    Those little islands are the final nail in the coffin regarding my theory of shoddy workmanship from when the boat was "fixed" back then. Good that you're fixing things right this time.

    • @SailLife
      @SailLife  8 лет назад +1

      I've been thinking a lot about the yard that did the first osmosis treatment. Leaving the thru hulls in and the way they didn't properly wet out the new layers of fiberglass on the forward 1/3 of the hull. Also, there are a few issues I haven't shown on video. I'm not impressed with their work! But then again I don't know the whole story so I properly shouldn't judge them too harshly :)

    Let's see...Mads, a fluffy dog, a boat, and a retro-fit underway. Doesn't get much better than that on RUclips for me. Best of luck and Godspeed getting the new boat ready for the water again. Cheers!

    Thanks for all the good tips on thru hulls and sanding inside corners. One tip I have is that some outfit makes plastic clamps that clamp onto the edge of the tarp and have a thumb screw. They come in packs of 4 and are pretty inexpensive. They work great.

    As I've been planning a refit of my recently purchased Allmand 31, I've been watching videos related to this subject. Even before your guest spot on "Sailing Nervous", I've been a subscriber and avid watcher. Thanks for your product-specific instructions and technical info. Also, thanks for explaining why you're so meticulous. You have encouraged me to be more vigilant and purposeful in my repairs. My boat (Now Or Never) is on the hard in Carrabelle, Fl. Planned relaunch very late this year with interior work continuing thru early spring.

    An extra point for the reference to SV Seeker, I hope to meet you one day on the ocean, although my live aboard is a converted bunker boat ( ms Reana ) from 1929 without any sails, and I have not started with the videos, but all in due time :-)

    another great video Mads, you are too much a perfectionist, it was great and in my book even wind noise can be accepted when talking about boats... I have used those discs as well but the ones you can fit to an angle grinder, they are superb for all sorts of jobs and not as aggressive as some methods. Guess you now have a fishy head after Yukol licked you...my dogs loves those type of fishy treats too but boy they do smell... The reminder that thru hulls don't last forever is timely as my Rival 32 has some of the older style Blakes seacocks and one certainly needs looking at as the wooden pad seems like it is on the way out...Look forward to the next instalment. Regards Andy

  • @pierremitham2964
    @pierremitham2964 8 лет назад

    looking at those seacocks. I'd replace them all (I know its expensive, but now is the time to decide if there are any you can do without!!) some of them aren't proper seacocks anyway! The first 2 (At 7:05) aren't even seacocks, they're just ball valves. the threads are incompatible with the actual thruhull. I'm in the middle of an extensive refit also and went from 21 seacocks (all old and worn out) to only 6 thruhulls!! less chances for leaks that can sink the boat!

    I'm curious about his name. Is it a typical Danish dog name? I guess in the US there used to be typical dog names, like "Spot" or "Rover", but those are not in style anymore. Now I think we just pick names that sound cute.

    Say Mads. Long time first time. I live aboard my 1980 Hunter 36 in Seattle. Commenting here because it's through hull related. Seen all your videos and am gearing up to maybe actually try my hand at some of the projects they've given me ideas about. Hoping you or some other viewer will have some thoughts or point me to some other discussion on this topic:
    I'm wondering if anyone has ever seen anyone discussing using any kind of double hull system in place of traditional below the water line seacocks. I can imagine many possible versions. But the most elegant would seem to me to involve an integral tube (say tubular fiberglass) running from the below water "thru hull" up the side of the hull well above the water line. You would fully encase it in glass making the whole itself, and the tube totally integral to the hull, at the full thickness of the original hull, not just tabbed. At the top would be some kind of seacock arrangement (though I would also entertain ideas about not even needing a valve in some cases considering it's above the water line). This would not work for everything, a sink drain for example, but anything that you are already going to be looping about the waterline would seem to be applicable.
    Possible drawbacks:
    Limited access/replacement of integral tube. I think this is negligible if you make sure it's designed in such a way that you can push something through it. Maintenance could be very easy if clogged, you can remove seacock while in the water, and push a snake, brush, or rod down the strait tube right out the hull, clearing any blockage. Otherwise it's permanent.
    Hope this description makes sense. Does anyone do this? Is this discussed anywhere? Anyone have any thoughts?

    • @MrGregRyan
      @MrGregRyan 4 года назад

      Winterization. A probable drawback I had not concidered is being unable to clear the bottom of the tube of water, which could freeze. Is this why this is not a thing?

      Just wondering, that 3M foam grinder you used on the boat hull looked like it worked awesome. I am trying to remove some rust on a car surface. Looks like it would work well. Can you please the model number of that grinder disk...it was blue I think. I think it would really help me. Thank you for all your wonderful videos. We just love them.

  • @jeads21
    @jeads21 8 лет назад +1

    You always do a great job even with the wind noise. Once you have all the thru-hulls out it would be a good idea to find either soft wooden plugs or the more expensive nerf plugs(not the real name but they are made like a Nerf football, American football that is) to mount near each thru-hull and do some practicing /fitting of the plugs for those hard to get at places. It's better to do this now then when fighting an inrush of cold water.

    • @SailLife
      @SailLife  8 лет назад

      Thank you so much :) The previous owner did the very same thing :) I think one of the wooden plugs even made it into the video :)

    Have you considered closing up some of the thru hulls altogether? Nine seems a lot, I can't even easily think of uses for them... coolant water in and exhaust out, maybe two bilge pump outlets? Black water out, grey water out and perhaps in, a depth sounder, and a log?

    Hello,
    I’m curious about the arrangement you have to store and work on your boats. I’m envious you have the time and space to go through all of these necessary projects. I have a 1976 Ranger 33 in California and dread the idea of hauling out to a boatyard and bankrupting the project. I need repowering, bottem job, thru hulls, and who knows what else! Thanks for the education.

    no coring in your hull at least below the water line,I see your hull is 3quarter inch you could put a couple layers of glass below the water line sand then fair it out

    Have you any issues with water ingress through the teak deck fasteners into the deck sandwich? (I worry about this for boats screwed teak decks of ~15+ years old, particularly if balsa cored). Skpr Froo
