Adventures of an old Seadog 'Liferaft, engine, liferaft engine and plotter fix Epi 32

[@roryvonbrutt7302]

I can't believe I finally found this one, and I thought I've seen them all, but here is a brand new one, while still being an old one,❗️ "old seadog"..... icon‼️®™️ 👏👏👏 BRILLIANT❗️

[@AfricanFlightStar]

Love the determination to get it all done, esp fixing that RayMarine unit, most wld have chucked it. Now every time you use it I'll bet you get that warm & fuzzy feeling 😄 kinda like rescuing a stray dog from the animal shelter ☺️👍🏼

[@DiegoSanchez-yn5kb]

Never judge a book by its cover, especially an engine. For the most part, it's what's on the inside that'll make all the difference.

[@SailBeforeSunset]

Really liked this one. You're on track to being an engineer and a mechanic! Great piece about the life raft, too.

[@Cluni-80s]

owning a boat is a LOT of work. i always enjoy your videos :)

[@AdventuresofanoldSeadog]

Cheers James. Thanks for watching.

[@Vlad-wl3fw]

A lot of work and a lot of money. Then one reef and it's all gone.

[@thomasms-escape8828]

Brilliant, good luck all time, greatings from the netherlands

[@n7gn]

Barry, thanks for sharing the reality of sailing. Very informative.

[@AdventuresofanoldSeadog]

Cheers.

I loved how cynical the guy testing your raft was about some of the items in it.. pure gold! A tip: When you're getting a life raft serviced/tested, if you ask, they can usually include some small items supplied by you to go inside it, with the rest of the raft kit. For example, some old spare glasses, in case you don't think/have time to grab yours before abandoning ship. (But there *should* be spare glasses in your ditch-bag anyway, right?)

[@arekkaniewski4442]

Hey, I I like your series so far. Bit of advice regarding the sea water pump. Most pumps , including ''tis one will leak first through telltale holes to let you know the seals protecting crankcase from sea water intrusion. I periodically check for water dripping out as that's when you need to replace seals. If water gets in, it will make it into the oil and cylinder. Perhaps that was the source of the smoke. Water as it's compressed will generate some damage, smoke and loss of compression. Fair winds and see you out there. Cheers from Canada

[@robertslowiak2303]

That old water pump has seen its days!

[@johnschofield2818]

Ta Barry. Well done with the plotter. Found I never had the problem with paper charts. :-)

[@greglewis2398]

Great job Barry!😎

[@slvance2]

Brillant plotter fix Sea Dog. You the man!

[@carlosLozanosilvercharlio]

Hi Barry...I follow your adventures from the Gulf of Mexico in the Laguna Madre. I would like some day sailing with you in your boat. Greetings from Mexico.

[@AdventuresofanoldSeadog]

Carlos, If I am ever in your area you are welcome on board. Cheers

[@MrDswampymarsh]

great as always . looking forward to your next video

[@greglewis2398]

Like that. Talk like Shawn Conrey.😉

[@theadventuresofseanomad8690]

I've just managed to get an original Pugwash Pirate for my boat! They are becoming very rare, but a must to have on board i feel as if theres already a pirate on board, no other pirates will. Thats going on my channel when he arrives.

[@qb6025]

8:30 more important, to have sleeping matrass and pump, warm clothes, thermal foil blankets, sleeping bags, 7mm wetsuit,

[@normanboyes4983]

Great video Barry with a cliff hanger too.😀 Was it just a loose connector on the plotter screen? Well done with that anyway.👍I noticed on the replacement water pump that there were a few screws missing from the pump end plate - did you sort that? Are you going to refurb the old one - a bit of shot blasting, paint and a new mechanical seal and you will be good to go. Thanks for all your hard work and sharing a well crafted video.😀

[@finnsailing69]

6:00 that filter goes by the CAV-296 in 99% of the world, it can also be found from tractor supply shops

[@jeanneauowners]

Love the diving beanie!!

[@gordon6029]

Thanks Barry.

[@emmanuelsamaras8974]

Perkins is now owned by Volvo Penta. Impelled never last forever. Hard to replace and find correct ones.

[@philrusciano115]

you are a f***ing genius keep going I enjoy your video's I wish there was a a table of contents so I could follow vids in line.

[@AfricanFlightStar]

Phil Rusciano There is - just go to his channel, click the 'Videos' tab, then sort by oldest first. It will list all the videos in date order. Nice thing about Barry is that he always puts the Episode Number on every video, so it's easy to follow in the proper sequence. Most other sailing channels don't do this. Another Old Seadog advantage 😄

[@budroberts5929]

About engines being clean: sometimes that's an indication of good maintenance. However, the engine being clean on the outside only means it is clean on the outside. It means nothing about its mechanical condition inside. Clean outside can be hiding problems inside.

[@johnkirbymobileautoelectri4321]

Perkins 4236? Dam good engine

[@thomasveilleux2652]

You should have akite in every emergency kit its easier if a plane is looking for you at sea

[@joannshuttleworth6359]

You have mostly slime on the bottom, but be careful! If you end up having barnacles you can get some nasty cuts from them!! They are slow to heal. rinse with vinegar, follower by an anti biotic. I never do a scrubbing without gloves.

[@jonellsworth132]

Re: Fluid for refilling a compass I had to refill an autometer procomp liquid filled gauge a few years ago. Took a whole lot of research, but it ended up being a $3 bottle of glycerin from the drugstore. I know it's not the same thing, but maybe it helps.

[@cyclingwithkiwi3956]

cool as all ways Barry

[@gs9976]

So glad you're posting videos again :)

[@AdventuresofanoldSeadog]

Cheers William.

[@hepburn118]

Maybe add a few solar stills to the raft in case you end up in it for longer than you planned on? Fishing gear too?

[@gatesgoza9703]

Your Deisel looks terrible how is you tank and fuel lines, injector hates your deisel. Your a good mechanic keep turning the nuts. I enjoy all your videos. What’s Barry working today? Boat and Beer!

[@mowhoknow5098]

Good Sean Connery

[@robfraley4210]

Hard to believe just how Dirty the Bottom of the boat is already...

[@edl617]

i thought the fellow was going to pull the lanyard to inflate it. I watch those canister life rafts on Navy ships test a life raft selected by random pull the lanyard. What a noise

[@trevorward9680]

Hi Barry, surprised to hear you say the engine was in good shape, it was billowing blue smoke and burning oil half a dozen episodes back, has that been resolved now?

[@AdventuresofanoldSeadog]

Still the same Trevor. Along as It goes 'broom broom' and spins the prop I'll live with it!!

[@garypyle4626]

How did you get your chart plotter lines to go away?? Any youtube video you can recommend??? THANKS!! Really enjoy your adventures and reality shared!!!!!

[@AdventuresofanoldSeadog]

Googled it. It's a common problem of a loose screw. Watch the next video there is more. Cheers.

[@johntchb]

hope you didnt get them spark plugs for the perkins.dem perkins make good engines.I would recon the old water pump,try and have a spare always.do you have your own scuba equip?

[@AdventuresofanoldSeadog]

Hi Jay, yes scuba on the boat. Re Perkins, I poor oil in the top and it pours it out the bottom, it's a working relationship we have!!

[@johntchb]

i thought that when you mentioned clean engines,i prefer a bit of oil.is it a 3.8 perkins do you know?

[@mickpercival]

hi barry what was the blue smoke you mentioned on an earlier episode

[@AdventuresofanoldSeadog]

Cant remember, probably my engine!!

[@robfraley4210]

mickpercival it WAS the Engine, he had been running it to much Trying to cross the Bicyne bay in bad 💨

[@cousinjack2841]

@@AdventuresofanoldSeadog You said it was burning oil and that doesn't fix itself...(diesel mechanic) Just interested. Glad to see you've got a proper diesel; not one of those clattery Yanmars....

[@rodgermathews1178]

I recall you mentioning blue smoke while motoring, and that usually means engine sump oil getting into the combustion chamber (I'm a gas engine mechanic, mind you). Also, in the diving footage, Shadow's bottom appears to be blue...was that shot before last video's haul-out? (The binge-watching continues...)

[@AdventuresofanoldSeadog]

The paint is now all gone and she's blue again. Anti fouling doesn't last long. Cheers

[@rodgermathews1178]

Adventures of an old Seadog ...Good to hear from you, Cap'n...Safe in Barbados, I hope? I've only had "dunker boats/trailer sailors," so no experience with anti-fouling. Really looking forward to new videos!

[@shanemartin1300]

when you gonna sail to halifax nova scotia ??
