Diesel Heat On Our Catamaran. Onboard Lifestyle ep.43

[@MrGTO-ze7vb]

A job WELL DONE and Toasty..!!

[@mikefriend7570]

Brilliant. A really comprehensive, step by step guide to installation. Just what I’ve been looking for. Thank you!

[@OnboardLifestyle]

You're welcome! Hope it works out for you!

[@MYNautiGirl]

Wow, a very clean install, I love how neat your wire runs and equipment installs are!

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Glad you like them! Cheers!

[@crabuki1273]

Pulled through with the old wire. Yes!

[@rogergoulder3821]

That installation is a thing of beauty. ( And a thing of beauty is a joy for ever ....)

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks Roger!

[@03RAMBUNCTIOUS]

Brought my 4 day old son home from the hospital tonight. He and I are learning sailboat repairs :)... Thank you. Hope to see y'all out there someday

[@OnboardLifestyle]

That is so special, thanks for that comment...congratulations!

[@linhgobenyt]

That made me almost cry! Congratulations on your new baby boy. Watching and teaching Emma how to sail and all the ins and outs of the workings of our boat throughout these years has been a joy and blessing. She is learning life lessons and we have a shared love with cruising we will never regret. Cheers and thanks for watching!

[@mcgama88]

The crisp neatness to the wiring loom became my template for my computer server, workstation and laptop assignment at my new desk build. Very nice work at the electrical and vent detail. Seemed vital at the stormy weather shown as bands of rain. And, I hope of enjoyment in the new year. Regards.. M.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks Mark!

[@tamhnguyen]

Professionally performed workmanship. Great job.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks Tam! Welcome to the crew!

[@jerrybarrett6376]

Captain Teal, super planning and installation. You have come far from this time and your little Emma is now a proper crew member and Linh has prepared many fine meals, worthy of being in a cookbook. Head over to Hawaii and check out the live Volcano. Gather more ideas for Linh’s future cookbook and enjoy the winter in paradise. 🐻🙏🇺🇸

[@mikes954]

What an amazingly patient and methodical person. Keep up the awesome videos.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks, we will!

[@caglenn1]

Hi Teal, I love the work you have done on your boat! It’s beautiful! Something you may want to consider, your heater exhaust should pass through the combustible wall with a B-vent thimble. That will provide the proper clearance and provide an air gap from the combustible wall. The fiberglass you packed around the exhaust pipe will prevent some of the heat from reaching the wall but as the heat builds up, the heat has no where to go and could overheat the combustible wall. Keep in mind that wrapping the pipe with the exhaust wrap moves more of the heat in the exhaust closer to the wall were it could overheat. Please consider adding the B-vent for the safety of your family and the boat. You have turned a lump of coal into a beautiful diamond! Keep up the awesome work! Charles

[@OnboardLifestyle]

I am not an expert by any means so comments like yours are appreciated. After running the system and taking multiple temperature readings I will be modifying some of the exhaust installation. The readings were not alarming or unsafe but "peace-of-mind" tells me to make some adjustments. You will see those in the next video or two.

[@caglenn1]

Hi Teal, Check out planarheaters.com for the exhaust thru-wall thimble. They are pricy but I’m sure you can find them somewhere else cheaper. But it will give you a good idea of what to look for. Depending on how you plan to vent it out of the boat, one of those would work well on the outside of the boat and use a rubber cap to seal it off in the off season and to keep water out. Just a thought. Keep up the awesome videos! Charles

[@janvandenbosch3821]

Teal if you are ever in Germany and need a project I have multiple for you in my house. I pay well too :-) Love the tidy craftmanship. I would show these video's to young people so they can really learn something and might get inspired to become a plumber, an electrician, etc

[@kevinramsey9758]

it's so nice to see that level of craftsmanship

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks Kevin!

[@Hauler24]

Dude, everything you do is so neat and clean and really easy to get at. You make this look like child's play. I think that is the most enjoyable part of these videos. Watching how neatly you do everything so if you needed to get in there you can easily get at things. God... I'm getting old if this is exciting for me... haha.

[@linhgobenyt]

Hey! Who are you calling old?! 🧐🧐 I get excited looking at these projects as well! Lol

[@peterstathus8079]

FANTASTIC job Teal!

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks Peter!

[@allanhill8003]

Another immaculate job done Teal ! Easy when you have a helper like Emma 😏😉

[@OnboardLifestyle]

It's her boat, she just lets me work on it! :)

[@dlavarco]

"fortunately, I have a flexible drill".... There was never a doubt. That was outstanding work. Happy Holidays

[@smithcalvin]

I must say you have really great helpers.

[@HopeOfJoe]

"Oh yes, it's working." ...... Of course, it's working !! The master did the work !!!! And we are all happy that everyone is more comfortable to not wear jackets. 😊

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks again Richard, very cozy on SV basik tonight!

[@markmateljan260]

Love watching your work Teal, setting a good standard for other DYI guys out there for boat fittings /work.. great job !

[@edrosenberger6947]

While watching you work, it all looks so easy.....until I give it a go.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Come on Ed, If I can do it so can you!

[@fillg]

I've watched a lot of videos of people installing this type of heater, none of them compare to the quality of this install. Good job man.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

I have watched a few myself and am shocked how quickly they throw these units in.

[@jmwarden1]

Another great install, that turned out to be very clean and neat and warm, well-done Teal.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks John!

[@zeekemon]

Excellent!! Excellent work Teal!!

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks zeekemon!

[@SailingFoxyLady]

I love the ducting used. Can't wait to install using your setup as a guide😁

[@martin5504]

It's a pleasure to watch you work.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks for watching Martin!

[@captainmike808]

Excellent install, blown away.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks Mike!

[@CombatDoc54]

Excellent job!!!!

[@mrsethatwood]

You have the best electrical apprentice in the business. Well done family. Merry Christmas!!

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks Seth, Emma is awesome!

[@kricketflyd111]

I like watching you guys work on your home. I have worked in the mechanical field for about 30 years and just love your work ethics. I am disappointed you broke your little finger and did not show the results of the engine compartment with new hoses ect. If you could show the results there at some time I know that would make a lot of us very happy... Stay warm and keep up the happy family...….

[@SkyroofNova72]

Outstanding attention to detail. Love the clean organized space you create.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks!

[@onthebeaches]

"Oh yeah..there we go...it's working." Com'on Teal...did you ever doubt yourself. Nice job...love the sexy thermostats! Also nice seeing your daughter help you with project. Merry Christmas to all! PEACE OUT!

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks, this project is definitely a family affair.

[@AndyWJP]

This looks like a very fun project. Later you can pump the fuel from the main tank and have sensors for fuel flow and temperature feeding into a single-board computer for analysis and automated control etc. Hopefully your diesel exhaust fumes get detoxed before entering the atmosphere.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks Andrew!

[@rgr3427]

Beautiful execution on the installation but I lost it at “Compass, Compass I’m right here, literally right here, here play with my foot” and he attacked your foot ! Thank you sir and your family for making my day, still laughing as I type. Now to watch the remainder of this episode. Happy Holidays to you and the family, especially Compass for making my day.

[@dtonvista]

Teal, I have learned so much from your examples, thank you!

[@nsgkuaov]

Happy and warm Christmas to you all on a miserable wet day here in Ireland

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks, you too!

[@linhgobenyt]

Its been pretty wet and cold here as well. Hang in there, we'll get through it together.....I hope. Lol Happy holidays to you as well. 🎄❄⛄🤗🤗💓💓

[@phygital1]

Well done! Compass is one seriously cute dog.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks John, don't let his cuteness fool you...if anyone comes aboard unannounced, they would leave with skinless ankles.

[@Stubones999]

Toe Nail clippers are the best way to cut zip ties off cleanly. Anything else leaves sharp or jagged edges.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks for the tip Stuart...I will try them!

[@dbb3030]

Impressive work sir, very well done

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks Donny!

[@anjongaustrejr3633]

nice work.... clean and easy access.... and nice maintenance....

[@johne656]

Great job Teal. If things get too hot on the boat then there's always swimming.

[@dam5959]

I have to agree with JAN great job that is the most clean and well organized work area I have ever seen Great Job

[@terrydoerle4465]

I also enjoy watching your work. Merry Christmas to all of you!

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks Terry, Merry Christmas to you too!

[@michaelch5060]

Nice job! Looks great!. Thanks for sharing

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks for watching Michael!

[@jamesbaumann1180]

Incredible! You, my friend, are a master.

[@shotarahatze2064]

U R a prof... Excellent..

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks Shota!

[@Lilou34650]

I could watch your videos all day, it's amazing ❤

[@26snoopy82]

Glad you got some heat before Christmas. It looked cold and wet outside that week. Hope you have a dry, and warm Christmas. I love seeing compass fussing. He reminded me of my dog when she was younger.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Compass is 2 years 1 month old and still acts like a puppy.

[@26snoopy82]

I loved your video glad you got your heating working now. Our old Yorkshire terrier she loved to chase squirrels or voles. She never killed them she just loved the chase. When she was a puppy she was a bad girl when she tour up toilet paper roles. She would sometimes get behind your back and she would just nuzzle her head in your back and the couch cushion as you where sitting down.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Compass does the same things...too funny!

[@26snoopy82]

Can’t wait for your next project coming up. Anyway Merry Christmas!

[@sa1laway]

I’m really enjoying these vids. Hooked from the first. Camera man and editor are doing a great job. You,,,, need help, just kidding Captain. You can do any job but your crew has the patience of Job. Both impressive. May Poseidon forever be at Basik’s back and all aboard.

[@wallywombat164]

you little bewdy, i knew you would find a way, a flexible drill bit. my drilln hero. ha ha ha.

[@mansoornodjoumi5979]

Great job well don

[@trevorbowen7204]

[@Thomas_Speck]

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Merry Christmas to you too Thomas!

[@richardscudds4753]

Another perfect job Teal , well done

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Domo arigato!

[@CheersWarren]

What a well thought out quality install. Cheers Warren

Merry Christmas 🎄

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Merry Christmas to you too!

[@jimjenkins673]

I love it more.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks Dan!

[@johnturner2175]

A tip next time your at the supply store pick up a screwdriver type wrench that you can use on hose clamps, I believe you can even get it in ratchet style. You’ll find easier than a wrench.

[@grumpyg9350]

That was something to be proud of. It must be a good feeling.👌👍

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks Grumpy G! We are getting really close to getting back in the water and sailing. 👍⛵

[@whyme8068]

Nice job and a clean install!

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks.

[@alwayslearningthankyou2708]

Impressive work! Orderly and neat.

[@hb0292]

Great job very neat and well thought out

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks!

[@10alexa10]

Just imagine how much the installation by an external expert would cost. And it would not be as good. Teal is a master.

[@BryanBowser]

Great work and a nice family!

[@glenpeters955]

Great job Emma you really nailed it this time. Amazing really how you can do school, master the violin AND build a catamaran,,,, oh and you were a help to Teal. Merry Christmas to the four of you, have a wonderful holiday.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks Glen, Merry Christmas to you too!

[@garygrissom1031]

Your a master at all sir love you and the family thanks for the entertainment god bless and Merry Christmas

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks Gary, Merry Christmas to you too!

[@robertalexander9931]

Well thought out and looks great.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks Robert.

[@Banjo-lm2wl]

love your relationship. love your house love your progress. xxx

[@JoeTheLion60]

Awesome as usual - Linh don't forget the revenge :-)

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Stop taunting her, I know it's coming...Linh is probably waiting for the lake to ice over a bit before seeking her vengeance!

[@linhgobenyt]

Its coming! Lol

[@HOMadsen]

Great work ones again ! Looks amazing ! Merry Christmas to all 4 for you !

[@akleviathaniii634]

Hey, the planar heater is great, make sure to run it every day or so at full power at least for 10 minutes, or the heater will clogh up. Not that it is difficult to have it clean, but it is a pain in the neck...

[@OnboardLifestyle]

I have heard that as well and will shut it down properly after each use.

[@victormagnusson244]

Congrats on passing 10k subscribers.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks Victor...It was the perfect Christmas gift!

[@jayfitmob8645]

Great work my friends. I hope you and your family have an amazing Christmas. I have to say, your level of OCD makes me so happy, that. I smile through the entire video. It actually makes me ask your trade. I am certain it is in engineering or something similar. I have many years in the field, words like staging trigger jobsite knowledge. Nonetheless.... Great work, and keep your daughter in on it. Good job Mom and Dad. Happy holidays.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks Jay! Watch episode 37 & 38 for our backstory and happy holidays to you too!

[@BabisIntercooler]

Nice, clean and organized as always!Though, i think that the fuel filters are installed the wrong way. Usually there is an arrow showing the fuel flow direction. From what i used so far (this is not my area of expertise) the big volume area of the filter is the "dirty" side where you are supposed to see if the filter is getting clogged.Thanks

[@OnboardLifestyle]

I thought the same thing but installed them according to their arrow. The filters are cheap disposable ones and I plan to upgrade them the first sign of contamination.

[@ahood2959]

Great work on the install! That oily/dirty/smelly diesel is going to drive you crazy!

[@OnboardLifestyle]

It probably will...the good news is that we will be heading south next year and will rarely use the system. :)

[@clayz1]

I wonder what they sound like when on. A happy purr would be great.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

They are very quiet. We love it. 👍

[@walksalone1127]

GREAT SHOW AND FAMILY. LOVE YA ALL.

[@hansh8071]

Awesome job as always Happy Christmas and new year from Holland Hans

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks Hans, Merry Christmas to you too!

[@MrDavidcarp]

Well done man ✊🏿

[@stevenkorsontest]

Please make a video covering your tools, (why you chose them), electrical connectors, where you source them, proper wire and connectors for marine use, crimped, strippers, etc. I worked at a high end mobile electronics install shop 30 years ago and now have a boat needing to be rewired properly. Thanks-

[@OnboardLifestyle]

We will definitely do a video going over our tools and supplies. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@stevenkorsontest]

@@OnboardLifestyle Cool. I could definitely use some coaching on upgrading my wiring from typical "car type" wiring to marine grade wiring, connectors, techniques, and tools. Thanks!

[@Paul7675]

You have vicious women to make you go out and work in the storm, but they are fantastic helpers. Merry Christmas SV Basik crew!

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks Paul, Merry Christmas to you too!

[@linhgobenyt]

I'm a savage about these projects. Lol 😂😂😂😘😘😍😍

[@junsparrow1284]

following here great job!!!!!!

[@rddrg18]

I would like to point out to you that Ryobi makes a fine 18 v impact wrench

[@tealgoben1781]

I have it!

[@daddysails8926]

HI, enjoy your channel. great family! can you give an update on how they are working and fuel usage. amazing refit on your yacht, looking forward to more videos. THX

[@MonkPetite]

Nice job .. well done. It’s a pity you can’t use diesel from the main tank. I had a similar problem on a small boat and we fitted a diesel transfer pump to fill the heater tank.

[@mikesawyer9209]

Received the vid notification while at lunch during our family holiday vacation...all afternoon all I could think of was watching your post....Do I need to find a CL Support group?! Haha! Thanks again for your 1st rate production Teal, Linh and Emma!(Compass too!). Merry Christmas!!

[@mikesawyer9209]

BTW - Would like to see a quick update on the deck finish of the intake and exhaust for heaters.

[@mmanut]

New Subscriber, Very Professional Job. Beautiful Family, Love Your Boat‼️👍👍⛵️. Vinny 🇺🇸

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Thanks for the sub Vinny and welcome to the crew!

[@honorharrington4546]

Buy your neighbor with the fake owl a nice Christmas gift for all the seagull free decks you have enjoyed. :) Happy Christmas!

[@OnboardLifestyle]

Linh makes him a cheesecake every year!

[@linhgobenyt]

I just dropped off creme brulee to them! It was a hit. 🤗🤗

[@lonniecollier699]

Everyone 😊

[@bill4nier]

Very nice! Thanks for sharing. Would have been nice to see the area where mufflers and air filters are and where they exit topside...

[@OnboardLifestyle]

The video ran a bit long so I will approach the subject on next weeks video.

[@JohnPaul-ts8dq]

Invest in an angle drill. They work great for tight spaces. Good job.

[@OnboardLifestyle]

I had one for years and loved it. I only used it only occasionally so I got rid of it when we moved aboard. I do miss it but space and weight is always an issue for us so I most likely won't replace it....maybe.

[@brianmardon7123]

Angle drill for Christmas , Maybe !!

[@OnboardLifestyle]

I had one for years and loved it. I only used it only occasionally so I got rid of it when we moved aboard. I do miss it but space and weight are always an issue for us so I most likely won't replace it....but one never knows. :)
