Thanks for the video. After installing the new strainer, do you have to prime the strainer in order to get water flowing?
Yes, simply unscrew the cap just a little to bleed the air with the seacock open. Be careful not to undo it too much.😀
Nice to bump into you today at Metalsupermarket. Found your channel and enjoyed your first episode!
Great video !! ... you took the guessing of installing out of the whole thing .. I am going to install my WM using your video but the question is , because we have the same boat .. where did you do the actual installation ? .. what part of the boa ? I can t identified the location ?
@@raymondmendez8092 The panel is behind the fwd stairs, filters on the engine bulkhead fwd, motor and membrane in engine room on old water tank box. If you have not bought it yet you can buy at our site icwstore.com or call us at 443-810-8366 Shane
Hi Sandra and Shane. Just found your vids, will go back and watch them all. l also have a Morgan 41 OI. Making plans to soon follow your footsteps. Stay safe.
Thank you Alfred! Fair winds!
Dang. This is wild. Hope she’s tough. I was cracking up when you told her to keep a good sense of humor. I was hoping you were not going to have to deploy the new life raft
I pray your wife recovers quickly and fully. I noted when all this was going on I was in New Jersey at the Boat World Marina in Leesburg. I was working on my new to me Morgan OutIslander 414. She has been sitting on the hard for some time till I purchased her. Lot to do but hoping to have her back in the water to head down the ICW this coming October.
Thank you Larry. Sandra is about 95% better and we’re planning to head south in October also. Hope to meet you soon. Shane
Get well soon Sandra. Good work Shane. Boats can be dangerous places.
Thank you!
So you said you were going to a restaurant to Enjoy good homemade southern food and you had nachos and beer with cheese cake lol.
The Admiral made that decision! Happy wife happy life! 😀 Thanks for watching!
Just installed my 12 volt on this past week and it was very straight forward. Due to high winds I had to test in the marina so ruined the 20 micron filter pretty quick but that's to be expected. Price was great and install was easy. Looking forward to using it in practice this summer.
Hi, great video, thank you for sharing. Im about to invest in a water maker and debating if I should go with the Seawater pro DC vs AC model. I was wondering if you're liking your DC model after a year of use? If you were to redo the project, would you choose to invert the AC model instead? Appreciate any thoughts, thank you.
Hi David. Thanks for the outreach. Since we made that video, we were so impressed with the system, we became the Sea Water Pro Authorized Dealers in the USA. I would be very happy to give you my unbiased opinion on the DC to AC question and provide you with the technical pro's and con's as well as offer you my professional suggestions as well as a quotation. Our added value is that we are sailors and offer free unlimited installation support to help "talk you off the ledge" if you get in trouble. :) My phone number is 443-998-8300 and email is help@icwstore.com ...feel free to call or write anytime. :) and thanks for watching our Channel. By the way, we will be exhibiting on April 28 to 30th at the Annapolis Spring Sailboat Show and will have SWP products on display. Shane
Are you at all unhappy with the 65 lbs on your nose? Just wondering if it's too much weight for a 40 some foot boat.
Hi Jason, along with the 65 lb Mantus , we have 275 lbs of chain below adding another 300 lbs. KYAN II weighs about 26,000 lbs and in 10-12 foot seas we have never had an issue. We keep our weight evenly distributed.
@@SailingMORGAN Thank you. I recently bought a Nauticat 44. It has 2 cqr's on its bow that I'll be looking to replace one day. I suppose if the anchor is a fraction of the weight of the chain, then it doesn't matter all that much. I have a smaller 26 foot MacGregor sailboat that I have a 17 lbs Mantus on. Oh boy do I love that anchor! It held me solid in 4 days of 30+ knot wind. At the time, it killed me to pay the price for it, but after that one trip it was worth every penny. Jason
@@jasonmcintosh2632 Congrats on your Nauticat 44! They have been on my wish list forever (or at least as long as the Morgan Out Island 41 OI was). In over 10, 000 miles the Mantus has always performed well, in addition to plenty of chain. Are you heading anywhere with the Nauticat? Take a look on our website , we are now the USA dealer for Alado Furling and SeaWater Pro water makers. Also, there is a link to Mantus in on there. icwstore.com Fair Winds Shane
Nice video! FYI that is an F15 Eagle at the beginning of the video.
Where was the storm??? On the storm with 50 ft of chain🤔🤣 Sorry...
It held well.. obviously says a lot about it’s holding ability. Martins lagoon in Essex
We're so glad we met you folks! Thanks for including us in your story and we'll look forward to connecting with you again soon.
Just found your video. I own a Mason 43 with a 45lb CQR and considering the same Mantus anchor highlighted in the video. What are your thoughts on the Mantus now that you've had it a while. My CQR definitely seems under sized for my boat.
Hi Pacifico, we think our Mantus is an improvement over the CQR by 100%. We have used it Florida and back. The other important addition is we added 300 feet of chain and never use less than 80 feet even in 8 feet. The simple fact is the chain adds 1.1 lbs per foot. Added to the anchor gives us more than double the weight! The chain often is never stretched and acts like a secondary anchor. We proved this using our anchor marker. thanks for watching our videos and we hope you subscribe
Cool to see another upload from you guys. Much love from landlocked Kansas City, MO!
Thanks! We gearing up for more!
Hey thanks for the plug! I remember that thunderstorm, and those brisk afternoon winds. Are you back in Balitmore now?
Hi Kevin! Yes we are. Building the boat kitty for round 2! If you get down here look us up!
Aw man. Both you guys past right by me and I missed ya. I live aboard my Morgan Out Island 41' Ketch, Amelia Island.
Sorry we missed you but hopefully see you on the down next year! Thanks for your support!
@@SailingMORGAN Well hopefully I will be a little further south by then. Let me know when you're down.
We are making this same trip this fall so thanks for sharing your experiences!
Why hydrovane vs…..?
There are a few important reasons for a Hydrovane. 1. It’s an independently driven system with its own rudder and mechanically driven vs a servo pendulum system that uses existing rudder. If you rudder fails, Hydrovane will get you home. 2. Hydrovane uses no power and is self steering to the apparent wind. It can also be adapted to a tiller pilot. 3. On long passages or short, Hydrovane is like a crew member, and let’s single or short crew a chance to relax.
How exciting! A wedding! Yay yay yay and huzzah! Good speed and all blessings.
Enjoyed seeing your trip!
Great video. Respect for your by the numbers approach & thorough research. Admittedly I was eager to wire things up & learn as I went with my solar powered camping project. I use the name Solar Sailor as a metaphor not worth explaining. You, however, truly embody the name by sailing and using solar power.
Thank you for the nice review!
What kind of hydrovane is it and where did you find it? I have an 83 Morgan Ketch
Hello Don. It’s an actual Hydrovane purchased from Hydrovane.com. Check your mizzen boom length. We discovered that we need to cut it back 12 inches , but that’s okay as the sail is short that much.
@@SailingMORGAN Thank you for the info! I will look into it. We just sailed from San Diego to Hawaii. Having a hydrovane would have been helpful. We still have 3000 NM’s to go to reach our goal destination of Japan.
@@donfreel2246 it definitely is a plus. The little that we have used “Hydie” our crew member we have felt it’s a game changer. Fair winds and thanks in advance if you’re a subscriber!
@@donfreel2246 You sailed thousands of miles to Hawaii and dont even know what a Hydrovane is?
@@SOLDOZER I know what a hydrovane is, I haven’t seen a Morgan with one.
? p̶r̶o̶m̶o̶s̶m̶
Nice !
Just seen your boat in Camanchee cove in saint Augustine
Yes we are staying there
@@SailingMORGAN when will you be back? I'd like to catch up for a beer. I'm anchored near Caps on the water restaurant.
@@marksturgill5360 sounds good . We’re back Thursday. Maybe this eeekend
@@SailingMORGAN let me know when your back. I'd love to talk boats and pick your brain a little
@@marksturgill5360 ok for sure!
Hey Shane!
How are you Mark
@@SailingMORGAN I've been better. It was nice to see your boat looking so good at Chamanchee. I new it was yours right away. How are you?
@@marksturgill5360 sailingkyan@gmail.com
does the hydrovane work? contemplating the purchase for my 41 OI
We have yet to test it out but we are 100% confident.
Sweet. You'll love the Hydrovane! I've not used mine much yet, but enjoy it greatly even for coastal cruising. It is just so easy to set up and click on, and without all the noise a electric autohelm that drives me crazy! Cheers from Canada.
Thank you for the subscribe and see you on the seas! Sandra & Shane
We are sooooo getting that same anchor for ours!!! Love your setup!
Great video but I have a brass cover so how do I open the strainer? Thanks
Hi Dennis and thanks! Do you know what brand the strainer is? If you can’t see any bolts on top then it’s also possible that only the bowl unscrews.
Ahh the Wapoo Cut...the Captain is from Charleston originally. We went south in November 2021 there were three sailboats ahead of us struggling against the current...one was barely moving...we stood off until he got thru, we were on a 35' trawler - we crawled along thru as well.
Next time we’ll check the tides carefully! Thanks for watching!
Looking good! Give us a shout when you come through amelia island / fernandina beach FL! Would love to see your boat and get some ideas for ours too!
We’re coming through Thursday and have reservations on Friday in St. Augustine. Will let you know as we get closer!
@@SailingMORGAN are y’all staying in St Aug for the weekend? Can we meet y’all down that way?
@@SailingMORGAN also do you all need a thanksgiving delivery?!
@Just Smile and Wave We’re going to be in St. Augustine for a few weeks. We need to make a trip north from 11/29 to 12/08 then we’ll be back. We’d love to meet you guys just not confident we will have time before we go. Thank you for the offer of delivery :), really nice of you but we need to unload our freezer, We’re leaving Savannah tomorrow morning (Sunday) and hoping to push through the ICW to arrive in SA by Friday afternoon,
When we get we’d love to see your Morgan and your progress!
Joe is great! One of the most helpful and knowledgeable guys around.
👌🏾
Looking forward to part 2. 👍🏾
Its a battle for us. Family of 5, three being "Younger" and training to use the composting head.... Well I am still trying to determine which way to go. We may utilize both methods. Our forward head is 100% Compost. The rear head is plumbed in, but I have yet to trace all the hoses. On the short list to do. Decisions...
We had a similar dilemma on going with both but glad we did. We saved a seacock and at anytime we want to add a washer , we can still use the box.
Well done 👊
Very informative. Thanks. Subscribed!
Awesome, thank you!
It looked like it was a big storm! Glad all went okay for you and you were safe.
Thanks!
Thanks! All safe!
Wow that was a lot of snow!!
Awesome videos - happy to find some nice quality videos around the Out Islands. As mentioned below, I have accepted offer on an OI and I am very happy to see the superb progress on yours. You are very knowledgeable! Keep it up.
Thank you for the kind words Marco! If we can help answer any questions just ask us.
Good luck with the channel guys!
Thanks and the same with your projects! We’ll keep an eye out !
Great presentation
Thank you ! Don’t forget to subscribe..it’s Free!
Couple things. You need a sleeve where wind doesn’t get underneath panels. They are not design to bend more than 30 degrees and overtime they crack under wind gust. Happened to me. No matter what zip tie you use, under the sun, after couple seasons, they snap. Not the best thing to use. Happened to me as well. And lastly, do not mix different wattage panels in the same array. Parallel or series, you will decrease the performance one way or another.
Thanks for your feedback. The panels are designed without sleeves to allow cooling. What you saw bending was the material flapping and not the panels. Heat is the worst enemy to flexible panels. This system allows air to cool them. Zip ties are a maintenance item , and yes they always need to be checked regularly like anything else on a boat . The different panels are on a separate MPPT controller. This allows us to use different voltages between controllers.
Looking forward to it!
Hey there! been watching some of your videos as well. Just made an offer on a 36 OI and been doing lots of research since. Keep the refit going, I may just have some questions for you in the future!
@@marcoboudreau9287 you bet! We try to work on it every Saturday right now. Once the girls are out of school we will hit it hard as we can in the heat!

Thanks for this! I was just going to rebuilt my old one (OEM - Perko) but I have to say I really like this Groco design much better. My engine room is going to be completely redone. It’s a mess. The last owner and before apparently had no idea about routing hoses and lines....
Just subscribed, keep up the great videos! We are new Morgan 41 OI owners and just are in the process of bringing it to the yard for complete redo. 😎👍
