Ahoy everyone!
My name is Nike and I have been living and sailing on my sailboat Karl since 2013. After a massive refit marathon, I finally cast off the lines and learnt to solo sail my 37-foot Reinke Super 10 that I called "Karl". I am publishing videos about the ups and downs of living, repairing and sailing my boat.
When I started out, I did not know much about DIY boat repair or solo sailing. Since I am still out there, I hope that my story inspires others, to chase their dreams, even if they might think they are not cut out for it. There is always a way, so I'll see you out there!

OIL OIL OIL: Since there are sooo many comments about the dry camshaft and how there was not enough oil in the engine assuming that this was the reason for failure, I will pin this comment to the top in the hope that it will get read ;): The oil level was NOT the reason for the engine failure. The timing belt of my engine slipped, the pistons ran into the valves and the cylinder head cracked. The reason why you see all this rust is because I had left the lid open (I had already decided to repower at that time), went back home to earn money for a new engine and came back 7 months later to tackle the repower. That's why it's so rusty...not because there was no oil in the engine when it stopped working :) But yes, should have checked and changed the timing belt earlier, that one for sure is on me ;) It was a painful lesson to learn. The next engine won't have a timing belt anymore :).

[@jwboll]

Aaaaaaah.. Thanks for the explanation. Otherwise I was going to suggest using oil in your next engine!

[@kimfucku8074]

Just watched the videos where you fitted the new engined and started it the first time and got curious how it all started. Amazing work! How old was the engine?

[@markarrington3869]

Your poor little guy. It's so sad . You should, creamate and save the ashes. OH by the way you are one beautiful lady. Oh and OBVIOUSLY TALENTED.

[@markarrington3869]

Geared timing belts are way better. All others will fail, eventually fail .

[@markarrington3869]

@Hagen van Tronje Ditto have dealt with them before on cars including the gilmer rubber/plastic crap

[@victorwelsford8828]

I am 71yrs old retired mechanic All i can say is that i understand what you have done and have the greatest admiration for you Have many more years safe sailing Cheers Victor

[@petarpetrov8269]

Bro its a german girl see how extremly pedantic she is idk what education she have but its obvious they understand everything she do ....

[@OddLifeCrafting]

You are such an inspiration! Watching this episode made me (Duca) remember why since I first watch your videos for the first time 6 years ago I thought it was possible to do anything in life if we really commit to it!! Now six years later here we are, refiting our own sailboat. Thanks so much!!

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

And look where you are now!!! BTW, LOVE the color of your boat. Plus, you won't have problems identifying it in a crowdy anchorage ;).

[@OddLifeCrafting]

@@WhiteSpotPirates hehehehe it will help for sure the color!! And who knows, if one day you see a little really bright orange spot arriving on an anchorage it might be us. hehehehehe

[@daneschuck]

I admire you. You will tackle anything. You have my total respect.

[@captaindave47]

Its not just women in Panama who would not remove the engine, no women anywhere would tackle that job single handed except you and most likely Maria. You are remarkable and an amazing woman. I have been sailing for 50 years now and run dozens of different boats commercially and there is no way I would even contemplate many of the jobs you take on, you are inspirational. This is by far the best sailing channel on You Tube. I never get tired of watching your episodes . keep them coming please.

[@sundancer3700]

You are one hard working woman, glad to see all went well. It was touching to see you get a little chocked up talking about all your memories with Karls heart.

[@jamesmoriarty5148]

Defining moments of this channel is not the exploring of screen saver islands but the battling of sailing horrors. Your worst days make for the best episodes.

[@cigarmann]

I really love how you think through a process in its entirety. Shows real intelligence.

[@Al.W7263]

For what it's worth, I have a lot of respect for you. You never cease to amaze me.

[@majesticmark6054]

An amazing wonderful, cheerful, delightful, hard working Lady with more grit and determination than you could shake a stick at. Been watching from the very first episode and I am always impressed!

[@d.lagumbi9230]

Super impressed. That would have been a difficult removal on the hard with help, and you did it alone at anchor. You are a rockstar!!!

[@tukkerintensity5575]

I want my daughters to watch your videos. You are inspiring, resourceful, courageous, compassionate, beautiful and can do anything! thank you.

[@michaelhaller8495]

You are so impressive you rock girl. It is great to see someone getting in there and having a go. I would never have been able to pull this engine out. X

[@MichaelJohnson-mh7mp]

I'm glad you recorded the removal, I thought I had missed it or something. I loved that you lamented the loss of the old engine, that shows the level of your character.

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

Michael Johnson no worries, I would not keep that footage from you 😜. We had only decided to do the live feed back then cuss it was such an important moment and o wanted to share it right away rather then waiting 3 months. But I see how the live feed causes more confusion than anything so I guess we should not do them..or maybe just on a different platform. Ahoy, Nike & Karl

[@thierymorris4763]

I would like to make one correction. When your friend came to collect the old engine he was surprised that ANYONE could do something so difficult, at sea, alone. Your problem is. You have never been told you can't, so you do. Congratulations.

[@tedsmith6137]

3:30 That is the first time I have ever seen a rusty camshaft in an engine that was supposed to have been running!

[@michaelovitch]

If the valve cover breather hose is in the open air,like in a catch can ,marine ambiant air enter by there and rust the cam,degrade the oil etc... It's a mistake on marine application looks like. Better to redirect the breather hose in the intake plenum ,or having a good air filter on the catch can.

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

The reason it's so rusty is because it has been sitting around open like that for six months whilst I was away earning money for a new engine. It was all nicely lubed when the "accident" happend.

[@Ankan..]

@@WhiteSpotPirates Why dident you just take the cylinderhead of? Or was it time for a hole renovation anyway.

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

@@Ankan.. a rebuild of the engine would have been a bit over a third of a New engine. The rest of the old engine was not in a very good state, either. I have had so much trouble with this beast that I decided to go new. Easier to maintain, less hassle, more reliable, safer for myself.

[@Ankan..]

@@WhiteSpotPirates I see, Yea that seems reasonable enuff. Well it's great seeing you just getting in ther and getting it done! Great girl power and I wish you all the best.👍

[@queenofyeay]

WOW, I am a diesel/heavy equipment mechanic with over 30 experience and when you lifted that valve cover on the old Ford I was stunned by the amount of rust in there. Never have I seen a recently running engine look that bad... heck there are engines I have seen that have sat out in the elements with their valve covers off that have looked better! You were right to buy a new engine. Of course just about anything can be repaired with enough money and parts thrown at it, but I think your decision to buy a new Beta was a wise one! As an experienced mechanic I seriously doubt that you'll ever regret that choice.

[@000001willy]

You are one amazing lady. Impressive. Not many sailors would tackle taking out their engine from their boat. The one thing you demonstrated is that it is possible if you take your time and you are determined. Great video.

[@Senerian]

When you retire from sailing all over the world you should be a sail boat engineer, or professional captain. You are one of the most resourceful people on the planet.

[@janezjonsa3165]

Well, she's just not... What she's mildly capable, is to show on yt. And here's no substance. Its just a variety of narcisism.

[@SailingTranquilityBay]

You've given us yet another reminder that we need to change our timing chain. Nice work.

[@manfredschmalbach9023]

When I saw my first Karl-vids, boat recently bought and still on the hard, leaky like a sieve and resembling just a crappy heap of aluminium oxide kept together by rotting ply, nasty corrosion products and some sticky dirt, I wasn't even doubting that You would creep out of this adventure beaten and devastated sooner than later. Girl was I wrong! After this engine extraction I do have to send You best wishes and my best bloody supportive "keep it up!" to compliment You on Your attitude of "... well, so; and what will be next?". Well done so far, You gain on inspirational quality of sorts with every inch of Your learning curve!

[@kevinskwirz9120]

I admire the sailors that work hard, whose things are not handed to them on a silver platter. Though I'm sure that would be nice from time to time. Just started watching your Channel. Love your outlook. MacGyver has nothing on you. Cheers

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

It sure feels well deserved when you sweated through a big project to get where u want to be. Nothing wrong with getting things a little easier, either, though...in my opinion. It’s great when people give others support and it will enable you to pay it forward one day.

[@GCraigmile]

Great Video 👍👍👍👍👍.. You got a small taste of what I do for a living as a heavy fleet mechanic.. Outstanding work jumping in there and getting it done.. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@karenwilliams2193]

Heavy sigh, I felt so bad when you were breaking down the engine. 😔 It's a part of Karl and you have gone through so much together, ups and downs. So, now Karl is getting a heart transplant and soon you'll be able to have fun again and explore new places! ❤ Nike, keep living your dream and stay safe. Hugs, 😍😚

[@TowerHand]

Great job, I knew you could do it, since you already had! Almost brought tears to my eyes from your recollections and seeing a trusty old Ford Diesel at the end of it's life. Both my vehicles are Ford Diesels.

[@scamela21]

WTH!! You have totally amazed me..No..you have totally astonished me. You go girl live your best life as we watch sitting on the sidelines.

[@00708046]

I noticed that some guys don't think that this was a big feat . You're at sea without guidance or help and it's not a 1 man job yet you do it for the first time ever and succeed with all fingers still on your hands ! I'd say that those guys can't say anything good about anyone , so they are the incapable ones ! Congrats ! Superman would be impressed !

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

:) Thanks, Stephen, that's sweet of you to say. Of course, someone who has done this before or has education in this area would have been faster and more professional, I am not doubting that...But it sure did feel like an accomplishment to me. And I know many women who are afraid of engine work, I was, too, at first. They are big and loud and scary and one always thinks "oh gosh, I am gonna break something". I think that many men have less initial "fear" when it comes to playing with engines. That's why I wanted to stress the "girl power" in this video. Not because I wanted to brag but because I want to show that anybody can do anything, man or woman, you just have to put your heart on it. But maybe some men don't like that approach ;).

[@trbowlin]

I had a relationship like that with an engine in a Fiat 124 Spider. Sorry to see it go too with the slipped timing belt and cracked block. Excellent video!

[@garthrichert5256]

A wonderful resourceful young Lady. Well done, and bless you.

I couldn't believe the title so I couldn't resist watching another one of your videos. OK, I'm really hooked now!

[@michaelquestion103]

Why is it that the world always seems brighter when we get to see you and Maria smiling!! Don't feel bad about having to pull out Karl's engine, even though we watched it happen awhile ago, it was time. There was a real love/hate thing going with you two. In the end you said it yourself, you lacked the confidence in his engine to get you where you wanted to go. Loving the vids, your story and your friends. Just wondering if you call Karl's new engine Erik, as is Erik the Red?

[@rondejoux8006]

Great work, its not easy getting an engine out of a boat.

[@theladyjaiproject576]

Niki, it never ceases to amaze me the jobs you tackle. I love to watch your videos because you never let anything get in your way, and that is great!! You have my deepest admiration!!!

[@khyvich]

I feel your pain. I once had a stereo boom box, the first thing I bought with a credit card in like 1986. It finally went dead in or around 2013. I put in in the trash and took it out maybe five times before letting it go. You can get attached to things emotionally. That radio kept me company for twenty-something years. Insert weepy emoji here. Take care.

[@CoolAirVw]

Your unbelievable! Amazing that you were able to do all this!

[@wildman1932]

I am a hot rod builder and mechanic. You amaze me! Your brain works so cool! It's just freaky COOL! I will say, as dry as the cam shaft looked, you may have lost an oil pump.

[@deerhunter7482]

Great job ,you were evidently raised right !

[@maxiumgolf1]

Great job! It's nice to know the ins and outs of what it is that we take pride in. I always giggle when I see a suite and tie on the side of the road with a flat tire. Set your goals and accomplish them.

[@stephenmurray9850]

No wonder the old engine died.. seeing the cam and lifters totally dry of oil makes me think your oil pump stopped working ages ago. Lucky the old motor kept going as long as it did. Congrats on doing the removal yourself. Keep up the great video's really enjoying seeing how you are going.

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

Stephen Murray the oil pump and level were just fine. When I opened the lid to check the cam shaft / valves / cilynder head back then, it was all covered nicely on oil. But since there were cracks in the cylinder head and I had decided to take the old engine out, I had not closed the lid so it sat like that for 4-5 months...so it's not very surprising it dried out and started rusting a bit 🤣 but I can see how that is a bit confusing if one only sees this picture. Ahoy, Nike & Karl

[@sailingdijan9128]

Awesome! Your the best! Every EP I watch makes me think I better get moving! Love it.

[@davidstephens1092]

Hi again Nike, well here I am back again after viewing 4 seasons of untie the lines. I hope the ankle / heel is improving. I wish I could find the right words to tell you how much I admire your determination to accomplish your dream. You have been through so many hardships and rather than see them as a brick wall you have treated them like the waves of a storm and risen over them and in doing so you appear to have gained satisfaction in doing so. I trust that your parents are extremely proud of you, although they probably think your totally crazy LOL. I made a few notes along the way, so I'll just run through them. (1 )Season i when you drilled out the broken bolts I was super impressed, it's one of the things that I often get called upon to do for work and often even by mechanics. While I personally think nothing of doing it myself, very few people are any good at it. (2) If you need to use paint stripper again have some plastic sheet and duct tape ready to put over the area after you apply the stripper, it stops it drying out and gives much better results. Also dobing seems to be more effective than brushing when applying the stripper. (3) season i # 3 a spray can of canola cooking oil works very well to start a diesel engine although you shouldn't have that problem for a long time. Just while I'm talking about your Beta engine , from what I've seen you have probably planned or are going to get a 36mm socket for the drive flange nut and a spare oil seal or two, you may want to consider a stainless steel "speed-i-sleeve" . They are a repair system for when a seal contact surface is damaged. It comprises of a sleeve with a removable flange for installation and a cup for driving it on. (4) season ii #23 there is 1 minute of nothing at the end. Sack your editor Ha Ha (5) season iv #45 What happened to shaving your hair off on your crossing the equator? I'm actually glad you didn't . Also at 9.58 the Latitude has me confused , I always assumed that Bahia de Caraquez was in the southern hemisphere. Maybe you should sack him. Nah but give him hell. I've seen you do fish a lot of different ways but one I haven't seen you try is to take a Kaffa lime leaf and chop it and an onion very fine and add a bit of coconut oil in a pan , sit the fish on top and put a lid on it and let the juices steam the fish. You mite also like to try sherry instead of coconut oil. If ever you get over my way Southeast Queensland Australia , I'd be honored to show you around, especially Fraser Island and if you have time on the way don't miss Lord Howe Island. If you have a list of jobs that would be fine too. Anyhow look after that ankle. Dave

[@Jimjettrain333]

Wow cant believe how rusty that cam shaft was. You made the right decision to replace the old boy.

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

OldMan Mick oh that had been open for a while which is why it got so rusty. Before the engine broke it was all looking oiled and smooth. It was only because I had not closed it properly after the inspection and finding the cracks because there was just no reason to take care of it... Ahoy, Nike & Karl

[@jasonhauck7011]

Looks like the cam froze due to lack of oil. Too much rust for it to have been getting proper lubrication.

[@MrEddiekessler]

Congratulations, I just changed my port engine on my 32 foot cruiser. I did not atempt it, untill I was up on hard standing in the nice safe harbour with six friends and a few locals on hand to shout instructions, a hydraulic crane, and it still took me three days.

[@svdellajean253]

Hey Nike, congratulations 🤙. You have a lot to be proud of. Did you have the chain falls on board or did the guy taking away your engine provide them? Very smart to make a temporary mount for the shaft. The part the transmission is attached to on the engine is normally called the bell housing.

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

I'm impressed by ANYONE (male or female) that is able to perform such a mechanical task - damn good job, it's completely beyond my abilities. It's also very interesting to note how men and women relate to and react to this sort of job: the degree and nature of their emotional attachment to the mechanical device itself.

[@davidstephens1092]

It must be very frustrating when people add a comment without first reading what others have , ie the rusty camshaft. Good on you and any lady who drinks beer and rum is ok in my books. A tip for you , when it comes to any meat and even if it is only for a short time exposure to air affects it. So when you put it in the zip-loc bags close them nearly all the way and lower the bag and meat into cold water till the open corner is just out of the water and when all the air is pushed out zip it up, you will notice your meat won't dry out, especially fish and chicken.

[@WhiteSpotPirates]

Hi David, it is a bit frustrating, but that's just because I get 50x the same comment and have to answer to it as if it were the first one to make this wrong assumtion. One cannot expect people to carefully listen to the whole video and especially not to read all the comments. That's just not how people "consume" KZbin videos. Sometimes they just read the title and see the thumbnail and make a comment without even watching a second of the vid. I usually don't watch or comment much on other people's videos, because I usually don't have enough time or internet. I am in bed with a broken heel and have way more time and internet than usual...so I commented on one or two recycling videos. And guess what: did a similar thing, hahaha. KZbin / social media can be a bit of a challenge at some time...it's 1:many and one puts their heart out there with the best intentions and it can be at times painful or frustrating to read some of the comments. But it's part of the game and one has to learn to take a distance from it and not see every critical comment as an attack - which is still not always simple, even after six years of doing it ;). Anyhow, thanks for the advice with the meat, that's a good one. Cheers, Nike

[@davidstephens1092]

@@WhiteSpotPirates Thanks for replying Nike , that broken ankle doesn't sound good and from experience it will be a lengthy recovery, especially on a boat. I've only recently found your channel, but I am already admiring your determination and attention to detail, especially with the alignment of the prop shaft coupling. I figure I'll be busy for a while working my way through your adventures. Thank-you for sharing them, I am sure many people would be inspired by them. I guess the old saying of "Sticks and stone may break my bones but words will never harm me" is apt for social media. Good luck with the ankle and if you haven't already see a physio as soon as possible. Cheers Dave

@@davidstephens1092 Have fun watching. I pinned a comment to the top about the oil in the hope it will stop the comments cause I am getting a bit tired about the copy-pasting, hahaha.

The reason the cam shaft rusts is because when the engine stops the hot oil drains away leaving the shaft dry. Then during cooling condensation occurs in the top section of the engine. The answers on aero engines was to add apre oiling pump and run it now and then to keep the top end lubed up.

Like harvesting a dead body? Is there something you forgot to tell us? Good use of the boom to pull the engine out. Nike what seal is leaking on the transmission? Any chance it could be over filled? Did they plug the breather for shipping and it is still plugged. Stay safe.

Uncle Muir I was wondering if I overfilled it when I did the fluid change cause that's when it started. It's really hard to read the dipstick since the ATF is really hard to see. I had drained some out but it is still leaking. Will check the breather, thx for the hint! It's the seal where he shaft comes out that is leaking. I thought either overfilling or alignment but have not checked the latter yet...but overfilling seems kinda likely to me since it started after the fluid change...

"Untie The Lines Charters", oh sister, I am lost. But then, the new engine went in before the old engine came out, so anything is possible with Untie The Lines.
