So this video seems to share the exact temp numbers the first version did. Like you just used the same video before the modifications. Numbers didn't change at all. Didn't discuss the differences like you just threw the video together. What happened?

If I was comfortable climbing on my second story roof, I think I could totally do this. Alas, I’m back to my search for the ever elusive rumored-extinct swamp cooler repairman. :/

Great video, I like it! I have the Intex Excursion. It’s been folded up in the storage. I’m going to make mine like yours. 😊

Best video I've watched on maintenance of a swap cooler..Question, wouldn't it be a good idea to put a mineral filter before the water shoot thing...Just so calcium/lime doesn't build up on the pads and in the drain pan? it seems like they all suffer from mineral buildup...

Yes sir you showed me everything I needed to know thank you.

It is durable i dont feel it safe

Recommend loosening the new anode rod (remove and reinstall with some pipe dope) so you can get it out in 2-3 years. Your water is eating those anode rods, so play to replace every 2 years or so. If you have removed it before, it is much easier to get out than one that's been rusting in place for a long time. Also recommend replacing the drain valve with a full port valve; best is a short brass nipple (3-4" long), a full port ball valve (threaded in/out), a second nipple (2"), a street 45 deg fitting, a hose adapter nipple (3/4" IPS to 3/4 GHT) and a cap. About $25 in fittings what you can use from tank to tank. This will give a much better success at annual flushing as the passages are much larger than the one supplied from the factory. If you flush every year, and change the anode rod before it's gone, you should get a lot of life out of the new heater. Actually, the old heater looks like it could have just used an anode rod, a better flush valve, and some maintenance -- but that doesnt make for good youtube videos :)... Good luck

Thank you for this video. So many folks always harping on about using vinegar from getting rid of scum off tiles to curing cancer! I'm sure Neil Armstrong took a bottle to the moon in case of...something. However, your video justifies it! I would've bet my bottom dollar that the vinegar would've come last in your test but this is just so surprising. Made my day. Thanks again.

Great video. I agree that if the races are still in good shape, just reuse them. Assuming the races are not rusty/pitted/scored etc, they are a bit of a pain to swap. Renting the bearing/race punch tool makes the job easier, as well as throwing the races in the freezer overnight. The new Xike bearings in the kit are definitely well made. I swapped mine after 8 years of neglect, It was time to upgrade before the inevitable happened. Thanks for the instructions. Cheers

A year later, how's everything holding up? Would you do anything differently now?

The sound reduction is nice, but this will burn your generator up

what happens though when carpet gets wet

Love it!

This is a remix from my full video of all of the boat mods I made for my Seahawk 4! Check out the full video to see them all.

Where do you set the regulator ?

Hey Fred.. If you still want to use the outboard, you can set up a brace from the transom to the floor boards. That way the rear board becomes the hull and the tubes are just flotation. Always love your videos!

Nice fish! lol

Love your videos about this inspired me to make my own last year … thank you ☺️

Thank you for the part and pricing list in the beginning! Great video

How long to you let the primer set/dry before you can apply glue?

DUDE!!! From a 59 yr old single woman? THANK YOU!!! Last year I was given a free swamp cooler, it squeeled like crazy, figured out it was the bearings, I just kept spraying oil in there LOL Not in the flap, didnt even KNOW about those. LOL Im replacig bearings and belt today. hell float valve too. Thank you so much for your easy to understand video.

Great video - thanks! Yes, very easy to follow. But you can't just buy a replacement pan?? Holy cow, I'm not trying to spend 2 or 3 weeks, welding, priming, painting, etc. if the pan just needs replacing..right? Or do they sell plastic liners of some sort?

Thank you for your video, I wanr to buy a marine 4 intex, and it is much heavier than yours, with the same 50ah battery and motor, do you think that it will fit ? And if so, how much do I go with it?

Do you have a question about any of my boat mods? Leave a comment and tell me what you think or ask me a question and I will do my best to answer!

Yeah that’s more of a braze than weld, as it doesn’t melt the base metals. Quite strong result, though, likely due to good prep. For AC Tig aluminum welding it is critical to brush through the aluminum oxide, and not induce any contaminants. Stainless steel brush, cleaned either with isopropyl alcohol or acetone, and only used for prepping aluminum…

What size and where can i get tose cheater lens?

A triangular design where just 2 pieces join together over it like a high roof might be a better option so to let air get in more efficiently

Shouldn’t you have used conventional oil for your break in?

If you put a very light outboard on it it might be ok. You can get a Honda GX 35, only weight 9.5 kg. Not massive top speed about 4.5 mph but that's enough for that inflatable boat.

I still wish you were working on a 40” x 40” roof mount unit that has every problem going wrong that you can imagine. But you’re giving me good ideas. Plus your general attitude is refreshing.

I was literally 30 seconds into this video when I realized that this was the man who I was looking for. Unfortunately, the other 20 videos I watched were basically a waste of time. It is quite difficult finding such specific videos. Although I did not need all of the information that you supplied in this video you made it pleasant to watch. Even stuff that I already knew was still entertaining to hear you talk about and see how you do it. The square bolt-3/8 socket thing was so simple but I was too pissed off to think about some thing that easy at the time I was working on the unit. Anyway, thank you.

Как то криво получилось, припой не растекается

Size 15???😳

The shed didnt absorb the sound, it just deflected it. I think a soft foam inside the shed would work better.

Hola me e suscrito porke me parece interesantes las comparaciónes ke haces y porque me acabo de comprar un seahawk 3 y aora kiero el motor y la batería y me gustaría saber ke puedo ponerle funcionamiento de bateria y motor y demas cosas te mando un saludo desde Vitoria Gasteiz comunidad del pais vasco norte de la península

I love the fact that so many people who own generators are going to do this and FRY THEIR MACHINES!!!

looks like...

will the floor protect you against violent agressive evil sharks?

I have a different issue. Our bedroom is above the garage and it gets too cold in winters. Can I use this material to block the cold by using it on the garage door.

I just changed the oil in mine for the first time at 498hrs 😂. I didn’t even know these had an hour meter on them. Has been bullet proof since I bought it. Runs for days non-stop from the minute we set up camp

Does a this need to be registered if you have a electric motor on it I live in the state of Maryland and the laws are a bit confusing

I do not see the link to the RV cable you are using shown at the end of the video and also the 1/4 Flip coupling link is broken

Gorilla glue has done a great job of marketing their glues, but they aren’t very good. I don’t use any of their glues

Hahah so don't build any. Buy a quieter generator

Привет. На какой скорости ты шел? на максимальной? спасибо.

Thank you. Very easy to replace.

I'm off to the store to get a ton of vinegar thanks! :)

What if it overheats and or catches on fire.

I'd punch some holes in your aluminum tube or something similar. One, to suck in cold air further away from the fan. Two, on case that melts enough it is mostly water the hose can be submersed and the fan could push water up the hose. I'm going to build one but replace all of that ice with frozen drinking water. My RV freezer can freeze two at a time to add in as I use up the half frozen bottles inside. Maybe burying the aluminum hose between frozen bottles. How many hours can your fan hold a charge?

Mr Fred’s DIY Garage School, I love this! Can we be friends?
