Could you tell me what kind of flexible coupling you used on de propshaft George, and why you chose this particular setup? I am really learning a lot from you, excellent work!
That’s an R&D coupling, it’s pretty rigid tbh and not a way to get away with poor alignment so that still needs to be spot on but given that a 2GM like this can bounce around a bit at idle it’s not a bad idea to have one in there.
Owner wants mostly B&G and preordered it but the Raymarine Evo pilot is better that the b&g offering as it doesn’t need a rudder reference to work (the b&g does and that’s not easy to overcome on a tiller steered boat like this). There is a raymarine ais as it makes cabling easier due to it being a combined splitter and ais rather that two separate units (cheaper too). It all runs seamlessly together over nmea2k/stng having done this before so should be the best of both worlds.
@@normanboyes4983I have no aversion to a rudder ref, I would rather have one fitted than not but it’s not easy on a tiller steered boat with an above deck/cockpit mounted ram.
Let’s hope the owners don’t find out, thankfully the incidence of orca interactions has been dropping I believe as skippers are getting better at avoiding the areas were they are congregating (and better tracking if the orcas).
Indeed, that is the correct translation for my friends in Southern-Canada. Suspenders are something a little different over here and look rather lovely on a female companion.
The boat butler does such a clean job. Hope this helps many to give it some thought before one does. Hats off to the butler.
Love the work, particularly the care to telling a story through editing and subjects per video. Editing takes AGES and the time is appreciated.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Super interesting.
George, every video you make is a "Chef's Kiss" experience. Thank you for your greatness!
Thanks for the kind comment
Ooohhhh gloryous sanding!!!!! 😁😁🤣🤣
Oh, come on.
That's Mads' signature line! 😄
@@ELCADAROSA yes, I know!
That's the point! 😉😂🤣
Always enjoy this channel, lottie is really coming together
Thanks, yes we are getting there. In the water soon I hope!
I used George's discount code to get a Sterling B2B charger. Stupendous quality, I'm super happy with it.
Great, pleased that you were able to benefit from it
How much clearance do you leave between the bearing and the shaft? Thanks for good Episode!
Interesting stuff George, the boat is looking great.
🍺 in the post.
Many thanks, it’s appreciated!
Another fine episode, she's looking lovely. Can't wait for the winch update, love a good winch.

Wow, if they ever made a boat porn magazine that engine bildge might be a centerfold. 🤣
Why mix B&G with Raymarine? Is B&G better for charting and instruments and Raymarine for tiller pilot? Just curious about the reasoning...

@@RefitandSail I have a tiller steered boat with a fairly new Raymarine tiller pilot too. Thanks for your input, I may do the same then.
@@RefitandSailwhat’s the aversion to fitting rudder reference?

I wonder how well that rudder will stand up against Spanish Orcas ... perhaps something foul tasting might help.

The Orcas have a distinct taste for spade rudders. They snap off so much more easily than those chewy skeg rudders.
34:09 I assume that "belt and braces" translates to "belt and suspenders" ... yet another transatlantic point of confusion.

Belt suspenders keeps the plumbers crack from showing up. That’s a fact. Lol
