Ep37. Rudder and prop removal!

[@Leonard_Smith]

This video has almost converted me to Zen Buddhism, I have learned the art of patience to watch a man take 15 minutes to remove a single split pin and castellated nut from a prop shaft. 😎

[@BumblingSailor]

😂😂😂 Sorry!

[@Leonard_Smith]

@@BumblingSailor No problem, I am considering it as the first step on the path to eternal happiness 👍

[@davidclarke-williams422]

What a pleasure and privilege to watch the master of his craft ale relentlessly relinquish the grip of the screw on his shaft with precise percussive persuasion and precision .. totally gripping. 🤔🤗

[@ratrace3557]

I bet he'd of loved a craft ale after all that😅

[@BumblingSailor]

😂😂😂 Cheers Dave, nothing can survive a northerner with a hammer!

[@KennyP88]

Great to see you back bumbling along on the boat. 😊

[@nickshipman620]

Glad to see you back on the repairs Terry , you really need to scrape all that old anti foul off to hunt out all the blisters , also you need to wash the cavities out , I know this might seem counter intuitive, but as the blister juice slowly leaches out it dries and seals the cavities and stops the drying process, the blister juice is water soluble so try pressure washing the hull maybe once or twice a week , the cavities might look dry but there not , the pressure washing will give you the cavity the best chance of drying and gives the epoxy filling the best chance of success , if your not planning on going back in the water till next year I would strip the antifoul right now and excavate all the blisters and regularly wash the hull over the winter and do the filling /laminating in the spring when it’s over 10 deg celsius , then barrier coat the hull with hempel high protect 2 , im doing the identical job on my boat as we speak , if you want a chat about it send me a message glad to help if I can Nick

[@BumblingSailor]

Cheers!

DANG! Watching you work that cotter pin was down right painful! Here’s a tip, cut off as much of the open end as you can. Then cut the loop end in half. Grab one of the loop ends with your Vice grips. Then knock out that one bit, the next will practically fall out. If not, we’ll then you need a bigger hammer😎

[@BaileysIntWild]

This.

[@Ashlin-f5d]

Great video, delighted to see you back at it with Demetrius, looking forward to the next chapter ⚓👍

[@BumblingSailor]

Cheers!

[@tommycheshire5508]

Very nice jazz music in the background. See, you are learning about boat repair. Just ask people how to do things and then do it like you are doing. I am proud of you. It might be time for another nut for that prop. Still love that boat.

[@JohnCarstairs1961]

Great seeing you back on the tools, Terry! A fantastic description of time that should definitely be taught in schools lol 😂 Keep up the good work my man! Best regards from bonnie Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

There’s one thing! You have a lot of patience, keep up the good work and what are ruddy! good job

[@sailinggemini]

Nice to see you doing work on the boat again keep going before the winter comes in

[@BumblingSailor]

Cheers!

[@gonesailing]

Ah, split pins are a pain. I remember similar issues in trying to remove these from castellated nuts when restoring my Series 2 Land Rover. I have seen some remove them with a pair of pliers angling the plier against the nut to ease out the pin. Never as easy as they make this look. Good work, all the best with your restoration of Demetrius. Thanks for sharing.

[@BumblingSailor]

Thank you!

[@nicksearle3677]

See you at the boat show, should be there 2nd Saturday. Prop shafts are a pain. Once used a beer can to increase the diameter of a shaft so the coupling could grip onto it. This was after it fell out and sank to the bottom. Always carry a selection of wooden cones! Had a nice swim to retrieve it and while I was down there found some expensive sun glasses.

[@trhosking]

Thread a couple of metres of strong wire through the loop on the split pin. Twist the loose ends securely together to form a loop. Use a sledge hammer or similar heavy weight to yank the pin using the loop. Beware of recoil.

[@timmitchell8784]

Watching you spin the prop nut off with a screwdriver and a hammer was painful 😂😂😂.

[@BumblingSailor]

I'm not known for my finesse.

[@markhoward6641]

Glad you are getting back to it, im refitting a Jaguar 27 and I know exactly what it feels like to be out of time and money. You have given me a bit of get up and go.

[@BumblingSailor]

Awesome, hope it goes well!

[@keith800]

You tackle some difficult jobs 👍and I like the way you just get on with it , the no point in making a fuss as you still have to get it done anyway is a great way to be 😊.

[@BaileysIntWild]

Oooh, we've just taken our rudder off too :) Also you're brave grinding all that back. PS: with split pins, a pair of Vise Grips locked on, allows you to thwack them out by hitting the grips.

[@BumblingSailor]

👍👍👍

[@chrisroat6592]

You need to scrape the antifouling off completely you will find more blisters and then have a better surface to work with

[@shaggyrandy1264]

Good one! Beautiful.

[@BumblingSailor]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@MarcelEling]

Big jobs done🎉

[@BumblingSailor]

Yip!

[@GrahamLangston-i5n]

Use side cutter to pull a splite pin 90 Deg to the round part they pull out much easyer

[@stevewoodward7172]

That was entertaining, spilt pins eh? lol Well done, you got there in the end😁

[@BumblingSailor]

😂😂 10/10 for determination, 0/10 for technique 😂

[@kevinmartin3859]

I hope the nut you was hammering survived when you used the adjustable wrench it worked lovely any chance of having the propshaft cleaned to get rid of the burrs or get some advice on what to do like wet and dry cloth glad you found the cause of the problem with the propeller nice video Terry 😊😊

[@BumblingSailor]

Cheers Kevin!

[@naignildoi826]

I always use snips to leaver split pins out.

[@1240enzo]

Using a dremel to deal with the biggest osmosis blisters is perfectly fine. Don’t forget to wipe the area down first with acetone before applying thickened epoxy to repair those areas. What you really need to do though is to sand off all the old antifoul using a vac sander, and remember to suit and mask up to avoid breathing in the dust. You will then need to paint the hull with primer before applying a couple of coats of antifoul. This is the only way you can be sure your have dealt with the state of your hull.

[@BumblingSailor]

Cheers!

[@colinmorsley2545]

Side cutters or pincers would have help tremendously getting the split pit out .

[@BumblingSailor]

👍👍👍

[@seanhanlon5867]

Good effort mate 👊

[@pointnemo72]

😂 idk, brother. At this rate you could have been building your own small sailboat from scratch and have everything new and fresh. But that's hindsight 20-20. Keep grinding on, you'll get there eventually.

[@pjparkjd]

I kept expecting to hear a voice saying, "Thank you for holding. Your call is important to us. It will be answered in the order in which it was received."

[@bartjohnson8139]

Can the prop shaft be engaged to lock I in place?

[@BumblingSailor]

Not without transferring the force to the gearbox 😔

[@DavidMercer-t8u]

Looked a bit scary grinding away at the hull, what kind of thickness do you have before you go all the way through?

[@BumblingSailor]

Hopefully enough 😂😂

[@neilwoodward7336]

The split pin was gonna be replaced with new? Why didn't you annihilate the bloody thing right at the start?? 🤣

[@kennethhough3251]

Have you seen where blisters were removed. And make sure they were freed of any moisture. They would used a vacuum bagging system. To suck the water to a reservoir or lowest point.

@@BumblingSailor that makes sense, I know which one you're talking about. Keep at it, we want to see you go sailing soon !!!

[@petercrane2065]

If you put the engine in gear you could have use a spanner to take the castle nut off, It was not that tight!

[@chrismcbride3899]

Hi love what doing big guy ... think you need help with things cause your defo never be in water for long time you should be grinding the full Hull down .. glass full Hull....

[@BumblingSailor]

Surveyor said that I needn't have done any of it, it was fine. Wish I'd never started 😂

[@micheal197012]

Oh lord , somebody needs to go to Split pin school. Get a decent pair of pliers and learn the grip and roll method. (Ex helicopter engineer. ) Done Loads of em. And I was wincing watching that.

[@Ashlin-f5d]

😆 It made interesting viewing,on more than one occasion I wanted to scream but to be fair the man is not a professional and he got the job done so kudos to the bumbling sailor 🫡

Hey! Nobody is looking at 'how you look like!' In other peoples eyes you are totally just another human being. Everyone sees themselves through a different window to how others do. Just do your films. I reckon lots of people wish they could put themselves on camera. (If they realise that they are not scrutinised, they would!)
