Your shipyard guys are real toilers, it does my heart good to see people get stuck in and get a job done. As a retired maintenance engineer I can relate to the difficulties of getting rid of that heavy gear. Good on you guys. Thanks for the video, good content.
While not your problem, the shipyard should look into some industrial Ventilators with hoses. One hose to draw the smoke out and one hose to push clean air in on the opposite side of the hull. They use these in mining and construction where there is smoke, paint fumes and other air contamination. Exciting to see all that open space in the ship, can't wait to see what you do with the interior.
Hi guys, well you certainly got rid of some weight by getting rid of that generator and by the looks of the bed it was sitting on it had been a replacement for something prior. Perkins engines are great little engines, it would be good to see what condition it’s in as you might be able to use it for a project down the line, either way I’m sure someone would be interested if you want to sell it forward. That was a great move getting the shipyard boys involved, sometimes it’s easier and more practical to use the skill around you than struggle to do it yourself with restricted tools and skills. Great vlog guys, well edited, great music and content. Keep moving forward you’re both going amazingly
G'day Crew, Will be interesting to see what you replace the old generator with , hopefully it's more efficient. Good thing you have many options for the old engine , Access to the hull is always a good thing ,id expect that section of hull to be mostly in good condition due to oil lost from the engine. Personally, i would have tried to do the work "in house" to avoid the expense, even if it did take you guys five times longer . Still great to see progress aboard Flying Coney. Respect....!
Some people look like their job, and the mechanic looks like a mechanic even if he's in a different setting without the clothes that identify him as such.
That was a very innovative way to make an improvised generator. That said, it needed to go. Improvised machinery is great if the proper kit is prohibitively expensive or unavailable, but that's not the case anymore. You could probably get a genset thats half the size with twice the output and isnt unreasonably priced to replace it.
It’s amazing to see all that heavy steel machinery coming out of Flying Coney. I suspect she will be really flying once your refit is complete!!

Well done! Now the waterline becomes higher😊
I love your enthusiasm ! Great background music too ! Thank you

I hope you were able to recycle the copper in that generator welder. There was a lot of weight so the copper was worth a lot of money. 👍
Well done!

The install must have been very good to last so long. interesting update 2x👍

So the tank with sails will hoist it's sails again? 👍⛵🛡
Will you need to replace the weight of the generator with ballast to maintain stability?

A generator... that's a lot of expensive copper!
😃😃😃
Great job by the lads from the yard bit more room in engine room what is the tank above where generator was 😊😊
Diesel tank?
I'll bet there was a bob or two of scrap copper in that 400kg of old generator.
That is ridiculous you do not use shipyard time for this unless you have an unlimited budget.
Daniel I'm not meaning to make fun of you but I have never heard someone call a ped-es-tal a po-des-tal. Spelled pedestal.
Are you selling your scrap to fund other expenses?
