Fixing Up My 30yr Old ITALIAN YACHT!

[@justinnolan3667]

When anchored the boat needs to be able to rotate and point into the wind or tide. Anchoring from both sides is a good way to capsize.

[@RLC2020]

Yeah, you can tell he knows nothing about boating.

[@benellebrecht9990]

I was thinking the same thing. Although maybe he had the idea of anchoring both sides when they are out in the bay partying or whatever. I know when he first got the boat that's what they did. Anchoring both ends in a situation like that is probably fine, just don't do that overnight when you aren't awake to fix it when things go south....

[@douglaspealing5608]

Can more people like this so he sees it.

[@unusuallatitudes8918]

Came here to post this. Also, that's likely not enough chain for the size and weight of that boat. The anchor keeps the chain in place. The weight of the chain on the bottom keeps the boat in place.

[@douglaspealing5608]

@@unusuallatitudes8918 he needs at least quadruple what he's got I'd say.

[@edjlxrd]

This boat was what KZbin recommended to me over a year ago, and first introduced me to the channel. So ecstatic to see it making a comeback.

[@Aostovitz]

Not trying to Monday morning quarterback ya here but the anchor looks a little small for the size of the boat. I think you also need far more chain then you have. Anchors have some serious engineering involved and while they do dig into the bottom the chain is actually what holds the boat in place, not the anchor. The ratio is usually 4-5 times the chain length per foot of water depth. This increases to 5-7, or more, times the length of chain per foot of depth in bad weather. So 20 feet of water requires anywhere from 80-100 feet of chain in the water. There are also anchors specifically built for rocky bottoms, sandy/muddy bottoms and ocean anchors. They can be quite expensive but they are the only thing keeping your boat from drifting into the rocks and sinking while you're sleeping.

[@bflo716]

You’re a little high on your chain to water depth ratio. Here in buffalo on the very strong current Niagara river we use about 3-4 foot of chain per foot of water. However, that doesn’t change your point. He needs to rethink what he did.

[@alexioskontoleon4287]

Boats aren't cars. You have to use the proper equipment. You need a much bigger & heavier anchor with a much longer and thicker chain. The anchor you made is very small and light. It will also rust and stain your boat. As far as the deck music equipment, you should buy a marine type one with marine speakers. If not, it will be dead within a few months.

[@benjamindavies1188]

Also that anchor looks almost the same size as I use to anchor my 14foot dinghy, it looks way to small for a big boat and the chain is way too short

[@drewd1726]

Have a blast bud. Live in P-Town and have a home and float house in Astoria. See you on the river. Anchor is going to be fine for as little as you’re going to use it...yeah...remember...boats aren’t cars. Wtf is that? The world is full of Einstein’s.

[@SirDavothe2]

You dove really deep into anchors but seem to have missed what he is trying to do. THIS IS NOT THE MAIN ANCHOR it is secondary to try and reduce the swing of the boat. I'm guessing if the marine shop told him what size and weight anchor he needed than it is probably correct.

[@styletokill]

That anchor is gonna leave a nice rusty stain trail lying in that basket wet after use. There is a reason that most achors are made of aluminum or galvanized steel! Totally agree that the achor is wrong for the boat...

As a full time detailer, I would recommend more of a gelcoat specific compound, which cuts harder and will give way better results, also 1,000 grit wet is used on gelcoat to get previous sand marks out, I would definitely recommend using a different set of grits, I would go using a 600 or 800 dry to a 1200 dry for more time and then a 1500 dry for even more time than that, and finish off with either a 3,000 or 5,000 wet followed by medium cut and glaze for a showroom shine

[@Failociraptor]

[@JB-mk4ry]

Wouldn't even do that... There's barely any haze on that gel coat. 3M Finesse-it and a wool pad on a buffer will take care of that fine without any cutting.

On some engines the "breather line" goes into the air cleaner housing after the spark arrester / filter to re-burn the blow by gasses and prevent carbon monoxide buildup in the engine compartment

[@Ms_Princess_Zelda]

Yeah I was thinking that it’s jetting oil if it’s overfilled but carbon monoxide is a killer, esp if it leaks into the cabin.

[@babelsalot]

I was thinking more along the line of the the breather line drips oil onto the cleaner to keep them oiled, like a JLT or KNN?

[@kyo778]

Came here to say this as well. Be careful to maintain ventilation when working on the engine with this mod. Safest not to have it. It's also not very environmentally friendly as the idea of redirecting it to the intake is to burn everything in a subsequent pass.

[@aggonzalezdc]

(why i know wtf Im talking about: Internationally licensed sailing yacht skipper) Ok, I wont say that you can NEVER use two anchors (like some are saying), generally speaking, we use a single anchor that has sufficient chain length to keep the boat stable, and allow enough room from land and other boats on all sides for the boat to swing around. This is the simplest arrangement. If you are going to be awake (like while fishing) using two anchors will usually be fine, as you will be around to fix any issues that arise, if you are doing this to sleep, things get more complicated. You can use dual anchors, or land lines (lines that run from the stern of the boat to a good anchored spot on the land straight astern of the boat), to keep the boat pointed in a single direction. We do so in some bays and coves in the Mediterranean where anyone who anchors uses either dual anchors or an anchor and land line so that everyone can stay in one place and be sure everyone has enough depth in a shallow cove. Keep in mind that in that situation, we always know where the waves will come from (from the end of the bay facing the sea) and any strong wind will usually be from the same place (as the land will be a wind break and will slow winds considerably). If you are going to do this I would recommend a stronger anchor and MUCH more chain (proper anchor chain, not what you are using now, it is expensive, and it is necessary), as you will need to rely on it. If you will run aground or hit another boat unless your boat stays in one place, then you need to be able to depend on your secondary anchor to keep you in place no matter what. Thats not the simplest thing though, on the mid size (40-70ft) sailing yachts we usually use a dinghy to carry the other anchor out a decent distance, then use one of our winches to tighten the anchor line in order to set the secondary. You likely have neither a dinghy nor winches, which further complicates things. You dont always need the winch (we dont need them on the smaller (45ft or less) yachts), but you will need a way to put the secondary a decent distance away from your boat. You might have an inflatable rowed dinghy you could do this with, please dont try to swim it, it feels ok for about 10 ft and then you drown... Overall, if you are going to do anything other the simplest situation (single anchor, properly set, with enough room to swing), then I recommend doing some reading from a reputable source (many good books on the subject) AND I would say to get a short training course as well. You may have to travel a bit to get good, proper training (as I did for my lincense), but nothing beats proper training from an expert. Please be safe, and have fun!

[@mitchpender8113]

Awesome response and great information from obviously someone who understands anchoring a larger boat , deploying setting and retrieving a set anchor set from the stern of a yacht is a complicated process a dingy is definitely needed to deploy and retrievie stern anchors , if the weather gets heavier it can be a real task to retrieve the anchor which needs to be unset , i like a line running tp the head of the anchor with a float attached to lpull back against the set, getting a fouled stern anchor is a real task and without the line to unlload the set it often can result in losing your hook . For me the negative aspect of deploying a stern anchor far outweighs any benefit you can expect , its a anchoring solution that should only be used by someone with a bit of experience and only when seas wind and current are almost non existent.. If the seas where you have anchored are making the boat move and roll and you are considering adding a stern anchor to stabilize the boat , its too complicated/and an inappropriate time to use that system ...

[@spiritusmalingus343]

5p's

[@errorusernotfound-iq5hh]

I dont know if its just me but i personally think that his second anchor also might be a bit on the small side, because when i compare it to the anchors we use for 5 meter long steel sailing boats it look about the same or maybe even smaller, and we manage to rip anchors out of the ground with wind.

[@aggonzalezdc]

@@errorusernotfound-iq5hh Youre not wrong. If they want to use a little anchor just to keep them selves more or less in the same place while doing some fishing, probably ok, but they still need to use a dinghy to take the anchor out and should have more chain (and actual anchor chain) so they can set the anchor correctly. So long as they would have enough time to react before the boat hits anything, if the anchor were to drag. Now, if they were going to sleep in a narrow bay where everyone else is dual anchored in order to allow everyone to stay in a narrow part of the cove where it is deep enough (for example), its a very different story. In that case they need an anchor not much different from their primary anchor, and about the same amount of chain (true anchor chain, not the small little chain he put on his anchor). because in a bad situation, if either one pulls out youre running aground or running right into another boat. And then I can only say I hope you bought good insurance...

You probably knew this stuff already, just want to make sure you don't have any problems. -Definitely watch a video on how to anchor a boat if you haven't done so already. They can be difficult to set and ti would be pretty hard to set two anchors pointing in different directions. -In anything other than calm water you should not use two anchors because you want the boat to be able to point itself in the direction that waves are coming from. If the boat is pointing the wrong direction waves can start to go over the back causing flooding. The boat will also noticeably rock more and be less comfortable if it is not pointed in the right direction. You probably don't need to worry about this if you are in a thinner river with low current. -Your awsome homemade anchor is going to rust no matter what. Make sure it is stored in a place where you are okay having rust stains. -The oil breather is probably there intentionally to oil the filter and help it catch more crud, much like a K&N filter. Keep an eye on it and make sure it doesn't get too dry! (you probably knew that). -Make sure your phone won't fall out or down if you hit a big wave.

Should consider using Collinite wax. Probably the longest-lasting budget wax I have used I use the "476" for my cars and it lasts through Chicago winters!. I also used the Yellow-Wax in the past as well, and although it does give an awesome result, it doesn't last, in my experience 2 weeks is what it takes for it. Collinite lasts long but doesn't make your paint look like it's dripping off the car. BUT! You can topcoat it, with a "non-cleaning" wax! I top it with Meguiars mirror glaze, as it has no cleaning agents, however, it goes away on the first rainfall, so probably not the best for a boat.

Oxi-did-dation....lol

[@vsho]

Looke awsome!!!! Portland is such a beautiful city too! Prayers to everyone caught in the fires.

[@NoCrow]

Dude you're adding an extra syllable. It's just oxidation. You keep saying oxi-ti-zation. Lol.

[@PreeyenMistry]

It's really bugging me 😂

[@Rocky19011]

I think he is saying "oxidisation", which is correct and has the same meaning as oxidation...

[@GoodkatNW]

@@Rocky19011 Oxidisation typically refers to the process, whereas oxidation refers to the result. They are technically interchangeable, but it's more common to use them in the aforementioned order.

[@NoCrow]

Huh. Well you learn something new everyday. I've never heard anyone say oxidisation before. Either way the way he was saying it made it seem unintentional.

[@agoogleuser7784]

Joel Dazey but he wasn’t referring to the process he was referring to the end product so they weren’t interchangeable.

Love the latest episode. Hope your folks are ok and their home survives the terrible fires. Dave UK

I'm still waiting for the apocalypse race car

[@plus790]

Great work. 3D printed housing turned out fantastic and those rehabbed light fixtures (while a little dated) did too.

[@JB-mk4ry]

Hopefully Oscar is on board to save Chris's ass when he's too drunk to pilot the boat.

[@CiteshGaming]

Love it! Not going to cut into the boat for speakers but the head unit

[@andrewfriesen7077]

You have to know that your anchor is going to rust quickly and so is the chain.

[@shipshrekt2156]

He painted it tho, should have used bed liner

[@BorisFett]

Excited for the episode. Here in Silverton things are ominous with the fires. I didn't evacuate. I hope your parents place survives.
