This video is an example of the internet at its finest! Where else would I have ever learned this otherwise. Thank you.

So, was it a problem getting the deck clean? I just went out to the marina and my boat had exactly the same thing. I thought someone was screwing with me and spraying my boat with green crap. I couldn’t believe it was from bugs.

Great video! Super helpful and informative... But had to stop watching because of that detector randomly beeping annoyingly.

this was very stirring. going to pick one up this week in the Ozarks to learn to solo sail in my 50s. had a crush on the boat the minute I saw the ad. seeing this and I'm double sold. Did you make this tribute for your father's funeral?

Sorry for the chuckle but it was kind of funny. I recently replaced the lower armature bearing in my orbital sander. Hopefully it holds together. Very interested in your window mission.

Next fill-up , pour a qt of ATF in the fuel tank 👍👍🇺🇲

@WildRoverSailing 5 ай бұрын

I’ve never heard of that before. What does the ATF do for the fuel/engine.

@jimbritt2874 5 ай бұрын

@WildRoverSailing It cleans the fuel system and lubricates the engine valves

Thanks for posting. I have to change mine in 2024 as a further step toward having a easy starting engine. Mine was getting pretty hard to start in the cool fall weather but it would start so I decided to not fiddle with the unknown because I had to motor to the haul-out slip and needed the engine one last time. Not sure I will get to it over the winter. 1) Noted about washers under the yoke nuts. 2) Was there a compressible washer between the injector and the head? 3) I hope my injector pops out as easily as yours did. I have a reconditioned injector assembly to go in. I was expecting some springs inside when you took it apart? Cleaning seemed simple enough and there was nothing to adjust? 4) Did you bleed the fuel system prior to starting? It wasn't mentioned in the video, I assume it would NOT START without bleeding the air out. Bliss SYC

@WildRoverSailing 10 ай бұрын

Thanks for your comments. 1. Yeah don’t loose the washers! 2. It’s possible. I’d have to look at the shop drawing of the engine. I was pondering this after I did the job and was editing the video. If there is one, it was in good shape and doesn’t leak. 3. It came out surprisingly easily. But I’ve seen where someone will turn over the engine with the nuts loose to break the injector out with compression. 4. No bleeding was needed. It’s far enough down the line that the only tubing left is the tank return. Since recording this video in 2020, I’ve had additional issues with hard starting, especially when it’s cold. I’ve since replaced the injector ($50 on Amazon for a pack of 6) with little improvement. Lots of soot in the exhaust, loss of power and it takes a long time to come up to speed. I think the head gasket need replacing. That will be my next engine video. Why pay someone to do something I can figure out. Cheers.

@WildRoverSailing 8 ай бұрын

Good luck with it. My engine issues turned out to not be injector related, so by process of elimination, my next attempt at correcting this will be replacement of the head gasket. Hope that does the trick.

@WildRoverSailing Жыл бұрын

No worries there. It’s steep and the harbour owner launches much larger boats than mine this way, with fixed rudders.

I just bought one. It was a risk as I have never heard of these boats, but I do love Kirby designs. She goes in this summer. Anxious and excited to see how she sails! Great video. Thanks for sharing!

@WildRoverSailing 2 жыл бұрын

There’s no risk. They are awesome boats with C&C quality. The only issues are the toe rails leak and usually need tightening or re bedding. And watch for hardware leaks which can saturate the balsa coded decks. Enjoy the boat! Where are you located?

When she's running at 5 knots off the wind with a bit of a swell, I can get her to surf fairly easily and will touch 7,8,9 knots but thats a rare event.

Hi Great video! Question, I've been crewing on a Mk 3 and it is impossible to get it to plane under any conditions, how's the hull shape of this version compared to the older ones?

I shot this with an older Kodak HD camera but have since upgraded to a GoPro. The wee camera was mounted to a spider leg type tripod which can easily be moved about the deck.

We missed the biggies. We motored through about 3 small line squalls. It was fascinating watching them forming over our heads. I had tried out a new reefing setup that spring that turned out to be useless. Sailing would have been a lot smoother. I need a storm jib.

@smp22 The deck is cored throughout with balsa and foam. It's actually quite thick at the cabin top winch location. Good old C&C go thick or go home construction. One core area I need to address is below the port aft jib track. The gelcoat cracked there last year making me think that it may be wet. That was the only hardware I did not remove.

@MrInthenameofthefree She has a Yanmar 1GM10. Part of the reno involved pulling the cutlass bearing, polishing the prop shaft and aligning the engine for vibration. I still need to replace an engine mount however but she runs tip-top.

@smp22 13 жыл бұрын

Am I seeing this correctly, no core under that winch on the cabin top? Have you had any core problems on the deck otherwise? Good job on the boat, she's beautiful
