How often do you need to empty the grey water for two people?
@CaptainKevWright Ай бұрын
We have 80 gallons total capacity so we can usually last about a month. For times when we are home more, like over Christmas vacation when we aren’t going to work we may need to empty as often as two weeks.

Hey are you two still living year round on the boat? Maybe this is a longshot, but would you ever be up for giving a tour of the living situation and marina set up in person? As a basically lifelong boater, I am really interested in exploring the liveaboard life. I live in Pilsen, so it would be convenient for me. Cheers!

They were paper gaskets. Next time (hope there isn't one but....) a paper grocery sack can be used, you can buy gasket material and make your own....waiting two months.... Wow.

I have gasket material, but I like things to be put together with stock parts. I’ve never had great luck making gaskets that don’t leak.

Does the river ever freeze up? Wondering what that would do to the boat.
@CaptainKevWright 9 ай бұрын
The river freezes but only in bitter cold. The marina water freezes too, but there are bubblers under each slip that keep the water moving and it doesn’t freeze in the slips. Apparently fiberglass boats can flex and lift up a bit when there’s ice so they aren’t as likely to be damaged as aluminum. But we’d prefer not to test that theory!
@mikeanonymous669 9 ай бұрын
Poor preventative maintenance practices and lack of knowledge. Any auto parts store has rolls of gasket material to make your own replacement gaskets. All else fails red rtv does it all.
@badlands555 8 ай бұрын

Yes the river can freeze, in fact it froze for a little over a week this January 2024. But we have bubblers underneath our slips that keep the water in motion and don’t allow the boats to freeze in the slips.

Hi nice video. Not a nice feeling running low on fuel. I've learnt that lesson. I wish you slowed down the removal of the carbs as it is a job I have to do. I'm worried Ill put the links back and the boat will run rough. Can you do a video showing the carb removal and repairs. Thanks all the way from Australia

Thanks! I’ve got the boat in storage for a while so no new videos coming soon but I do need to do more work this spring or summer and hopefully I can give you a better look at the carbs.

Did no one tell you about the water front commission, they allow only a certain number of live aboards per each marina for environmental reasons and the wait list for a live aboard slip is years long. I live on my 30’ Ericson in Berkeley, in California slip fees average about $10 a foot without live aboard , that adds another $200 per month. 🤙🤙🤙🐮☮️

Just buy the tool for a few bucks to pump in new gear oil makes it a lot easier. Anyway i have the 88 70 hp Evinrude version pf this motor. Runs pretty good. Ran some seafoam through it and that seemed to help it run a bit smoother. Still has a rough idle so may need to do a carb cleaning. Went it runs though it is very smooth and pushes my little bumble pretty good.

Are you sure it's 50% more? On Marina Del Rey's website it says: "Liveaboard fees are 50% of the basic slip rate." So then is that a lie? If not that would mean he has a huuge boat
