Damn That Hurt! Onboard Lifestyle ep.18

[@danbradley1943]

Blood is salty and so is the sea. Every sailor knows the sea needs its share to bring the best of luck.

[@OohzyJohnDow]

YT recommended a video and now i am hooked on watching how your boat renovation is going. You are doing really solid work and you guys seem to have a great dynamic between you three. Though there is something that is pushing that tiny brain of mine. I have now heard you say a couple of times "I am building a boat" and in this episode you stated that to prevent broken fingers, one shouldnt build a boat.. but you arent building a boat my friends. You are renovating an already built boat and doing a very lovely job at it. Just keep it real ok ;-)

[@stefanthehistoryguy]

This is my favorite video of your series thus far, you took that broken finger like a hero sir.

[@mmanut]

The medical emergency was done very professionally. Big Props to the First Mate‼️ I figured you would have painted those bilges, being painted shiny white it would be easy to detect any leaks. Since subscribing to your channel I've been jumping around watching you get after different projects. I'm honestly blown away with your attention to detail. I consider myself a very handy and detailed driven, you have me easily beat. Everything you've done to your boat is Just Beautiful. Anyone would be very proud to own your catamaran. I can't stop watching your videos, very entertaining and educational‼️ THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR JOURNEY‼️👍 PS, U have a beautiful family, Vinny 🇺🇸

[@weldmachine]

Great work with the First Aid. Now it,s time to watch Emma,s Tablet.

[@itsnotmeitshim]

You compliment each other perfectly. Your all a joy to watch. Thank you.

[@denzildon9202]

You are amazing so patient and doing our jobs so well. 🤪

[@chadrichards9760]

Great job. Can't wait to see you guys take it out on the water. Sorry about your finger man but it happens to the best of us

[@markjones8704]

Sorry about the finger mate, but it happens. Engine bay is coming along nicely and as always thanks for sharing the journey👍

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks Mark...it took about 5 weeks for the finger to feel better but it's back to business as usual now.

[@BillConnely]

Love your story keep them coming. A viewer here from Spokane Washington. Hope to see you on the water someday. So sweet of your lovely wife to help you mend up that finger. Hope it is better soon.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks Bill!

[@Hardtimes57]

Guess now you can add "Nurse" to your engine cleaners many titles. Another great video. Hope you heal fast!

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks, this video was filmed a few months ago so I am back to 100%.

[@HopeOfJoe]

Bummer on the finger, yet awesome job (as always) in getting the engine compartments ship-shape !! 😊👍👌👏💪✨⛵️⚓️✨

[@fissh29]

Sounds simple, but I am in the middle of a major rebuild LMAO and always wear gloves with power tools...saved a couple trips to ER easily! Great work, fun videos...cheers!

[@bill4nier]

Whoa! Is that enough soundproofing? Looks a little on the thin side! Just the hatch? Thanks for sharing. 😊⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵😊👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@OnboardLifestyle]

You are correct...this is just the start. I plan on covering the rest of the compartments before we leave. I just put a bit down so I knew what to expect. I figured I would save that project for a rainy day.

[@nspctor7729]

I'm seeing more and more sailors recommending the installation of a second diesel filter on a bypass valve as a stand by where changing or cleaning filters is not practical. The idea is for added safety especially if your'e caught in rough seas, in a shipping lane or in a critical manoeuvre such as windy docking etc. where an engine shut down would pose a serious safety concern to your boat or surrounding traffic. I'm the furthest thing from a sailor but I do appreciate your top notch workmanship...very impressive. Thought I would throw that out to you since you're so detailed oriented. Cheers, N

[@OnboardLifestyle]

I like how you think but I have the redundancies already built in...I have two engines.

[@nspctor7729]

True enough but do they draw from individual tanks or do they share a single tank? Just asking! Cheers, N

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Each engine has it's own tank, water separator and filtration system.

[@nspctor7729]

That certainly lessens the odds of contamination. Looking forward to your next vid. N

[@robertjeter5984]

Yea it happens try working on ladder drilling holes in concrete for anchors and hit rebar it will spin you up and can really hurt you. We use impact gloves that will provide protection somewhat for fingers but it’s not a guarantee. Rub some dirt on it . You guys rock!

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks Robert, that one stung a little, but I walked it off!

[@johnhester4024]

Thanks I appreciate the technical details. I really like your videos I hope yall (southern slang) enjoy the boat when it is finished and hope to see video of the journey

[@OnboardLifestyle]

This is just the beginning of our channel...stand by!

[@neilhoddinott]

Sorry about your finger , looks like your doing a great job and you seem to have everything under control .

[@cigarmann]

Way to take the pain! I break toes often and never go to the ER, splint them, tape them and endure! Love your vids man!

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Unless bones are sticking out, you might as well fix it yourself. For me, two fingers and one toe this last year alone. Thanks for watching!

[@roncakes]

Great video... right until the mangled finger! Sorry to see that and go easy on it. Your wife did a great job. Mine would have drove me to the ER. The boat is looking great and I'm really interested to see how the engines fire up.

[@1coolnoodle222]

I like your attitude just rub dirt on it and get back in the game...……. Great job with the boat.

[@stephenrankin7582]

you have the best channel on you tube thanks for your ingenuity

[@OnboardLifestyle]

..and thanks for watching!

[@nickviner1225]

Ouch ...... That had to hurt. I feel for you.

[@salt669]

your are doing a fantastic job, loverly family.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks John!

[@MrPhilgascoine]

Have been following your journey and watch your finger being repair not with a drill lol . Would be a good idea. For all three of you to take a first-aid course as when your at sea you would be able to deal with any emergency

[@KarlPogori]

funny family, like it

[@mickmccrohon]

Bummer about the leak on your finger. And the way I see it those that never use tools never get injured! I bet it was off within an hour. I normally put on a rubber glove to keep the blood from messing up my job. hehe

[@trumpetmano]

I've got that darn tune stuck in my head...LOL

[@OnboardLifestyle]

I catch myself humming it as well...sorry! :)

[@R.E.HILL_]

Those engine lids needs a gasket for added sound proofing. Work that can be done with nine fingers....

[@OnboardLifestyle]

You are correct. I plan on adding a gasket around each lid.

[@allanhill8003]

Ouch!! Now the frustration of trying to work with a lame finger in the way. And believe me it will get in the way. Good job you have your girls to help you.🤔😉😏

[@JCAJCA3]

Teal be careful carrying two batteries like that. I carried 2 31's about 25 feet. Next morning could not move. Blew 2 disc. Took about a month to get over it. The boat is really looking good! GOD bless. JC

[@JCAJCA3]

Michael, So sorry to hear that! Its a shame youth is wasted on the young. lol GOD bless. JC

[@anjongaustrejr3633]

nice and clean job in the first engine......just be careful next time...its happen...

[@williamwallace176]

You never understand just now important and useful the little finger is until you can't use it. I found out the hard way.

[@bartonrobinson4266]

Ouch..I do feel your pain, broke 2 bones in my lifetime..both right hand, I'm right handed, thumb between the joints, since there's only 2 joints you'll know where and little finger bone in my hand between the knuckle and wrist..the long one..never went to Doc, good old electrical tape..keep the smile on..looking good !!

[@DVolvoguy777-x7o]

Maybe install work lights in the engine bays too?

[@rcrogers6]

Not enough sound insulation surrounding the engine. Dual Racors to make switching out a clogged filter in a seaway easier. Do you always ask yourself, do I have ready access in a seaway? Of course, you can always send Emma in!

[@europachef]

Greetings from England, as pointed out, tape and endure!

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Exactly...Thanks Johan!

[@user-jl2wn7bn8p]

yea Hole Hogs are a nightmare. No clutch. Ive seen a guy come off a 6ft ladder and dislocate his arm at the elbow joint. Not a pretty site dangling there lol. Got beat up by them loads of times. Terrible drill. better off with the Dewalt 124 angle drill. the longer grip is better. no more ( or fewer) slaps on the head when it catches. Construction sucks people, but has to be done. yer welcome!:-)

[@yonatanbenavraham6598]

Drills have an extra handle to prevent breaking fingers. I admit though that I have broken my hand once or twice by not being safe when drilling. You do excellent work but in order to enjoys sailing later in life you have to remember each time you injure yourself it causes arthritis later in life, I know.

[@johnhester4024]

You have what looks like a thin spot in your hull to left side of the engine, I could see what looked light daylight shining through the hull.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Unlike the top of my head that is not a thin spot at all. The hull material is NidaCore and it will telegraph light through at any thickness. The hull is 1-1/8" thick consistently and will telegraph less with additional layers of paint.

[@majesticmark6054]

Ouch,,, I feel that!

[@fillg]

For cuts I just clean it out then push the skin back together and dribble a little super glue over it. Seals it up and holds it together until it heals. I wish I had a "nurse" that was willing to do it for me. :)

[@AndysEastCoastAdventures]

Superglue was originally invented for this purpose for battlefield injuries and yes it works well. It even sets underwater.

[@willamwallace7777]

My first aid kits have Celox /or Quick Clot...kept me from making a literal bloody mess several times.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Before we head out next year we will be setting up our offshore first aid kit...It's amazing what you can get through Amazon!

[@alanduffy7993]

Another great video. You are making me feel very guilty about my engine compartments... I need to take your approach and tidy up all the plumbing. Certainly hope that your have sponsorship from Interlux as S/V Basik has to be their best advertisement.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

No sponsorships yet Alan...thanks for watching!

[@frankd2301]

You need a right angle drill for the big holes

[@rbhaskin]

No problem, just get some of those aluminum/foam splints and a decent pair of work gloves and get back to it ... it only hurts a for second when you bump it ... been there done that .... Nice work by the way on the boat

[@OnboardLifestyle]

That's exactly what I did...the aluminum/foam splint was much more comfortable.

[@onthebeaches]

In what world is that going to happen?! HA! FUN TIMES! hey...the engine compartment looks GREAT! Looks like "SOMEONE" is a SHOE HOUND! HA HA! PEACE OUT! Ü

[@trumpetmano]

What's a boat without a little blood and a few broken bones??? So, I guess Teal has blessed the boat already...

[@petersimmons3978]

Hi you Guys, greetings from the UK🇬🇧 again,I didn't know it was that frosty in the morning in your part of the good old USA as we in the UK are having the hottest time of the summer ever with temps nearing 32 degrees,sorry about your finger, I bet that hurts? and it will do for a few days to come!,the Angels by your side worked wonders, so caring, now is the time to ask your wife to cook you something nice and tasty to make you forget the pain😂 Take care guys and stay safe ,there is a lot more work to do before you all set sail!!, cheers for now 👍💖

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks for the greeting Peter! This video was filmed a few months ago so the weather is much nicer now and I'm back to 10 fingers....finally!

[@petersimmons3978]

Hi again, I'm glad you over came your broken finger,you need them all to produce the quality work you keep achieving ,Looking forward to your next Vlog👍🇬🇧

[@vishvpl3618]

Maybe you should put some light system in the engine rooms..

[@OnboardLifestyle]

We will be adding LED lighting to the engine compartments for sure. When we built the engine cowlings we added conduit and wire chases and even prewired the switches for this project. Thanks for watching!

[@26snoopy82]

Ouch that looks like it hurt hope it has healed real well!

[@OnboardLifestyle]

All better now...thanks for watching!

[@williamwallace176]

EVERY First Aid kit should include "Celox" or "Quick Clot" to stop blood flow. I have the above in my Truck and at Home for instant use...and for the really serious issues my gun range bag has a couple of different female sanitation products to cover or plug open wounds. Then, of course there is also the "Sailor's first aid" band-aid...Paper towels and electrical tape or duct tape....and... several pair of oversized rubber gloves (You can cut a finger off the glove and use it to protect an injured finger.).

[@JoeTheLion60]

Its going to be really sad (for me :-)) when you finally finish - how about just starting another one straight away? ha ha PS That other engine room could be called the Emelda Marcos shoe room...Hope your finger feels better!

[@johanandersson7382]

Ouch! Those drills can be brutal. Had that happend to me a coupple of times, (no broken bones thank the gods, but smashed into a wall) but the worst I´ve seen was a guy who got it in the face, right by the Eye, blood everywhere.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Ouch!

[@rcrogers6]

A hole saw catching in plywood broke the mandrill, the drill hit my forehead and tore my retina. Also got 6 stitches in forehead.

[@BastienKoert]

Hole saw by hand, that shouldn't affect productivity at all. Nice job by Linh to wrap that up.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Linh is the best, she is fearless! Next time I need stitches...I think she is ready.

[@BastienKoert]

but will you be? she might pull out the sewing machine

[@fudogwhisperer3590]

Just got wacked by the handle on my drill using a 3" hole saw today, even though I thought I was braced enough.............

[@Stubones999]

You might want to build a heat shield between the battery and the water lift muffler... Heat kills batteries

[@moejaime2654]

How long before the seal on the drive pod needs to be serviced ? Thumbs up great work on the boat can't wait until you guys start cruising !!

[@OnboardLifestyle]

That is the age old question about saildrives and you will get varied responses from every 2 to 14 years. Our SD20's have double diaphragms with a water intrusion sensor between, They have been in fresh water for most of their life and upon inspection appear to be brand new. We will haul the boat early next year and determine at that point whether to replace or leave for another season or two. We will definitely carry a complete set of spares regardless.

[@rbnhood39]

Ouch !!

[@oldmanriverrimington3442]

Bummer. Light duty for you mister.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Gave me time to learn how to edit these videos...so it all worked out.

[@oldmanriverrimington3442]

[@AlsinoFerreira]

great video guys, are you going to paint the engine compartment?

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Eventually...we have so many items to knock off of our to-do list first. We will probably paint the engine compartments down the road.

[@triroo107]

Nurse Ratched.... 😂.

[@stevewhittle1753]

I suggest you pick up a Jasper #M400 circle cutting jig for your router. Much safer and precise than a hole saw.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

I have used a friends Jasper 400 a few times but not on this particular project. Maybe I will have to get one because the hole saw, on larger holes, is down right intimidating.

[@snakeplisken4278]

Nice Job! (except for the finger, ouch!) I am replacing one of my fuel hoses. The new hose is SAE J1527 type A1 shields fire-acol model 16-360-0143 with I.D. 1/4 in (6.350mm). I noticed from the racor you have a metal fitting and a bronze barb. Would you mind listing the parts and size hose you used. It will help me find a suitable way to connect to my Racor. Thanks.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

I had to get a Racor 500 turbine filter fuel fitting that adapts the Racor filter to standard NPT fittings made by Parker Hannifin Corp part # PKR 911-08-F4 ordered from www.fisheriessupply.com $3.65/ea

[@Draconisrex1]

It's happened to me!

[@jayfitmob8645]

Tis but a scratch, get back to work 😂 Great vid, and clean work! What make /model/year is your vessel?

[@OnboardLifestyle]

She is a 1993 custom 435 catamaran designed by Jace Hobbs and built by Mastermold Composite Services in Florida. You can see her full specs in the "Sailor's Multihull Guide" 2nd edition pages 254-255.

[@jayfitmob8645]

@@OnboardLifestyle she's a beauty! Keep up the hard work, and I hope to be sailing soon... Looking for our first project 🙃

[@davidmilitz2275]

Great vid. Can you tell me the brand of insulation you used and how you glued it? I need to do the same to my engine room. :0)

[@OnboardLifestyle]

The sound insulation I used is a vinyl foam barrier composite made by Soundtec. I misspoke in the video saying it had a lead core in fact it's an ultra dense lead-like core made from vinyl. You can purchase it with a self-sticking back or plain back that you apply with an adhesive or mechanical fasteners.This product, or something similar, is sold at most marine store.

[@davidmilitz2275]

GREAT...thanks again! Hope the finger feels better!

[@jimmac521]

it's fine...

[@cezary188]

I'm wondering, when you "planning" to finish all work and sail ?

[@OnboardLifestyle]

We will haul her out next Spring for a few projects then spend next Summer shaking her down in the pacific NW. Later next year we will be working our way South continuing to knock out projects on sv basik as we travel.

[@CraigOverend]

I hope your dominant hand was your left to keep on working, if not it quickly will be. :) Any concerns with the battery temperature being next to the exhaust lifter? How hot does that get, especially if you have a raw water blockage? From memory wet lead-acid typically don't like being charged over 45C.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

I will be installing heat barrier wraps and placed the battery in that position because directly above is a 4" forced air intake that will give additional cooling. If temperature becomes an issue I will move the batteries out of the engine compartment entirely.

[@danielbuckner2167]

So was the finger set off camera or just didn't bother? Anyway for anybody watching that is accident prone or clumsy or doesn't know how to work with tools and is afraid of doing the same thing here just hold the drill upside down. Yup, that easy. Hold it so the handle is up so if it grabs and kicks it will pull out of your hand rather than twist and either smash your hand (like this guy) or sprain your wrist. If your drill came with that extra side handle that either clamps around the nose or screws into the side use it, it gives far better stability and is for this exact thing. A hole hog and every 1/2" drill I have ever seen comes with a side handle.

[@bayanicustodio3998]

Just wanted to ask, when you were installing port lights, I noticed you never use potting compound around the holes to protect the core material. Something that was done but not shown or the core material did not need it?

[@OnboardLifestyle]

When we removed the 25 year old leaking portlight and inspected the exposed core ( NidaCore) and found zero degradation I was not to worried about the core material from here on out. NidaCore is impervious to moisture and, if breached, will isolate it to just the damaged cell. The new Bomar Flagship portlights we installed do not have fasteners that penetrate the hull but clamshell with a gasket around the opening. These portlights have been in now for over 7 months and I could not be happier with their performance. With all that said, We will be removing the portlights early next year for the last coat of paint and will make the decision at that point if we need to take those additional steps.

[@nicholaslee3798]

Gday, do you have a built in generator?

[@OnboardLifestyle]

We have 820 watts of solar that will produce the majority of our energy needs. If we require more power our plan is to add solar as need be. We do have a portable 2kw genset as a back up.

[@lkm5462]

Always wear gloves, leather, with a hole hog. I also try not to grip it as I would normally. This way it will fly out of your hands and you can’t grip tightly . Also many have an option for a side handle and not just the pistol grip. I’ve bent and auger almost 90 degrees . Once I was using someone’s old drill motor and the whole handle snapped off and I was holding the handles with two wires sticking out and the motor body spinning for a couple seconds. He was not amused.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

This drill did have the added grip...the problem was that it happened in a split second! Next time I will heed all advice, thanks!

[@mini752]

"Do you know how to avoid this?....... Don't build a boat." True Story. ;)

[@AndysEastCoastAdventures]

Torque setting on drill too high or drill with no torque control?

[@OnboardLifestyle]

No torque control.

[@AndysEastCoastAdventures]

@@OnboardLifestyle Oh dear. Know someone who broke his wrist like this drilling a 4" core in brick for a tumble drier vent.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

It is amazing how much torque those drills can produce...scary!

[@tombarker3608]

[@OnboardLifestyle]

What can I say Tom...I have lockers filled with items that make me happy so I built Linh a locker for things that make her happy. Keep in mind, when we head out cruising, most of the heels will be replaced with deck shoes, sandals and flip flops but for now...heels.

[@lobotomise863]

About your wound at least your wife sound more worried about you than my mom was when i came home bloodied... She was like "What did you do this time?"

[@CJ.Hamblin]

What's that heater you have in the closet?

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Goldenrod electric air warmer. They come in four models from 12w to 38w and are designed for this type of application. Don't expect them to heat the area like a 1500w heater but they raise the temperature enough to keep condensation to a minimum. After using them over last winter I would definitely recommend them for clothes lockers on a boat if you are having condensation issues.

[@CJ.Hamblin]

Thanks, I've been giving the state of moisture in lockers some consideration and this gives me something to look at.

[@corybrown994]

[@marceld6061]

I was cringing watching this entire episode waiting to see your finger get crunched. As for the drill? Yup. Very common injury. Almost broke my hand working on a friend's boat doing something very similar. I still proceed with caution when I pick up my 1/2" drill.

[@thatdutchguy2882]

Go to the doctor m8,...they'll set it right and prevent your bone or surrounding tissue from getting infected. Sleep with your hand above the hight of your hart on your chest, it helps with recovery and keeps the pounding pain to a minimum,....but go to the doctor to get it X-rayed and set. Take 2× Paracetamol 500mg, it prevents inflammation and is a pain suppressor, you can have those every 4 hours, but again, go see a doctor.

[@thatdutchguy2882]

Did you let it bleed for a bit ? (when it just happend)

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Yes, it bled for about 2 hours. Believe it or not, it wasn't the drill that caused the laceration. When the drill spun out, my hand was whipped onto a sharp edge, that was what caused the fracture and the laceration. And yes, I did have a tetanus shot last year because I know you were going to ask that next.

[@thatdutchguy2882]

Onboard Lifestyle Hahahaha 👍😆-up on the tetanus injection. Just keep an eye on it, it's normal if it turns a bit blue/very light greenish hew at the knuckles and joints in the immediate vicinity of the break and it wil swell, but if that swelling doesn't subside in a day or 5 you'll need to see a doctor. Take the 2 Paracetamol's 500mg, and be careful with that finger for now, keep it up as much as you can. (above the hart level) Great boat work btw, really enjoy the channel 👍,....go see a doctor ;).

[@brettmillard1]

who u married to imelda marcos ? shoe city+

[@sneekapim]

OK, just need a yes or no. It took about 20 minutes and your finger turned blue, the pain from the swelling was way too much, you redid it. That looked way too tight for me.

Yes, I made it through the first night with the temporary splint but went to the drugstore the next morning to get a splint that was much more comfortable.
