"PDF land" says the computer nerd as he enters "PFD land."
Lol. Love you Doug. Hope you guys had a good vacation!
Ha Personal Device for Flotation?
Heard that, too. Thought to myself, "PDF - Personal Device Flotation. Hmm, that sounds like the army named it!"
Love the place, spent $300 one trip & came away with a Ford Bronco loaded to the ceiling with tons of stuff including a Dahon folding 3 spd bicycle
10:40 "Somebody made a nice job of making my welds look better." Lol wow Doug 😂. I'd totally be giving similar commentary haha
You could probably make a bilge pump with a suspension airbag. Or using air-brake diaphragms.
You found a good place there Doug. I rebuilt a Downeast Lobster boat 15 years ago and I bought a lot of parts there CHEAP. That boat is still on the water and most of those used parts and ones I machined from stainless are still on it. They ship all over and you forgot to mention they are in the same building as the Post office. You could buy something, box it up, walk next door and ship it home. I live about 20 minutes from there and you can usually negotiate with them especially on items having birthdays and some stuff, like stoves, have had a few birthdays there.
Knew you would find at least ONE Bow Thruster !
That's a great place. I bought my outboard there for $350 and still use it today
enjoy your vaca doug
Loving the bow thruster humor! :-D
you laughed about that pump for your bow thruster but I was looking a a bow thruster system that uses pumped jets of water instead of a prop in a tube. The system takes up less room in the bow as you can locate the pump any place and just run tubing for it. you can also put jets at the aft end so you can push the boat completely side ways or you and use them to rotate the boat in it's own hull length.
I saw a framed needle point in a sail boat that read " A boat is a hole in the water lined with wood into which you pour money". I think it doesn't matter what the construction material is for the boat; that is a great and appropriate definition.
Salt water is a tough environment for most materials to hold up and work. Plus the market is not as large as for most other goods.

Bilge pump diaphragm, check out big truck brake chamber's diaphragms, NAPA Auto/truck. Some are designed to move a lot of air/water.
Happen to have some laying in the front yard. :)
In case you didn't know Doug, the air system on trucks is governed to max out at about 120 psi. The brake pots you have would have to be able to exceed that considerably for a safety margin. I wonder just how close a brake pot is to being a bilge pump?
Hey Doug...just be careful with the brake chambers if it is a two hose type they have a widow maker spring in the back section. there should be a tee shape threaded tool in the side between the sections to insert turn 90 deg & tighten fully to contain the spring.
Wilden diaphragm pumps have the parts you want.

Or
I don't even have a boat ,and I like that place.
Thanks for that Doug. I have an Edson pump in Bronze sitting on the floor of the workshop. I had no idea what it was worth.......until now! For you to make one it may pay dividends to order the rubber parts from Edson and make all the rest. I will be ordering some replacement ones for mine at about $250. Cheap insurance too! I am fitting a plastic hose for the pick up side and a lay flat (Fire hose type) for the discharge side, because it stores real easy and very portable, if you have to go help someone in trouble. Those used boat parts store are always a great way to fritter away an hour (or two!) of your day! Thanks for sharing.
If, I know biggest word in the dictionary, but IF your ever up in Victoria British Columbia, in downtown Victoria just north of the St John's bridge is the Victoria Marine supply and Hardware store. go down to the BASEMENT. OMG, second hand heaven especially for old sailing and brass hardware, back to the steamer ships and old sailing barks.
Love your T sheet. Greetings from Darwin Australia... Love the vids too.
Oh yeah, I live near that place. Could walk around in there all day.
For the bulge pump use the air bag from the trailer axle you cut up. Can resist high pressure and made to flex.
The diaphragm for the hand pump could easily be made out of the sidewall of a tire. Garden implements or even a hand truck tire.
And that 6" pump could be used for suction dredging. Removing sand from wreck sites is the biggest obstacle to any salvage operation. Also, there are lots of places on the planet where offshore gold dredging has never been done, but gold rushes happened in the creeks above....
Thank you for movies,Terra Boa city,Brazil
When you scrub the deck ( sorry you make the crew ) , there you give the, "same" water with that pump!
Wow...take me back WAY back on those canister lights...MUCH better lights now...even my Dive Rite light is 1/10th the size of those...and it weighs in at about 1/10th that too...the latest light I'm after doesn't have a battery canister at all...:)
you can buy a air brake chamber diaphragm cheap at Napa or any truck stop for your bilge pump
I'd feel like a kid in a candy store wandering around it there. You might want to think about investing in an EPIRB just in case. for the boat and perhaps for the life jackets as well. Thanks for the video.
You were in my neck of the woods?! Damn! I missed it.
That pump at the end of the video looked like a Flygt submersible pump. I used to maintain and rebuild them as part of my job in a wastewater treatment plant. They are great pumps- the only downside is the Flygts are made in Sweden and nobody carries a lot of spare parts anymore. If you buy one, purchase a couple of rebuild kits when you get it. They will only fail at midnight, during the worst storm of winter. I give everyone this information for free- believe me- I know when they fail. You need to get back online in a hurry!!! LOL!!!
Nice t-shirt at the start there Doug g'day from oz
Bow thruster... Nice!
I've lived aboard my boat Temptress for half of the last 27 years. I have found that the Raratin PH-II heads hold up really well. I just replaced the one that was in the boat for the last 25 years and 20,000 ocean miles mostly because the porcelain bowl was stained. I believe that the plastic pump lasts longer then bronze. Bronze corrodes, plastic doesn't. Just my experience. PS. Periodically flush some vinegar down your head. Breaks down the calcium salts that form inside the pumps.
Thanks. I like plastic as a material, but I wish they used heavier walled stuff.
Well, you can cast plastic too :)
You still up here? Should visit Galilee if you haven't already. I've lived in Rhode Island all my life. Its neat finding new places to visit in such a small place.
Home again. But thanks for the tip.
The diaphragm looks just like the one on a brake chamber for semi/trailer brakes. Look for a 30/30 brake chamber diaphragm
Air brake pod diaphragms are cheap and make great universal diaphragms. Come in many sizes! (Charles Cain beat me to it)
maybe for the DiY pump membrane you could use half of a basketball.
The best place ever my favorite place
a #30 brake chamber rubber for a semi air brake for the diaphragm
The bilge pumps kinda look like maxi chambers for air brakes on truck you might be able to use the housings. just make sure you look up how to cage the spring before you take one apart. You might find a old one thrown away at a truck shop most of the chambers have two diaphragms in them and are easily replaced
Maybe could use air bags like on truck suspension too.
That is a brilliant observation. We'll take a look at that.
plenty of brake chambers on the trailer axles they have just cut up
Victor: Very smart idea!
When we're on vacation and we buy stuff thats too awkward or inconvenient to drag home we usually ask if they'll box it up and pay for shipping right there while you wait......
Too Cool.
consider a school grade rubber ball, for the pump diaphragm stock..
rope stopper
for the captive winch
They are damn proud of their junk boat parts out there on the east coast.
I'm curious to know what the trailer fabricator at 12:08 has in mind for the over-all design.
Pretty cool...I was just there today! Any interest in an antique Azimuth with a compass?
Good to know they are still there. There is a place in Saint Pete that is twelve times the size. ruclips.net/video/VtIypuSBRRM/видео.html ...and no, I have all the navigation stuff I needed.
The endcard is wrong!!! It should say 'What did you accidently blow $2,000 on!'
You and your bow thrusters... you don't need no stinking bow thruster Doug... you are the best sailor in the world... ;-)
Oh! ...are you saying that people have bow thrusters because they haven't learned to sail a boat? ....because I would not say that. ...not here anyway. :)
I work near a marina with several 50+ foot yachts and one at over 100 feet. There is absolutely no way those boats could get in and out without bow thrusters. There just is not the room available. With them, they just slide one boatwidth over, and motor out. Even that maneuver is an amazing act of seamanship.
Marine consignment prices are a starting point.
These parts are crazy overpriced. I hope they negotiate these prices.
They do barter a little, just remember marine always adds a 0 to the end of the price.
This place is @ 5 miles from me.
Yeah i was going to say the prices were optimistic
Marine plywood is only really needed in a wet area.Otherwise good plywood which will be barrier coated will serve for most purposes
The hours I could spend in that store. The nights that my wife would make me sleep on the couch. Maybe worth it
I'm not saying it's right for everyone, but divorce has been a huge boost for my freedom on choice and my bank account. : )
I live 15 minutes from there and have never been.
That stuff sure is overpriced...Have you considered using a composting toilet as a head? Would save you a lot of plumbing and stuff and at sea it makes little difference ..
That's probably cadmium plating.
no wonder BOAT stands for bust out another thousand everything seems to cost serious bucks of second hand.
And there is a lot of joy in building the parts too.
Part of why I like your build, you try to build for durability and value. I don't understand the pricing on used marine gear. Example a rv stove and a marine stove are functionally the same, with similar safety features but one is nearly free used and the other is $500 worn out. I can deal with rusty steel every few years for the price differences.
Here is a parts list for a similar pump, just buy the rubber parts and cast the rest yourself. www.edsonpumps.com/content/117AL-07.pdf
You can get the diaphragms at cvs
Hey Doug, I was just thinking, you probably need a bow thruster on that girl...
Doug, Leave your wallet home when you go into those places. You'll be happier in the long run.
Marine stuff is sooo expensive.
they say "marine grade" they are more expensive
Holy cow. Good nautical quality stuff is gonna be expensive, but these are used pieces. What the heck?
Neat junk
diaphram =inner tube
Poop over the side like everybody else used to do
very expensive !!!!!
Please share a video of where you shop.
Wicked overpriced, too bad this would have been great publicity. Im in Massachusetts was going make the trip till i saw the prices
This crap was overpriced by 200%.
