When you do this, there is a tolerance, it's normally around 2 or 3 thou. Aim for about the lower one third, the gauge should slip in with smooth resistance. If you do this, it helps with a overly tight setting, or equally a slightly slack one. You want them on the lower side of middle for longevity, but never under minimum recommendation. Slightly slack would be better than over tight. I'm loving all this engine stuff, sorry if I'm jumping all over the place, but the mechanics of it all, I just love to see. Real things that happen, important things that you have to do to get this ship in shape. You do more than I thought you might, so hats off Captain, I'm enjoying all this boat stuff. Love your productions Cyndi, sound is very clear, and because I'm gettin old, it makes a difference. Shots are top class as well. Again lovin it.
Just wanted to take the time to thank you VERY much for your videos! I've been binge watching them over the last few weeks, living vicariously through you. I have the dream of some day getting my own trawler or cruiser and doing the very thing you're doing, but a few things have to fall in to place before I can make the leap. Til then, I'll happily continue watching to see where you end up next. Also, I'm so glad Shel has been given the all-clear on his heart. I've had similar episodes that were extremely scary and nerve wracking, but thankfully nothing too serious. Anyway, again, thank you so much and look forward to seeing the C-Shel II get back under way!
Nothing like an old white t-shirt in the engine room to make it look like you are into something big. The more dirt Cyndi sees when I come out of the engine room the more pity she has on me. 😉
Great video guys. Good job on the valve adjustment Sheldon and Airsep install. Love the Mail time minute as always. Love the new chairs and table they look great and good job on the Teak Wood Cindi!
Can't believe you do engine work in white shirt and light colored shorts. Either the engines are super clean or you are really lucky. I'd be covered in some dirt or grease.
Great video guys, Cindy I know how time consuming doing the teak slats on the aft deck is, I took on that project thinking it will be quick and easy lol . I used Cetol Marine made by Sikkens, I did 3 coats, sanding in between each coat, took me 3 days to finish.
Seasucker, huh? I have never had any success getting suction mounts for my iPhone or iPads to work for more that a few weeks. Let me know how it works for you...I use my iPad Pro at the helm and went with a bolt-down mount. Also, thanks for the video on the 3208’s! Keep them coming..I have 3208TA’s in my SeaRay, with Airseps!!!
Great video guys. You both look so happy and healthy. I have a question regarding diesel engines. I know you cant give me a definitive answer, but how many hours should you get out of your diesel engines if they have been maintained properly as per specifications? Are marine diesels different from truck diesels (other than the cooling systems). I keep hearing people having to rebuild their engines after 4,000 and 5,000 hours! Thank you.
Thanks Mark! I'm thinking 6k to 10k out of the engines we have. Diesel engines rarely just die of old age, there is usually something that happens to them like loss of water and overheat. If rebuilding at 4 or 5k, then something happened to them. That said some higher powered diesel engines will not last as long. The rule for longevity is not to have any more than 1hp per cubic inch of engine displacement. For example, the Cummins 6BTA is 360 cubic inches and has 330 hp. That is a good ratio, and that engine has a good reputation.
We won't be going to the Bahamas until after the hurricane season. We have to fly somewhere for the height of hurricane season, but we are not sure where that is going to be yet.
Just some first hand knowledge about sea tow and Tow boat US, not sure how accurate the information is about sea tow covering the entire Bahamas,, that mite be true but I can tell you from my first hand account with being towed back from Bimini a couple of years ago that sea tow which I had a policy with as well as tow boat US , would have sent a second party tow boat to come out there to tow us back and as to when that would have happened depended entirely on when they could have found a independent tow boat to come out to get us. I was told that could be as much as a day or two. Where as Tow boat US was called and scheduled a pick up the next morning at 7:30-8:00 am👍, and it was an actual Tow Boat US boat. But by all means I can agree completely that having a tow service is a must no matter what the company for sure👍
Love your videos, guys! I clicked the link for the Seasucker and it took me to the item on Amazon USA and I was stuck... I had to go to Amazon Canada and search for the item. Do you guys still get loving’ after these steps? Do you know if it would stick to our iPad protective case?
Thanks Roger. That's nice of you. We don't share our Amazon.ca affiliate link much because it didn't get used much. You can use it for any purchases on Amazon.ca if you wish. www.amazon.ca/?tag=searchingfo0b-20&linkCode=ur1 Cheers my friend. When will we see you down here?
@@SearchingforCShels Ontario still in lockdown and marinas are closed so the boat is being held hostage until early June at the earliest. For now, we only have your videos to get us by!
Hi Armi, Below is the link to the video with the Walnut Fudge recipe which is around 21:18 and I've also added the instructions in the description - ruclips.net/video/uxcREY0IyqY/видео.html Hope you enjoy!
@@SearchingforCShels I was in Bimini last week and I saw that there were a few running around without any registration, so hopefully it’s not a problem. Thanks for your reply.
My latest weekend project of putting a metal rack system in our garage went somewhat like your mail opening. Wife : Maybe lets read the instructions. Me : Nah, I got it. Just let me get my tool belt and cordless drill. 😔 45 minutes later it became obvious I should've read the instructions. Lol. I can laugh now but my wife was hot! Why do we males have to just dive right in? 🤷♂️ And there should be a vacuum release somewhere on that suction cup.
Greetings in Christ Jesus...(I'm assuming you're believers). Are ye Newfies or Scotians? I believe I detect an east coast townie accent 🙌. Great show, just found you. Thinking about doing the very same thing but on a cat I think. Glad to see everything turned out well in the end health wise. Godspeed 🕊✝️❤🔥🔥🔥🙏🙌
Yes, it drops down at the on the same side but back behind the exhaust manifold. Then under the manifold the hose goes forward on a downward angle to the connection point.

Really appreciate your comments and tips Barry. Awesome stuff.
That’s it! Cindy I think you’re actually shel and I think Shel is actually Cindy. you can fit better in the engine room anyway😅
What I notice most about this video is that your working on the motor yourself. Good on you
Thanks Timothy.
Good for you that your blessed with free stuff and that you have that kind of loyal fans, stay safe stay loving and stay cool.
Thank you. It is nice to get gifts sometimes, but we just appreciate how nice all of our viewers are. Such a lovely community. Cheers friend!
You two have definitely jazzed up the cockpit gave it a real yachty look, we LOVE IT!
Thanks Ronald! We like it.
@17:04 right side of the screen behind Cindy is a beautiful Horizon PC65 M/Y Rabble Rouser, nice.
Indeed it is! Wonderful boat.

I was going to say you’re a braver man than I, wearing a white shirt while working on an engine. But then I kept watching.

Hahahah.... Cheers you two! Bret and Talyn.
Engine work was fantastic.
Engine room looks immaculate.
Love your new items too.
Super cool.
Thank you very much Doug! It is far from immaculate, I wish it was.
You guys looked so happy in this episode! Another wonderful video. GOD speed, JC
Thanks JC!

Thanks 👍Glad you enjoyed it!
Cheers! Nice progress, was getting worried after a few weeks went by without a video, glad you two are good and moving forward!
Thank you David.
I enjoy your vlogs. As a couple you are a relaxing classy team.... I look forward to next week:)🍸🍸🍸
Thanks so much! 😊
Just started watching, but love your channel ❤️....... From Colorado
Thanks for watching and welcome aboard Thomas! Cheers!
Love the Seasucker stuff. Have a top mount and a side mount double drink holder. Work great!
Yes, they are great products.
What is enjoy a good video from my favorite Canucks....👍🏻
Good to know about Sea-Tow, I have BoatUS, will have to change next year.
Can't believe you do engine work in white shirt and light colored shorts. Either the engines are super clean or you are really lucky. I'd be covered in some dirt or grease.
lol. White clothing tells me if I need to clean the engines more. 😀
Great video guys, Cindy I know how time consuming doing the teak slats on the aft deck is, I took on that project thinking it will be quick and easy lol . I used Cetol Marine made by Sikkens, I did 3 coats, sanding in between each coat, took me 3 days to finish.
Yes, all jobs seem to be longer and harder than we anticipate. I bet yours looks wonderful with that Cetol on it. Hope to see you guys soon.
Good didn't-know info about Sea Tow in the Bahamas.
We didn't either. 👍

Just wondering where you got the chairs from. Love them!!!
And we have been there in Stuart where you are in this video. We love Stuart, FL!
Ex valves are the most likely to become tight, that causes them to burn
You made it look so easy. Are you getting closer to a trip to the Bahamas or coming home to gan?
We won't be going to the Bahamas until after the hurricane season. We have to fly somewhere for the height of hurricane season, but we are not sure where that is going to be yet.
Hey where did you attach the return oil back into the crank case?
valve lash you do want them slightly tight.

Thanks for that account. Good to know. 👍
If they get to loose they dish out the top stem of the valve
The only guy I seen wearing white shorts and a white shirt working on their Diesel engine lol

Is the hiboy scooter legal to ride in the Bahamas, or did you have to get a license plate or register it in some way?
Legal as far as we know. No one has ever stopped us.
@@SearchingforCShels I was in Bimini last week and I saw that there were a few running around without any registration, so hopefully it’s not a problem. Thanks for your reply.
How do you like your Kanberra Gel for the smell?
Meh. It works a little, but not sure it's worth the price.

@@SearchingforCShels Yes I am, Barnes rd, years ago now...5-7min from the harbour. Happy to see you two doing so well there.
I thought the dinghy was being stolen. How stupid of me to fall for that. I will have to be smarter I guess.
lol
Where did you put the oil return line back into the engine?
There was a connection point low in the 3208 in the oil pan under the Alternator.
@@SearchingforCShels we’re you able to get the check valve vertical? When mine wraps around is angles a bit
Yes, it drops down at the on the same side but back behind the exhaust manifold. Then under the manifold the hose goes forward on a downward angle to the connection point.
