    Question Video Search Help Please

    Some time back, could be more than a year ago, someone posted a link to a Youtube video of an old fishing boat with a Diesel engine and a variable pitch prop maneuvering in a harbor. I tried searching for it on Youtube as well as hear and had no luck. I expect I just didn't get the right search terms. Could anyone help me out? I think the harbor is in Norway and there's a related video showing the starting of the engine in which a fire is started under the engine.

    Thanks in advance.

    I linked that video. Since then I've tried to find it again and have been unable to do so.

    The engine was a hot bulb semi diesel.

    It was a nice bit of docking wasn't it?
    I never learned from a man who agreed with me.

    Paul, it was indeed. I wanted to send that link to a friend. I hope it's still out there.

    Do you happen to remember the name of the manufacturer of the engine? I recall it was a name I'd not heard of before.

    Thank you.

    Awesome!

    Do you think he's done that a time or two before?

    Could be. I'd have holed every boat in that harbor before I was done.
