I never though I’d watch a 45 minute long video of a middle aged man rebuilding an outboard engine, but this middle aged man is glad he did. Love this series.
These videos are so worth the wait, I’d far rather wait four months for a 45 minute brilliantly made video from you than a daily upload from any other channel
Very true - the great and good of RUclips feel compelled to keep us, the aimless viewer, fed with a daily portion of their lives and output. Now dear Harry doesn’t do teasers or drip feeds, just a 45 minute feast of highly entertaining sea time 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@MrElemem funny thing is I didn’t manage to get my haircut that day as something else turned up, but after a week I did finally get my haircut and My hair went from looking like Elastigirl to Paranorman lol 😂
TIP: I have removed hundreds of bolts such as the one stuck in the block. Start out by punching a hole in the center. Use a 2mm drill bit slowly, while using lube (to not overheat it. chromium is one of the hardest metals there is) to drill it out untill you feel you've gone through the bolt. Then go to 3mm, 4mm and finally 4.5mm for an m6 bolt. then you start using your bolt extractor. Use a high quality one (I've used the same one from Würth for 2 years). Now you need to heat the aluminum around the bolt with a propane torch ( aluminum expands a lot, the bolt not so much) and then immediately spray some wd-40 on it. The wd-40 will penetrate into the crevices around the bolt, and dissolve the salt. If it feels like your extractor will break, drill your hole out to 5.2mm and thread it as a plan B :)
Tig welder is the way to do it i do lots for alk the local garages turbo manifolds cyilinder heads Build up with weld the weld a nut on, the heat helps to free it off . Hardest ones to do ate the ones with easyouts stuck in them
You gave me nightmare flashbacks when those bolt extractor and drill bits broke off, when a five minute job takes days and costs loads to fix. Well done for persevering and love your content.
I apologise for the panic attack i forgot i was wearing a life jacket. it was a very enjoyable trip. cant believe i thought goodwin was taking on water and in the end it was a spilt water bottle 😂
Poor ol' Kit! he'd not long been rid of my old Mk1 Capri clogging up his barn, then he got Goodwin hanging around for an overwinter. Lovely to see his face and also the house with a roof. And lovely to see you back on the water Harry. Big love to y'all xxx
You really need to get a fire extinguisher ready thats suited to oil/petrol fires! I was so frustrated for you when you were spraying water onto essentially an oil fire. A foam extinguisher would have put it out in seconds. SOOOO glad the engine survived and great work by you for doing such a good repair. Cant wait for more episodes Harry. Well done.
I came down here to say this so I'll just agree with the gentleman above. Imagine this fire occurred when you were out on the water? Please get a proper extinguisher before you buy another silly bag. I thought the bag was a neat idea right up until I saw it engulfed in flames.
Last words before the engine fire: “fingers crossed, I might have improved it”…moments later - whoosh and flames engulf the engine! That’s so so boating!!! And why we enjoy watching this channel! Nothing every easy in boating but worth the hassle for the sunny days - great video, good luck 👍
Absolutely loved that, even the fire! Surely someone from @hondamarine must be watching this and be thinking we should send Harry a new 50hp Fuel injected almost zero emission outboard.
Before storing - rinse out the saltwater and drain off fuel. Nowadays the Ethanol in petrol (approx 5%) goes off after a few weeks and can gum up the carbs if left overwinter. You can get fuel additives to help prevent this effect.
It looks so therapeutic to get that motor back up to shape. Just watching you work has given 30 mins of escape for my mental health. Thank you. PS I wrote this just before you blew up the engine
I have really enjoyed this series. This episode was especially good because it shows the trials and tribulations that come with an endeavor like yours. It takes time, energy, money, and serious commitment to achieve it. I applaud your tenacity to overcome the fire damage, not just to the engine but also to your moral. Setbacks like that would spell the end of many projects, but you have pushed through. I'm looking forward to your future videos as they come out. Well done!
That engine was fighting all the way wasn’t it. Good lesson for us all that one. So pleased to see Goodwin back on the water again. Looking forward to the next episode.
Brilliant episode, thanks Harry, Years ago a friend of mine was servicing his inboard Petrol engine, he removed the fuel filter and drained everything into a milk carton, which he left next to himself, whilst putting it all back together, he dropped a spanner into the engine, which caught the solenoid and gave a massive spark, which ignited the milk carton full of fuel, it was so bad he was engulfed in flames, and had to jump into the dock, the boat was very badly damaged.
I was worried that the exquisitely crafted boat cover was going to fall victim to the fire. Very relieved to see that it was off the boat and lived to look lovely another day. I love this series, it's really calming and Harry is such a likeable character, you can't help but grow attached.
This trip ain't about you going around the Uk in your 4m Avon...what we have here is life! We have been introduced to the characters in your life who support you one way or another and your sisters little boy growing so fast (cute little fella) I remember he wad a young baby and now he is a toddler. People around the UK chipping in to help along your experience..Charlie is a great companion...Eddie is up for whatever and full respect to the Legend that is Chris..always there. Sorry thing's don't always go to plan but we all learn from your mistakes too. Sincerely the best channel I have ever watched and for that Harry I thank you.
Harry - would be great if Nick from Aquaholic would have you on his channel for a quick interview as he’s only based in Torquay? He does a meet the owner series where he talks to owners of boats large and small about their boating ownership story.
So impressive that you persevered with the engine. I would have given up after the first removal tool snapped, then when it caught fire, I was sure it was time for a new motor. But you managed to resurrect the phoenix and for that you should be immensely proud! Awesome videos Harry, always a delight when a new episode appears. Been hooked since the houseboat filled with foam!
Entertaining video as always, 19:56 stainless into a alloy block might become problematic for future servicing, galvanic corrosion, the bolts may snap again and they’re harder to drill through compared to mild. Copper grease might be worth a try to protect your threads and act as a sacrificial anode.
I too have a Honda BF30 on my boat that I’ve done a fair bit of tinkering with over the years. You’ve taught me a valuable lesson, time for a second and bigger fire extinguisher. As always, a fantastic video, thank you so much.
Great to see you back again Harry, well done for keeping a clear head during the fire and removing the fuel tank, could have been so much worse... Looking forward to seeing your next adventure!
Can't believe went around the island with you Harry, and the boat maintenance is non the less just a pain in the ass, never in boat maintenance is it just one item you fix, that doesn't have many side jobs attached... Cheers and well done.
I never thought such a small boat with not so big engine can require so much effort to service and can be a nightmare. And you still had patient to keep working to make it work. It reminded me time I was strugling trying to fix my cherry picker for six months when I started my company. You think you will make it work it by the end of the day and you go to bed dissapointed. But when it finaly run nicely its hard to belive.
Thank you Harry. We are lucky to share in all the beauty and things you openly appreciate on your adventure, with your neat boat, and your cool, sweet, awkward friends. Its been a treat.
I'm sad I can only like this once. What you are doing is not only good technicaly informative, but very much aesthetically pleasing. Thank you so much. Please post more. :)
I love your thoroughness , when you do something you do it right. (Apart from the half-assed attempt to burn it to the ground :) ) Really great video look forward to the next one.
Bless you for showing the snafu Skipper, and explaining how it happened...There but for the grace of God etc. Congrats on having the grit to get the thing back up and running. Looking forward to the next one, great stuff many thanks.
Nice to see you back Harry bit of scare all-round, dangerous outboards you handled the situation calm and safe,,, brilliant video again ,,can't wait for the next video, Music is summer all-round!!!!
Tip: Dielectric grease for electrical connections and on spark plug wires ensures contact in wet conditions and also you will need a barrier paint between the stainless and aluminium on the water jacket. Dissimilar metals will corrode badly in sea water...Great video Harry WELL done!! Thanks for the entertaining fire dance!
That's why you should always have a fire extinguisher on hand while working on engines! :) Love these videos, they are the best things I've watched, maybe ever, thanks for making them. I can't wait to see what's next.
I must admit I LOLed so hard I had to pause the video. Then it went downhill. I LOLed further. I feel though that the people who laughed this hard have been there and done that to some degree and understand the trauma. Realistically if you don't understand what happened it isn't really funny. If you do, you've probably been there. And nobody loved dealing with it.
Pro tip, flush in fresh water after use and when it's pumped the salt out turn the fuel off and let it run till it conks out draining the float bowls and get rid of that pesky ethanol mixed fuel, Ethanol is death to carbs and certain rubber gaskets and other stuff. Kit is an old mate, greetings from New Zealand..... loving the series!
Gotta say ..your videos are stunningly filmed and edited..Hats off to you Harry...I think i say this every time you upload something as about ten years goes by lol
Loving the fact Goodwin is up and running again can't wait for the next video it's been too long with corona etc and those cruise ships all moored up doing nothing is unbelievable hope you hand is on the mend take it easy and stay safe out there young man 😀
Fire has to be every boat owner's nightmare. You handled yourself well, and had the presence of mind to remove the fuel tank to a safe area. Thankfully no one was hurt beyond a singed hand (hope it's better now). Checking the float bowl drain screws will be a lesson you'll never forget too. Can't wait for the next leg of the journey. Hopefully you'll be stopping by Lynmouth and having a look at the cliff railway?
Love your videos so much Harry 😁😍 I really can’t wait for the next installment. When are you setting up your Patreon page ? for the proper care/feeding of Goodwin and also stocking up on Jaffa Cakes/Pork Pies 🥧. A devoted audience waits patiently Sir. 🥰
Haven't had chance to watch this episode yet but loved the previous 7 and genuinely can't wait to give this one a watch. So glad the adventure is back on track Harry, keep up the content and I'll keep watching 👍
Funniest episode so far, my sides hurt. Good on you for still showing your mistakes because there's plenty who wouldn't. Can you post when you intend to get back in the water at ilfracombe.
Literally one of favourite things to watch. I particularly enjoy the humour. Can’t wait to see the next episode. Glad the fire didn’t do too much damage and that your hand is not melted off.
Can't wait to see the next episode, one of the most atmospheric and movingly cheerful series on RUclips. You've captured the pain and joy of RiB owning perfectly and I wish I still had mine...
Me and my husband love watching your videos because nothing holds you back. You learn from your mistakes. Fab videos, always enjoy sitting watching with a cuppa on the TV☺️ from Lincoln, England.
One of the best series of videos I've seen for a long time and literally watched all the parts in one go. Glad the engine (and your hand) were both fine. Looking forward to the next part and hopefully see you if/when you pass/visit Scarborough and the Yorkshire coast.👍
Great episode and a great save on the engine fire. Personally I think I would move the fire extinguisher away from the engine, could be hard to get to there if you have another......no I'm not going to say it 🙊
I never though I’d watch a 45 minute long video of a middle aged man rebuilding an outboard engine, but this middle aged man is glad he did. Love this series.

check out cleetus. hell yea brother.
I agree. Just lovely to watch and great music too
Second that brother
agreed
I'm friends with Gatlingun101 and he told me and a couple of friends about a fire, so glad he was here to save the day and help out
That stop motion carb assembly scene was awesome, good work!
A bit of Grommet and Needle Valve.
I thought was awesome
Great reaction to getting that fuel tank away from the fire. Good work.
Cool video man, also glad everything’s all good now after that little incident 😄
How was your hair cut?
@@MrElemem funny thing is I didn’t manage to get my haircut that day as something else turned up, but after a week I did finally get my haircut and My hair went from looking like Elastigirl to Paranorman lol 😂
Thanks for the help putting out the fire Paranorman.
@@harrydwyer LOL Happy to help Bud :)
Well done Gatlingun 💪👏👏
Man, I felt that panic when it went up. Good job on getting it under control before it was too late.
TIP: I have removed hundreds of bolts such as the one stuck in the block. Start out by punching a hole in the center. Use a 2mm drill bit slowly, while using lube (to not overheat it. chromium is one of the hardest metals there is) to drill it out untill you feel you've gone through the bolt.

Good to hear you've had success with the extraction tools. My tools were cheapo ones amazon, perhaps that's where I started going wrong.
@@harrydwyer I've tried the cheap ones too, and when they break, it's an absolute nightmare to get them out. I love your videos, by the way!
I've wasted a lot of time trying to get broken studs out now I just drill out tap for a helicoil insert job done.
@@jonathanwood5681
If there's the space for a helicoil.. That's the way to go...
Tig welder is the way to do it i do lots for alk the local garages turbo manifolds cyilinder heads
Build up with weld the weld a nut on, the heat helps to free it off . Hardest ones to do ate the ones with easyouts stuck in them
I have so much work to do this afternoon.... that can wait! NEW EPISODE!
Haha same!
You gave me nightmare flashbacks when those bolt extractor and drill bits broke off, when a five minute job takes days and costs loads to fix. Well done for persevering and love your content.
I finally understand the saying, “Mad dogs and Englishmen “ after watching your friend rebuilding his barn.
Honestly the most English thing ever, rebuilding your house for the best part of a decade! And I’m sure he’ll be at it for a good while yet!
I apologise for the panic attack i forgot i was wearing a life jacket. it was a very enjoyable trip. cant believe i thought goodwin was taking on water and in the end it was a spilt water bottle 😂
Waves can be pretty scary afterall ..
Many of us would have done the same thing. I’m glad you could laugh about it when you returned to port.
I understand.
Well, I did look quite rough! It wouldnt have felt comfortable either.
First time in waves, you handled very well. No throw ups on camera.
Poor ol' Kit! he'd not long been rid of my old Mk1 Capri clogging up his barn, then he got Goodwin hanging around for an overwinter. Lovely to see his face and also the house with a roof.
And lovely to see you back on the water Harry. Big love to y'all xxx
That's tonight's 'must watch' viewing sorted.
My son will be happy 😊
You really need to get a fire extinguisher ready thats suited to oil/petrol fires! I was so frustrated for you when you were spraying water onto essentially an oil fire.

Should have watched to the end before running my mouth. Well done. Carry on!
Wonderfully relaxing geek TV. Wish I'd saved it for the evening. Beautifully filmed and edited.
Last words before the engine fire: “fingers crossed, I might have improved it”…moments later - whoosh and flames engulf the engine! That’s so so boating!!! And why we enjoy watching this channel! Nothing every easy in boating but worth the hassle for the sunny days - great video, good luck 👍
This episode is a great example of why i love restoring things, especially vehicles!
Absolutely loved that, even the fire! Surely someone from @hondamarine must be watching this and be thinking we should send Harry a new 50hp Fuel injected almost zero emission outboard.

Use esso supreme 99 fuel, it contains no ethanol
This is crazy, I re-watched pts 1-7 last night as I was missing the Goodwin adventures. New episode today! 😁😁👍 Thanks Harry!

Some of that editing is 2nd to none 👌
I’m so super glad that little engine lived to see another passage.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, it simply is the best series on youtube.
I admire your patience and resourcefulness Harry! Looking forward to the next one!
A big applause to you! I would have stopped after the fire, you made the engine working even better. That’s the spirit, big 👍👍
It´s 40 Minutes into the Video and finally. The music kicks in 😍
I was worried that the exquisitely crafted boat cover was going to fall victim to the fire. Very relieved to see that it was off the boat and lived to look lovely another day. I love this series, it's really calming and Harry is such a likeable character, you can't help but grow attached.
but boy did that PVC bag go up in flames quickly : /
Love this content. Consider them a treat.
You are nothing if not resilient Harry. I really enjoy your films; please keep them coming and I really hope you get all the way round the U.K.
I've been waiting for this!

Lord this episode. Some hard work put into that engine. Many would have given up on the engine after the fire.
I really enjoyed that. Well, not the fire. But your optimism. And the lovely people you surround yourself with.
Loved this episode, particularly the stop motion. Oh and Renault Avantines are seriously cool!
I noticed that too, very quirky car and always seem to be owned by interesting folks.
Thanks Harry! Now looking forward to the next sea adventure!
I was very impressed with your resilience, dedication, cool thinking and skill to sort the engine out after the fire. Very well done! Real life drama.
Harry - would be great if Nick from Aquaholic would have you on his channel for a quick interview as he’s only based in Torquay? He does a meet the owner series where he talks to owners of boats large and small about their boating ownership story.
Omg, Harry I have no idea how you kept your composure , I would have lost it completely . Well done you. I'm learning lots
So impressive that you persevered with the engine. I would have given up after the first removal tool snapped, then when it caught fire, I was sure it was time for a new motor. But you managed to resurrect the phoenix and for that you should be immensely proud!

For those of us following your adventure that was quite emotional. Brilliantly edited video. Best wishes for future travels. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing your adventure. We are so glad everything is in order again. From Gabriola Island, British Columbia, Canada.
Yes! Goodwin rides again (and out of the flames!) 😎👍🏼🚤🔥 Great content Harry, absolutely loving this adventure.
Brilliant camera work, brilliant narration, brilliant content- BEST SERIES ON RUclips!
I too have a Honda BF30 on my boat that I’ve done a fair bit of tinkering with over the years. You’ve taught me a valuable lesson, time for a second and bigger fire extinguisher. As always, a fantastic video, thank you so much.
You are now promoted to be the chief engineer on the Goodwin.
Congratulations Harry .
Awesome.... Been looking forward to this.. Skip across the Irish sea and visit Northern Ireland..
Great to see you back again Harry, well done for keeping a clear head during the fire and removing the fuel tank, could have been so much worse... Looking forward to seeing your next adventure!
Everything was going so well, great stop motion work, great mechanics and then boom 💥

You were fairly calm during the fire. Which was very cool. Collected enough to remove the fuel tank. Well done!
Well done Harry for not giving up with your Honda30 after the fire...(many would have!)👍🍻
The true drama here wasn't the fire, but the water-jack bolt extraction! Gave me flashbacks for my Zuk. Thanks for this episode Harry!
Yes! New episode :) Glad it all got sorted out. Scary moment there for a few secs... Well done. Cheers from Copenhagen, Denmark
You just made my day 😊😊😊
Harry.... I really like your videos, tales you tell, and your filming and editing sensibility. A hug from a sailor from Balearic Islands!!!
Massive respect!, I didn’t take you for the mechanic type, but this episode proves otherwise!
Entertainingly reluctant sailor! But good on you for agreeing to go out again.
This is the only channel I have set an alert for.
Good to see you back on the water..look forward to your next trip🙂👍
If you held an auction for a day on the boat with you I,m pretty sure youd get enough for a few new engines 😎
That's why you should always have a fire extinguisher on hand while working on engines! :) Love these videos, they are the best things I've watched, maybe ever, thanks for making them. I can't wait to see what's next.
I love your videos more than any others, Harry. So worth the wait. And so happy to see Goodwin on the water again, she sounds happy!
*SPOILERS
I seek forgiveness Harry for laughing when the bolt extractor snapped (the first time)
😔
Oh yeah, that was so heartbraking, but I laughed too !
The foreshadowing of the water bag was also a masterpiece
I must admit I LOLed so hard I had to pause the video. Then it went downhill. I LOLed further. I feel though that the people who laughed this hard have been there and done that to some degree and understand the trauma. Realistically if you don't understand what happened it isn't really funny. If you do, you've probably been there. And nobody loved dealing with it.
Me too, never use a drill to power out an easy out. Do it very gingerly with a 1/4 inch ratchet.
Metal has feelings.
Pro tip, flush in fresh water after use and when it's pumped the salt out turn the fuel off and let it run till it conks out draining the float bowls and get rid of that pesky ethanol mixed fuel, Ethanol is death to carbs and certain rubber gaskets and other stuff. Kit is an old mate, greetings from New Zealand..... loving the series!
Excellent. You bringing back so many boating memories. nothing easy is worth doing. well done.
i was just thinking about this channel yesterday. Thanks for the upload. quite the story to go through!
Gotta say ..your videos are stunningly filmed and edited..Hats off to you Harry...I think i say this every time you upload something as about ten years goes by lol

Love your videos so much Harry 😁😍 I really can’t wait for the next installment. When are you setting up your Patreon page ? for the proper care/feeding of Goodwin and also stocking up on Jaffa Cakes/Pork Pies 🥧. A devoted audience waits patiently Sir. 🥰
Soo good to see you back, looking forward to see the rest of your trip around the UK.
Keep safe!
Haven't had chance to watch this episode yet but loved the previous 7 and genuinely can't wait to give this one a watch. So glad the adventure is back on track Harry, keep up the content and I'll keep watching 👍
A wonderful "sea story" but also nice that you have included scenery from the local towns and history while on your voyage. Thank you
HD is back. Great episode. Looking forward to the next. Goodwin looks in great shape 👏👏👏
My goodness Harry, those animations 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 the production quality on these 🤯

So happy u managed to salvage the engine after that horrible fire. Onwards and upwards.
Excellent video Harry. You must have the patience of the gods.
Great episode and a great save on the engine fire. Personally I think I would move the fire extinguisher away from the engine, could be hard to get to there if you have another......no I'm not going to say it 🙊
Genuinely thought that this boat had aged you and made you lose all your hair after the opening sequence!
I thought the same! I was like -‘I don’t know Harry was bald’
