Do you still have your boat? I lived in Japan for six years and have a dream of sailing the Inland Sea. Would appreciate a chance to ask questions.
@sailingseamuraiАй бұрын
Hi, yes I still have it. Inland sea is beautiful location for sailing indeed. Many scenic areas and places to stop and experience Old Japan.

If the impeller shaft leaks due to salt crystals scouring, it drips on the long under pipe causing failure within a year. You can re-use the scoured shaft if you turn the impeller oil seal around. I spray grease over all the 3 oil feeder pipes twice a year. I've motored all over europe and put 5000 salty hours on mine, 4 impellers, one long lower return pipe, 3 internal anodes, one impellor oil seal and very little MGO 😉 Good video P.S I once had the engine diesel filter come loose and had to turn it and bleed her. I gave her a hosepipe flush once. I have a stuart turner sea-cock and raw water filter and replaced that short pipe twice 🤣 I changed to stainless bolts for ease of access on the impellor and white silicone sealant years ago, 5 minute change on a lee-shore 😉 Due to no money my engine has been held in place after all 4 engine mounting rubbers came away by about 40 very big cable-ties, not too tight, not a great option but, it will get you home...

Thanks I'm mounting a surface mount on a 14deg sloped vertical surface. You gave me some ideas. The compass I'm installing can tolerate up to a 30 deg pitch. Most mount surfaces are not flat they have some pitch. Good video, fair skies and following winds to you.

Thanks for the clear video! My 26ft boat has the same engine, and I will soon do my first real maintenance on the engine before it's hauled out of the water for this winter!
@jxdigital10 ай бұрын
Why no sailing? The boat is a lot more stable with (reefed) sail up, than motoring with no sails. For longer passages with headwind, it may be more comfortable and relaxing to just to just sail and tack your way up, rather than motoring/hammering straight into the wind.

Protect the pipes underneath with cosmoline spray like CRC 06026 Heavy Duty Corrosion Inhibitor and better yet some Densyl Tape - DENSO All Purpose Petrolatum Tape. Your oil line is rusting already!

It was interesting, so I watched all the videos. With subtitles, even Japanese people could understand it easily. Since you seem to speak Japanese, I would like you to make a Japanese version of the video as well. I don't think it's a problem even if your Japanese is a little cluttered. If you cannot speak in Japanese, you can speak in English.

And now a hoist out to replace that cheap seacock. Thanks for the clear video.
Thank you for sharing this. Is there a rule for how much sanding and grinding is "ok"? I'm asking because anyone with a slightly obsessive mindset (asking for a friend of course! haha) might want to go all the way down to the core of the hull, whereas I have a feeling that this is not the goal here.
@sailingseamurai Жыл бұрын
Thanks for comment. Basically you want to create a base for a new primer / barrier layer to catch up so make sure that old paint is removed as much as possible but don't be too much obsessive with it especially if there are some stubborn old layers. As long as they don't peel and are relatively smooth, it is OK. Basically you don't want to damage gel coat below the paint and seeing white areas below your sander disk is a sure sign to stop. Seeing the resin with fibers means you did too much.

You didn't turn the seacock back on? Or if you did you didn't tell others that don't know boats to make sure to turn back on so they don't burn up new impeller other than that great video

How can you evaluate the condition of the zink? Looked big..?
@sailingseamurai2 жыл бұрын
general rule is to replace them once a year, however this may depend on water salinity, engine usage and do you keep your boat in a water all year long or not. Some suggest that anode should be changed when reduces to half of it's full size, however if you already removed it from the engine for checking, you might as well replace it.

Hi Alan, no I didn't except for a light brush of the keel. For the hull, once finished sanding I used dry cloth and wiped it in couple of passes to remove dust and dirt.

That compass is not designed to be mounted on a bulkhead in a vertical position. That's why it jammed and doesn't work. It is designed to be horizontally mounted on top of a wheel steering binnacle.

No damage on the disk whatsoever. I repainted it because it was painted in the first place and there was still some growth on it. It probablz does not require to be painted as it is not original part of the propeller assembly, so you should be OK.

@sailingseamurai2 жыл бұрын
Those are M6 bolts but you need 10mm spanner for bolt head. I have two car batteries installed and due to their size, one is installed in the compartment you have seen in video, while the other one is in the compartment you mentioned in front. Not only they are not proper models but also not a same type. I am aware it is not a best practice but both batteries were new and will eventually use proper ones on the next change.
