or rescue many cruisers and have been rescued. That’s how it works.
Your engine must have had really great compression to start without glow plugs. Now it's just normal, they help ignite the fuel and needs less compression. Keep up on the oil changes and the engine will last for ever. Might want to check the tappet clearances some time. 👍
And some injector cleaner on next fueling might help too.
now that was an adventure start to finish to remember or as we say in newfoundland " sum good bye"
Enjoyable and refreshing content with consistent quality. So many other sailing channels have gone sour.
You should check out the Sailing Brothers and Adventures of an Old Sea Dog, Sailing Sunday is also worth a watch as they rescue animals and find them forever homes while sailing around the world.

Holly, it looks like it's time for a new engine. Bukh makes a 24HP that would be ideal.

Glow plugs are mainly associated with smaller diesel engines, especially marine diesel engines on sailboats. Cheers, Holly! :)
I had a Yanmar YSE12 and a Bukh DV-8, and neither of them had glow plugs.

Glow Plugs and Diesel Engines go hand in hand. Even on my Diesel Truck Heater the glow plug needs to be heated to start the furnace. Rookie? Yes.
Real camaraderie from the other sailors there!

My Westerbeke only needs 10 seconds of heat. If the timing and injectors are set up correctly and have good compression that is all you should need.
Awesome guide wow
Love what you're doing and how you're doing it Holly, wish I could buddy boat with you : )
Glow plug might now be necessary due to a change in your fuel quality…
I'm so jealous. I wish had the courage to do something like that. Do you need a deck hand 🖐
My Yanmar 2GM20 doesn't have glow plugs so not surprised you didn't know you had them. Perhaps the starter motor isn't turning as fast so not producing enough friction/heat to start. You've done so well with such a small engine but a 2 cylinder would be worth moving to next for extra speed.

OMG Holly that engine sounds like a galloping horse. Time for a new one before you go bluewater sailing again.
Always use the glow plug
What a wonderful life you're giving yourself, great video as always! I've just finished watching the Sailing Brothers who also had a key problem of sorts while sailing in the cold Atlantic - thick black smoke was pouring from the engine, resulting in a burn to the hand and blisters, and all before realizing they'd been running their engine for 8 hours with the key in the off position. 😆
