I can’t believe it’s been 4 years since you installed the a/c!!! I remember watching those videos and thinking you would be replacing that unit every 6mo with the vibrations and salt but good deal I’m glad it’s worked out!!!
hello cap. yes is the way i position the ac the farthest as possible to the back of the cabin so has less impacts i thought of that wen i installed it but 159$ divided by 4 that is $ 40 per year to have ac in my boat that is cheap and i think i can run it for 4 more years cap, thanks for your comment cap.
Hello Capt.👋🏼 What a great voyage you have been on! The Crooked Pilothouse has done you proud👌🏼 There will always be the doubters Capt. I’ve watched you build that boat and rebuild the boat, no doubts from me! Thank you for continuing to share with us, you are much appreciated!!👍🏼👍🏼 God bless to You and Yours🙏🏼🙏🏼
Captain don’t worry about what the haters say. One thing the heaters can’t do, what you do or even come close to it. Heaters are like but holes every one has one lol. Keep up all that great work Safe Navigating
Great trip captain yes your investment of $150 on the AC have paid out big time… your boat has been rigged beautiful by your self with AC ice maker, fridge electronics etc. you most be very proud of your little vessel. Thank again for your videos
Hi Capt... another great video... You ARE an exceptional engineer with the items you installed on your boat and truck. I remember all the 'nay-sayers' telling you how your air-conditioner would not work on the boat, or would not last long. There were also a lot of 'nay-sayers', on your Mercedes channel saying how the air conditioner you rigged there would not work; yet it did. And, that too was an engineering marvel! ☺
Thanks 👍Andrew you are a long time viewer and you remember those comments , i remember all those Nay-Sayers but is this is Proof , thanks cap for your long time support 👍👍👨✈️⚓
Man I had my doubts when you put that ac unit in but you pulled it off and did a great job engineering it with great savings. Air conditioned cabin is awesome. Good job Capt!
Beyond the entertainment and safety value of your boating experiences that you share are the cooking aspects. I have learned some handy tricks and recipes from your videos.
Thank you Frank I really appreciate your support captain and I'm glad you have learned a couple of things and I am always learning myself too captain so we learn from each other thanks for watching and have an awesome night captain
Love the way you shout "prop clear" even if your by yourself in the middle of the ocean. Why? Developing safe habits assures you do the right thing for the one time you need to, not the 1000 times you don't need it.
Trigger fish is delicious captain !!! Don’t throw them back, the colorful one you Caught is a queen triger fish and those u can’t catch. Grey triggerfish (no colors) need to be 12” with a bag limit of 10. Thank you for sharing you adventures
Thank you captain really appreciate the information but I thought those colorful triggerfish they had to be kept I have to be kept alive when you harvest them they have some crazy rules that's why I threw it away But I need to figure out a 100% if you can't keep those or not because I was a little confused thanks for the awesome information captain
You are right captain I just checked the rules and assess that you can keep it you can keep it it looks like the rules was update not too long ago thanks for the heads up
The adventure continues! I thought when you left the DT you would go home. Sweet! Wish I could take that much time off. The wife would not be happy. Then again, if im bringing all that grouper home she may say stay awhile. Lol. Nice vid.
Been awhile, Capt.. life gets busy. Good to see you. I know you see million $ boats all the time, but no one is living better than you in 21’, or 210’. That’s my opinion. Of course, I’m a simple man.
yes i do all the time cap. and not only that they need a crew of many to operate , the simple thing in life are best enjoy thats why i dont get a lager boat there is no need to have a great time, we think alike cap, thanks for watching cap.👍👍
Great install. As I recall, you purchased a second A/C unit just like it just in case you weren't able to get the exact same size unit for your replacement. Nice breakfast, Cap.
i told you in the past? and yes i keep another in my garage just in case i cant find the same one so that way i don't need to make more modifications 👍😁⚓
what a Trip Capt..sorry for late watching your channel ..Greeting from Indonesia...My son Got a Covid now ..11 left in his class from 26 students..In Indonesia Covid playground is in School..
Wow sorry to hear that captain I hope he gets better soon soon and no worries I know you're busy but you always remember to come back to the channel you're awesome member of this channel and you're very appreciated it thank you for watching captain And again hope you and your family are safe and healthy🤗👍
Great trip Capitan! How about a video detailing some of the planning, preparation, and safety equipment you carry for a trip like this? The wife and I would like to make a trip to dry tortugas but it's intimidating having never been that far out. Keep the great videos coming!
Thanks for the idea! cap thanks for the idea, i have done some information in some of my videos but yes i may do one like you said in the future ,for now look at some of my older videos you may find some useful information cap. thanks for watching cap.
Thank you captain I was doing one hand and then the other hand's stirring the boat but but on the next video I have a little surprise for a new equipment hopefully this will help me do a better video thanks for watching captain
@@OutOnTheReef Yes that is why I am congratulating you because as a fellow youtuber and drone pilot know the work it took to pull the shot off. Oh oh upgrade time.
@@OutOnTheReef Weill be on the look out for it I have one more video to watch till im caught up been editing a big video for Monday next week just finished this one today
Good vid Capt Crooked you start fishing wrecks there is 7 mile bridge rubble from mouth of rr bridge 9.3 miles 116° and 200 ft there’s that rubble and another one 7.7 miles 198° 150 ft to 200 more piles of rubble they don’t show many wrecks at Bahia Honda area JT 🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️🩹🐟🐠🎣🛥
Love all your videos. Own a similar sized boat in New England and am inspired on your adventures. You need to give up the witness protection program unless you actually are in the program! Your subscribers will triple. Just a little hard to watch all the time with the mask on. JMHO. Cheers!
thanks John for watching from beautiful England and about the mask i just like to keep my private life private but thanks for your recommendation i know you mean well cap👍⚓
I’ve been struggling to find an AC solution for the cabin on my 2810. There’s limited space in the compartments underneath the berth cushions and no cabinetry/storage like you have in the pilot house. Probably marine options which would fit but $2k like you mentioned plus additional hardware and more holes in the hull. Been considering the portable battery powered options like the zerobreeze and eco flow wave, but those are $2k plus with batteries as well and I have a hard time believing those will stand up to the salt. Even if they’re kept inside, the intake has to be routed out of the cabin so it is drawing in that salt air. You’re a brilliant guy if you have any ideas or recommendations I’m all ears!
the ideal place to install a unit is midship or more to the rear of the boat because the pounding of the seas will do damage to the unit specially in the berth if is in forward of the boat, but to make my unit work it took me 30 days of thinking to come up with a great solution, my advice go to your boat and start making ideas , like i did sometimes i was hrs in my boat thinking, you can do it cap.👍
For less than $1,000 you can get an RV roof top unit and mount it on the roof of the cabin. Also you can get a MUCH higher BTU unit that way. My Parker dealer in Bonita Spring,Fl has done this.
@@exoticflorida2360 Bonita Boat Center, Bonita Springs. They gotta cut holes in the roof of the boat, and it will affect your bridge clearance. I am guessing between the cost of the A/C unit and installation it will run $2,000. MarinAire, Miami, has a TINY 9,000 btu unit for about $1,700 plus the water pump and installation (probably $3,000 when you are done. It is so small you could mount it on a bench seat near a bulkhead. I have seen them many times at the local boat showa. Adapt the waste holding tank underwater discharge valve to become the intake for the A/C. (You can't use it anyway unless you are miles offshore.) Then you only need one above the waterline new hole for discharge for the A/C. I have a Parker 2510 with a cuddy cabin I put a 6,000 btu window unit in a plywood box I made, attached two 6" ducts. I have a in-line 6" fan mounted to the top of the box. Intake is a port side porthole with a custom make wooden mounting and a hvac duct.(I remove it and close the port hole when not using it). Exhaust is through the bulkhead on one side blowing into a recess cup holder area on the port side. The whole thing sits in the berth area up against the bulkhead, on the cushion. A drain tube I installed goes to the drain in the cabin floor. I have no windows in my small cuddy cabin. With all that glass in your cabin (without ceramic tinting it) I would go way higher than 6,000 btu. Look at a Jeanneau 895 cabin boat. The A/C they offer BARELY works according to the dealer. He was gonna recommend every boat sold with AC get a light ceramic tint on all the glass.
I like the "Efficiency" approach you take to boating. Marine specific equipment is 5X $'s at least because they know Boaters "Have Money" let's get it! Well done. Question: Are you truly "Blind Fishing"? Meaning ... Not going to a "Marked fishing spot" that you knew before? Was this first time finding at this spot?
And your generator runs the air conditioning with no problem? And I guess you’re only running the air-conditioning off the generator no microwaves or hot plates or anything like that?
