Good job on the bolt Adam.👍👍 Khiara, not to worry, it was a little bolt. That can't be too imporant. 😉😁 I do love the way y'all even make the work fun. Or at least funny. 😂 🙏🙋♂️
Everyone give a THUMBS UP for these two, they are so humble and great fun to watch !! A sailor that doesn't have "CRAFTSMAN 5-Pack Steel 5-in Screw Extractor Set" Adam cheap tool you should get ASAP, also called "EasyOut" !! Safe Sailing guys, truly enjoy your vlogs !!
The degree of profoundness Adam is able to project through this medium will no doubt become a mainstay resource for future cruisers embarking on their first passage 🤔👏
It's boat life, regardless if there is a motor then we all do it. Don't have to show all the details but just the issues problems obstacles you over came. That's how everyone learns. Great Job
I watch your channel because I like your everyday adventures. Even a broken bolt. Keep sailing and keep posting. You both bring sunshine even on the cloudy days.
Impellers and salt water cooling systems. There are more stories about them in my Sailing Technology Playlist than any other topic, now this one included. I feel its one of the most important topics a sailor and motor yacht can know and should know about . And, in addition to stories about typical cooling systems, there are a few VERY unusual stories. One is a story about a very experienced sailor who lost something that couldn't be repaired in passage and ended up running salt water through the fresh water circuit (intentionally) and making it to port without damage ! (Emerald Steel) . Sailing Technology playlist at the CaliforniaKayaker N6GRG channel. Emerald Steel called it "Emergency cooling system repair" and wow, extremely unusual what he did. There are at least two about Keel Coolers, now those are nice. And some videos on working on the impeller in a Outboard Dinghy engine, yes, they have them also. Cooling systems and marine bolts in general break constantly unless generously smeared with anti-sieze compound !
Hi there from one Aussie to another. Feeling a little down this morning but after watching your blog on the jabsco of pump repair and your positive attitude I was reinvigorated. Keep up the great work. Cheers Roger
Great job extracting what was left of the bolt. Since not every broken bolt will be that easy, get yourself a set of "Easy Outs". I'd bet someone in just about any anchorage will also have a set to borrow.
A method I use to remove broken bolts is with a star bit. Drill a hole in the broken bolt slightly smaller than the star bit. Use a hammer to drive the start bit in, then remove with a ratchet and socket. Hope this helps.
Love you guys! I’ve been turning wrenches for over 40 years. Shit is gonna break. How you recover from it is where the learning takes place. Don’t quit trying just because you stripped or broke a bolt. Just try to learn from the experience. Ads, you did a great job extracting that broken bolt!!! Sometimes you have to think out of the box. I am constantly impressed with not only the quality of your videos but the real life content. I have friends that are starting down the sailing/cruising life and I’m going to turn them onto your channel. Fair winds and following seas!!
Love Grand Case. Some really great restaurants for dinner and great LoLos for lunch. Grand Case Beach Club is really nice also, a little more expensive though.
Khiara has strong hands and willing to do anything on the boat that needs to be done! Now put those strong hands to work and stop wrapping the sheet around your hand when sheeting in. Don't ask how I know that though.
Hey guys. Been following your journey for a while now and its the way that you seem just to be living everyday life with real problems and hassles that make your channel so relatable and worth watching. Personally I really do love it when you have episodes like these (also yard episodes!) because just like you the watchers feel that ache to "get back on the water" and when you do get out there the adventures seem so much more deserved. Frankly, if you were cruising around without breaking parts and lazing on beaches I for one would fail to be able to relate anymore. Your channel would lose its character and really you guys would just be lost behind the editing. Anyways, really love allowing your vids to stack up so that I can watch a couple in a go when I carve out a free evening. With love from Canada. Cheers mates! PS. If the rest of you agree lets let our fav Aussies (one true one a fair stand-in) know!
Congrats on the new sails, and seeing the whales (sorry I watched those two episodes on the TV so couldn’t comment). I spent 9 summers sailing between the BVI and Martinique and only saw a whale once, so you are super lucky! Furling the jib/genoa with the winch while you are going upwind is totally fine as long as you remember to ease the sheet. In unexpected blows when I need to get the headsail in suddenly, I’ve found that going almost dead-down wind is the easiest way, but you need a competent hand on the helm to avoid an accidental gybe, particularly if you have any seas. I’m a lurker and just wanted to say I love your show, you two never fail to make me smile and want to get back on the water! Go back to Il Forche when the winds make the anchorage less rolly, the sunset from the top is awesome and the goats are very friendly!
I love your real life videos, you show how it really is out there cruising and living. Right now we're replacing my parts, I had my left knee replaced in March and will have my right knee replaced in June. Then we can get back out there and sail again!!!! Miss you guys!!
Every time I watch Khiara, a young Katharine Hepburn comes to mind, then next, "African Queen". If Adam would do a clean shave he might be able to pull off doing Charlie Allnutt. Y'all could do a little African Queen skit .... 👍👍😁
If it happens again on something a bit more substantial, get a welder to stick a piece of copper pipe into the hole, so it's flush/just past, then weld inside the copper pipe till your out of the hole, try fill the copper pipe, then place a nut on top and weld it to your first weld. The copper tube will protect the threads and case and you'll have a fresh nut to pull the old bolt out. There are tutorials on youtube. I really liked your solution though, doesn't need a welder and it works! I'll add that to memory
Brain over Braun!!! That’s what I always said to my son when he was reefing on something that was giving him resistance, or trying to carry way more at one time than was practical... I told him that since forcing it or overloading will likely make matters worse, he should stop and think for a minute to outwit the problem or just make one extra trip to avoid dropping the whole lot. HE ALWAYS HATED WHEN I’D SAY THAT!! But now he is 30 and I was recently visiting his house one day while he was working on something, and I literally heard him growl and say to himself, “Brain over Braun, Robert!” He learned! 😂😉😁
Remember, nitty-gitty is fine. Why? Because your videos are less about "what" you are doing, and more about the fact that it's how you two approach it and do it. :)
Olive Oyl. Torgue wrench until you get a feel for 1/2 turn before it breaks. Left hand drill bits. Heli-Coil (5X.8, 6X1.0, 8X1.25). @10:46 impeller is in wrong. Sometimes they will self right, sometimes not. Good idea to put some lube on a new impeller. Silicone grease or dish wash liquid works fine. Tef-gel or anti seize on the bolts or 242 Blu Loctite. You can make installation easy by putting a tie strap/cable tie or hose clamp on the impeller to compress it to make it easy to slide into the housing.
Left hand drill set. The bolt was broken not stuck. It would walk right out. And if you Did manage to drill all the way thru the screw, then use the easy out. But, it was good the bolt broke and didn’t strip the housing. A couple of heli-coil kits on board are a money saver. Adams aerospace background should have him good to go with those.
Breaking bolts happens to the best of us. Add in salt water and you've pretty much got a bolt breaking machine. None of the screw extractor sets I have tried has been worth a damn except one. The RIDGID 35585 is what the machine shop guys use, and I have had some success with it. I'm a little behind...I think you guys are travelling now so sending you stuff might be tricky, but I would be willing to send you a set if there's somewhere to send it. Also, had a good laugh at Easy Going Adam. "Up-up-up Khiara that's not quite correct" 😁🤣
you broke nothing. although you addressed a future problem b4 it became one. congrads you who bring smiles to so many. its so like you two beautiful beings.
Nifty bolt extraction. Good to change bolts if a head can shear off that easily. Sweet engine access. Seeing it sail and serve as your home, that seems like a really good boat. Hope the pandemic winds down soon and you can travel more.
Not a problem Ads. I've said it before....she is an actual model that isn't afraid to get her hands dirty......and she is strong! Looking forward to continuing adventures. Given her history....get lots of spare hardware.
Hello from Finland! Dont worry Khiara, i’m all so a person who brakes every bolt. Positive side is that i learn to ”clear” the hole. Just maintenanced my outboard gear lever and needed to file the screw on both side to get the shaft out 😁 then drilled a new hole. Best method if possible is to weld nut on broken bolt, but in boat that is of course little bit harder. But good thing that Adam knows thing or two on broken bolts .
Just a note, in case no one mentioned it, the impeller pulls in seawater opposite of the direction Adam was describing, the offset creates a barrier to force the water out! So it means the water is moving around the housing, not being forced through the offset. Vaned vacuum pumps etc work on the same principle.
Bear in mind the impeller is brand new, so will be paricularly stiff. It is not the same as a water pump on a car, that has a metal impeller that does not touch the housing.
Lol..don't stress about it Khiara, there are only 2 types of people in the world. Those who have broken a bolt, and those who will. I guess the workout routine you guys do really works. 😉🦸♀️🏋️♀️
The good part is you be doing what you love to do, wish I did not have serious motion sickness issue cause I would have spent much more time at sea than riding on the big steel ships I did. Its is always nice to see people sailing the high seas and enjoying their life
Along with a set of easyout as someone has mentioned get yourself a good vice grip plier's if you haven''t already got. One of my best tools, got me out of many a problem over the years,
Love it. This is boat life for sure. On another note, your music choices are cool. If you're not familiar with it I highly suggest you check out "Grace Too" by Tragically Hip. I think you'll love it! Cheers.
9:50 - broken fasteners. If Khiara is breaking fasteners, they probably needed replacing anyway from metal fatigue. I say that in a positive, not critical, tone. You'll get the feel for it over time; we've all done it.
Don’t know if it’s the music editing you’ve done but I saw a great improvement. Great catchup. THANK YOUUUUU ⛵️⛵️⛵️🥰🥰🥰. Her name is OLIVE by the way hahahaha
Olive Oyl . Over tightening is a stage on the path to being good at it. We've all been through this phase. Don't fret, get a torque wrench to keep from going too far.
@@nick.caffrey I mean it is a biggie and they do get frustrated and angry and sad but it's probably less than you'd be starting out and more than they show cause it's not entertaining.
Chasing Forever is balls on and I too remember her name too sir, mundane as it is but you 2 make it funny with the British spin even to those of us that have been there and done that even more than once. cheers and carry on you 2 kids.
Hello you two, For removing broken screw like that you can also drill a hole in the threaded stud and hammer in an oversize driver bit and just like that drive it out with a ratchet. This is for Kiara, an old mechanic answer my question by saying : tight the bolt 1/8 of a turn before it breaks... Keep smiling, you are inspiring people !
Hey Olive and Popeye, I reckon if you didn't break something at least once a month, you'd run out of fun, interesting DIY stuff for us to watch. So keep on keeping on. :D Also, I have another question for Q&A. You've talked about dream boats and sailing equipment wish lists before, but with your main job being filming and editing, what equipment do you have & use the most, and what would be on that wish list?
I'd recommends a small inch pound torque wrench for the smaller engine related bolts. it'll keep the bolts tightened to the same amount, as well as improve your sealing straightness of parts. Larger torque wrench is most likely not needed, as that would imply larger repairs that most likely would be done by a mechanic anyway. Just my two cents. (25 yrs mechanical experience) Popeyes wife was Olive! Looks like a nice location your at. Cheerz!
They make these amazing things that won't let you over-torque bolts. They even come in different torque ratings. Impact screwdriver would work fine for hammering out the busted bit. Good solution.
Very much enjoyed this episode :) Those bolts may well have had crevice corrosion although the torque limit is pretty low on M6 stainless around 8Nm so only about 2kg force on the end of a spanner
Nice, good job on the repair description with IPB. 13:50. (Illustrated parts breakdown) there, Albert. ✅ I’m sorry that Khiara had to go all POPEYE 💪🤦🏼♀️ on your bolt, or would that be Olive Oil 🤷🏻♂️😎👍
It's possible to drill screws out of blind holes.This is much easier to do if the head of the screw is still attached and if it's most anything other than a flat head screw, as you will use the tool receptor to center your drill, which you can't do if it's just a long slot for a flat head screw driver. Just be sure to know what size screw it is and use a drill that's slightly smaller than the tap drill size, and make sure the drill is drilling straight and true with the screw hole. It helps if you have high quality drills. MSC and McMaster-Carr sells high quality drill index 115 piece drill index sets. I would look for 115 piece set in the $400 range so you can be assured that the drills will be able to handle stainless. It may also be advantageous to stock a few left handed drills to use for this, as a left handed drill will sometimes grab onto corroded drill and back it out of the hole, like a screw extractor. I DO NOT recommend screw extractors. I have had very little success with them, and the machinists I know have the same experience. They will often break off in the screw, and extractors cannot be drilled out. Left handed drills will not break, instead they will just continue to drill more material out until they either grab the screw, or drill the whole thing out. Do not drill stainless at full speed. Spin that drill slowly, and use some kind of cutting fluid. Even with high quality drills, stainless can dull those things in an instant if you spin them too fast. Drills can be resharpened using a bench grinder, belt sander, or even something like a cutoff wheel on a Dremel. It takes knowledge and practice to resharpen a drill, but it can be learned, and it really comes in handy. The technique of using a slightly smaller drill than the tap drill size will save the internal threads of the hole, but will leave some screw material in the hole. After you drill your initial hole, and you see that you have drilled straight and true, you should step up to the next size drill until you finally see the start of the threads. At this point, you can use a thread pick to pick the rest of the screw out of the threads, or use a tap to gently coax the remainder of the screw out of the internal threads. This can be a time consuming job, but it can save you a lot of money if you break something off in a very expensive and important part, like your engine block.
Since I have bought a torque wrench I have saved myself a lot more than the the torque wrench cost in time and parts I haven’t damaged by not over tightening them. Keep enjoying the good life
Mrs. Popeye. AKA Olive Oil. I went through a period of time, in my youth, like you, when I either broke or stripped out every other bolt or screw I touched. I did learn better, but it took a while. I think part of it is that we don't think we have the strength to actually break bolts until we do it a few times. All I can say is, I'm impressed. You guys are the best.
Just get a torque wrench, a couple of bolts & nuts and a vise. Torque them down and compare how it feels with your tools and you'll develop a feeling on how much you can reef on things. Also, more torque seldomly fixes leaks. Broken bolts in through holes are easy, if you can't get them just drill through and use a nut or tap a bigger thread. ez outs can be a pain if they break since it's hardened steel. I'd prefer to punch in a sacrificial torx bit. Also a chisel can be quite handy to turn the remainder of the bolt.
Great video! Congratulations on your continued success in cruising! Can you post links or information on the soundtrack? I really liked the tunes you were playing during the video and the sailing segments
Water pump, replaced my screws on my water pump with much easier hand tunable bolts (found product in back of boating magazine) to replace the originals. Easy turn, easy to install. Can do it in a strong sea way. I found the gasket was usually made of paper and over tightening was only for one shot approach as a get home measure.
Could have been worse, you could have cracked the casing that pump to which that pump is attached! Ask me how I know... this video is a great real view into sailboat life!
Khiara, I have over-tightened, broke and stripped so many screws and bolts myself I can not remeber. When you said about "that sound" and a "sudden ease" all these times came back to me. Ouch. One day I ate the humble pie and bought a dynamometric/torque wrench, actualy a couple of them of different ranges. Even the "consumer grade" will do. You can't judge the torque by hand on an old greasy worn-out bolt or in a soft metal like aluminium. Workshop manuals warn against trying it.
Absolutely, one of my favorite vlogs. And no, I'm not going to tell you the girlfriend of Popeye. Thanks for your efforts to share your adventures. Much appreciated.
A suggestion. Get an "anti-seize" product for bolts and such that need to be disassembled. It will make life a bit easier when you have to change parts in the future. Nice job on the fix, Kihara. Another bit of advice, IF there is a gasket involved and after proper re-assembly, it leaks, take it apart and find out why it leaks. Dirt on the surfaces to be mated, broken, torn gasket are 2 of the possibilities.

A set of left hand drills are equally valuable.
Olive Oil was her name, and I just dated myself! Great video!
Could be updated to Aussie Oil?
I think that was Olive Oyl...
@@paulfitzgerald1466 I think you're correct. I remembered it being a different spelling.

"Tighten it up until it breaks then back it off a quarter turn"! School of mechanics!
😂
The way you two deal with things is a breath of fresh air.
We don't care about the "how to" aspect of your trials and tribulations...we (your fans) love to see you handle the joys of sailing!
Speak for yourself
I’m at 75-year-old Aussie love looking at your stories and adventures got on use have fun😊
You two are the best. I find myself smiling every time i watch you both, Thanks for the top notch entertainment.
Great video! Everyone has broken a bolt or two! By the way, Khiara is a 1000 times better looking than Olive Oil!!!
Love watching all the little things you two do to stay afloat.....looking forward to next vid....never miss a one...stay safe and good sailing.

Very strangely I found this episode and the explanations about what you were doing very interesting!! 🤷♀️
sweet recovery dude , awesome that you had the issue in the first place :-)
Who cares if you broke bolts it’s all part of it your not an idiot by no means you and Adam are legends thanks for what you do.
Not a problem Ads. I've said it before....she is an actual model that isn't afraid to get her hands dirty......and she is strong! Looking forward to continuing adventures. Given her history....get lots of spare hardware.
Hello from Finland!
Dont worry Khiara, i’m all so a person who brakes every bolt. Positive side is that i learn to ”clear” the hole. Just maintenanced my outboard gear lever and needed to file the screw on both side to get the shaft out 😁 then drilled a new hole.

The water pump seemed very hard to turn, but maybe that's how they are. Great episode.
Bear in mind the impeller is brand new, so will be paricularly stiff. It is not the same as a water pump on a car, that has a metal impeller that does not touch the housing.
and he was turning it the wrong way (although that probably wouldn't make it harder to turn....mostly difficult because it was dry).
Your videos are always so fresh and delightful. What wonderful energy
Lol..don't stress about it Khiara, there are only 2 types of people in the world. Those who have broken a bolt, and those who will. I guess the workout routine you guys do really works. 😉🦸♀️🏋️♀️
Your enthusiasm never ends, love it :-)
In addition to extractor taps there is counterrotating drillbits, most often the bolt comes out by itself using those drilbits.
🙌 as ever, a great episode. Hope several books were being consumed whilst the captain did all the work☺️
The good part is you be doing what you love to do, wish I did not have serious motion sickness issue cause I would have spent much more time at sea than riding on the big steel ships I did. Its is always nice to see people sailing the high seas and enjoying their life
Keeping it real, love you two! Enjoy some down time for me
Along with a set of easyout as someone has mentioned get yourself a good vice grip plier's if you haven''t already got. One of my best tools, got me out of many a problem over the years,

Love it. This is boat life for sure.
On another note, your music choices are cool. If you're not familiar with it I highly suggest you check out "Grace Too" by Tragically Hip. I think you'll love it!
Cheers.
9:50 - broken fasteners. If Khiara is breaking fasteners, they probably needed replacing anyway from metal fatigue. I say that in a positive, not critical, tone. You'll get the feel for it over time; we've all done it.
Don’t know if it’s the music editing you’ve done but I saw a great improvement. Great catchup. THANK YOUUUUU ⛵️⛵️⛵️🥰🥰🥰. Her name is OLIVE by the way hahahaha
Ditto. best video.
Olive Oyl . Over tightening is a stage on the path to being good at it. We've all been through this phase. Don't fret, get a torque wrench to keep from going too far.
How do you both remain so good-humoured in the face of these crises that would make me lose it?
They've been sailing for like 2 years. This is a normal monday.
@@YamaZombies 'spose whatever you're used to is no biggie....
....It's done by a technique called.."Editing"
@@nick.caffrey I mean it is a biggie and they do get frustrated and angry and sad but it's probably less than you'd be starting out and more than they show cause it's not entertaining.
Chasing Forever is balls on and I too remember her name too sir, mundane as it is but you 2 make it funny with the British spin even to those of us that have been there and done that even more than once. cheers and carry on you 2 kids.
Use a drill 4.5mm put a woodskruv in the hole and twist the screw.it takes 5 min.done that a few times.
Hello you two,
For removing broken screw like that you can also drill a hole in the threaded stud and hammer in an oversize driver bit and just like that drive it out with a ratchet. This is for Kiara, an old mechanic answer my question by saying : tight the bolt 1/8 of a turn before it breaks... Keep smiling, you are inspiring people !
Olive Oyl gets strong when eating spinach just like Popeye! Have you been eating Adam's spinach? Luv ya'lls happy smiling faces!
What songs did you play? Loved the video! Thank you both!
Screw extractor if you have one. You can also drill it and retap it.
Hey Olive and Popeye,
I reckon if you didn't break something at least once a month, you'd run out of fun, interesting DIY stuff for us to watch. So keep on keeping on. :D
Also, I have another question for Q&A.
You've talked about dream boats and sailing equipment wish lists before, but with your main job being filming and editing, what equipment do you have & use the most, and what would be on that wish list?
Great lesson that everything is not sailing and swimming.
I'd recommends a small inch pound torque wrench for the smaller engine related bolts. it'll keep the bolts tightened to the same amount, as well as improve your sealing straightness of parts. Larger torque wrench is most likely not needed, as that would imply larger repairs that most likely would be done by a mechanic anyway. Just my two cents. (25 yrs mechanical experience)
Popeyes wife was Olive!
Looks like a nice location your at.
Cheerz!
They make these amazing things that won't let you over-torque bolts.
They even come in different torque ratings.
Impact screwdriver would work fine for hammering out the busted bit. Good solution.
Very much enjoyed this episode :)
Those bolts may well have had crevice corrosion although the torque limit is pretty low on M6 stainless around 8Nm so only about 2kg force on the end of a spanner
Nice, good job on the repair description with IPB. 13:50. (Illustrated parts breakdown) there, Albert. ✅
I’m sorry that Khiara had to go all POPEYE 💪🤦🏼♀️ on your bolt, or would that be Olive Oil 🤷🏻♂️😎👍
It's possible to drill screws out of blind holes.This is much easier to do if the head of the screw is still attached and if it's most anything other than a flat head screw, as you will use the tool receptor to center your drill, which you can't do if it's just a long slot for a flat head screw driver. Just be sure to know what size screw it is and use a drill that's slightly smaller than the tap drill size, and make sure the drill is drilling straight and true with the screw hole.
It helps if you have high quality drills. MSC and McMaster-Carr sells high quality drill index 115 piece drill index sets. I would look for 115 piece set in the $400 range so you can be assured that the drills will be able to handle stainless. It may also be advantageous to stock a few left handed drills to use for this, as a left handed drill will sometimes grab onto corroded drill and back it out of the hole, like a screw extractor.
I DO NOT recommend screw extractors. I have had very little success with them, and the machinists I know have the same experience. They will often break off in the screw, and extractors cannot be drilled out. Left handed drills will not break, instead they will just continue to drill more material out until they either grab the screw, or drill the whole thing out.
Do not drill stainless at full speed. Spin that drill slowly, and use some kind of cutting fluid. Even with high quality drills, stainless can dull those things in an instant if you spin them too fast. Drills can be resharpened using a bench grinder, belt sander, or even something like a cutoff wheel on a Dremel. It takes knowledge and practice to resharpen a drill, but it can be learned, and it really comes in handy.
The technique of using a slightly smaller drill than the tap drill size will save the internal threads of the hole, but will leave some screw material in the hole. After you drill your initial hole, and you see that you have drilled straight and true, you should step up to the next size drill until you finally see the start of the threads. At this point, you can use a thread pick to pick the rest of the screw out of the threads, or use a tap to gently coax the remainder of the screw out of the internal threads.
This can be a time consuming job, but it can save you a lot of money if you break something off in a very expensive and important part, like your engine block.
Since I have bought a torque wrench I have saved myself a lot more than the the torque wrench cost in time and parts I haven’t damaged by not over tightening them. Keep enjoying the good life
Mrs. Popeye. AKA Olive Oil. I went through a period of time, in my youth, like you, when I either broke or stripped out every other bolt or screw I touched. I did learn better, but it took a while. I think part of it is that we don't think we have the strength to actually break bolts until we do it a few times. All I can say is, I'm impressed. You guys are the best.
That was awesome guys! Believe me,,I need all the help I can get when it comes to maintenance! Thanks for taking me along.
They'd call you Wrench Bender in the mechanics world, haha.
You're on a *BOAT !*
Olive Oyl, American comic-strip and cartoon character, the longtime love interest of the sailor Popeye.
That is because different bolts have different torque settings (Plus, a broken bolt will need a new bolt and an easy out to remove it)
Y'all better get an extractor set, and probably a tap and die set. 😂
Just get a torque wrench, a couple of bolts & nuts and a vise. Torque them down and compare how it feels with your tools and you'll develop a feeling on how much you can reef on things. Also, more torque seldomly fixes leaks. Broken bolts in through holes are easy, if you can't get them just drill through and use a nut or tap a bigger thread. ez outs can be a pain if they break since it's hardened steel. I'd prefer to punch in a sacrificial torx bit. Also a chisel can be quite handy to turn the remainder of the bolt.
Great video! Congratulations on your continued success in cruising! Can you post links or information on the soundtrack? I really liked the tunes you were playing during the video and the sailing segments
Water pump, replaced my screws on my water pump with much easier hand tunable bolts (found product in back of boating magazine) to replace the originals. Easy turn, easy to install. Can do it in a strong sea way. I found the gasket was usually made of paper and over tightening was only for one shot approach as a get home measure.
Great video guys, as always... Thank you... How do you dispose old engine oil in the Caribbean ? Just curious...
Finally,, I get my weekly SMF fix!! You guys are addictive! And that's a good thing!! Keep on keeping on!! One question, how tall is Adam/Ben?
Could have been worse, you could have cracked the casing that pump to which that pump is attached! Ask me how I know... this video is a great real view into sailboat life!
Khiara, I have over-tightened, broke and stripped so many screws and bolts myself I can not remeber. When you said about "that sound" and a "sudden ease" all these times came back to me. Ouch. One day I ate the humble pie and bought a dynamometric/torque wrench, actualy a couple of them of different ranges. Even the "consumer grade" will do. You can't judge the torque by hand on an old greasy worn-out bolt or in a soft metal like aluminium. Workshop manuals warn against trying it.
Absolutely, one of my favorite vlogs. And no, I'm not going to tell you the girlfriend of Popeye. Thanks for your efforts to share your adventures. Much appreciated.
I just noticed you don't have split pins in your rigging tensioners???🤷♂️🤷♂️😎
You Should of said that impeller works by magic.
Wow beautyfull clear water 😍😎🚀
A suggestion. Get an "anti-seize" product for bolts and such that need to be disassembled. It will make life a bit easier when you have to change parts in the future. Nice job on the fix, Kihara. Another bit of advice, IF there is a gasket involved and after proper re-assembly, it leaks, take it apart and find out why it leaks. Dirt on the surfaces to be mated, broken, torn gasket are 2 of the possibilities.
