Sailing Vessel Triteia - Out With The Old - Episode 4 - Removing the Old Yanmar 2gm20 Diesel Engine

Hello friends, this episode you'll get to see me unhook my old Yanmar 2GM-20, unhook her, pull her out, and get her off the boat. So quite a messy process, and one I had never done before, so that was the first time. I used the boom with a come-along, attached it at center point, and I had taken my main halyard and attached it above it, and had the topping lift tied as well. So both of those were used as support, but with the boom I was able to crank it up, get it out, and swing it into place, and then use the same process to get it off the boat, which the footage is at night time, and it was a little sketch because it was the first time I'd ever done it, so I don't have any clear footage of that, but you'll see a good example of that footage when you see me install on a future episode the new Yanmar 2GM-20F. So here's the episode, I hope you like it, and give it a thumbs up at the end if you do. So I'm unhooking the engine, I just unhooked the water pump from the engine, and I'm really suspicious of the seacock that is the water intake for the engine. It feels like it's broken, hopefully in a mostly closed position, so I'm going to find out. I'll show you what makes me nervous about it, and then we'll see what happens. Hopefully it's just broken ----, so I'm going to flip the camera around here. So here it is, and it just moves way too easy. I do not believe that is my friend. So I got my water pump disconnected from the engine itself, there's been this weird slow leak out of where the previous owner had disconnected this, which we'll see what that's all about. But this hose goes up into under the galley sink, and into this beautiful piece of equipment. So we'll see how it goes. Not sure how well you guys can see this, but I'm going to try to disconnect this hose, and hopefully water doesn't start coming in, if so I'll just reconnect it, but hoping for the best here. So that ain't good. That's what I was worried about, so I'm going to figure out how to stop that. So I know that it's not, so I know it's not, the water pump seems to be stopping a lot of that flow, because otherwise the thing would just be pouring out here. So I'm going to try to unhook this, and then just clamp this hose off, and then I can just leave this and deal with it after. But it seems like the real drag is that even after I get my new engine installed, I'm going to have to pull this thing out of the water to change that seacock. So it's probably broken in the mostly closed position, and that might be why the previous owner overheated this engine. He probably broke it, thinking he was opening it, and then it overheated. So we'll try this out, see how it goes. Not too much water. It seems if it goes down, it's not too bad. Might even be able to lift this hose above sea level and unhook the pump, clamp this hose off. But we're going to start just by doing this. This one here, get a smaller hose clamp, too small. Almost lost my flat end of the bilge, that would have been a super bummer. Unhooking the motor mounts right now, unscrewing them, maybe not the easiest placement. Definitely wishing that I had splurged on the ratcheting box wrench, but what are you going to do? Trying to pull this engine. Got my little come-along. I'm going to have to adjust it a couple times to see how it lifts out, but finally got it free. The motor mounts were sticking, so going to inch it up, get it out of here. Heart transplant. A little bit more. Just got to get it high enough so I can get that pulley over this crazy overkill motor mount. Tons of water pouring out of the engine. A couple more cranks. You work, punk. You're done. The trick is to do this gently when I put my new engine in. This engine's so fucked, I'm not worried about it, but smash my manual bilge pump in the process. Seems like it's lifting okay. I think I'll have to adjust. Should probably adjust right here so I get a bigger, well, I don't know. I might be able to muscle it. Maybe I'll take it up. Oh, we're almost free. Look at that. Sad guy. Cool. Okay. Now I just got to get it out. I think I might have enough space. Kind of sharp. Keep my toes back in case it gives for some reason. Cuts my feet off. I think I get it to the height of the galley sink. I'll probably rest it and then retie so I can make sure I have the clearance I need. Oh, we got about a foot of chain left up top. Woo, just barely. This should be plenty to get us out. Outside. I don't know how happy he's going to pick like that. Oh, ----. Should be good. Keep my fingers back. Might have to muscle it a little bit still. We'll see. Oh, man. I don't know why there's like a hole where the oil is just pouring out. It can't be good. Right? It's not your engine anymore. It's like an old model. I guess I was picking it flatter before. Had an oil spill situation. Good times. Not sure why the plug was just gone. But whatever. Get this thing out. Get it done. Gonna have to do the rest from outside, I think. No. Haha, you what? Oh, no. It's good. I'm chill. And it's out. Got the engine out. Easier than I thought it would be. Bought me a little come along. Did the trick. So, yeah. Did it in one day's time. Wasn't bad. Decreased the hell out of that engine bay. Scrape everything. Bilge paint. And then put my new engine in. Very excited. Can you tell me what you're doing? Trying to get a line set up so we can try to rig this engine up. Get it off the boat tonight. It would be nice to have it in the back of my truck in the morning. Got a lifeline. Worked out pretty good. Got it on our little stand and a dolly. Headed back to the truck. Try to get it loaded. On the next episode, you'll see me mark and cut out the holes for the access ports on the diesel fuel tank. Followed by me cleaning out the sludge that's inside. Then I'll get to painting the lazarette. Thanks for watching. And thanks for all your comments. Until next time.
