• ENGINE FAILURE IN REMO...

[@creativecutter]

Love the "day in the life" episode! Always something with a boat maintenance! Sorry to hear about the drone. All the best!!!

[@tomas5376]

When I was sailing I probably fixed 100+ vessels that had a variety of problems. Many of the problems were in desperate need of a spare, but the owners didn’t have one. If you’re going off shore on the high seas, be sure that you have spares for all vital parts and systems, necessary manuals, and the knowledge and ability to make everything work.

[@leeoldershaw956]

You can usually bypass a starter solenoid with exposed terminals by shorting them with a big old screwdriver. It might slightly damage the screwdriver when it arcs

[@chickendanny]

You know us loyal viewers always wish you the best of luck and smooth sailing.

[@robertbiron]

Perhaps on your next drone you might consider a floating one or strapping some lightweight foam under the frame so you can recover it if needed. Talulah is such a firecracker and so cute and beautiful too; she is steeling the show from you, what are you going to do? Good job on the starter, now you're on your way.

[@erichcollar9810]

Omg, the shot with the little frother and the dolphins is amazing. (8:26)

[@hbmilo7853]

We maybe able to get you another drone.. People would support that as you are a lovely genuine family taking us along for the ride, looking forward to the journey 😊

[@martinjeffrey6355]

Really wished I had stayed in Cape Town. Would love to have met you, Champs. You are such a powerful family. 1700km from Cape Town. Enjoy it and safe sailing, guys. Much love and respect. Cheers

[@krafthaus8378]

Nice work on the starter Yosh! Nothing like some Boat Yoga to keep you in shape. Cheers you three!!!

[@tophatter15]

So glad that it's all working out. Great to see Marley is with you!! Froth on!!!

[@RiverWoods111]

Awesome that you were able to get that starter motor going again. I can't imagine the frustration because you are in a remote area. I hope you ordered two extra starter motors to have on hand. I guess you got this one running.

[@garywatson4142]

Was nice to meet you in Negombo,Bonita.All the best Gary and Nicki

[@user-tj7rd9ww7x]

YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO LOVE SOUTH AFRICA.WE ARE SO SIMILAR TO AUSTRALIA

[@Tjoops1]

Great to hear you coming to South Africa, hope to see you in port in Cape Town, will be watching out for that!!

[@beaudwayful]

Glad the starter is fixed! Can't wait for more awesome vids!

[@janaferreira8882]

Can't wait to see what you get up to Here in South Africa!!

[@davidbrooks4131]

Have a great trip The New boat looks really good

[@pauljacquemin5909]

If in doubt hit the starter motor with a hammer that's what we used to do on the Holden, thanks for another great video. WD 40 is also good for electrical issues.

[@IanHobday]

Sorry to hear about the drone! So frustrating when things like that happen. Safe travels!

[@davidc6510]

Hello Legends!!! Such issues before the great adventure and I am glad to hear that the issue with the engine was only a minor clean on the starter solenoid. Thanks for sharing another great video. Yew!

[@Its_me--Boo_Radley]

Whew! Another nail-biter! So sorry you lost your drone. Glad your starter motor was able to be repaired so you can be off on your adventures again.

[@colinstobbart599]

The isolation switch may need cleaning. Take it out dry it clean with brass brush put back in.

[@lyndeebrider2340]

Love you guys your the best BUT yosh the fringe HMMMM !!!!!! 😮

[@donnapage6027]

Seriously, I love them but geez, a buzz cut maybe? Anything! I'm sorry! Love you guys!

[@spacemonkey-yj7ss]

beef up earth from engine to ground. should have multiple earth to ground leads. at least 2 ground off engine.

[@IEnigIMa]

Tap the starter solenoid with a hammer…usually gets you by. That place looks hot…sweaty….Marley won my heart. ❤

[@davidlevitz3119]

STAY COURAGEIOUS ! YOU GOT THIS !

[@deanostevenson9238]

A lot off enjoying your channel

[@kennetw42]

"Onya" Marley. Josh, you are a worry for me. Indian Ocean !! Go kindly, I hope

[@user-hk2vp7il4o]

inspiration legends , keep it going strong team

[@breakemup6532]

I cant wait. I started watch with 30 videos made. you were still in the great barrier reef. I am so excited to see what is next!

[@davidc3572]

The minute you started describing your voltage dynamics, I suspected your starter. But I figured that it was cooked and needed to be rewound and renewed. You lucked out a bit. Hopefully you'll find a decent spare. Great video. Hopefully you'll get to relax soon! (BTW... my drone crashes almost every time I fly it!)

[@TammyBillings-qt1ve]

Going to be an exciting adventure.

[@8marcrara11]

Well done crew🧿🌺🐝🐉🏴‍☠️🇦🇺

[@faizalfuad75]

Good luck and take care...hope you share your good experience in Malaysia... I saw Nandji1 in Pangkor and Terengganu participated in Sail Malaysis recently...

[@clifflong1203]

Nice work mate! Doers and posers…. always want to be the former when sailing! Well done!💪👊

[@Charlie-Oooooo]

Great video guys! When's the surfin safari? Best to you!

[@jesswilson366]

So sad you lost the drone!!! So frustrating.

[@mikefife3918]

Nice work! RIP new drone

[@1sweetmess]

Maybe a lesson learned for the future should you have to clean the solenoids or keep a spare. Lol. I'm glad you all got it fixed!

[@jayman9056]

Man ! That brought the biggest smile ! Enjoy the fruits of your labor

[@taxalterror]

Glad you got the engine going, remember if your batteries read 12V it means it is a 12v battery, a doorbell battery can be 12V.. it's the Amps you need to check.

[@timlamarre8680]

This was a great video. Dealing with a slew of tasks and challenges, it's encouraging to see you overcome one. Thank you for posting. That drawing was quite impressive!

[@Nico101.....]

Love your channel Nice to her your starter is fixed. When you get to CapeTown look into stopping of in Saldanha Bay. Smooth water for anchoring. And also for boat repairs if needed....lolol And if you need anything you can contact me. How is it going with the new bun in the oven? Keep safe and smooth sailing.

[@danielmclellan7762]

I was like CLEAN THE SOLENOID DAMNIT Lesson learned! I was yelling at you when you started getting frustrated 😂.

[@000001willy]

God must be watching over you Frothers. Getting a starter repaired in no man's land. What luck. Glad you got things fit. Rock on!!!

[@mattschaal5578]

You've come a long way from replacing a shroud with a rope. Looks like your ready to go.

[@johnmccormick175]

Sorry about your starter problems and the loss of your drone,your abilities to overcome problems is admirable.Wishing you a safe trouble free passage,thanks for sharing .

[@anonymousanonymous5332]

Great attitude guys so stressful

[@petercaras3696]

Dude, engine failure is when a piston comes through the block, not a solenoid that only needs to be cleaned up. Fair winds and following seas on your way across the Indian ( mother fooking) Ocean. I spent 10 months on Diego Garcia in 1971. A wooden ketch with 3 Aussies on board stopped there and gave me the sailing bug.

[@jmtiptonengland]

Happy you got the starter sorted, well done: can you say something how your electrics all come together, especially now you have the washing machine

[@ralphguderjahn5571]

Thanks

[@mgunning7362]

you said it yourself, only 10v at the starter. Even tho you fixed the solenoid yoy gotta find where youe losing the 2.8volts. Use your voltmeter to read the voltage drop along the positive cable, select a manual voltage range (not auto) on the meter (smallest range higher than 12V). put red probe on batt positive, black probe on starter positive stud. It will read zero before you start cranking, when cranking it will read the voltage loss along the cable. Do same for negative cable. After you find and fix the voltage drop your starter will crank much faster. PS think a bit dodgy charging starter batt from DCDC, too many points of possible failure and also inefficient. it should be charged direct from altenator. Mark

[@claverton]

Good result with the starter motor! What a good boy Mali is! The way he stands there being washed and enjoying it. He's so good.

[@jamarie1972]

Great job guy’s, from you two stuffed in the car driving up to see Nandji 1 to now sailing across the Indian Ocean. You’ve overcome so many obstacles but always end with a smile on your faces. Take care fair winds, all the very best to you all from us in Southwest England

[@kristaready8812]

So glad you got that sorted!! Safe travels 🤗💞

[@mattcarroll106]

I know what you’re going through, it’s so disheartening.I own a VW VANAGON,I’ve been through 5 motors! Best of luck.

[@patrickandmichaela]

I could completely feel the pain of that starter being in the absolute worst engine position, 4 hours later, with two cans of wd40 and a pile of tools laying about. It just always ends up that way doesn't it? Great work on getting it fixed! Loved seeing the slower sailing life in this video, y'all are such an inspiration!

[@loisphillips5826]

Awe, too bad about your drone, Thanks for sharing your videos. Always enjoy.

[@aaronnunn5240]

Pull up the sails and roll start her!

[@DYoung-vt8pq]

Love you guys! I wish you didn't have to split up, but you know what you're doing. Safe travels. ❤

[@leonaessens4399]

I always get a bit nostalgic when I watch your videos in that part of the world. It used to be "my" world, too, born in Medan but also knowing Padang well because I used to live there in my teens. My sister was born in Padang although we eventually moved to Jakarta. Decades later I found myself in Indonesia again, as well as Brunei/Sarawak, Singapore and Manila. Now I am 83 years old, live in North Queensland and I will never see any of it again. I find myself watching some of your videos two or three times! I find myself being nervous about your Indian Ocean crossing but at the time of writing I believe you're already well on your way to Mauritius. Vaya con Dios!

[@Stakman1]

I hate to see you having problems, but I love the celebration when you get it figured out! Thanks for sharing!

[@1sheinz]

Sucks about the drone. ALWAYS SET HOVER IN PLACE, For Return To Home. At least you then have some time to go back and retrieve it . CHEERS AND FAIR WINDS Steve h.

[@johnmalenchek6597]

glad you solved the starter issue. Good luck on trip south

[@louis220558]

So glad you got the starter going

[@brianboys9015]

Cool bananxs

[@ralfretter5674]

Love your videos ❤

[@tiborkiss9186]

great job.

[@bobr8766]

You learn something with the starter mate...the mechanic probably took the solenoid apart and flipped the washer contact...we used to do that when the contact washer was burned on one side...Cheers and safe travels!!

[@vojtechtantos6000]

ALL THE BEST FOR YOU !!!!!! from Prag.....

[@millzee60]

Airalo have eSims for Indonesia so these should work without issue.

[@goofsaddggkle7351]

Phew I could feel the frustration - but like all problems they can be solved with some effort and investigation. Glad you got this sorted out!

[@robertnixon3816]

Enjoy these snapshots of your lives. Really good video! Sorry about the drone Yosh.😢 i can only imagine the words you were saying getting that starter motor out! Worst of places! Hoping for a little more wind to Padang! Sail on!

[@clivevanzyl3287]

Great vidio

[@leslierichmond497]

Good work mate your a legend but please loose the dreadlocks cobber.

[@pablosdog2808]

The little engine that could....or could not....

[@michelebushnik2874]

Gosh this was so calm and lovely to watch at the beginning, then all heck broke loose! Thank the dear Lord you got your starter fixed, and yes get a spare, and get your water maker under control! Stinking Marley made me laugh! Dogs love exploring stink! I hope he hasn't brought on board a bacterial pathogen, for him or you all. Do you have a first aid kit for Marley? Might want to consider that? Love you guys! Best travels ever ahead❤❤❤

[@randymittan7494]

Famous last words of every sailor ever, “ hopefully we’re done with all the projects- now we can sit back and enjoy the fruits of our labor “ lol

[@peterdeheus7386]

Sorry to hear about your drone. I think the reason for that you lost it, was that you didn’t have “Return to home” set to your controller, but it was set to your starting point. I have been following you for years, and really love to be a part of your life. Take care

[@stuartdeane9618]

What size pot did you use to cut your hair ?

[@theoceandragonfly]

It's working 👏👏🥳

[@dustylense]

UNDERWAY!!!!!

[@andrewthompson2380]

I always carried a spare starter motor when doing chartering and it came in handy best if you can get a spare

[@vojtechtantos6000]

bravo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@gregmason2208]

There's always something. Good luck.

[@superwag634]

100% worn commutator in the starter or the brushes.

[@robertdayton5503]

You didn't have an issue before you added electrical load...so you might have to toss the washing machine to protect the starter...but it's your call

[@FrothLyfeSailingNandji]

😂

[@kennethodette1352]

why not carry bushings and brushes? It wouldn't hurt to try and rebuild your starter. Or wait weeks for a maybe fix.

[@americanbornwalkaway9110]

GOOD thing it got fixed WOOOO HOOOOo

[@gerardwise67]

👍🏻

[@cleanriver2]

We'd watch you even if you filmed on a 1998 flip phone. Froth on Westward!

[@fishbustin7926]

Say hello to Friar Tuck.

[@ianprice2298]

Isn’t that the second drone that ditched on you this way?

[@archstanton9206]

Boy that is a crappy way to start for sure Could see the misery on both of ya. Yosh since you have a new starter coming might be worth seeing if a kit is available for the old one to replace the brushes etc and at least have all that stuff on board for down the road. Hauling spares is a pain, but it beats the heck outta not having them. Loos like the solenoid is a sperate deal, maybe one of them too... I know you can make things work if ya have the parts...having the parts is the trick right?

[@thomasthornton5737]

😀😀👍👍❤❤

[@lukewilliams9082]

Just get a tourist sim, no need to import the phone.

[@acptelford1307]

Okay. Two nights at sea. Just interested. Where does Marley go to the toilet, get exercise? And no floats on a $2000 drone used over water?

[@bumonthemove]

re Drone if you can proof to DJI that it was a malfunction of the drone.they may sent you a replacement.

[@faircompetition1203]

Question : why don't you get a floating waterproof drone ? Not throwing shade , I assume there is a reason like battery life or range and am curious as I contemplate getting one for my boat .

[@ozlakota1]

my drones cost 20-40k so dont worry its just how they are
