I do the same thing Travis with bolts when I’m working on things. I have a stack of cardboard cake boards and a box of sharpies for when I do motor swaps. I can come back to a project a month later and have no problem locating the correct bolts. I also take a video of the entire motor with my phone. It’s great for when you can’t think because you’re exhausted and hot. Look at the video and see how it’s supposed to fit.
While working on various car engines over the years I have found many bolts that you have to make a choice, you can either see them or touch them but you cannot do both at the same time.
Great episode 🎉 Love the Hey Bikes 🎉 So much better than those skinny wheeled bikes. 🚲 And, even in Jacksonville, it’s freaking Lorinda h.o.t.🔥 Praying the o-ring replace was the fix🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 See you next time. ✨🌊💨⛵️🏝️👙🌞✨
Nice you can do that level of repair, even though it was uncomfortable and difficult it was worth it, not only did you avoid paying a significant charge for a service technician you know it was done correctly and with genuine parts! Good for you, I am in my 70’s and a retired engineer who grew up on a farm in Alberta , I worked of 5 continents and we lived on 3 of them in the 40 years of work ,I still do most of the mechanical maintenance on our vehicles, lawn tractor and small engines. We used to sail and have had several motor boats nearly all the maintenance was done by myself .
I feel your pain. I bought a $19 plastic shift cable bushing no bigger than my thumb nail only to lose it deep down in the unreachable depths underneath the console. So frustrating. This happened just yesterday. New bushing on the way. Wish me luck everybody. God Bless you guys and y'all stay safe on your travels.
Great episode guys! Tip on the Hey bikes.. The extra weight does make a difference on distance my wife is much lighter than myself so on long rides we swap batteries out half way and gives us more range on mine..
btw there are Lithium Batteries that are rated for starting uses up to 1000CCA. Maybe nothing you need at this moment but a good lithium battery can last 10+ years vs an AGM or Lead Acid battery.
Use on your next bolt on socket window seal tape just rip off a little then put on bolt! So it doesn’t fall out duck tape works but other is better! Nice work hopefully out of the hurricane belt now! 😊 sale up to Martha’s Vineyard come meet ya for a drink!
Interesting. Maybe that’s why there was a cap set at PAS level 5 (32km/hr). We had to go into the settings to allow the bike to reach PAS level 9 that reaches a max of 45km/hr
Good job. If that were my boat, any way possible, I’d be cutting an access door on the side you were working on. I hate is when its so difficult to reach places like that. I’ve cut doors out on other boats.
@@stevemarshall8268 You are so right. And engineers that design engines should have to work as mechanics fixing them! The best boat I ever had, also had a WALK IN engine ROOM. Full standing head room once inside. Full 360 degree access. It was a Cal ll-46. Engine room had a 6’ work bench with drill press and a vice! 270 gal of fuel wasn’t hard to take either. Yeah, engine access is soooooo important.
How do you check each country to see if those bikes are legal before riding them ?. I know that a lot of countries will classify those bikes as motorcycles as they propel themselves without pedaling. Be careful.
Just gotta do your due diligence wherever you go. Luckily, Florida seems to be pretty loosey goosey with what we’ve seen people getting around on on the roads 😅
@@SailingJibsea Yup, in FL electric bikes are considered bikes and you can ride them on the sidewalk! Or the street. E scooters only in the road! It's nuts here. Now when driving you got to watch for an e bike at 30 mph on the sidewalk before you make a turn. I'm surprised more people aren't dieing.
It's the governor assembly for the fuel injection pump. It's full of whirling mechanical bits that need lubrication. I believe the oil system for the pump is not part of the rest of the engine's oil system. On old Mercedes diesels, this gets changed when you change the engine oil.
Bike helmets you two…HELMETS!! Crazy U.S. drivers WILL TRY TO KILL YOU! Besides, if I recall Travis doesn’t have the best record with bikes and injury😉
HYBIKES are Number 1 , yes glad you probably got the best of the best of E-Bikes they are quick, last longer than ANY other e-bikes . Great Product however never got Mine for free BUT I WILL STILL PLUG THEM and YOU as 1 of the best E-Bike on the market so check them out, Honestly, check them out........never promoted anyone but I have still have there e- E-bike and I am so impressed I will ,never go back to others e-bikes . Love Air shows, work many air shows so if you make it back home for the Toronto air show You got VIP tickets

The dark side of engine maintenance on a boat. Kudos to Travis!! ~tyfs~ 🐠🐡

Good job Travis and Steph. Hope you get safely away from hurricane Burel .
Great job working on the engine! That was a challenging fix.
While working on various car engines over the years I have found many bolts that you have to make a choice, you can either see them or touch them but you cannot do both at the same time.
Just got my head out of our Volvo 2003, I felt that pain. That was some deep digging, I hope it solved your problem. Big victory when it goes well.
Travis gets to have all the fun!🙃
Watching that gave me the motor mount video vibes LOL. Those Ebikes look pretty snazy you guys nice nice.
🤣
going to be 40 degrees C here in Kamloops today so it is hot all over. Travis u are obviously mechanically inclined. Good job. Be safe

Excellent job, well done. 👍👍
Good work and good thinking. 👌

Good on ya! No better way than learning and doing it yourself!

Ah bummer!! Best of luck! 💪🏼
Great episode guys!
Tip on the Hey bikes.. The extra weight does make a difference on distance my wife is much lighter than myself so on long rides we swap batteries out half way and gives us more range on mine..
Exactly what we started doing! But if one still dies, it goes back on Travis’ bike 🤣
The joys of boat work it’s like putting a square nut in a round hole frustrating to say the least.. E bikes nice.. definitely a upgrade.
Exactly it!🤣
Diesel or oil leak? Impressive tenacity. Thank you for posting.
Oil
Even in "my space" you were not alone! lol
😂
Stephanie your look nice either way but your hair looks so much better without the coloring. Enjoy watching you guys!
Blondes have more fun!
Usually , the last bolt is the worst !
Trying to beat the system with tackling that one first!😅
btw there are Lithium Batteries that are rated for starting uses up to 1000CCA. Maybe nothing you need at this moment but a good lithium battery can last 10+ years vs an AGM or Lead Acid battery.
No complaints about our AGMs so far, we were able to start the house bank with them to get us back. Interested in lithium eventually!
Use on your next bolt on socket window seal tape just rip off a little then put on bolt! So it doesn’t fall out duck tape works but other is better! Nice work hopefully out of the hurricane belt now! 😊 sale up to Martha’s Vineyard come meet ya for a drink!
That's a good idea!
great job on the repair, so those bikes need to registered and insured in Canada because the go faster than 32km/h just a heads up.
Interesting. Maybe that’s why there was a cap set at PAS level 5 (32km/hr). We had to go into the settings to allow the bike to reach PAS level 9 that reaches a max of 45km/hr
Good job. If that were my boat, any way possible, I’d be cutting an access door on the side you were working on. I hate is when its so difficult to reach places like that. I’ve cut doors out on other boats.
We’ve got access on all sides except the starboard unfortunately because that’s where our fridge is located. And of course, that’s where I had get to!
People who design/build boats should have to spend 5 years fixing boats first
@@stevemarshall8268 You are so right. And engineers that design engines should have to work as mechanics fixing them! The best boat I ever had, also had a WALK IN engine ROOM.

@@SailingJibsea Oh man, bummer. Well you are not cutting an access door there. Ha ha.
Ugh! That repair job looked like my worst nigthmare.
Wasn’t fun that’s for sure
I expect a follow up on how it went back together and success/failure!!
Be careful riding here in Florida the old people will run you down and not even notice.
I'd forgotten blonde Steph! It suited you :)
Haha thank you but too bad it doesn’t suit boat life! 👧🏻👧🏼
Got a smaller type ebike here, but without a helmet I would have the cops after me, and I wouldn't feel safe without one.
Travis...where in the heck are you storing those e-bikes on your boat ?
👍
We Canadians have the snow birds. H
Keeping a ship running right can be a bitch some times. Groovy episode.
You got that right!
Travis and Steph, How much does each bike weigh in pounds?… John and Penny, Ontario, Canada…
With the battery in, it’s 72lbs. Not sure how heavy the battery is specifically but we remove it when lifting and it’s a huge difference
How do you check each country to see if those bikes are legal before riding them ?. I know that a lot of countries will classify those bikes as motorcycles as they propel themselves without pedaling. Be careful.

I have to wonder why the engine designer felt that that mechanism had to be in the oil gallery at all?
It's the governor assembly for the fuel injection pump. It's full of whirling mechanical bits that need lubrication. I believe the oil system for the pump is not part of the rest of the engine's oil system. On old Mercedes diesels, this gets changed when you change the engine oil.
@@1crustyoldmsgtretired870
Thanks!
You guys are like 15-20 miles from me I'm in Boca Raton.
Those bikes are quick.
Hmm 50 lbs battery , just for rhe engine , solar batteries about 40 kgs .
Those bikes look like they weigh a ton.
Might want to change the bolts to cap bolts… Allen key bolts might be easier…
Yes they would have been
I’m a bit bigger than you. I’d never fit into that engine compartment
They don’t make it easy!
@@SailingJibsea not at all.
Bike helmets you two…HELMETS!! Crazy U.S. drivers WILL TRY TO KILL YOU! Besides, if I recall Travis doesn’t have the best record with bikes and injury😉
Nothing like a strap on ! Some say it’s a girls best friend (wearing the strap on) Lol
Arghhh, another infomercial.
No one wears helmets on ebikes smh
Not even on motorcycles in a Florida
thumbs down for the infomercial and change from your usual style
