the only thing you have to do to cut s.st. is slow down. a hard additive like chrome will make a soft alloy. s.st. is soft but sticky. a soft alloy like lead will make a hard alloy like bronze. hard and brittle. no heat=no coolant needed, sticky materials need lube. overheating will make your drill stick to s.st. part ans harden it(a hard facing). because high speed steel is very easy to harden. yes a drill bit can melt and stick to your part even tho you can't see it. smoke---->too late, it's done. i often compare s.st. to plasticine.

Your clothes will smell good after your shit in the bucket

Take a shit in the bucket with your clothes ha

Use viniger to deodorize along with cheap soap. Dishwashing liquid works good with vinegar.

Yall wild n out

I need to rebed deck hatches and I’m Overwhelmed by variety of sealants. Looks like I should use silicone or 3M’s 4000 UV. any input? Thanks!

The video shows applying di electric grease to the electrical contact sufaces of the wire and the plug. Why would anyone put an insulating grease between two conductors. Make the connection first then put the grease on to protect it.

What would you recommend for a rub rail? I'm restoring a 1976 Bayliner Bucaneer. Major leaking from the rub rail. I have it all prepped to reinstall. I am not sure what sealant to keep the water out.

Great thanks

I’m sorry, good video, but why does everyone start diagnosing at the sender? Think simple, work from key to gauge to sender, then complete system is checked. Turn key on, check for power and ground at gauge, if good then ground out gauge on back, gauge should peg. If no power/ground, fix first. If gauge doesn’t peg gauge is bad. NOW go to sender, ground out with key on, if it pegs sender bad, if it doesn’t wiring to gauge is bad. There, simple complete system diagnosed. Again sorry, but there are more videos on KZbin that they all start at the sender. And just for info, there are rare times the gauge will peg but still be bad. Retired 40 year marine tech.

Your videos are very helpful. We just started our rehab on our boat. Any ideas you may have will always help. Please keep creating. Cruising Carolina is our name.

Those plungers work but I also suggest getting a detachable mop and using it as an agitator I use a swiffer jet and just took of the mop part and it works pretty good.

How big is this unit I want to put on bike if possible

The water is serving as a lubricant, but as you mentioned, it serves as a great coolant. It takes a lot of heat to flash water into steam and oil doesn’t go through the same phase change as water and it is the phase change that really absorbs the heat.

Thank you Captain Wayne ,it was very informative. Some issues I did not know: The wiring thickness measuring ! Making no curves and calculating only 50% of the capacity of the pump.... that is something no commercial web site tells you. From the Netherlands : Dank U.

Thanks

With all the wires to the battery terminated at a central fuse block, it's a simple process to remove the block from the battery if the battery ever has to be pulled or replaced. Pop in the new battery and make one connection for all the circuits.

9 Years later this info still is the best option of chooses

I’m amazed you still respond to the comments This video was 8 years ago And I must say You did a wonderful Job The holes make a big difference Thanks for your video

dudes are gonna watch this video and say HELL YEAH

Thanks I used nearly four drills before drilling using oil lubricant and took a long time

brilliant

Why don't just tie the dirty clothes about 4'-5' behind the propeller, the propeller acts as an agitator. Do your laundry when you plan to do some boating around, that way, you can kill three birds with one stone because you can save money on your laundry detergent as well.

Thank you, Captain! This has been a big help.

I am looking for a sealant that would be extremely resistant to mould and mildew. Which would you recommend? Thanks

Thanks Captain 🫡

Need to seal my keel shield. What should I use?

TQ Sir

I’m getting ready to install a new tilt trim motor on my boat. Even though it has a oring I also want to apply a sealant around the flange for extra sealing from salt water. Which brand and type do you recommend to use

Ok thats not bad, but did I miss the finished job pics? Ive done this on my headlights before and they look awesome when finished but Ive never used this product or kit so Id like to see the results. Cheers.

Most of this is actually misinformation. To begin, there are lots of different alloys of stainless steel with different compositions. And... using water as a coolant (not a lubricant) generally results in microfractures at the cutting edge, shortening tool life. And... HSS (especially with cobalt) has extremely good hot hardness. Only carbon steel is likely to lose its hardness under ordinary use with handheld tooling. Please understand what you're doing before you give, or accept, any advice about things like this.

After watching this whole video it would be nice to see the end result.... how do we know that any of this worked to make it clearer?

I’m a carpenter and I hate that vinegar smell from some silicone products. Now I know they’re inferior!! I had a feeling lol smells nasty. Cool info man 👍🏻

Perfect How-to video! Got my laughing like an SOB half way through it 😂

Really helpful. The only video I found that was. Thank you!

Hey! I tried to email you about a year and a half ago I’m a boat builder and found your videos very helpful at the beginning of my journeys as a marine technician. Glad to see you’re doing well, congrats on your new book. I’ll be sure to get a copy

Most excellent instruction. Works great!

The key to cutting stainless is a sharp bit, keep it cool, and drill slow. If you don't see metal shaving coming off of the piece, STOP. Once you work harden it, you are hosed.

What was the fault on your unit

Thanks, dude!!!

Hi Capt Wayne. Great video and thanks for posting! My boat had terrible looking backing plates and the seacocks frankly scare me, so I'm changing them all out (1975 Westsail 28). Everything I know about seacocks and thru hulls, I learned from youtube and trial by fire. Here's my question: Do I need to gel coat the outside hull if I sanded some of it or can I 5200 that when I'm installing the new thru hull? I sanded because there are lots of layers of bottom paint and I didn't think it would be so great to try to bond the through hull over top of all that paint.

Thank you

Thanks, i will check, what is the problem

Thanks for an outstanding video/tutorial, I can now more confidently salvage some cords!

Whats good for triumph boats?

Awesome video and explanation of all details. I subscribed. thanks

You're really good at this. It's so rare to find this breadth of information in such a concise explanation. Eight years later, this video is still fantastic.

This is like looking up how to cook an egg, and the instructions begin with the genetic evolution of the chicken.
