Nordhavn 43 Engine Fix! Installing a Coolant Pump & DIY SIONYX Nightwave Install
In Episode 7, we are tackling some critical systems on our Nordhavn 43 to get her ready for the open ocean. After a stressful period of engine downtime, we finally install our reconditioned coolant pump. It’s a huge win for the engine room—the Lugger is purring again, the cooling system is rock solid, and we are officially back in operation! With the engine running perfectly, we can finally breathe a sigh of relief and reschedule our much-anticipated haul out for next week. But the work doesn't stop there. We’re also upgrading our maritime situational awareness by installing the SIONYX Nightwave ultra low-light camera. Mounting a camera on a trawler isn't always straightforward, so Nathan puts his 3D printing skills to the test. Watch as he designs and prints a custom, "clever" mount to ensure the perfect fit on our deckhouse. Finally, we dive into the electronics NMEA and video integration. We walk you through the process of getting the SIONYX camera feed to display directly on our Furuno NavNet 3D system. If you’re a fan of marine electronics, trawler DIY, or the Nordhavn lifestyle, this episode is packed with technical tips and cruising prep!
