- SEASON 6 / The Haul Out : Episode #122 : Getting the shaft.... out
Hello Friends,
On this weeks episode we hire the Ventura Harbor Boat Yard to help us pull out our prop shaft so we can change the cutlass bearing and remove my archnemesis THE PACKING NUT.
BUT FIRST!!!!!! Our high-water alarm goes off due to heavy rains and all the plumbing on the boat being removed for the new seacocks to go in 😂
The Yard sent Ernie over (We love this guy, super funny and super smart) and he applied MAP gas to the shaft coupler and kept working it with a slide hammer until we finally got it free and out of the boat.
then came a shocking discovery.....

By doing this haul out and all the repairs you will know what the quality of the work will be by doing it yourself. Great job.
Absolutely! Every time I am on the boat now and see all the new seacocks we installed I smile and feel at peace knowing everything has been replaced!
The sight of that glob of sealant and bung almost made me heave.
Glad you took the time to "explore"!
So gross!!!
I believe on A30 the cutlass bearing housing is supposed to unscrew from the stern tube. However, it looks like the original stern tube wasn't secure by too much. It lasted 50+ years...time to make her new and better! Job well done
That was not the original stern tube, it was a cutlass bearing welded onto a bronze plate
Loving to see the progress!
After seeing that crap , i'd give that boat a fine tooth inspection 😯👍👍🇺🇸
Fixing that is going to be a big job. Good luck and best wishes. Stay safe.
Big and Expensive!
Awesome 😎
🤙
I give you mad props. I watched all your videos this weekend and was impressed how you did all the work on boat. And even when you didnt know how to do something you still did it. Like the videos keep up the good job guys.
Thanks for binge watching the videos William. I love learning new stuff so if there is a problem I have I usually turn to RUclips for tutorials or tips on fixing things. Its one of the main reasons I do the How To/Project videos because I feel like I need to give back to the RUclips community for all its given me over the years. also thanks @Crazyirish_ for the shoutout about my book !
🙏
🤘!!
Yo Captain, The sunset beach photo's are killer and I'll give you a "2.5" for the flip on the sand ...LOL Txs for sharing...
hahaha, I do my best
That's is scary, luckily you didn't sink.😇
Oh for sure! and the thing about that scary little plug is that I would have NEVER figured out where the water was coming in from because it was in such a strange spot. I would have thought it was from the prop shaft.
@@SailorJames you would never have found that .??? its mad and super scary thinking wheres the water coming from cant be the sharft or housing or wtf ??? its crazy ..so happy you found it ??? think you need to check all over before you go back in the blue xxx
miss you guys hope your well and safe . .. love the channel its the best .. but i miss the sailing ? and yes the what can you say the openess the good life xx take care xx

Great channel. But shocked to see what that, "Yard Hack" did to your gearbox whilst trying to remove the shaft. For others in the same boat, never ever use a slide hammer on the shaft as it will damage the gearbox races or bearings as they were not designed to deal with those lateral loads, caused when the hammer comes to an abrupt stop. It may not be immediately noticeable but it will be damaged and will present at sometime in the future. Either use the correct tool for the job such as a coupling press or cut the shaft and replace with new. Alternatively if accessible cut the coupling with an angle grinder on two sides and break free with a chisel. The coupling should be replaced as a matter of course anyway, as it's in "interference fit" and really one time use.
One of the best DIY marine websites says the same tihng:
"WARNING: NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER use a “Slide Hammer” to remove a shaft from a coupling if the coupling is attached to the gear box. If you want to throw 3k out the window feel free to use a slide hammer, if not, use proper procedures for removing the shaft from the coupling such as a coupling press tool."

Takes a gifted sailor to ‘sink’ on the hard.
I am a man who cherishes experience hahahaha
🙌🙌😙😙
😵
There's a tool that uses electricity to spot heat stuck bolts and such very quickly without the risk of damage to nearby components like a blowtorch causes.
It also does its thing in seconds.
Whoa that’s awesome!
@@SailorJames The bad news is that it's expensive.
My father works in a repair shop and they bought one of those for removing stuff on trucks and it took a multi hour job sometimes and reduced it to something that took seconds.
The bolt is spent after that though and it can't be reused as it loses a lot of strength.
@@SailorJames It's called an induction heater.
A TEAK OR WOODEN PLUG WILL SWELL WHEN WET SO IT SHOULD NEVER LEAK ...BUT ONCE ON THE HARD IT WOULD DRY OUT AND LOOK BAD .....JUST AN OLD WAY OF MAKING A BOAT ....
very good point!
