I just learned about the PYI PSS seals today. Thank you for the video, it seemed already difficult enough to crawl in there and you made the effort to document it! I like your idea of venting the air into the cockpit.
Well Camille deserves an extra ration of rum - what a amazing asset ;-) You too fella - I was feeling that torture around 6.28 - theres always some tight spot you just about convince yourself you can squeeze a hand - contorted, cant breathe, blood running to your head, hand going numb where some bit of junk is pinching a nerve under your armpit. Great memories - not... look forward to seeing her in the water. Cheers
Was just working on PSS I put hose clamp behind collar , twist big screwdriver behind nut and tap soft other side with hammer , had to move clamp once.
I just had to do that over again three month ago because believe it or not the prop shaft failed. The key way we used to secure the shaft to the transmission coupler failed and just broke way. Must have been a flaw in the steel. I was not happy. One little trick we came up with was to put a zinc on the inside to hold the drip less compression collar the three quarters of an inch distance. It really helped. We just left it on as a safe guard to hold the collar in place. Those four set screws on the collar never seemed all that secure to begin with. Plus an extra zinc is never going to hurt anything. Good luck. Btw your wife has a very nice rear end!!! You are probably going to Catch a bit of flack for that shot. Stay safe.
You have done a really good job of everything, and it looks like you are well and truly over boatwork. Hope nothing leaks and the improvements do all you hope.
It took us 5 weeks to get the boat back in the water because of holidays and us leaving for two weeks to home and work, I was TRULY OVER boat work indeed
This is the second PPS seal I'm looking at, the other was some pro's but I think I like your video more. Neither one of you mentioned using never seize so I'm wondering if that would help with nuts and other parts which might seize.
Nice job you two. I've got the same job ahead of me as my cutlass packing is of an unknown age and has started to leak. The timing of your video is perfect. Now, if I can just find an affordable marina to put her on the hard at here in San Diego and that allows folks to work on their boats. I trust you would know if such a thing exists? Would I save substantial yard fees by sailing there to haul out in the same place you are in? I am new at all things to do with boats, yards, systems etc... any advice is appreciated. I'm buying you each a few beers. Truth be told you inspired me to get the boat I just bought in November over to Catalina 3 times since February solo. Your committent to offering your fans (and I am a fan) something more than than just that tired RUclips music heard constantly on other channels and pretty smiles is inspiring. Thx again.
Hi guys great video i have the same set up PPS but it look 7 yr old r less but i was in high seas and engine a 4000 revs the water started coming in and scared the shite out of me as you could imagine but when i stop the engine i pumped the water out and run the engine under 2000 rev and it was ok but if you move that black bellow water spurts out would the grub screw need tighten on the solid chrome thingy?
congratulations you guys! Last time I did an old stuffing box on a Columbia 45, homicide AND suicide crossed my mind a bunch. You seem to hold up real well 😊
Hey brother, how did you end up dealing with the vent hose on the shaft seal? Did you tee it into your outgoing raw water exhaust, or just run it out of the stern by itself?
@@SailorJames cool, that's how I did mine but wasn't sure if that would work because others say to tee it into the outgoing exhaust and that to me seems like another unnecessary leak point waiting to happen! I appreciate the help and response brother! Stay safe out there man
"so, here's my wife" - shows wife looking permanently lodged in compromised position over engine. funniest thing ever. she's a trooper! would love to know how she got out and what her demeanor was after.
As usual there is way to much room to work properly. I think you can find something to put in there so that you have a little less room to work. All joking aside great job. Looking forward to the splash nest week.....
Get tid of that ribbed thru hull hose nest to your engine. that shit is thin walled and will sink your boat. Buy the flush smooth bilge hose. It's thicker smooth on both sides. Or buy the black hose.
You should thank God for having a wife willing to give you a helping hand on boat works in that way. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Stay safe.
Wow nicely done, no cussing or screaming at all...I'm impressed.
Its a constant struggle hahahaha

Installing the pss was the best thing we did during the haul out for sure
What a couple of teases you two are !!! Next week !!! The work is looking good. See you next week.
It’s hard to keep the videos at a viewer friendly length and show what we are doing :) two more episodes left in this season !

The unedited video of me fighting it for like 20 minutes in the lazarett is torture to watch, you feel me hahaha
You know what is sad is I fear once we are gone there will be no one to do the jobs that we were taught to do.

That is a great idea about the zinc! I will keep that in mind! Yeah Camille is very well equipped in the stern department 😂
What a team you two are, love it. Awesome people.
Thanks 😊 🙏🏻
This was really interesting, as it's one of our many to dos on a super long list! Thanks for sharing!
We Love ours! So nice not to have the bilge pump running constantly!
You did a great job. You are lucky to have a second pair of hands.
Yeah I don't really know how I would have managed that alone!
Hell yeah congrats guys. We will be in Ventura at the end of the summer. Looking forward to meeting you guys.
Next week 😵 your killing me smalls. Good luck my friends. Thanks for sharing.

Good job you guys. Did mine a few years ago but I had much more access😀
We are SOOOO stoked on ours!

Nice job, well done. You deserve fair winds. Greetings from Chile .
Thanks for watching! We plan on sailing in your beautiful country someday!
What a tease!
Fantastic vlog and fasinating too .
Well done both
:-D
Thanks for watching and commenting !

Our packing nut was one of my greatest enemies of my life 😂 seriously hated that thing!
Hey what size Allen key was that for collar need to brings tools tonight ?
Nice job what prop did you put on. Thanks
Get this fucking done ya boy. Good job guys your videos are great.
It felt like it would never end ! Thanks for watching!
Nice stern ;)
well done guys
Great video

Dip the boot in water (not oil) - will slide over.. Water will dry after tightening clamps.
congratulations you guys! Last time I did an old stuffing box on a Columbia 45, homicide AND suicide crossed my mind a bunch. You seem to hold up real well 😊
Oh I can understand that, if I posted the “slow tv” version it would be about two hours of me cursing
@@SailorJames no doubt 🤣
Hey brother, how did you end up dealing with the vent hose on the shaft seal? Did you tee it into your outgoing raw water exhaust, or just run it out of the stern by itself?
I just have the vent hose mounted inside the aft locker above the waterline
@@SailorJames cool, that's how I did mine but wasn't sure if that would work because others say to tee it into the outgoing exhaust and that to me seems like another unnecessary leak point waiting to happen! I appreciate the help and response brother! Stay safe out there man
Awsome guys you could of used a slit please off PVC tube cut to the length you needed clamped over the shaft to hold the 3/4 you needed
That’s a good idea, we will would have had to compress the bellows but might have helped on the lock down
That was a tight spot. Now. Water.
Always wanted to know what everything was called and how all the pieces fit.
"so, here's my wife" - shows wife looking permanently lodged in compromised position over engine. funniest thing ever. she's a trooper! would love to know how she got out and what her demeanor was after.
She is always happy and in good spirits !
That's awesome. Great videos.

Sister that shit has been perfectly fine for 12k miles from Los Angeles to Indonesia
