    My cousin sold this trawler to the current owners, he was fishing it mostly solo around Wiseman's Ferry and had it tied up at the back of a property at Laughton Dale. He watched the video with me yesterday and was both excited and sad to see it, he had just spent $10k on that motor before he sold it. I fished on it a few times and had a great time. It was hard work loading up all the eskys full of ice onto the ute and then back onto the ute at the end of the day with ice and prawns. Most of the prawns are sold as bait to tackle shops.

    Great video. Very practical.
    Agree with the steps you followed for initial preservation.
    Brought back memories of our boat.. engine room flooded (twin Cummins), got them running again but gearboxes failed after a few weeks of running. We could never get all the water out of the gearbox oil, even after multiple oil changes (our gearbox drain plug was not accessible, so had to vacuum it out and could never get all of it out). In hindsight should have pulled the gearboxes off to drain them properly, but thought we got away with it.. We didn’t!

    • @DangarMarine
      @DangarMarine  2 года назад +1

      Ah, I think we all have that optimism that it is going to be okay, particularly when removing the gearboxes and stripping them down is such a large and expensive job. It is suprising though that the water didn't get emulsify the oil and get removed with subsequent oil changes. I wonder whether some alcohol in the gearboxes would have helped remove it?

    From my experience with outboards, the rule of thumb was, if you can't work on it right away, you might as well leave it submerged until you can. I have ,personally, sunk a 120 Johnson and a 455ci Pontiac. Both were re-habilitated, although the Pontiac required the use of a"pig' to pressure flush the oil galleries.

    • @DangarMarine
      @DangarMarine  2 года назад +3

      Yep, definitely better to leave it submerged until you are ready to work on it.

    All you can do is keep a positive attitude and knock off the project bit by bit. Then go find Stu!
    !It really is heartening to see the community supporting the salvage. We of the sunken boat community couldn’t possibly recover our boats alone. The skill base that exists amongst fellow boaties and their willingness to be part of the solution is humbling. Island living brings out some characters and spades of community spirit, especially when Mother Nature has a hissy fit. Cheers to the Dangar River salvage masters.

    I agree flushing a motor with fresh water just feels wrong, but its a must. I've never salvaged any large boats but I have unsunk quite a few small boats with outboards, its never fun. One of my old boats had a Kenwood CD player in it that survived salt water sinking while still attached to the battery. That was miraculous!

    • @DangarMarine

    My dad served in WW2. When he got to San Diego and told which dock to report to. Upon arrival there was no boat. It had sat for so long it had sank at the dock. Prop shaft seal. They raised it, repaired it and first trip was Pearl Harbor. In a yard tug.

    If you don't have time to get a submerged engine running straight away, pump it full of fresh water, like till it is overflowing out of every breather for 5 minutes and leave it full of fresh water.
    Another good trick I have used is filling submerged engines with alcohol after draining the fresh water from the rinse. Helps draw moisture out and won't hurt anything on start up.
    Also, you can't ever have big enough bilge pumps. When buying, go big and make sure you have the battery storage to keep them running for days if needed.

      @@DangarMarine Pumps buy you time alright. Especially when the vessel is docked. When my plywood Pelin slammed into a chunk of pine at 30 knots, the bilge pumps were useless and she sunk in 5 minutes, ample time to cut myself loose from the rope and fishing line, and hooks and rods that had managed to tie me to the boat. I had a few seconds left to retrieve a life jacket and put it on. My comms were toast, so there was little left to do other than get into the water and wait for a passing vessel. I now wear a life jacket whenever on the boat, it has a waterproof handheld radio and flares attached. I now have an EPIRB. Anyway guys, Finding your boat submerged is never good, though it was a small mercy she was tied to the wharf.

    @krissfemmpaws1029 2 года назад +4

    Good job, I've done a few sunk boat/outboard repairs too.
    I was working at a shop so it wasn't uncommon for the owner to try and "fix it" before I got the boat or outboard. A number of times the owner had flushed the engine with diesel fuel after they had been dunked in saltwater... I asked them why didn't they flush it with freshwater? Some of the answers I got were mind boggling.
    I told them the water was not the issue it's the salt and silt in the water that is the issue and the oil they washed out of the bearings with the diesel was the only thing protecting the bearings from the salt and water.
    We had a dunktank for small outboards that we used an OMC corrosion inhibitor added to the water when we were flushing the motors. Something like Salt-Away.

    • @DangarMarine

    I've got a 4BT in my trailer boat. They definitely worth keeping. Sweet boat. Great job! Be sure to check the oil in the injector pump. The Cummins uses engine oil from the engine oil pump but not all of my boats do... 2B toyota has a separate oil system for the injector pump. There is often condensation under the tapit covers, a decent run will sort that out.

    Daisy said Stu needs a haircut. Hee hee. Watched a salvage on a sunken house boat at a marina. They used lift bags to get the boat above the gunnels then ran three pumps to push water out faster than it was coming in. Was an inboard/outdrive and the boot on the out drive had developed a leak. The bilge kept up with the leak until the battery died then down she went.

    Another important thing to do after a gentle run is to change the oil and filters. No matter how good you are there is always some moisture mix left somewhere. If you can use an absorbent and detergent oil then change again. Following that put in a zinc additive to oil, as many modern oils no longer have zinc.
    He may have to run a pre water filter for fuel ( clear thingys).
    Now about that solar issues…after careful inspection of that picture Adrian needs three more panels!

    Well done team, great video Stu with lots of useful tips as always. Why did she sink in the first place?

    The Cummins probably ran better after a good wash

    Why'd it sink? Nice recovery

    Stu, I'm surprised Adrian didn't give it a second fluids drain (inc hydraulics) and refill after a couple of hours running after the first. Then again he would know a lot more about it than me !
    I've resurrected a sunk Holden 202 motor (long story.. :) ) and a few outboards and done that maybe as an overkill. Definitely I agree with leaving them on the bottom until your ready to hit them with the vacuum and masses of fresh water.
    Salvage is good work, although I preferred lift bags to get the wreck to where I could crane it or slip it.

      This video ends soon after the first start up. Oil will get changed several times.

      @@DangarMarine Try dismantling all the electronics (inc the spirit level) and drop in fresh water to just cover them and flush for an hour, then air blow dry from different angles for a few days. No WD40 ever, but finish off with Servisol electronics alchohol. You might get a surprise when they come back to life !

    Double bilge. I would definitely want a back up. Mine sank while at the mooring. The pump was fine but the float didn’t go up because it got stuck. The hull always leaked from somewhere on that boat. I never had another problem once I added another bilge. The second one used contacts instead of a float.
