      What a brilliant 'Wildlings' episode that was... pretty much a year in the making too! I bet your Dad and his engineering skills were the main inspiration for buying Minke in the first place! Without his experience, support and initial encouragement her 'recommissioning' would have been unimaginable Mark! So, so good to see your family all pulling together to help you guys achieve your dreams... you both do deserve it too of course! Couldn't have happened to a nicer more determined and secure partnership than yours! 'Life affirming'!
      Your unique and authentic 'rags to riches' come 'landlubber to seadogs' sailing epic will be an inspiration in any/all sailing communities, online or otherwise for many years to come... much thanks again for sharing!

    Dear Nadiyana and Mark,
    We were happy to see the engine back in Minky Dick was listen very careful to the sound of the engine with his headset on and he said that that he did hear the engine for the first time running as it should. With the past overhaul you now have more or less a new engine and as long as you won’t ask too much power or too fast rotations per minute from the engine in the first 100 hours the engine will reliable enough for long journeys. We wish you both lots of happiness and send you ❤️ from the Netherlands.
    Best regards,
    Willeke and Dick de Graaff

    19:50 Looks like you have to reorganize the electrical system on your boat, maybe you can use a spiral plastic conduit to wrap the cables according to their class and function so that tracking/trouble shooting them will be easier and to avoid fires like the one on the next boat that caught fire.

    So happy to see that engine back in and working again! Yay. I'm sure it cost a lot, but money well spent. As for the oil gauge, I went through a series of electric senders that matched the gauge I bought. Oil pressure always read about 8 psi at idle. I installed a mechanical gauge and it read normally. I finally gave up on that electric oil pressure gauge and kept the mechanical one instead. You have some great parents. Make sure you always let them know how much you appreciate them.

    I run the crank case breather through a oil fumes condenser made from soap-free stainless steel fine ribbon scouring pads packed in a PBC or stainless metal tube, the fumes are led into the inlet manifold AFTER the air cleaner, and the condensate oil is collected and fed into the rocker cover. Similar system to that used on large ships but miniaturised.

    Fantastic bunch of videos of the engine rebuild. well documented and informative. Glad you have it fitted and working well, looking forwards to seeing you test it out at sea. Some people recommend an oil change after a few hours use after a rebuild
