Sure did! We put it into our main engine and through our Dickinson diesel stove. We have a water separator, then a 10 micron diesel filter in line once the fuel is poured into the main boat tank. But the rust, water and sludge that the funnel filtered out was unbelievable!! We were super broke and couldn't afford to loose that much fuel. Even so, if we thought the filtered fuel would clog up the main engine, we would NEVER have put it through. Motors are way too expensive to risk!! Let us know if you have any other questions!!

Yes, we had one on a previous fishboat and LOVE it. My wife is usually on anchor so she really loves it. We found this one on Marketplace for $1500cdn. It has a tank less hydraulic system. You can find them all over the coast from the fishing fleet. We have 100 feet of 3/4" rope underneath, then 300 feet of 1/2" chain. What kind of ground tackle do you have? Thanks for watching and the comment!

Up with the birds

@donmorton7295 Sure any time as I like do them. ..lol

Thanks!! The view is amazing, but it takes some courage! That day Neal climbed it 3 times!!

@schoonerkiva I bet he like the view so he had to do it three times

No we didn't do that. Although probably a good idea, we were so tired, smelly and filthy by the end of it that we never thought of that. The fuel did look good and we ran it through the main engine. We let it sit for a few days before that in the Jerry cans to look for water. There was nothing. Thanks for watching and commenting!! Melanie and Neal

Thanks guys!"😍 Next time, should we bring the critters over to your boat for a visit before releasing them? Decker can give your marine biology lecture in person! 🪼🪼

Hi Stephane! Thanks for asking! Pull up the lever beside the chimney to heat up the oven. That closes the flap inside the stove, which allows the heat to go up the chimney. Instead, it redirects the heat around the oven box. Close the oven door. Our stove needs to be on setting 2 or higher to cook. A frozen pizza on setting 2 takes 20-30mins. You can smell when it starts cooking. Once you are finished cooking, push the damper (lever beside the chimney) down. Despite what you may think, don't operate the stove regularly with the damper pulled up. It doesn't keep the heat in the way you might think. What actually happens is a reduction in airflow to the flame box, and the flame box soots up with charcoal. Yes, we have done it, and yes it is a MESS to clean up! Good luck and let me know if you have any other questions! Melanie

They are all doing fine thanks for asking.

Lol!! You are the first of many to tell me!! I was awake for about 10 mins when I filmed that!! Thanks for watching!!

Yup, agreed! Those cookies lasted maybe 3 hours!

@@schoonerkiva as long as that. They would not that long. I have a soft spot for cookies especially home made ones. Look forward to more videos. I am trying to put a few together about what I am doing on my projects.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 thanks for leaving a comment!!!

We're just doing a repair unit we could get on the hard.

It was just nerves, anxiety and my wild imagination seeing pictures of doom! Lol! Shhhh! Don't tell Neal, but I might love sailing!

Neal knows and soon you and the crew can put up more sails..

Whales are at the end. I was so excited and surprised to see them that close, that it was really hard to get any good footage. Plus guessing where a moving animal might pop up at any given moment is fun too! 🤷‍♀️

I saw the big whale in the front of the boat swinging. How many did you see?
