Have you had a used oil analysis done on your diesel engine?? They're low cost and they have saved me thousands of dollars several times.. after running a oil sample analysis right before planning on doing an inframe overhaul and the analysis showed that the crankshaft bearings were wearing quickly and so u instead did a out of frame or complete overhaul of the engine. If I wouldn't have removed the crankshaft it could have broken the rod and shoved it straight through the block.. I've had friends who went the cheaper route with a inframe and in a few months their block is destroyed resulting in them having to purchase a crate engine.. these are semi truck diesels and my experience..
We do have the space to do a complete overhaul without taking the engine out of the vessel. In a few days we have a professional mechanic volunteering and we will do the assessment what needs to be done together with him. But it's planned to take the oil pan off to have a look at the crankshaft. Regarding the oil analysis, what I have read about it is that this only make sense if one makes it regularly to check for differences in the samples. Do you have a different opinion on that?
@FlyingConey the oil analysis works great if done at every oil change so you can see how quickly bearings and other materials are wearing.. doing one now would still let you know what certain metal is most in your engine and that will tell you what's wearing out.. before a bearing or something goes wrong in an engine or transmission it will start leaving heavy metal in the oil.. I don't know what it costs over there but here it's pretty cheap to do. It also can back up what you hear from the mechanic or perhaps find something that was overlooked..
Cleaning out the engine room reminds me of pruning fruit trees. How much is too brutal? Will I need that? If I take that out, do I keep this? Clearly, the answer is take everything out ! Looks like real progress.
Wow, I'd love to rebuild your wash down pump. We'll be skiing in Austria over February vacation and can pick it up. Thank you so much for such a productive episode, less clutter is a good thing in a machinery space.
Have a wonderful skiing Holliday in Austria. Someone who works in a company who services pumps already offered to rebuild our pump. So good for the pump. But it would've been so nice to meet you. So just tell us when you're near Lelystad and you can have a coffee if you want.
Reciprocating saws are amazing but you were using it incorrectly. They work MUCH better if you push the foot of the saw tightly against whatever you are cutting. You want ONLY the blade to move, not the saw.
With modern saws you can adjust the foot of the saw to prevent the blade getting dull only near to the foot. With the saw we have you start with the foot pressed against the pipe but once your cutting you can move a bit to get more life out of the saw blade. Yes you loose some efficiency but cutting metal the prolonged life of the blades make up for it. Well I did watch one or two tutorials since we shot the video 😂
The pump is a strong one and produced by a company named SIHI. This type of pump is still in production and they are a bit costly. I think for someone who likes to overhaul old equipment it can be a lot of fun as well. Like the guys who fixed Tally Ho's capstan. Together with the old Perkins generator the pump is also a Flying Coney original and probably part of the ship since 1950. Currently we do have four other, more modern pumps but having the oldest one back in working condition would be great.
Good time, as far as I can see, the engine is in extremely poor condition, some of the equipment will have to be changed. I would suggest you save money, namely, completely remove the engine with gearbox from the ship and send it for complete repairs to a workshop on the shore, it will be much cheaper than do complete repairs on board...
Not really in poor condition but it's looking horrible I agree. We have the space and the equipment to overhaul the engine without taking it out. Doing so would mean at least 7 days of work and also at least 7 days of putting it in. We considered doing an engine swap but doing so would be about 5 times more expensive than overhauling the one we have. The engine is also running fine and also part of the boat since 47 years.
Not so, Daniel has already said that the engine has low hours and is very reliable. I think the issue is one of semantics when Daniel says "rebuild" I believe he is talking about "refurbishing" all of the external parts of the engine, like all the hoses which need to be replaced. Also, the engine needs a thorough maintenance, like oil and filter change and fuel filter change.
Hello from Oregon! I was curious have you reached out to DAF Trucks located in Einhoven for either partial or complete sponsorship for your engine? They may see it as an opportunity to get a lot of exposure to their product on a highly successful RUclips channel! Maybe if only supplying you with all of those hoses would be worth checking into? Great video I love seeing all of the progress you two make on the boat. Jerry
One suggestion: I have switched from using (so called) 'marine paint' to industrial paint. Half the cost and in many ways superior. . On a boat like yours that must be especially true.
We're using paint for the commercial marine industry. It's much more economical than yacht paint and also better suited. Paint is a science in itself but proper protection of the steel and a long service life is very important.
The Yaba shipyard? They couldn't haul us out and welding a riveted steel ship does need a lot of experience. Also we would need to cross the Atlantic first nothing I would like to do with Flying Coney in her current state.
I like that you share your learning curves as well, gives an honest view of what's involved in such a project. Will you replace all piping or is some of it still functional enough?
Thank you! The piping is mostly in good condition but it's no longer needed. We also want to reduce the number of tanks because we don't need about 8 000 liters capacity. Our idea is to make the engine room smaller and remove everything that is on the port side. At one point we had to make the decision if we do want to work around around all the other work arounds or if we want to start mostly from scratch. We picked the later.
I would imagine it better to have safety railings around that engine especially when it running on the water you wouldn't want to fall into moving parts in rough waters. You can always weld a small frame or railing around the engine like one inch tubing. That's just my thoughts .Good to hear you have considered rebuilding that ole deck wash pump. That thing will surely come in handy.
Glöm inte att installera luftavfuktare . Interna värme systemet tar plats , Ska ni använda er av ved eller pelletspanna till värme och varmvatten så behöver ni ca 5-8 kubik förråd för bränsle .
Dear Barbara and Daniēl, Good to see you back on board of Flying Coney and you’v really started with full power to refit the engine room. It’s wise to get rid of all the not in use equipment in the engine room because you need to get enough space for maintenance as soon as Flying Coney will be ready for sailing over the oceans. The pump you’ve shown needs an overhaul and after that the pump will work properly for years again. Unfortunately we don’t know anybody who can help you with this but WIlleke and I will do some investigations in our list of friends. Coming back to the engine room we think it might be wise to dismantle the engine from the gearbox and to left the engine a bit by press levers to clean the area down the engine properly and to paint the area white. We also think the whole machine room should be painted white because that will offer you a much more quicker view for any possible leaks of fluids in the future. We admire you both for your courage to start this huge project what’s almost as huge as Project Brupeg was and still is. We look forward to your next vlog and send you love
Thank you for keeping your eyes open for someone who would do a service at the pump. This kind of work can be fun if you like doing stuff like that. At the end of a very very long to do list there are tasks like re-painting the engine , the bilge and the whole engine room. For now removing stuff we clearly do not need anymore and getting it relatively clean must do. We are huge project Brupeg fans and at the beginning we always said if they can refit a huge boat we can refit a huge boat.
I’ve just found your site whilst surfing the net. I’m blown away by your vision for the future and for the adventures I’m sure you will experience. As an old sailor (I’m 69 years old) who has been on several tall ships and participated in a few Tall Ship races, I know you’ll have a great time especially with youngsters crewing for you. Best wishes for your future voyages. Happy Sailing.
You both are doing a great job , I understand the weather and supplies are limiting you at times , after you get the boat going think about changing your Area, there are places that boat repairs are so much cheaper and the cost of living is much less, just be careful we’re you go for supply chains and availability for parts could be very difficult in parts of the world ?
The Netherlands are a good place for structural steel work, so we do want to get the frames repaired here. But we hope to make it to Germany within this year. We also found out that Lelystad is probably worse than the rest of the Netherlands. Just a few more weeks and hopefully we can move on.
So glad to see you’re back and plan on continuing your videos. I absolutely love watching you two turning that boat into a beautiful sailing ship! Restoring that pump would be a labor of love for me but unfortunately, I’m half a world away!
For me it's amazing to see how much even small steps improve the boat by quite a bit. We just got started in the engine room but I'm sure in one month from it will be so much nicer and cleaner and hopefully the engine will be in working condition again.
@@FlyingConey It sure will for sure!!! I’ve been working on cars and restoring some for over 40 years. I’ve also been fixing up houses. I know EXACTLY what you’re going through. I think you’re doing the right thing in the engine room (clearing out the clutter first). Then you can sit back and really see what you have and prioritize what needs to be done. I would love to help if I lived closer.
Great Vid, you both certainly look like you are full off enthusiasm and are ready to get more work done, I'm sure by removing lots of the old heavy stuff you gain a lot of space and loose a lot of weight from the ship
Exactly, at the end you're paying for every bit of space on the boat. So it's preferable to get good use out of it. Not much use for a broken heater. The boat isn't really weight sensitive. We recently brought one ton of metal to the scrapyard and the waterline hasn't changed a bit. But everything we removed so far has made a difference and I do like the look with the higher freeboard.
Mir ist nicht ganz klar , was für eine Pumpe das ist , aber es sieht aus , als wäre die recht einfach zu zerlegen und überholen ( wegen dem geteilten Gehäuse ) . Vielleicht könnt Ihr die später als Bilgepumpe verwenden ! Auf dem alten Video/Film sieht es ja aus , als hätte die 'ne ordentliche Förderleistung . Und robust und zuverlässig sind die alten Geräte sowieso !
Die Pumpe ist von der Marke SiHi und wird in dieser Bauart auch noch hergestellt. Sollte sich also überholen lassen. Der Auslass an Deck ist jedenfalls für einen Feuerwehrschlauch, dementsprechend ist wohl die Förderleistung. Der kurze Clip im Video ist aber von einem anderen deutlich kleineren Fischkutter. Aber daher wissen wir, dass solche Pumpen zum Waschen der Netze verwendet werden.
Exciting times ahead for Sailing Flying Coney! With a whopping 43K views in just 8 days, it's clear that viewers are eager to see the transformation of the engine room in their 1950 trawler. The decision to overhaul and declutter is a significant step towards optimizing efficiency and functionality. Can't wait to see the progress over the next few weeks as they tackle this ambitious project. Here's to smooth sailing and smooth engines ahead! ⛵🔧 #boatrestoration #engineroomproject #sailingadventures
We're always keen on showing our project, so you're definitely welcome to visit us. Please give us a heads up by mail a few days earlier to make sure that we're at the boat. However if everything goes according to plan we will be no longer in Lelystad in May. Maybe in Harlingen or in Friesland in Germany. Well not too far away from Lelystad by car.
Gday guys i was thinking about your guard rail and I'm thinking that one made out of pipe be it steel or aluminum would look great but if its made so the tubes sit over short sections with pins to secure it will mean that when work is to be done some pins can be pulled and the guard sections can be removed in sections ie seprate sides and front so they can be put aside easy and not require tools. 50mm aluminum pipe shoul look good and strong but be light. Your doing a great job🏴☠
I applaud your enthusiasm, but you were using the recip saw right next to a union joint that you could have just unscrewed. Those don't have gaskets, so there wouldn't be any problem. Same with just taking pipes apart at compression joints. You could have also cut through the rubber coupling hoses in a couple of places super quick.
I've cuttet the pipe on both ends and takin it out in one piece. Cutting the rubber joint would've been just one more cut. It might have been possible to unscrew the union joint but from experience I know that handling the big pipe wrench in the tight engine room can also be very time consuming. In this case I was assuming that the chance that this joint can be simply unscrewed is minimal.
@@FlyingConey understandable. Hindsight is always clearer than foresight. I happen to have some pretty big pipe wrenches (and long cheater bars), so I could've gotten them apart. You can also shatter black iron pipe joints with a fist maul. You're going to throw it all away anyway, right? Unions come apart fairly easily, though. Something to keep in mind for the future. All the best!
Wochenende? Das ist doch das was die Schulkinder zwischen zwei Schulwochen haben. Schöne Erinnerungen, aber das ist ganz ganz lange her. Kann man so ein "Wochenende" auch als Erwachsener haben? Aber gerne mal vorbeikommen und mithelfen. Gemeinsam macht so ein Projekt nämlich noch viel mehr Spaß!
With respect If your worried about a small gasket that maybe made of asbestos you shouldn't even be in that engine room !! All you have to do is wet the gasket and the risk has gone away . It would be much quicker and safer to undo the flanges and the pipe work .
If we show you something like cutting out flanges instead of undoing it it's because we did a lot of research beforehand. If you think the professional guidelines are overly cautious that's up to you. Asbestos is responsible for more casualties than any other work accident combined and even small amount of fibers can cause an Asbestosis. Since every fiber that makes it into your lungs will stay there for the rest of your life each fiber increases the risk. Especially flange gaskets are risky because there is a high chance of them containing asbestos and old gaskets were used a long time after the initial ban of asbestos.
I know all about asbestos and as I said if you wet it then the fibres do not become airbourne and also NOT all asbestos is harmful . You should take a look at how its removed IE its wetted .@@FlyingConey
Barbara and Daniel i enjoyed the video i wasn't fazed by the talking at least you explained what you was doing as for the pump this is what restoration is all about keeping as close to the original as possible but you are creating a lovely space in engine room thank you for such a good video 😊😊😊
I am speechless! I have restored a few classic cars, I had boats, from 20 to 65 feet, and I can not even think of how courageous you are! Congratulations! I'm always watching your videos and admire you!
Daniel. Your reciprocating saw might be ok for removing wood, but a medium sized Band saw is the real tool you need. No more grinding pipes etc. look at the Milwaukee range as an example. 👌🏻
Interessant, was da mal als "sicher" abgenommen wurde 😮... Ihr seid schon einmalig und wenn ich noch jünger wäre, hätte ich Euch längst mal besucht und das Multitool/den Kuhfuß probiert (in memoriam 1986/Studi-Zeit uff'm Bau)😂
At least we got a little bit done. Busy weeks with the big recap video and the visit to the boat show in Germany. But now we're finally back in work mode and that feels great!
In der Werft haben wir so viel Rost an der Wasserlinie entfernt, dass das ankleben des Wasserpasses eher nach dem Motto pi mal Daumen funktioniert hat. Dafür ist sie eigentlich ganz gut gelungen. Beim nächsten haul out mache ich als erstes ein paar Markierungen mit dem Lackstift dann wird's noch besser. Ein klein wenig höher schwimmt Flying Coney jetzt schon, aber so ein bis zwei Tonnen Gewicht machen nicht wirklich einen Unterschied.
@@FlyingConey War auch mehr lustig gemeint. Bei der Verdrängung macht das nicht viel aus, auch wenn es eine Sch....-Arbeit ist, das alles heraus zu holen. Ich freue mich, wenn jemand so viel Enthusiasmus aufbringt und so ein schönes altes Schiff wieder flott macht, anstatt es als "Schrott" zu bezeichnen. Nochmal: Tolle Arbeit, macht weiter so!
Ach, ich sollte mir echt angewöhnen den Zwinkersmiley 😉 öfter zu verwenden. Der Scherz ist angekommen! Ich wollte bewusst trocken darauf reagieren und finde es selbst immer ein wenig lustig wie unbeeindruckt sich das Boot zweigt wenn man gerade ne gute Tonne vom Boot geschafft hat. Merkt man nicht wirklich 😁 Danke jedenfalls für den Kommentar.
Yes, we like Flying Coney, but you, "Barbara" is the real star...What a beauty. We love it when we can see you and you talk to us. Your voice is very soothing and relaxing...The whole marina stops, when Barbara beautiful shows up...
Please NEVER WORK WITH THE ANGLEGRINDER WHILST WEARING GLOVES again !!! for many people it may doesn't seem obvious but if the glove gets into the rotating blade it will rips off your fingers!! way worse than a cut. But very nice project i love to watch your videos ;)
Daniel, I think that unless you are prepared to pay the expensive cost of a rewind on that pump motor I think with parts availability etc it would be better to get a new pump which is probably more reliable and efficient. I know the amount of time you guys do is not representative of what’s shown in these short videos, but Daniel could I kindly suggest that you do more and talk less, it’s seems to be a rookie mistake. I love this project and your ideas are great.
The pump is made by a company called SIHI and this type of pump is still in production. Also they are quite strong but also quite expensive to buy new and parts are still available. It's also kind of one of the last bits of original equipment outdating the engine by some decades. This video is the first part of an engine room series and that explains a bit why there was so much talking. Also since we visited the boat show in Germany we had to reduce the working days on the boat. Actually it's easier for us as well if we get more work done during a week but unfortunately not always possible.
I disagree with gordonagent7037 about "doing more work and talking less". Daniel does a great job of explaining what he is doing and his thought process behind those decisions. Besides no matter what you do, there are always people in comments that think they know better than you do about any subject. To me it is best to just keep doing things your own way and not worry about what the "keyboard warriors" say or criticize you about. Just my opinion.
G'day Crew,, Good to see you back . Was a great vid ,looking forward to seeing more of the engine. Keep the metal offcuts they can be used for other things like shelves, brackets & other work . Respect...!

Welcome back You have been missed
Great video! I love to see the progress!
We're back in work mode. Can't wait to get to the engine!
I’d recommend using a key clamp style system for a replacement guard rail
Fun episode to watch. I can feel your liberation at getting the junk out of the engine room!

Exciting times ahead for Sailing Flying Coney! With a whopping 43K views in just 8 days, it's clear that viewers are eager to see the transformation of the engine room in their 1950 trawler. The decision to overhaul and declutter is a significant step towards optimizing efficiency and functionality. Can't wait to see the progress over the next few weeks as they tackle this ambitious project. Here's to smooth sailing and smooth engines ahead! ⛵🔧 #boatrestoration #engineroomproject #sailingadventures
Hello! i visit Lelystad in May, can ill see your engineroom? i had a DAF engine myself, on my Tjalk, maybe we can change our knowledge! :)
We're always keen on showing our project, so you're definitely welcome to visit us. Please give us a heads up by mail a few days earlier to make sure that we're at the boat. However if everything goes according to plan we will be no longer in Lelystad in May. Maybe in Harlingen or in Friesland in Germany. Well not too far away from Lelystad by car.
@@FlyingConey okay thank you !
Gday guys i was thinking about your guard rail and I'm thinking that one made out of pipe be it steel or aluminum would look great but if its made so the tubes sit over short sections with pins to secure it will mean that when work is to be done some pins can be pulled and the guard sections can be removed in sections ie seprate sides and front so they can be put aside easy and not require tools. 50mm aluminum pipe shoul look good and strong but be light. Your doing a great job🏴☠
I've something similar in mind. I would love to have steel ball with a brass tube / handrail. The one that was previously in place was just horrible.
@@FlyingConey I'm sure when you've finished it will be a masterpiece
I applaud your enthusiasm, but you were using the recip saw right next to a union joint that you could have just unscrewed. Those don't have gaskets, so there wouldn't be any problem. Same with just taking pipes apart at compression joints. You could have also cut through the rubber coupling hoses in a couple of places super quick.
I've cuttet the pipe on both ends and takin it out in one piece. Cutting the rubber joint would've been just one more cut. It might have been possible to unscrew the union joint but from experience I know that handling the big pipe wrench in the tight engine room can also be very time consuming. In this case I was assuming that the chance that this joint can be simply unscrewed is minimal.
@@FlyingConey understandable. Hindsight is always clearer than foresight. I happen to have some pretty big pipe wrenches (and long cheater bars), so I could've gotten them apart. You can also shatter black iron pipe joints with a fist maul. You're going to throw it all away anyway, right? Unions come apart fairly easily, though. Something to keep in mind for the future. All the best!
Aber geh, ein langes Wochenende in die Hände gespuckt und der Kahn ist wie neu. 🤭
Wochenende? Das ist doch das was die Schulkinder zwischen zwei Schulwochen haben. Schöne Erinnerungen, aber das ist ganz ganz lange her. Kann man so ein "Wochenende" auch als Erwachsener haben? Aber gerne mal vorbeikommen und mithelfen. Gemeinsam macht so ein Projekt nämlich noch viel mehr Spaß!
With respect If your worried about a small gasket that maybe made of asbestos you shouldn't even be in that engine room !! All you have to do is wet the gasket and the risk has gone away . It would be much quicker and safer to undo the flanges and the pipe work .
If we show you something like cutting out flanges instead of undoing it it's because we did a lot of research beforehand. If you think the professional guidelines are overly cautious that's up to you. Asbestos is responsible for more casualties than any other work accident combined and even small amount of fibers can cause an Asbestosis. Since every fiber that makes it into your lungs will stay there for the rest of your life each fiber increases the risk. Especially flange gaskets are risky because there is a high chance of them containing asbestos and old gaskets were used a long time after the initial ban of asbestos.
I know all about asbestos and as I said if you wet it then the fibres do not become airbourne and also NOT all asbestos is harmful . You should take a look at how its removed IE its wetted .@@FlyingConey
Barbara and Daniel i enjoyed the video i wasn't fazed by the talking at least you explained what you was doing as for the pump this is what restoration is all about keeping as close to the original as possible but you are creating a lovely space in engine room thank you for such a good video 😊😊😊
I'm happy you decided not to throw away the pump.
The restoration will be project by itself, something Hand Tool Rescue guy may be interesred in.
Luckily someone contacted us to rescue this old pump. Let's see if it can be saved.
Great video. Can't wait more engine room content.
Should give a tour of engine room
Enjoy: ruclips.net/video/013hHSSzHkk/видео.html
I am speechless! I have restored a few classic cars, I had boats, from 20 to 65 feet, and I can not even think of how courageous you are! Congratulations! I'm always watching your videos and admire you!
Daniel. Your reciprocating saw might be ok for removing wood, but a medium sized Band saw is the real tool you need. No more grinding pipes etc. look at the Milwaukee range as an example. 👌🏻
Daniel, your demolition skills have improved…
Quite a bit actually 🤣 But thank you!
that is the spirit
Nice too see you back with fresh power and enthusiasm!
Love your work, the boat is coming back to life!
What a cool boat and interesting project! Glad to have found your channel and excited to see your progress in future videos.
That pump would be a great fire pump
We actually do have a fire hose for this pump!
Glad to have you back .
Interessant, was da mal als "sicher" abgenommen wurde 😮...
Ihr seid schon einmalig und wenn ich noch jünger wäre, hätte ich Euch längst mal besucht und das Multitool/den Kuhfuß probiert (in memoriam 1986/Studi-Zeit uff'm Bau)😂
oooh back on the boat
At least we got a little bit done. Busy weeks with the big recap video and the visit to the boat show in Germany. But now we're finally back in work mode and that feels great!
The old piping could possibly be used for a new engine guard rail?
You must be getting close to the bare bones .🤯👍🎥
Thanks!
Thank you very much. What name can we write in the "Donations" section of the next video?
Thanks!
Nach der Menge an Altmetall müsst Ihr ja schon fast den Wasserpass neu streichen, der liegt ja jetzt viel zu hoch 😉
Klasse, macht weiter!
In der Werft haben wir so viel Rost an der Wasserlinie entfernt, dass das ankleben des Wasserpasses eher nach dem Motto pi mal Daumen funktioniert hat. Dafür ist sie eigentlich ganz gut gelungen. Beim nächsten haul out mache ich als erstes ein paar Markierungen mit dem Lackstift dann wird's noch besser. Ein klein wenig höher schwimmt Flying Coney jetzt schon, aber so ein bis zwei Tonnen Gewicht machen nicht wirklich einen Unterschied.
@@FlyingConey War auch mehr lustig gemeint.
Bei der Verdrängung macht das nicht viel aus, auch wenn es eine Sch....-Arbeit ist, das alles heraus zu holen.
Ich freue mich, wenn jemand so viel Enthusiasmus aufbringt und so ein schönes altes Schiff wieder flott macht, anstatt es als "Schrott" zu bezeichnen.
Nochmal: Tolle Arbeit, macht weiter so!
Ach, ich sollte mir echt angewöhnen den Zwinkersmiley 😉 öfter zu verwenden. Der Scherz ist angekommen! Ich wollte bewusst trocken darauf reagieren und finde es selbst immer ein wenig lustig wie unbeeindruckt sich das Boot zweigt wenn man gerade ne gute Tonne vom Boot geschafft hat. Merkt man nicht wirklich 😁 Danke jedenfalls für den Kommentar.
Yes, we like Flying Coney, but you, "Barbara" is the real star...What a beauty. We love it when we can see you and you talk to us. Your voice is very soothing and relaxing...The whole marina stops, when Barbara beautiful shows up...
Please NEVER WORK WITH THE ANGLEGRINDER WHILST WEARING GLOVES again !!! for many people it may doesn't seem obvious but if the glove gets into the rotating blade it will rips off your fingers!! way worse than a cut. But very nice project i love to watch your videos ;)
For the angle grinder welding gloves are part of the mandatory personal protection equipment PPE. Also the sparks are hot and can easily burn skin.
I wish that You would work at least half as much as You talk.
We work at least 10 times more than what you see in the video.
Daniel, I think that unless you are prepared to pay the expensive cost of a rewind on that pump motor I think with parts availability etc it would be better to get a new pump which is probably more reliable and efficient. I know the amount of time you guys do is not representative of what’s shown in these short videos, but Daniel could I kindly suggest that you do more and talk less, it’s seems to be a rookie mistake. I love this project and your ideas are great.
The pump is made by a company called SIHI and this type of pump is still in production. Also they are quite strong but also quite expensive to buy new and parts are still available. It's also kind of one of the last bits of original equipment outdating the engine by some decades. This video is the first part of an engine room series and that explains a bit why there was so much talking. Also since we visited the boat show in Germany we had to reduce the working days on the boat. Actually it's easier for us as well if we get more work done during a week but unfortunately not always possible.
As a counter point, I find the ratio of action to talking well balanced for the type of work underway. As always, thanks for sharing this project!
Agreed with @trikael, you need some talking or explanation. The videos are way better than the beginning. Keep it up.
I disagree with gordonagent7037 about "doing more work and talking less". Daniel does a great job of explaining what he is doing and his thought process behind those decisions. Besides no matter what you do, there are always people in comments that think they know better than you do about any subject. To me it is best to just keep doing things your own way and not worry about what the "keyboard warriors" say or criticize you about. Just my opinion.
G'day Crew,,
Good to see you back .
Was a great vid ,looking forward to seeing more of the engine.
Keep the metal offcuts they can be used for other things like shelves, brackets & other work .
Respect...!
The only way you get that rust bucket to move is by getting a couple off tug boats to tow you to the nearest scrap yard
