What is the advantage of a hydro generator? It makes you slower and while going with motor it needs power. I think solar and wind is much more effective.
For us it is super good, because we always gain energy during sailing. It makes us just around 0,5kts slower but the energy production is very good. If we go under engine we don’t use it. But we also have solar and the combination is for us a perfect setup.
@@patandfrankie Thank you for your answer. I think you make everything right. At your age, I was working in a dark office with a horrible boss. You are enjoying your life outdoors. Life is short, and every minute is important. I wish you a lot of luck and happiness.
Of course you have to replace the tap... Now that you are experienced with, in the water, replacement, the next one will be stress free... Hot water or a heat gun softens the plastic hose for removing or fitting ... It took me many skinned knuckles to work that one out...
That’s true. Next time it will be a bit more relaxed. But with this experience it depends on the condition of the valve - we were lucky that the valve was in a good condition 😊 Thanks also for the advice with the hose 🙏🏻
I think you two are a great team. The ship's engineer explained the work processes very well and the ship's mate carried out the work to the best of our satisfaction.😜👍
That’s true and absolutely not normal. We thought if it would be the same if we life in a city instead of a sailing boat?! The diving bottle you can pump up with a handpump, with a compressor or another diving bottle. It’s very flexible 😊
either buy a kit of various size taper plugs/bungs with hammer, or make up your own to suite your thru holes .they should be in your safety spares lockers/
Thanks so much for your Tipps. We have different kinds of plugs and most of them are connected to a seacock. It worked well with a plug from the outside.
I once did a quick seacock change of the engine while in the water, had extra pump close to hand and was near a crane. As it was from the engine I could not plug it from the outside, otherwise I would have.

Good job my loves 🩵
Thanks! ❤️
How nice of your friend to jump into the marina water and help you and great teamwork. How do you refill the small diving bottle?
That’s true and absolutely not normal. We thought if it would be the same if we life in a city instead of a sailing boat?!

Great job! You are really allround boat engineers.
And what about Scirocco? l think he was also involved. Wasn’t he? 🤔
Thanks! 😊 Of course he was the chief engineer 🐶
That is a very nice clean engine room. Wow.
Thanks 😊 Frankie is taking care of it very well! 😄

Wow that gets anyone nervous.. sounds like it went well though? 👍
I would do the same if it is only a seavelve and not the whole through-hull piece …but have not done it. Can be tricky. Good job 👏🏼
Thank you 🙏🏻
rotary pump driven from battery power drill ,hose into sump.the out going hose to a bucket.
Thanks - we have a pump like this on board 😊
did you see the tapered bung/plugs in the area .?
Yes, we have some 👌🏼
If you are positive the skin fitting won't break,no problem.
It is always risky but we tried it very carefully and it worked 😊
How did the repair of the teak table go? Does it work well with sikaflex?
Thanks for your question. It was ok, we think just for repairs it works well. So we are happy with this solution 😊
cool headlamp/ are you happy with it??? Where can I find it???
Thank you - yes, we are super happy with the headlight. You can find the link in the video description.
It was your foul mouth neighbour who did all the swearing.
