Restoring a Sunk Boat: Engine Testing and Raw Water System

💡We replaced the old ignition keys with new ones to ensure reliable engine starting and shutting off.

⚙️The raw water system is fully plumbed, including the new raw water filters to avoid clogging the heat exchangers.

🔧We encountered a problem with the engines not starting, but eventually realized that the starter cables were unplugged, a simple oversight.

🌊We successfully started both engines and observed the flow of raw water, indicating proper functioning of the raw water pumps.

🚢The restoration process is progressing well, and the boat is one step closer to being fully functional again.

Why did you replace the ignition keys?

—The old keys got damaged due to water exposure, and we wanted to ensure reliable engine starting and shutting off by installing new ones.

What are the new raw water filters for?

—The new raw water filters are installed to prevent debris from reaching the heat exchangers and potentially causing clogs.

Why weren't the engines starting initially?

—We had forgotten to plug in the starter cables, which was a simple oversight, and once rectified, the engines started successfully.

How did you test the raw water system?

—We observed the flow of raw water coming out of the exhausts, which indicated that the raw water pumps were working correctly.

What's the progress of the boat restoration?

—The boat restoration is progressing well, and with the engines running and the raw water system in place, we are one step closer to completing the restoration.

00:00In this episode, we continue restoring the sunken boat by wiring the engine systems, installing new key ignitions, and testing the engines.

06:04We wire the relay block and install new key ignitions, addressing previous issues with the boat's wiring and damaged ignitions.

10:58During engine testing, we encounter a problem with the engines not starting, only to realize that the starter cables were unplugged, a simple oversight.

11:47After troubleshooting and connecting the necessary cables, we successfully start both engines, ensuring they are functioning properly.

11:57We observe the flow of raw water coming out of the exhausts, confirming that the raw water pumps are working correctly.

12:08The addition of new raw water filters helps prevent debris from clogging the heat exchangers, ensuring smooth operation.

12:30With the engines running and the raw water system in place, the boat restoration is progressing well, and we are closer to completing the project.
