Glad you enjoyed it! It was lovely having them all to ourselves.

Hey Peter, that sounds interesting. Janis here. You can send us an email at crew@onboardtangaroa.com.

Short of the initial issues they have been great. I have them dialed in pretty well now so the engines are running great. If I had to do it over I definitely would have had in depth discussion with the designer to ensure specs were feasible for the usage. The Cummins injectors are pretty demanding for power and ultimately that was the only big issue we had with the ecu's and that could have been avoided with more planning and design.

Thank you so much Nigel. We are working on our storytelling.

I hope you subscribed because we explored this area and the Broken Group for two weeks. Even did some offshore fishing with Tangaroa which was a bit hairy. Next week's video is Tofino Hot Springs which was one of our fave places as well as Lucky Creek Falls in Barkley Sound.

Unfortunately there are too many wires that still need to pass through that area before it gets organized and closed up plus there is still a small persistent leak coming from there that we can't quite manage to stop even after a couple of attempts. Thanks for watching!

It was one of my favorite areas up there for sure! I will have to look into that company. Not sure how they would do that but it sounds intriguing.

@@OnboardTangaroa Hi, they also have a youtube channel, DieselPumpUK, it might be worth a look.

@@OnboardTangaroa other youtube site is BENZ INJECTION the vid is called run a om606 with EDC pump without controller.

I had a look but I think that is for the electronically controlled mechanical pumped engines. Ours are purely electronic. Not sure how they would pull that off.

@@OnboardTangaroa I had another look but in a survival situation it would be to stressful even if it could be done, best left alone, lol

I have not actually ever seen it amazingly enough! One day maybe.

It was one of my favorite areas up there. The waterfall was nice because we were able to get the tender right into it.

Sorry you feel that way. We will be sad to see you go.

Sorry to see you go.

That's my fault. I wasn't actually sure those were the invasive green crab until I did some googling after and they were too small to keep. Next time - now that I'm sure that they are the invasive green crabs - I will do with them what the fisheries in the area we catch them recommends. Right now, the Canadian government does not recommend killing them, they want you to take a picture of them and report where you found them. One article says In Canada, "conservation groups trap crabs by the thousands and deep freeze them to kill them - but after that, they're sent to landfill or compost." And one article says, IF YOU CAN'T BEAT THEM - EAT THEM.

Glad you are enjoying the videos! We are loving the Cummins as well!.

Absolutely stunning - I'm guessing you are talking about running the dinghy aground which we did twice in this video! I feel like we should get a jet drive dinghy then there would not be any issues with hitting propellers on the rocks.

Lol, you are right. We are just a bit lazy that way.🤣 Lots of amazing places up there.

Good idea on the filters. I used to have a filter cutting tool at the shop for the engine builds we did there but I don't think I have it anymore. Thanks for the kudos!

😍

Thanks! I will see what I can do to make that breakdown happen. There are still a couple of things to button up but we should be close to that.

I typically Try to use the Baldwin filters when I can get them. I know they are controversial but I run bypass filters as well. Not for extending oil change intervals but to keep the oil that much cleaner. I hate dealing with pitch black dirty diesel oil.

@@OnboardTangaroa Baldwin is pretty much all we can get around here. For Cummins I'd get a case or two of Fleetguard filters. Made by Cummins for their engines and other manufactures of course. The Rotella T5 might be a little better for the 6.7 being a synblend. Yeah oil changes in a boat are a pain. The old buzzin dozens that oil is black as black can be. You get on your hands you are wearing it for a day or two. Then trying to find straight grade 40 isn't easy.

The Fleetguard filters are a bit tougher to find around here although they have some very appealing filter options that I would like to try for both fuel and oil. Once I have some break in done I will likely shift to the T5 or even possibly the T6 oil although many who specialize in the Cummins engines say its unnecessary. The way I look at it is that you can never have too good or too clean of oil. I have been disassembling the old Detroits over the last few weeks and it has been a dirty job for sure.

@@OnboardTangaroa You could go with T6 it would be a few more dollars. I liked the T6 in my 6.0 power stroke I had the heui injectors worked the best on it. Oil changes it what counts. At least you have an engine room you can walk around in.

The walk around engine room was a must. I spent too many years crawling around in bilges working on stuff. My body doesn't like to bend that way anymore.

I am not sure what it was. It could have been red tide. It was like a layer of red silt. You could see the top of it about 3 inches below the surface. Clayoquot sound was pretty amazing. If we were staying here I would definitely go back again. You were blessed to grow up on the west coast of VI. Its amazing.

I had read that somewhere. It was super odd though. It was like a heavy silt that started about 3" below the surface. When you moved a paddle through it you could see it swirl around.

So far they have been amazing! Quiet, efficient, and smooth. Couldn't ask for more.

We didn't know at the time but I guess they want you to kill the green crabs when you catch them. Next time I guess. That whole "funnel" thing sounds pretty technical 😂.

We definitely had a great time on that trip. Getting all buckled down for the winter now.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Whaly boat, Doug Jackson from SV Seeker has one he seems to like it does what he wants to do with it. Not sure how expensive they are here in Canada.

We have been discussing tender options for a while now. We are mostly leaning toward an aluminum tender currently just to keep the all aluminum theme going 😁. It will probably be something custom that we can load a dual sport motorcycle into.

@@OnboardTangaroa I'd go with a Lifetimer or Silver streak two good boat manufacturers on the island. Tough as nails you'll never have to worry about it falling apart. If you guys are going far overseas you need a tough little tender you never know you might have to tow Tangaroa. Expensive yes but its buy once cry once.

Don't mind putting money into something that lasts!

@@OnboardTangaroa With you guys planning a trip away from home for months to a year having something that’s repairable anywhere in the world is a bonus. The cheap riveted boats they fail, made from light gauge aluminum.

Glad you liked it Bruce!

Lol, she is our little watchdog!

Thanks!

It was preeeetty chilly that year and the next year was even worse!

It was a beautiful little spot Joe. We were very lucky to have had the chance to visit. I will eventually do some more insulating. Once I convert the steering to Hydraulic that will help a lot as there are fairly large openings where the chain and shaft go through.
