    It appears that the rubber in the channel is supposed to be holding it up and isolating the covers from the vibration of the engine, not the fiberglass lip. Maybe replacing the rubber will solve the problem.

      Yep, not supposed to be on the lip. A good high density foam rubber should do the trick. It looks like someone used a low density rubber to replace and it isn't substantial enough to support the weight.

    1. I run silicone hoses in an electrolisis cell that uses salt and other stuff, and they have absolutely no problem with salt.
    2. Buy some modern alternators, you can find 100 amps alternators for 100 euro from some crappy vw golfs.
    3. The engine doors should not touch that lip. The rubber seal is the support.
    4. Good luck!

    I think those are flame arresters. They should have a steel dust filter on the inside.
    It is used for marine engines in an enclosed space to stop a flame from coming up the intake and igniting engine room gasses. It is a big deal on gas powered boats, and is required by law in Canada and the USA.
    The thing to do with them is to wash them with carb cleaner each year.

  • @snocrushr
    @snocrushr 6 месяцев назад +23

    Interesting video 👍 2 points the alternator you installed is not a marine alternator as marine units have spark arrestor screens on all ventilation openings which helps prevent volatile vapours in the bilge from being ignited. Second is you need to oil your foam air filters as the oil dispersed throughout the foam is what traps the dirt and with no oil on the foam it is useless in filtering the intake air. Not just a keyboard mechanic here but a retired certified marine mechanic .

      I worked for a Caterpillar dealer here in Canada for many years. Cat did not use any oil bath style air filters except maybe a few very early engines and what were called oil bath air filters. Mainly two element (inner/outer) paper or large panel style like on the big 6.25" bore engines.

      Oiled foam filters are very good with low air restriction. But you must use the correct oil and entirely cover the filter element with just enough oil. To much oil clogs the filter.

    Simone, Those foam intakes are a bad idea, diesels suck a lot harder than petrol engines and you risk will sucking the foam filter into the engines.
    You could put foam over the outside original holes BUT
    Marine diesel don’t usually use a lot of filtering as there is not a lot of dust out at sea . It also cuts down the power too.
    Check out the huge filters on large truck diesels they are designed not to suck in.
    Never hear of silicone hoses having a problem on marine diesels on the salt water side , obviously on the ‘antifreeze’ side no issues there.

    Great vlog guys. Just to add my two pennys worth. The cans I suspect are flame protectors as others have suggested. There should be no pebbles / sand getting into the engine hold especially if the lid seals are replaced. If paper filters were fitted it wouldn’t take long for damp air to block them and be sucked into the engine. Nice boat though, roll on summer. Stay well.

    Another anchor suggestion; attach (bolt) the chain to the fluke end of the anchor. You may need to drill it - I couldn't see if there's a hole there already. Then attach the chain to the other end, where it is presently bolted, with cable ties or something similar. The anchor will then function normally but, if it becomes stuck, the cable ties will fail and the anchor can be pulled out backwards. You could also investigate the use of an Alderney ring to reduce stresses on the line.

  • @CanandianPeriod
    @CanandianPeriod 6 месяцев назад +9

    Definitely replace those simple can air filters. All it would take is a tiny pebble to get sucked in and it could damaged the turbocharger fins and that would be a very expensive repair. Now I would definitely replace all the engine hoses with blue silicon hose. Have used silicon hoses on many diesel marine engines. They do last and don't get hard like normal rubber hose.

    Those filters you put on will not hold up on the diesels when under full throttle, a diesel engine pulls alot more air than a gas. It takes over 500 lbs of compression on a diesel engine to make it fire the fuel, more compression more suction, get some filters made for your engines or filer the air that is coming into the engine compartment

    • @bryand1958

      Your engine blowers should pull air into the compartment. On my American single engined 4.2Litre Diesel powered cruiser, 2 of 3 blowers suck air in on the Port side and 1 of 3 push the air out on the Starboard side. More air in for the Diesel Turbo.

    As previously mentioned, the rubber should be giving the floor panel support buy has gone all soft and squidgy over time. Some very thin stainless over the edge might stop future wear.

    Usually boats that size don't want top end, but want to get out of the hole quickly, just see what the stock propeller is and adjust accordingly?

    Just fyi, Naptha will take the tape residue off quickly and easily. It won't harm the finish either. Been using it for that purpose on furniture, as well as pretty much anything else, for 38 years.

    It's dropped down because the seals have degraded and compressed, the wear on the cover and the lip is an effect, not a cause. You need to replace the seals in the deck opening. You don't want to lift the covers out of contact with the seals or if you get blue water in the cockpit it will flow into the engine compartment.

    it must be a balancing act with the three boats, but I for one am glad you have the three, Sarinda is going to be a fantastic craft but you need quality time for recreation as time ticks by, or you will bog yourselves down, the other boats need work but at least on a nice day you can go fishing or explore the coast or just anchor out in the bay with a hot bevvy.

    Isn't that gasket for engine cover supposed to help hold it up? Looks worn out and compressed on screen

    Hoses on marine engines that carry sea water are normally of a type called “steam” hose. Extra heavy. For the fresh water cooling water silicone hose should be fine.
    Air filters are normally not installed on marine engines because there is very little dust to be ingested. No real harm in fitting an air filter as long as it doesn’t obstruct airflow too much

    Simon, Simon, Simon....... your engine covers should rest only on the rubber seals, there should be no GRP contact. The fibreglass you've repaired represents a point load.. Your floor load should be evenly distributed across the rubber seals, it will then isolate vibration, engine gases and noise. It will also level up your floors. Suggest you measure the difference needed and form up using bonded and layered hard and soft rubber mix, to improve on the original spec.

    The Fishing. You should really drift along with the tide, you’ve much more chance of hitting on some fish, if you anchor and catch nothing instantly then you’re very unlikely fish will come to you. A very weak tide isn’t great for fishing and neither is a strong tide. Good luck next time!👍🏻

    Could you also put some more rubber seal in the grove where it has been compressed to raise the panels up a bit
