[@michaelpilling9659]

Hello You Three - greetings from Poland I'm so very sorry about the broken engine mounting. I think if the damage had been caused when you got that sacking wrapped round the propeller, you would have heard to mounting go. On the video, it didn't look like a relatively new break. I think it's been there for a long time. I would be more than happy to make a contribution towards the cost - 1000GBP is a lot of money to find. Loved your "naughty dinner", new overalls (James Bond action change!) and super clean floor plate. Good Luck with the record issue too. A wonderful video. Full of your usual sunshine, fun and laughter and Alan of course. Stay safe please.

[@BenandEmily]

Hello Michael, thank you for your lovely comment as always :) We're trying to figure it out but i looked at some photos of the engine bay not long before the sack incident and it was fine so i think maybe in moment of mayhem as the sack got caught it did happen then! Thats very kind of you to offer to help, please don't feel you have to but if you would like we do have a buy me a coffee account www.buymeacoffee.com/benandemily . Yes the overalls are brilliant! and only £7 each! We couldn't not get them, even if they are HUGE on Emily 😄 So happy your'e enjoying our videos. Take care and all the best, Ben, Emily and Alan

Hi from the north west corner of washington state. I'm a new to vewing your vlog and im injoying your layed back travels, Im not unhappy you didnt get a house in the country and we probably woundnt have herd of Ben and Emily and the hairy Alen. Your wheather is very much like ours it locks you in and you have to us your imagination to escape, Im doing the same with a motorhome. Safe and fun travels.

[@RunOfTheHind]

Use the waffles as the bun. I do it with cod steaks. I call it one-handed fish 'n' chips.

[@YolaWells]

Love your vids love the cat you are so down to earth real thankyou

[@truethought369]

Hi Ben & Emily, If you won't to stop rainwater getting into your engine bay, make a small frame to rase the cover above the floor, so that water will run past & out though drain holes at the stern. The other way to keep out rainwater, is to buy a small 12 volt savage pump fitted with a micro-switch, operated by a float. this is how boats at sea keep the water out. Have a great day. Thanks.

[@BenandEmily]

Thanks for the tips !

[@philp2088]

Another great video, take care. I can't wait for the upcoming Daevid Allen video 😀

[@Andrea29987]

That’s near me…. I live over the hill near the rugby club in a village called tatenhill. Next time you are this way go to the bridge inn near the mooring you had. The food is lovely (Italian). X

[@nancinowlen3043]

Good luck with your repair. Wonderful that your Dad can come and boat and cat sit.

[@BenandEmily]

He is kind to do so 😊

[@S.p.a.c.e.C.o.w.b.o.y]

Hello, Question for your next Q&A. How do you juggle the boat and the van? Watching your episodes you seem to moor up and like magic your van turns up. 😅 Much love 😊

[@beasmith1]

I don't know if a toaster is expensive to run off grid, but I put waffles in the toaster 1 & a half times, then they're done. Cheaper than putting them in the oven. Haven't tried them in the air fryer, but I would have thought they would still be cheaper done in the toaster x

[@slidersadventures2979]

Hello again from the foothills of Mt Rainer, Washington state. Always enjoy the updates on your vlog ❤️ Well hopefully you will be able to get your engine issues sorted and not cost you to much 🤞as always sending out a ton of love and positive thoughts and prayers dear family 🙏❤️💐

[@BenandEmily]

Thanks so much, that is thoughtful of you ♥️ It all gets sorted but I will save the solutions for the upcoming videos ♥️

as a mechanic, an engine mount isnt a big issuue nor expensive, but its important its dealt with quickly othewise you engine will vibratte

[@annjarvis9300]

Awwww si very sorry for yr troubles hooe it get sorted very soon you looked so sad n down with the news chin up both n tc now Ann n David👍🤞🙏🏻

[@BenandEmily]

Yes all good in the end 😊♥️ Thank you Ann and David

[@joemarion2284]

In one of first videos on your channel, you can see the mount has a crack. It may not have broken completely through but it is visibly cracked.

[@LifeOnWater_]

Haven’t watched this yet, but just wanted to say how much I love your videos, I look forward to them going up every week !

[@BenandEmily]

Thanks so much Life on Water 😊 It means a lot

[@BenandEmily]

Thank you so much!! So happy you're enjoying our videos :)

[@mjallenuk]

I'm a former mechanic (and have a garage full of related gear to go with) and I'm always amazed at the damage you can sustain from sudden shock loads. Surprised it went for the bracket and not the mount mind. Ah well best off knowing than not...

[@Paul.simpson84]

Guys, you could just mix baking soda and vinegar.... paint it onto the plate leave it for 5 or 10 minutes and then wipe it off with the scouring side of a washing up sponge. PS this works on pretty much any hard surface. We use it all the time to clean the UPVC of old grime on houses we renovate.

[@Paul.simpson84]

by the way I have also had the idea of using those metal things in the drill and it was near impossible to control.

[@ruwoodholz6752]

Grime house metal, a new direction . Next album

[@BenandEmily]

Yes it is a mental tool..

[@BenandEmily]

Ok will try that... I will try any thing haha

[@debrandw246]

Congratulations on your album Benny.

[@stephenbowker824]

Hi hope all goes well with the album as it should 🎉. When in business I had a couple of pickups with aluminium and they came up great with traffic film remover. The channels on your rear deck look like drains that drain overboard via flexible pipe we’re always cleaning ours leaves and dog hairs. Keep vlogging 👍👍

[@wharfedalehome]

Emily - this is a comment not directly about your vlog, but about your Etsy on-line shop. You have just sent me two little peas in a pod (for my partner obviously) and a whole family of peas in their pod as well (this for my daughter, her partner and her children). They are lovely and I know that both my partner and my daughter, both daft as brushes, will be delighted with their presents too. So thank you - Tim

[@BenandEmily]

Aww lovely, thank you so much for buying from my shop! I hope everyone loves their peas!

[@annwatrous1289]

Still watching from beginning

[@Curve2Theatre]

When your Album gets to number 1 you can buy a new Boat ! Hope it all gets sorted out soon and you can then look forward to years of Laid-back crusing . The overalls will keep you warm in the winter.

[@BenandEmily]

That's the attitude I like! Thanks 😊♥️

[@leejentaylor6195]

because after a while of scratching the follicles of hair on the cat start to hurt cause they are swished in the wrong direction to the lay of the hair - like if you've ever had a hat on for too long and it has swished some hair in the wrong direction...

[@Berry-fr5wj]

I will have something of what you are drinking

[@lynnedeegan4077]

Yes my cat dislikes it's hair being rubbed the wrong way, will only tolerate it for a shirt while

[@BenandEmily]

Thanks Leejan, she's funny, she asks for belly rubs and enjoys it for a while then suddenly decides she doesn't any more 😄 will keep this in mind

[@csjmoore]

Boats, being boats, break much too much costing us our green. Thanks for the episode.

[@BenandEmily]

You got that right! Thanks for watching :)

[@taffychips]

Safety glasses with those Chinese wire wheels if you value your sight

[@iankynaston-richards883]

Over a grand? That's a bit steep to fix an engine bracket. You could take that off yourselves, get it welded back together - £50 max.

[@BenandEmily]

It was the cost for the gearbox work and parts as well, and no we cant weld or have the tools or know how required to do that job. And it didn't cost that much in the end any way 😊

[@5635randy]

Install a automatic bilge pump this would make life easy no more vac

[@shauncorless8965]

That's what boat stands for,,, brake out another thousand .

[@leelavrov5456]

While your engines out it's a great time to use some rustzilla Rust hardener and repaint your engine compartment. And possibly the motor too. Good luck

[@ethelmini]

Doubt they remove the engine, just lift it enough to get at the mounts without it dropping through the bottom of the boat when they're all loose.

[@BenandEmily]

Thank you, engine doesn't have to be removed thankfully😊

[@richarddavidjohn6803]

That engine mount breaking and engine dropping might be putting pressure on the drive plate making the noise because it’s out of alignment. That engine mount leg looks a bit on the underengineered side. I’d get it welded up and reinforced.

[@BenandEmily]

Yes the mechanics suggested that also, and we get it sorted in a good way as you will see in our up coming videos..

[@sharoncampbell206]

,LOVE the whole package! I just smile my face off with pure peace and enjoyment of both the vlog, and the wonderful music. SO glad I found you two. ..and ALAN.

If you can buy some chemical metal, this way if you have metal break, you can do a temporary fix. Saying that it lasted on our Land rover step for 3 year's lol, and is still going now. 11 years on. Take care and Blessings XXX

Thank you! I know she is so funny isn'y she...

[@kristiecolon542]

Ben you are so funny! You both are great!

[@neilfoster814]

Sorry to say this, but that engine mount would have been a pretty easy fix for an engineer (wink wink). I suspect that sack getting wrapped around the prop could have done that because even though your engine is only small, it will still have a significant amount of torque when the prop got stopped dead. I've seen small diesel engines shred flexi couplings when the prop hit something solid in the canal. Diesel engines have very heavy flywheels with a lot of momentum, which can be enough to shear propshafts or snap propeller blades clean off!

[@jimfields3351]

Wishing you the best of luck on your engine service. Better to know now than latter.

[@BenandEmily]

Thanks Jim 😊

[@lisakenn2081]

I wondered where my lifetime bag of hair had gone! 😉 😂 Hope you guys get it sorted

[@BenandEmily]

Hahah yep there it is!

[@bernardsmith152]

Hi guys , I think you need to keep those metal channels under your rear deck boards clear of crud , when it rains heavily it is stopping the water draining away.

[@BenandEmily]

Thanks Bernard :) I know it looks like we never clean them hahah! but we do, they fill up surprisingly fast!

[@janetrobson9469]

Hope your all sorted with the broken mount now...always something with a boat either small or big. .. Loving the overalls bargain... Hash brown waffles yum I'm off to find some... Hugs to Alan.. And you two of course 🙏

[@BenandEmily]

Thanks Janet 😊

[@markturner4147]

Ouch, but look at the repairs as an investment and then it doesn't hurt so much! Good news is that if you had continued cruising, you would most probably have damaged the bearings in the gearbox, which would have been several more hundreds of pounds. Enjoy Burton, the mixture of beer and marmite in the air is quite unique!

[@BenandEmily]

Yeah glad we found it when we did!

Hiya, sorry to hear about your engine mount, that sux! Glad you able to get it sorted. Great video as always..loved the photo shoot 😄👍🏼 and again love your sounds Ben, so good. Allen looked like and owl with that bit of fluff stuck to her lip.. My cats do the same, love the tiggles & strokes, then suddenly it's enough.. i read somewhere it's because their fur gets static, the minute that happens they want us to stop...makes sense 😄 Anyway Njoy the festival, hope ya up an running soon. Take Care, see you on the next one 🌼🌿

[@BenandEmily]

Thanks Che, yes Alan can be a bit nippy, but more in a playful way 😊 Hope you are having a great week 😊♥️

[@daveonthecut]

Hi guys. Love watching your channel, it's magic. My cruiser stern didn't have any edging around the flooring support channels and after a tip I received, tried using hosepipe cut down the middle all along the length and then cut to size. This didn't work as all the hosepipe I could find was plastic lined and made cutting it much to much hard work. I tried this - Metal House Extra Large black rubber car edge protective trim 14mm x 16mm from amazon (seems I can't leave links in comments) and it does a great job sealing against the rain however it does leak a little but you need to clean out the channels and overflow holes regularly. It also aids in engine sound deadening. I'm still catching up on your vlogs and look forward to every one.

[@paullowden1643]

Going back to your Q&A video when asked what is the worst thing about boat life? Well, I’m a boater and this is by far the worst thing! Unexpected, un-budgeted, expensive repairs. It’s a real bummer. Although I was managing my day to day expenses on my occupational pension it is the unexpected repairs that made me go back to work and get some cash behind me for a rainy day. I hope all is well for you and your engine issues get sorted quickly. Very good luck.

[@BenandEmily]

Thank s Paul, yes good point there, it's the first time it's happened to us!

[@stanislaspayet7868]

[@edtaylor3228]

Bad news about the engine mounts guys, you never know what’s around the bend I guess. I can see you’re not letting it get to you which is great to see, keep them coming and stay strong!

[@BenandEmily]

Thanks Ed! 😊

[@pholland6643]

I'm guessing the rubber under your deck is used to dampen sound vibration not to keep water out, and increasing water tracking into your engine bay. You need a small lip in the underside of your deck edges so the water will drop down into the gutters. I hope you understand what I mean. ( Water can not run uphill).

[@ethelmini]

Thought the same. You're not likely to stop it coming in, easier to collect it and/or redirect it.

[@BenandEmily]

Thats a very good point! Thanks :)

[@BenandEmily]

haha i know! I couldn't believe he did that just for my plant! so nice :) hahah i see what you did there 😄

[@TroyaE117]

Put another engine support leg on there, or weld up the old one. A good welder will be able to reclaim that engine leg. Check that the engine mount rubbers still have enough life in them. Keep oil away from them. Regularly scrub them with detergent, and if diesel drips on them (or oil), clean it off immediately.

[@sheilajoseph9953]

Hope boat gets sorted and your on your travels. Are least you didn't carry on for things to get worse. I thought that great bag of hair might have been an old horse hair mattress from the victorian days 🤣Enjoy your festival, Benny good look with the record launch.

Hi. Love your vlogs. As I’m from Ireland I thought you’d like to hear the proper and correct pronunciation of your boat’s name. ? It’s , ( the simple way ) Roe ( or Row as in row the boat ) Roe Sheen Dove. Roisin is Irish for Rose, and Dubh is Black in Irish. Get that great name on your boat. Cheers. Don.

[@BenandEmily]

Thanks Don! 🤩

[@damianbutterworth2434]

I don`t know if it true. My friend has a boat at Grimsby and he tells me things that go on there. He said one person wanted an engine out a boat so he undid it and roped it to a bridge and waited for the tide to go out.

[@bobbing_along]

Eeeeshk! Hope all goes well! Our engine mounts aren't broken (touch wood) but we have been advised it's time to replace so we are preparing to get that job done 😬 we hadn't realised what a big job it would be till the guy told us x

[@BenandEmily]

All fixed now and they managed to fix it rather than replace, but it would be a good job worth doing for sure if they've advised you to do it :) Good luck guys!

[@tonycarter3756]

Trying to keep water in or out is a nightmare.lve just done a test run on a 1/16 scale canal lock /basin water feature and despite being meticulous the gates leak but in all the right places ! Engines - Hmmm a necessary evil . Unfortunately you need a workshop for that one ,Ouch !😱

[@DetroitMicroSound]

@@BenandEmily 😁👍

[@Theandyaston]

Hope it gets fixed soon 🤞🏻

[@janentomenkafka]

I would use the opportunity to check and maybe replace the silent blocks under the engine mountings. They're not that expensive, a lot cheaper than the labour cost for lifting the engine and fixing the broken mounting I would say. I would also check the prop shaft. Vibrations and/or a misaligned engine can wear out the prop shaft. And that can cause water coming in through the propeller shaft. Could be cheaper to do now than to spend another grant next year. But check with the mechanics. Their advice is worth more than my very distant opinion ;-)

[@BenandEmily]

Yes they had a good look and helped sort it out as you will see in our upcoming videos.. Thank you 😊

Ben & Emily - That sounds so expensive. Big bills like that, which you've not planned for, can be really worrying can't they? Scary. You both look quite concerned too, with good reason, but at the same time you are both very up beat and positive. A lessen to us all. My advice is - get yourself off to your festival and let your dad cat sit. While Alan manages things with the boatyard - Tim
