Love your can-do attitude. Rebuilding an engine at anchor is a tough! Sent you AUD$5 via PayPal. We loved our Bruce anchor in the Great Lakes and anywhere with a muddy bottom. We also had a CQR which dragged on every change of the tide. In Florida we bought a Manson Supreme (modern design). The Manson Supreme was good on hard sand bottoms of the Bahamas and generally did a good job resetting itself when the tide changed. And congratulations on the pregnancy! We had a young child on board for a few years. Lots of adjustments but glad we did it.
Wow thank you so much Shane, you're too kind. It was quite the adventure rebuilding it at anchor but it showed us that anything is possible. We've never used the Manson anchor but so far our Mantus is the winner from what we've used and the one we use all the time. Almost need a second one for stern in these sort of situations. What tips would you suggest for a baby on board?
@@WildlyIntrepid you will both be wonderful parents. There is not a lot of difference having a small child on a boat versus on land. Only one "tip" - young children don't understand the danger of water so take special precautions to make sure your precious child does not accidentally fall overboard (at sea or at anchor).
Thanks. We told ourselves that this is how the first explorers did it and some sailors still do so why not us. We just weren't willing to stop the trip right away.
Wow what an episode well done beautiful wildlife and sencery. Was that a whale or sharks tail? To intense filming of getting engine out. I even felt I was right there and hoped the engine didn't fall or worse on you. On edge of couch so to speak. Well done and everything went well. Good job guys. Can't wait for my weekly episode next week better than some of my show on tv lately😘⛵😍❤💓💓
Enjoyed watching this episode while eating lunch. Nice blend of subject matter instead of concentrating on the engine alone. There are many ways to handle moving such an engine in close quarters but it looks like you had no problem finding a solution that worked for you. Kudos!👍👍
Thanks glad you liked it. We spent too much time on the engine so the exploration was so welcomed. The Hunter Facebook group was useful for figuring out how to remove the engine.
Im always interest in boat work......I'm sure that when it comes time for me to rebuild I will have learned from you who had learned from friends in the know and so on......keep up the good work.....Trev
Hi guys, loved your rebuild video. We have the same dilemma with a 45 year old 2GM20. I think we are going to pull it out and refurb. How old is your engine?
Glad you liked the video Terry. Ours was from 81 with unknown hours. Best of luck with the refurb. The good thing is that parts are easily accessible and fairly affordable. if you run in trouble or questions just ask us.

Thanks. Life jackets and tied in especially while sailing. And he she will have to learn to swim from a young age.
You are very “Brave “ sailing without the engine, really an Intrepid Couple!!! Thanks for sharing your adventures.

Thanks so much. It was actually a dolphin tail. We should be on track to post 2 each week for the next little while with the engine repair videos.

How anyone can eat lunch while looking at that hair is beyond me.
Jealous at which hair 😉
Nice episode thanks for sharing
Cheers and thanks for watching
I have a Yanmar 2gm also. I pulled it 3 weeks ago the very same way. Yall did a great job 👏! Thanks for taking me along.
Such an awkward location. What's wrong with your engine?
@@WildlyIntrepid leaking main seal. Plus changing gaskets and all filters. Total PM
You're engine will love you

Thank you so much Trev. We learn so much from others and it's great sharing knowledge.

Where'd you end up getting your yanmar parts? I'm about to tackle my 2gmf and I'm going through your series.
Toad marine supply can help you. They have exploded diagrams of all the parts. Good luck. Keep us posted on how it goes.
@@WildlyIntrepid much appreciated!
👍!!!
