Keep MV Lady Liselot afloat (engines, stabilizers)

I am a liveaboard and vlog about the journeys I make with MV Lady Liselot. Check my channel if you are new: https://www.youtube.com/@MVLadyLiselot.
I have a dream to live on a spot were the sun always shines, but… in the beginning of August '23 both my engines (Perkins T6.354) died on me. Not due to my stupidity or neglect, but due to leakage of the Dual Oil Coolers. On both engines and in 36 hours of each other. This never, never, NEVER happens. Two separate engines. Same part damaged on separate motors. The Perkins experts who help me now, have not seen this mechanical failure in their whole career, and they are my age. But, it happened to me. At sea. 12Nm offshore the coast of The Netherlands. Sea water damaged at least one engine.
With both engines still in the engine bay and engine room, rough estimations are that the cost can exceed $ 43,500.00 easy.
I have created a video on my channel which reports about the journey from Ramsgate (UK) to Roompot locks in The Netherlands. But at sea only one engine died on me. The 2nd engine died on me 36 hours later in the Oosterschelde. I tell the whole story in this pay-per-view video: https://vimeo.com/ondemand/mvladyliselot
