Apologies if anyone has already commented on this, the trim indicator on the Volvo DP drive legs of this era work off a rotary cog on the top of the outdrive (steering hood). the cog is rotated in a track on the top of the drive as the leg trims up or down. To calibrate it, let the leg fully down, unscrew the track and move to the side, then rotate the cog until the dashboard indicator shows approx. -4 / -5 and the green LED's are lit. When done, reattach the track so the cog runs inside it. The trim control on the dash should then allow the leg to trim up and down within the 'green' range of the LED's (up to +4/5). Press the button next to the up/down trim and pull the trim up and the leg will trim up to the top. The green trim range is for use when the boat is in motion (limited trim range), when you push the button to trim the leg right up, that's for trailering / drying out etc (Red LED range indicates that you shouldn't had the engine running and drive in gear). Hope this helps.
Looking great. You'll really enjoy that boat when it gets in the water. And relax too. It'll be really good for you both to get a time off, and get the batteries charged.
She is getting so close to finishing now just a few parts left to add. I understand that it is quite restricted in the engine bay even for you Rob but you have made good progress. Don't stop now Gents just crack on and lets see her in the water very soon. Great video Rob and Chris thanks for the update on the boat. 👍👍
Good afternoon Rob and Chris, good to see the boat making progress and I’m looking forward to the water trials. Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged.
One evening Rob watch some RUclips clips on using the trim control - makes a huge difference to how the boat performs and steers with just fine adjustments. Trim down to accelerate from stop, then trim up to lift the bow when the boat is in the plane - you fine tune to a point where the boat feels settled in a groove with least resistance - you’re trying to have as little boat in the water as possible when on the plane, without it porpoising (bow starting to nod up and down). Oh and make sure your fuel system is A1 - pre-filters, water separator clear, and an immaculately clean tank.
A happy Rob. Chris looked a bit apprehensive but put things back with Rob's help. Good thing to take it forward in what is supposed to be our summer. Hope you can get it out soon.
Rob it always amazes me no matter what you buy car ,van ,jet ski, boat ,pick up you no how to fix them up to a top spec brill video again mate very interesting to someone like me looking forward to see 👀 her sea trials take care and stay lucky and healthy 👍 looking forward to Wednesday's video 📹 already 😊❤
Shows how nasty the world has become when you see so many RUclips content creators worried about offending people. Unless something is deliberately gratuitous people should mind their own business. Another good video lads. The boat is coming along nicely.
The bilge pump has a float switch along it, this is fed direct from the service battery via a fuse, providing auto pump out of the engine bay when ever water is in the bilge. The switch on the helm panel you used is a manual override, supplied from a circuit breaker in the cabin DC switch panel. This provides independent dual feed and supply to the bilge pump. There is a second bilge pump in the cabin wired the same, the manual override switch is located on the DC panel for this one.
when you clean upthe water pump get a new imperrer and a spare one too! as its like a spare auxiliary belt in your car, stops you being stranded, no hard shoulder in the bristol channel!
Great work Rob and Chris. I love all your video's. I have only found your channel in the last couple of months while recovering from a knee replacement. Hope you both have a good week. Marc from Australia
A raw water cooled engine will always have shit in it, the best you can do see flush it after every run so you need to fit an adapter in the water take up to take a hose fitting. It's easy to do you need a a ball valve fitting to be able to shut down the hose connection when it's not is use. When running on the hose connection DON'T take the engine over 1500 rpm as the water supply won't be able to keep up. I run 2 boats with closed cooling but have experience with what you are dealing with here, so any questions please just ask. Chris
Another good video guys, you two take it all in your stride but as a landlubber I couldn't think about taking that boat out even if you had done the engine .
Great video, immaculate preparation of the stripped parts, then careful rebuilding of everything. Amazed that you can get all the parts you need, since boats tend to be one-off builds for an individual customer. Can’t wait for you to get the cheesecutter out Rob for the maiden voyage 2, with Chris on the jet ski as rescue boat 👍😎😂🇬🇧
Great effort lads ,that looks like a 1st gen chevy 4.3 v6 if it is one they are a great engine can go 2 ,3 hundred thousand had a pickup Here in the states with one run brilliant
You need to check the heat exchanger it can be the biggest failure on a boat engine I would inspect and make sure the coupling seal is in good condition
Nice one lads, great to see the boat get ship shape again, can I just say, at 18:53 the leg was coming up, but your green light still shows leg down for some reason.... edit just heard Chris say this later
Did you try pirtek for the hose. They mostly do hydraulics but they will make a hose for just about any kind of fluid and I think they even do air-conditioning hoses. Never had a problem getting imperial stuff made there
Although I'm not into boats, I have been waiting for this project to continue, together with the camper. One thing though after I been following you since the find of the abandoned black focus. Your videos need to be abit longer. Cheers
The sea water ( raw water) wont go through the engine block. It will need antifreeze/ inhibitor in it, that water also goes around the calorifier coil to give you domestic hot water for your taps and shower.
All bilges in all boats are where all the debris ends up. The bilge pump is an important piece of kit as it kicks in automatically when the water reaches a certain level, although some new pumps 'hunt' for water every few minutes and start up if water is detected. Bilge pumps prevent the boat sinking if there is water ingress, They should be chhecked every time you set foot onnthe boat. Well done and looking forward to the sea trials. Will you launch her into the water from the trailer, if so think about that manouver and take some local advice about the slipway you are using along with the tides heights round the Kent coast.❤
When it comes down to ironing out money the only thing that comes close to a boat …is a horse ! ..these two things were put on earth to keep rich people in touch with their poor roots ..🤑
Nice work, been waiting on this boat update. I did hear you switched ignition on to work your pump, normally your main bilge is hard wired, with a float switch near it. Obviously it will step up without your intervention.

Always amazes me the breadth of knowledge out there! How would you get this level of expertise when you didn’t even know you had to Google it!
Looking great. You'll really enjoy that boat when it gets in the water.
And relax too. It'll be really good for you both to get a time off, and get the batteries charged.
Can't wait to see how it cleans up after a trip down to the chaps at the local car wash 😁
I'm waiting to see it on AQUAHOLIC 😁
Get it out on the water! Enjoy the few days of summer!!
Been doing marine electrical/electronics for 40 years now so I'm 'keeping an eye' on those systems as you deal with them. Good work - keep it up!
But bypassing a fuse ?
This is like an old Sunday bonus video! 🙌
It is a Sunday video that took 3 days of hard work to record and complete
So happy your cracking on with this guy's soon be on the water 👌👌👌
Spend a weekend on the water with it, you'll love it.

As I said before guys you will make my year to see Chris with his parrot on his shoulder ! Cannot wait Rob
Looking forward to seeing it in the water.
Hi Rob and Chris,nice to see some boat progress, something different and interesting.. Alex.
Hello Rob and Chris, nice work on the yacht,the propeller is working good, great progress so far.the weather looks nice but hot .
Good afternoon Rob and Chris, good to see the boat making progress and I’m looking forward to the water trials. Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged.
I have been eagerly waiting for you guys to get back on this boat, it looks so lovely, it did need a lot of work, wow, but you are both smashing it.
Rob can't wait see you and Chris out on the boat keep up great work 👍👍
Great to see it’s on its way to the sea ! 👍
Great one guys, look forward to next, and some water👍👍👍❤️

Best you get onto Nick at Aquaholic and see if you guys can arrange collaboration. Could be a few epic videos!
Hopefully she'll be ready just in time for some sunny weather.

That looked hard graft, but almost there! Nice one. 👍👍👍
Great progress. Keep going, it will be worth it.
Can't wait to see you out on the water in the next one, fellas!
No one would be offended by a man without his shirt surely. Rob, its turning a corner not turning a circle xxxxx made me giggle. 🙂

Brilliant thank and excellent work as always!! Hope all is well, take care
Very nice video, Rob. Thanks.
Good HMS Rebuilds is on its way! Now where is the motorhome?? Very good video, thanks guys!
Two best days of owning a boat are the day you buy it and the day you sell it.
Top work as always lads, looking forward to the next video
Guys you're doing a brilliant job on the boat I can't wait to see in the water it'll be great fun 👍
Great to see the boat back, can't wait to see the sea trials.

Roll on the sea trials

Well done boys, been wondering about this project and when it was going to be completed, not long now when you’ll be swinging the lantern!
Combover special !

Great work. Should be using marine grade fuel hose.
The heat must be unreal mate....
Captain Rob and Chris see you in the south of France a great video guys
Great video boys what's next a train and a plane well done 👏 ✔️
It was nice to see you get back on 5his one and maybe get it out on the water! 👍🇨🇦
Cheers fellas 🧇
Enjoyed this vid on the boat,can't wait for sea trials guys
Brilliant as always gentlemen
Well done lads, can't wait for the next one😀
Fair play I've only ever done one boat up and boy did it take it out of me 9 months doing car after car and doing the boat crazy days
Make you have a bilge blower to clear petrol fumes before starting the engine, petrol fumes heavy and sink to the bottom.
ship ahoy uncle albert
Great video please dont leave it so long before the next one
Let's get it on the water ❤
Nice one lads ,remember Rome was not built in a day , it's coming along nicely , crack on !!!
Nice one lads, great to see the boat get ship shape again, can I just say, at 18:53 the leg was coming up, but your green light still shows leg down for some reason.... edit just heard Chris say this later
Keep at it lads, summer is due ( I think) 😂👍
Did you try pirtek for the hose. They mostly do hydraulics but they will make a hose for just about any kind of fluid and I think they even do air-conditioning hoses. Never had a problem getting imperial stuff made there

A Sunday evening with a cappuccino and another belting video 😮💨😃
The green are the trim tabs I think. The control to the right of the leg button are the trim controllers
Cant wait to see you guys on the water rob chris and his partner and her daughter stilling on it 😊
Need to watch with sunglasses with those teeth
Well done, sod working under that cover in that heat though, spending time under canvas in the warm weather always gives me a stinking headache.
Hello both, a lot of effort has gone into this project and has progressed well. Best wishes from Lincolnshire
Hey Rob, best way to get rid of all that water is to drill a big hole in the floor, problem solved 👌🏼
