The birds are just out of range from the neighbours pecking reach. 🤣👍👍

[@francoisprotat9342]

Bravo again ! Allways that german precision in everything you're doing. I've seen many videos of people who were rebuilding a boat, rare are the ones so professionals. And bravo for the music !

The Whale system sounds like the SharkBite system here in the USA. Makes life a bit easier!

[@peterdodge6563]

Very very good video. Like the Whale system you featured.

[@donaldrentfrow4333]

What an EXCELLANT narriation of your superberb restoration.............. Your boat is going to be far superior than it was new out of the yard........ I was a "liveaboard" in Florida for over 30 years and really appreciate your vigor of life.......................

Beautiful wiring job and loved learning the new Whale 🐳 plumbing system. Another excellent video 👏👍🏼

[@munrobros]

Great video, I love watching your videos. When you use the white connectors like the ones used with the light indicators and on the deck with the anchor light. As a rule of thumb from an old electrician. Try to avoid the connectors with brass insides as the are prone to cracking when in the elements and making a loos connection that will lead to heat and melting. Try to use the connectors where the screws don't directly come in contact with the wire, it will have a metal plate that will be pushed down onto the wire, they are usually black connectors. And when using them outside, use a bigger connector so that both wires can fit on one side and wrap it up in electrical tape all around for a good seal. Always leave the connectors pointing up so no water makes it in next to the wires. It will save you a lot of effort in the future with loos connections and corrosion on your connectors.

[@johnjohnson-cv7kf]

Love the segment with the birds! I'm glad you allow them to roost. Love the channel.

I loved the moment of the birds perched on your boat, it is really touching. Greetings from Madrid, I don't miss a single one of your videos.

[@cme4brain11]

what a pleasant series of videos to watch. As a boat owner, I am learning about wiring and plumbing from you.

[@waynegiles880]

about the birds spaced out on your boat.... in 2005 there was the Bird Flu break out and even back then the birds were smart enough to have social distancing . 😎😁

[@jeanhawken4482]

Fantastic system

[@fonhollohan2908]

The Birds have to keep a certain distance from one another, if they don't their wings would collide with one another, when they would land or take off from any site.

[@gelogia]

That's the true bird twetter

[@stevenwarner9581]

I really enjoy the accompanying music, especially the classical , the videos are really informative too, well done

[@Ratty_Rex]

Awesome bird action. Amazing progress too.

[@jkbish1]

I have followed your progress. What I cant understand is how you get all the resources to buy the various components. Kind of amazing

[@michelrood2966]

[@vincentdsnt]

When wiring on a boat or anytime in my book use Ox-Gard Made by Gardner Bender, Guards against oxidation,The perfect safeguard for aluminum-to-aluminum, aluminum-to-copper wire connections and aluminum conduit joints. Improves conductivity; penetrates aluminum oxide to maintain inter-strand and inter-conductor current paths Produces a cooler connection. Just something to help you down the river.

[@mrchairman08]

If oxgard is difficult to get I always use Zinc oxide in a tube from the local pharmacy. Also prevents reaction between steel fasteners into aluminum parts.

[@vincentdsnt]

@@mrchairman08 Also works on Diaper Rash......

[@SevenBates]

This is informative for me. I appreciate the entertainment value but genuinely your series is giving me the confidence to buy this boat I've been considering for some time. Thank you for sharing. Don't ever worry about showing too much technical detail - it's valuable. Truly.

[@gregsecore9625]

Those water connections are awesome everything just clicking together like that and easy to take a part that is a very good system you have

[@geoffreycharlton8875]

love watching your videos you explain things so clear

[@wombat211192]

Love your work . 👍👍

[@marcelocheves]

Hello, I think the wire size is to big for a led application, BTW good wiring route, when you finish all the electric remember to label each wire terminal for the future, make a wiring diagram and keep it and order all cables clean to the sight, nice job. Oh, you know what is good? always apply dielectric grease to the exposed terminals, ex.: the block terminal at the anchor light in mast. Sorry for my english.

[@Total_Egal]

there is no to big for wiring only to small or to long

[@MsCatdograt]

I so thankful that i found this channel. It's a happy place. Would love to hear more about the boating culture and the music you listening to. cheers.

[@BaronVonEvil1]

These are always interesting post. His narrative and backround music really add to the presentation in his videos. I wonder if he realizes that there are standard color codes for wiring boats. Depending on the function of the item being wired into the boat system there is a specific color for the wire insulation. By having the wires color coded, it makes it easier to trouble shoot faults in the electrical system. Having worked on customer wired boats. it is very time consuming to try and figure out what wire does what when they are all the same color. It can come down to running new wires to repair a system or device because it will take less time.

[@MRdugger420]

Very Good progress from where you started I must Commend you!

[@alhoceimafishing]

nice work 👍👍👍👍👍

[@lynstoneham]

Very interesting

[@dirttdude]

i don't put on the lugs and terminals until all the cable is run and is laid out. every one has to be the perfect length and attached to bulkheads properly without crossing so that i can determine the exact location of the lug or terminal. i don't mind adjusting by trimming but once you cut it to short, it's cut to short.

[@CarstenWolfram]

I love your dedication to the electrics, also color-matching heat shrinking always pleases my eyes. Can't understand why they don't make these wire ferrules also in red and black for different sizes.

[@roberthunting514]

Please sand and varnish the mast ! Well done on the rest of your work very nice keep it up.

[@pochosousa4653]

Me encanta tu paciencia y prolijidad con las cuales haces tu trabajo . Me encantó la forma en la que se instalan los caños de agua. Lo único que creo es que tal vez tengas problemas es con el filtro de la toma de agua . Tal vez deberías pensar en poner una especie de malla filtro por el lado exterior para facilitar que el agua que chupe la bomba ya entre pre filtrada . Te saluda cordialmente un argentino desde España.

[@TheRealIdleTime]

Bird is the word

[@Rohtie]

Thanks for showing how a neater electrical configuration can look like. The previous owners of my boat have really not paid attention to this and all the wiring is loose spaghetti, the terminals aren't even mounted.

[@waynep343]

Boiler/water heater. Please review the manufacturer's instructions on its installation direction. I worry you will have half a tank of air that you cannot purge because of the angle of the install. If the heater elements are not fully submerged they can cause several issues. The heater elements can overheat and the ceramic coating crack allowing direct contact with the water. The electrodes if not fully submerged can create steam in the air pocket. This can build enough pressure to blow your plastic hoses out of their fittings or burst the hoses. In a water heater steam explosion in the 1960s. The water heater flew over 3 blocks away .this is not an isolated incident.

Bird distancing is easy to explain: it's COVID measurements; distance is 2m equivalent. ;)

Hello from Michigan. Watching your journey from the beginning has been something I look forward to every week. Putting all the electronics and plumbing in I'm sure has taken a lot of homework before you dig in. The Whale system looks fantastic to install and use. Keep up the excellent work and videos. If you wouldn't mind I'd like to know what you do for a living as it looks like you are possibly a engineer as you pay attention to detail which is what it is all about.

Hi , Whale Pumps are super expensive and Mikey Mouse equipment . For heavy duty and long lasting I advice to use MARCO pumps . I have them in my boat .
