- GB 42 Engine start tutorial for a brokerage boat that has been sold. The owner had a very thorough pre-start routine that was probably a little over the top but to each their own!
Thank you if I ever win the lottery I know I’ll have to hire someone like yourself
Agree with confirmation of water spitting at start up…everything else is massive overkill. In fact, the likely cause of leaky sea cocks is the cranking of valves so often. Only open and close when onboarding and off boarding, ie going home to land.
Since 18 years I own a princess 40 with corresponding engines and genset. It has Volvo TAMD63 engines and an Onan genset, and I have laid 30 000 Nm and 4500 hrs behind me with very little technical problems. And I do nothing like this ever before engine start.
I press the Start bottons and there you go. Oil pressure and engine temperature are checked now and then on the gauges.
Now and then I have a look in the engine room to see that there are no leaks.
No extra fuzz here and not on my car either...
Always start Genset first, before mains.
This is really a video for me or anyone who has to move her before she gets shipped to New Zealand. Genset first makes a lot of sense. Thx
Yes, what a fuss, it is not a Concorde aeroplane. I owned 5 years a 32 and after that 11 years a 46 Classic and it was only visual check and push the buttons to start the V8 Cats.
Good Lord, it's not a battleship your starting up. If I did this drill overtime used my boat, it would take out all the fun. Check the oil, start and go. Work the sea cocks monthly.
yeah, it's a bit of overkill. But, it doesn't harm the engines and if the captain is willing to make that effort, why not.
All I can say is ....Why...
Anybody not familiar with setting things up in sequence, will not profit much from this demonstration. The narrator is mumbling through a mask that probably isn't necessary. His fumbling with the equipment and in general, gives up very little in the way of useful info.
This was last year as the pandemic was just getting started so a mask was definitely a good move for the owner and myself from a safety perspective. As I previously commented, this was for the people in New Zealand where I sold and shipped the boat. I just put it on my channel for them and not as a teaching tool. I had the boat for a while prior to shipping and didn't bother with a lot of it.
Lost me at the mask. 2:24. Not a real sailor.
what does that even mean? Filmed right at the start of the pandemic so everyone being careful. Has nothing to do with a 'real sailor', and you also might note this is a powerboat...
