What is THIS doing in our boats gearbox?

- We pick up anchor in St Pierre and head down to Fort de France for a quick spot of bouldering before continuing on the 22 nautical mile sail to Le Marin, where we tackle a long list of boat jobs, from changing our gearbox oil (and finding a nifty little thing during the process), to sealing a hatch which drips on us every now and then.

About Us
We are Becka and Zach, a couple who, in 2020, dreamt of sailing off into the big blue. Trouble is- we were in a pandemic, had a university degree to finish, on a student budget, only had ever sailed dingies, oh and didn’t have a boat. The dream seemed not only unrealistic but pretty insane.
However, we worked hard, finished our degrees, worked as many hours as physically possible, saved with all our might, got experience and in March 2022 bought our very own sailboat, Teulu. Having little sailing experience and being a young couple, we have encountered a tonne of hurdles and made plenty of mistakes! but for every downfall, there has always been a reason to dust ourselves off and carry on.
We hope you can join us as we sail around the world and keep #bloodydoingit
#sailing #boatlife
Watching this video, it is like this particular boat was made for you two........with the amount of time you have been sailing it is like it responds to the touch you both have.
We were very lucky to find her and knew instantly that she was right for us 😊
I love getting up on a Monday morning, having a cup of coffee and watching Teulu Tribe. I am truly blessed. Way to many boats in that harbor, but that meant you could find the things you needed for boat work. One of those trade offs you have to make. Loving this journey. Thanks for the ride. Stay safe. ❤🙏
It's always lovely to know that we get to kick someones Mondays off, hope you have a wonderful week! It was worth it for all the marine stores and services. Cheers Steve 😊
5:32 - you definitely need to replace the footsteps on the mast by these training grips for rock climbers
3:15 - as a marine biologist have you asked Ms. Dekker how dare she bring a fresh water animal into the salty and followed this up with a criminologist assessment?
Nice to see people fixing and improving systems constantly, keeping the boat organized and clean👏
Best adventure sailing show on RUclips.
You're far too kind Peter ☺️
Another great video this week and a great history lesson 😊 glad you're both feeling better after last week x
Glad you liked it Susan, thanks ☺️
The quality of your shows is growing on me more every week, very nice work! When we mount something on or through deck, we invariably put some goop in before tightening everything down, as the rubber bits don't stop all the leaks and you will find water going through there at some point. By goop, I generally mean one of the 3M products, or in this case, some Maritime black to match your teak, it should be flexible for when you want to renovate later. Other opinions are welcome here. Your magnet revelation brings a smile. You both do an excellent job of bringing the special moments, adventure, and discovery to this show, keep this up.
Totally agree with your goop comment, dry fit rarely works perfectly.
As much as anything it acts initially as a lube, so the rubber element can move into its happy position during tightening….
Then it cures to complete the seal.
Cheers, R. 😎👍🍻
Cheers David, its always nice to know that we are getting better at this! I'll keep this in mind next time I add one, thankfully it is just through to the lazaret. So small leaks won't be a big issue, but I'll keep an eye on it. Thanks for the advice and your kind words 😁
Thank you for the wholesome and entertaining content. You two have become my favorite live-aboard sailboat channel. Also, magnets on oil drain plugs are such a brilliant and simple solution. I've had a dirt bike and a truck both with one.
Our pleasure, that’s means so much to us ☺️ Such a simple but smart solution!
Your channel is wonderful you have such amazing outlooks on pretty much everything. Thanks for sharing your life.
Great job on the videos, keep up the good work, Stay Safe & Fair Winds!!
Thanks 😁
Looks like he could use a couple of long taper reamers :) -in hindsight.
The fitting you removed from the transom was for an Ensign Staff - remember all that grief you got when you first started about how and where you were flying your ensign... that could have been your solution... 😂Live and learn. Keep doing it!
I could well have been for that! If only we had known 😂
Great channel. I go back to episode 61. My brother was an artist and so were his wives, children and friends. However, I never saw anything done by the lot of them (l'art pour l'art) that appealed more to me than Becka's work simply scrolling through her books of text, ideas and art. And then you go sailing.....bloody doing it. Love it. What did Zack do in his pre-sailing life.
Cheers 😊 I worked doing sustainability work for a tech company after Uni and then was an environmental and sustainability business partner for a yacht manufacturer (I loved this job).
@@TeuluTribe My next boat will have an electric motor. Your thoughts?
Thank you guys for taking the time to make this vlog I really appreciate it and I loved it ,out of all the sailing channels that I watch I wait for your weekly one the most ....sending you both a big hug x
Our pleasure Stephen 😁 Thank you so much, comments like this really make our days!
Some cars have magnets on the end of the oil drain plug also. Been doing that for decades I think. Definitely helps keep any tiny shards of iron from causing more problems if they were allowed to circulate in the oil.
It’s such a simple solution to the issue.
Because of the interest you both have, as you sail northward, Charleston SC is a must on you visits, you"ll love the city as a whole, along with Charleston Harbour.
Unfortunately we are heading south for Hurricane season. I'm sure we'll end up visiting Charleston at some point, it's definitely on our list 😊
Excellent job guys - ongoing maintenance and updates will definitely save your sanity in the long run. Fair winds ⛵️
Cheers, I hope so 😁
imagine that sail ketch Q under full sail out on the ocean
It would be stunning!
It was huge!😮😮 incredible boat!
Repairs/Improvements & a Bit of Fun…Good for You👍 Continue to Stay Safe and Enjoy😎
Cheers Steven! 😁
You guys are totally watchable! God's speed.
I'm in awe of your skills!
Boat jobs are never ending!
They sure are 😅 But worth it.
thank you for the journey and the history lesson. Fantastic editing. Working on a boat in paradise, the viewing public dreams of this but I know behind the scenes it's loads of work. Best wishes to you both.
Our pleasure, it can be more work than it seems from YT. However, we wouldn't want to by anywhere else right now ☺️ Thanks!
History, wildlife, sailing, boat jobs. Another fantastic video. Keep safe. Where are you planning to go for the hurricane season?
Cheers, we are planning on going south to the ABC’s 😊
Hi Guys, great vids, did you know that you youtube 'playlist' is a bit mixed up and later vids like this one aren't included. Just letting you know becasue I just started watching a few weeks ago and was using the playlist to watch all your vids in series. Anyway no biggy. Love the channel!
Zach, using magnetic probes to collect metal particles is quiet a common thing. They use them a lot in Aviation and we know them as "Chip Detectors" you can also find them in an Electromagnetic form which will turn a light on if the Chip Detector picks up metal It is also good practice to Cut open your oil filters and look at the debri that it is picking up. You can buy specialist cutter tools that uses a wheel cutter to cut the metal housing cleanly so that when you have the filter elements you are not looking at the metal from the filter housing but only the engine wear metals another good practice is to filter the oil through a paper filter to check for other Non-Magnetic pieces that may be in the oil,
ie:- rubber of "O" ring seals or plastic washers that maybe breaking down another handy tool is a Telescopic Magnet or (Magnet on a stick) to run through the waste oil filter papers are cheap and easy to use but can show something is going wrong way before it does
I had no idea 😅 Thats a really good idea, next time I have to change the oil I'll make sure to filter it to look for other bits of rubbish. Cheers!
Another good video, thank you, i enjoy the pictures history tips of places you visit, good job on the Go Pro also.
Ours pleasure 😊
Hi Teulu. Another great video. Love watching Zach doing all the upgrades and repairs. Sump Plugs with Magnets have been around for yonks, but only "certified members of the mucky hand brigade" are familiar with them. You live and you learn. Thanks for pointing out 'Kokachin' in your video. I remember you showing us many moons ago, when you were still in the UK. I've now Googled it and found it fascinating, so will be following up on her. Thanks also for pointing out 'Big Guppy' and the fishing cutter her dad built. Looking forward to next week's episode.
Hi Russ! Thanks glad you enjoyed it, haha you learn something new everyday on a boat. See you then 😁
Indeed that magnet "discovery" made me crack up too;)
Marvelous! Can't wait for your next episode. Thank you both for sharing!
Thanks David, see you next morning 😁
Brilliant video.
Hi guys , great to see you both so happy and living your dream . Are you planning on crossing the Pacific?
Becka, your shorter hair really suits you well😊
Zach.
I like your hat. Getting one definitely.
Cheers David I get way too sunned out if I don't have it while sailing 😂
That socket is for a short flagstaff,to fly your red duster.
i kinda want to buy ya'll a funnel for your engine fluids lol
Magnets have been in car sump plugs and gearbox drain plugs for years probably 50+ years, a little tip take out your filler plug before you drain the gearbox it allows the oil to escape easier.
Thanks for the advice Patrick 😊
Amy’s in Prison!!’ Noooo… the Doctor and Rory will rescue you…oh wait- you are a badass and will escape the prison and volcano yourself 😂🎉beautiful place Teulu TARDIS took you too this week…and a Guppy friend as well- very nice. I spent 4 days cleaning and outfitting my sailboat and had my first dinner party with friends- was fantastic, I made a leg of lamb…😊🎉🎉thanks for the great video and the travel log. Cheers 🎉
Hey Gary 😁 She's a smart cookie and managed to get out all by herself! Thats so nice to hear, I hope you enjoy the summer season to come!
@@TeuluTribe Thanks, glad to be a part of the community!
Awesome video and yeah WOW!!!! about that magnet bolt. Continue your dream life sailing around the Caribbean catch you next week stay safe. I have noticed all these little jibs fixing and replacing to add up to a lot. That Nav station now is going to be an excellent office space.
Cheers Jonathan, it sure adds up. However, we are still very much trying to get the boat to the standard we want it. Hopefully in the next year or so we would have done all the upgrades we will need 😊 See you next week!
The lacrom 😂😂😂
I think that old mount is a for holding the flagpole for your Ensign :-)! Hope you haven't had problems with starlink cracking down on cruisers.
I could well have been for that! At the moment ours is still all good, we just can't use it out at sea anymore. Anchorages are fine.
fitting looks like a flag holder
love the boat, check for a second used trans. heads up!
Cheers, I'll have a look!
Criminology ? Just Curious, did the Course Start with 18th Century Italian Criminologist Cesare Beccaria by any chance, as all of his Findings have been Confirmed, by every Criminologist Since. I did a deep dive into the Subject after being Shot By a Nutter in 1989, and thoughtful things turned out to be nothing like I had suspected, and clarified much of the Reasoning behind Our Common Law Constitution (paralleled with about 30 years of diving into Constitutional Philosophy - which oddly, nobody today can get qualified in , as I found out when attempting to to get qualified in. We are in May, and Hurricane Season Officially starts June 1st, any plans on doing a Bold Sir Robin (Monty Python's Holy Grail reference ) and Boldly Run Away to somewhere to Shelter ? Mr Weatherman Channel has another Channel worth watching, on RUclips, called Earth QC, which he is using for keeping a Close eye in this El Nino year, during which unpredictable and Nasty things can happen. Keep a Close eye on things, and Keep Safe. Best Wishes and Fair Winds. Bob in Wales. 🤔👍⛵️✨️✨️✨️
Brilliant content as always, stay safe you guyz x
Cheers Steve!
Nice cruising area!
Beautiful 😊
Fascinating to watch how well you two work as a team. Did you ever get your cooktop?
We have our moments 😉 Yes we did!
And when you mount new plugs in the deck you should use epoxy on both the hole and the plugs
I’ll have a look into it next time I do one. Thanks 😊
When you mount something on your deck, you must have some sealant between the deck and the thing mounted, not only on the screws.. tec7 or something..
The unit came with a rubber bottom, so I didn’t think that there was a need for extra sealant.
On the anchoring topic ..... the swing radius for 30 to 50 footer would imagine not a significant difference .... but then Q sure would not be able to anchor where you are that close in to shore. Wonder how long it's anchor chain is ..... fun to tick of tasks completed and see the done list surpass the to do list in length .... saw a vertical wind turbine and caused me to google interesting to say the least ... thx for the share .. as always .. never stop dreaming, ust dream bigger .. have fun be safe, save our oceans .....
Q ended up just going into the marina to fill up on fuel, there probably wouldn’t have been much room for her in the anchorage 😅 Cheers Peter!
Hi guys, be careful putting your router packed between the books it may overheat or get long-term heat damage.
I’ll keep an eye on it, thanks David!
As a mechanic frost.. or black frost is normal wear. Metal shining flake is start of failure or failing. Lumps of metal is failed...
Its that hatch the wrong way round to pull air into the cabin. Oh pick up a canvas tarp for cockpit shade..
Thanks for the tip, luckily there weren't any big lumps of metal!
Awesome, just really like the groovy feel I get when I'm with u both, so real. Zach where did u get the cable deck cover thingy please😆 Becka that yacht was magnificent, I could see u behind the helm, just bloody doing it!!! Be safe, be free xx🇦🇺🇬🇧👍😲
Always nice to know we add a bit of groovy to someones day! I think I got it from www.seaviewglobal.com/collections/cable-seals/products/cable-glands?variant=12309223374946
Haha thanks we will! 😁
@@TeuluTribe Thanks Tribe 💞
Wooooo Hoooo
Whooop
Hey another brilliant episode, really enjoyed it, doing a excellent job 👍👍⛵️⛵️
Cheers Stuart 😊
the way you pronounced _Ed Dubois_ 😆
Haha yeah still need to work on that 😅
I’m surprised that the prisoner in the local goal wasn’t cooked by the heat of the lava and ash.
Just be careful with the router behind all those books. It can get hot if it doesn’t have a good air flow around it. I have seen more burned out routers for failure investigation which have all turned out to be fine except for where they were positioned… book shelves and above radiators!! Instructions should give min and max ambient temps!
The magnetic plugs is so old as the way to Rome. Well almost. 😂.
Check how much metal it makes it should not be much.
I don’t know how I never knew about it before 😂
Hi guys, great videos. Just a tip but if you pump out the oil from the filler on top it is much cleaner and you dont need to ruin a good pot. Then clean the magnetic plug while.most.of the oil is already out. F
Thanks for the advice 😊
♥️♥️🥰🥰
😄
Prisoner in that cell.
I remember reading a "Ripley's Believe it or Don't" comic book back in the 1960s about that volcano and "lone" survivor. He was portrayed as a white guy in that rag.
Interesting... guess I don't believe Ripley...
That’s odd…It’s a crazy story how he survived!
Not sure if my expectations are off, but I wouldn’t class those internet speeds as good for a Starlink dish … I would have hoped they would see at least 100Mbps down and 20Mbps up. I assume it might be issues with dish alignment being fixed to a moving boat??
It was due to so many other dishes being in the area, it’s the only place we’ve had this issue.
IS THAT A DEDICATED SAUCE PAN FOR WASTE OIL?
Haha we use it for all kinds of nasty things in the engine room.
Im looking forward to the episode where you explain how you did this 😊
What's your plan for Starlink? Are you keeping the Roam plan and just using it at anchor, or going with the mobile priority plan...or will you just going to carry on using it to see what happens?
Starlink still works at anchor thankfully! For our next big crossing we'll use the pay as you go data while out at sea, mainly just for weather updates 😁
Ah well, you guys have obviously never owned an early Mini. The engine and gearbox shared the same oil and when you changed the oil the drain plug had a longish magnet and used to come out looking like a Christmas tree with chewed up pieces of gear tree and ‘iron filings’ of generally worn mechanicals!
I would love to own one at some point, haha that doesn't sound like the best built engine...😅
Does anybody else hear Becka saying Taylee when saying the name of the boat?
Taylee is how it’s pronounced 😉
@@TeuluTribe ok I thought my ears were playing tricks on me
Wait... wheres No. 61???
Apparently Becka is still learning how to count 😅
@@TeuluTribe HEHE We love her for that.
245,000 Euros per week!!!!
Pretty crazy eh 😳
Does your STARLINK still work?
Yes, on anchor 😀
@@TeuluTribe ok sweet! I’ve heard they were going to stop it for those out at sea.
I really enjoyed stumbling across your channel & videos.
As you're approaching 50k subs maybe it's time to upgrade to some 4k HDR equipment. Given the rise in sales of huge OLED/QLED smart TV's they are all smart, cable fed 250-300mbps like mine. So many creators are doing this and I've seen their subs rise. (food for thought). 🎥⛵
Cheers, we've been thinking about this for a while now. Maybe it is about time we shoot in 4k...😊
Did you guys get the email about using Starlink in the ocean?
We sure did. It's slightly annoying that it has now changed, but it was always going to happen.
Becka looking at boat porn ,hilarious
Such a wicked boat.
I'm asking different sailing content creators when in the islands how do you get cash for fees and other expenses?
We normally have to look to see if there are ATM's on the island we are planning on going to, if not we get cash out before. I hope that answers your question.
The both of you have been students for most of your lives .. so how did you find 60k ?
Still not quite sure where 60k is coming from 🤓
@@TeuluTribe okay call it 20k
How did you manage to save so much money?
@@simonpickles3633 our boat was 38k. We worked for 2 years, 60 hours a week. That’s how we afforded it.
@@simonpickles3633 our rent was 300 a month. Our food shopping was £20 a month. We didn’t spend much and we sold most of our belongings.
I don't want to be critical, but I do think you are making a little too much of that "collision" with the cat. This is the 3rd episode (?), where we are hearing about it. I mean, there was no damage? Need to grow a thicker skin, it won't be the last time.
All of our videos recap last weeks video and give a preview to next weeks, thats all it is 🙂
Seems to me it was the rude condescending attitude of the Cat operator that was really disgusting. Fortunately the majority aren’t like that dude.
Where’s Captain Ron when you need him ?
@@greglight3745 I agree. Though there will always be a few idiots. Try not to get rattled....?
You managed to buy yourself a boat worth £60,000.00 at your age without help is a joke... no mortgage no lones !!!??
Thankfully we got her for £38k. Becka worked a full time job and did YT for a few years. I managed to land a relatively well paid job and regularly worked 60 hour weeks to get Teulu. All worth it in the end 😁
It's not a joke. It's called hard work and delayed gratification. It used to not be such a novel concept.
Give it up you sad pathetic waste of space.
So who bought the boat obviously you couldn't afford to do it the who does the boat belong to
@Simon Pickles They have more then adequately answered all your rude and boorish inquiries. I think you are a bothersome little Troll. You are the first person I have ever blocked. Congratulations!
You're so bloody rude get off the internet when you're drunk
