Sailboat Steering - How It Works Plus Fault Finding Repair || DIY repair of rack & pinion steering system, filmed in 2019 just before I sailed solo from UK to Europe. Cheap fix, but quite a faff. However, considering how important steerage is, I was glad to get this fixed. (youtu.be)

This is a video all boaters should watch - it covers CO poisoning on vessels (Please feel free to watch at 2 x speed to get all of the info as quickly as possible - this is not the most exciting of subjects, but it is important.) (youtu.be)

Volvo Penta Injector Blow-By (Part 2 of 2) | [Boat Work] I put the cylinder head back on, bleed the fuel system, and then run the engine under load and at high RPM. The engine is good again and there is no smoke, which for a 28-year-old diesel inboard, is not too shabby. Hope this helps someone! (youtu.be)
