The engineering side to colin and the jack of all that is Jamie is what got me hooked on these guys in the first place. As time consuming and exhausting as it is, boat projects are really fun to watch! But the heart of this show is in the people, experiences and life long friends that you bring along with you, absolutely adore every one of you now and hope to one day ask permission to board myself.

[@ParlayRevival]

Thanks for that Philly! We hope to welcome you aboard one day.

[@brucerhodes8197]

I'm no engineer, but with over 20 yrs in manufacturing, I've found the best way to find the problem is just keep eliminating what's NOT the problem...you'll get there every time, eventually! Been dealing with an oil leak on my truck, eliminated several possibilities and narrowed it down to just 2, fortunately you have to remove one part to get to the other, so I won't be breaking any knuckles on nuts and bolts that don't need to be removed, I can go right to the root of the problem now. Gotta love those jobs where you need to do about 6 hours of labor to replace a $10-$15 gasket or some $2.00 O'rings...

[@lisacritter1]

Cheap easy low-tech way of isolating a noise: cut a section of garden hose. One end on suspect area of the engine the other end to your ear. Husband does this all the time on car engines.

[@billtisdale6122]

My dad would do the same thing with a sawed off broom stick handle. One end to his ear, and the other around the engine, touching different parts. He could find a bad rocker, lifter or valve issue very quickly.

[@dueyramone]

All the above are excellent improvised mechanics stethoscopes. Sometimes, they can even be better than an actual stethoscope, by eliminating some high pitched frequencies. Good deductive, minimally invasive, diagnostic procedure nonetheless!

I feel the same way Brit, & we are super grateful you are there documenting all the boat issues.

[@chrispy104k]

Man that sail drive system is a real pain. There is a lot to be said for the simplicity of a shaft drive. Great episode guys.

[@ParlayRevival]

Such a pain! Thanks for watching man

[@superwag634]

Shaft drive has a cone clutch in gearbox also 🤷‍♂️

[@markbailey6051]

I made a plywood box with gasket that fit around the drive leg and bolted to the hull so the sail drive could be removed in the water. It fit either hull.

[@jimtitt3571]

It works but it's much easier to ram a deflated inflatable under the hull and blow it up, I've changed a saildrive on a Lagoon when our crane was out of action.

[@plschwartzx]

All these recent problems. Parlay waited until you were near shore. She surely must love Colin. When she was near death he rescued her and tended to her needs. Then she got to see all the wonderful places Colin took her to. Few Lagoon 450's have had such adventures.

[@GloryDaze73]

Aka Jamie 465 😊

[@jonathanscott550]

Really nice video. It's unfortunate all these things are happening to Parlay now while you are circumnavigating the Country. However fortunate it didn't happen while in Polynesia or sailing to New Zealand from Polynesia. I am glad you returned the female crab back to the water so she can produce more off spring. Looking forward to hear about Jamie's race that he crewed and more on Parlayon next weeks video cheers

[@ParlayRevival]

Cheers Jonathan! Thanks for watching each week 👍🏼

[@nooneanybodyknows7912]

Tampons are great for plugging the drainhole on cooler compartments on ski boats. Turning a self draining cooler into a livewell when filled with water. 👍 Brit, you're doing superb job filming and editing. Learning by watching, listening, and doing. Thanks for sharing.

[@jamespollock994]

Bummer regarding the sail drive but she hit the nail on the head at the end there in that one of the many reasons the channel is great is watching Colin diagnose and carry out the repairs himself…

[@jimh8713]

Colin there is no better person to attempt a circumnavigation than you. Biggest thing is your ability to keep your cool under pressure. Your understanding of systems and how they are designed to interact is critical for troubleshooting, something that is not easy for everyone. Everyone on Parlay is so fortunate you’re at the helm.

[@mkllove]

Nothing stops you and your crew, it just means a small course adjustment in plans ! Good thing about drives like that, there will likely be lots of old spares available online or hopefully locally until you can arrange an upgrade/replacement to another model better suited. Maybe a better unit can be swapped with some help from manufacturer ? Maybe some manufacturer will be willing to make Parlay a test mule by sending 2 sets of different paired drives to use with their return planned so they can be disassembled by factory in exchange for a new or used set of 3 (1 spare ?) for permanent usage ? Think of all the owners of Lagoon models watching your boat as a leader in what they'll need in future... you're a pathfinder vehicle.

[@rayb3117]

The view from Parlay into Whangamumu was nothing short of incredible. Colin, New Zealand is one epic view to another. Cheers brother.

[@ailsleywillcox9350]

Oh my! What another inspiring episode. Colin and crew, thank you all for sharing your journey with us all. I was diagnosed with cancer at the beginning of the NZ lockdown and stumbled across your channel. I have looked forward to watching your adventures each week, and each and every one of you have inspired me to keep on keeping on.

What is was being able to join you all with your adventures, taking me along with you and being in a happy place to forget my worries for a wee time each week. Once again thank you for allowing us to join you weekly, May your adventures continue.

Mechanic tip When looking for a sound and easy way to find it is this. Put a 2 foot section of broom handle on the part you want to find the sound. Put the other end against your ear about 1 inch under your ear hole about your ear lobe. . Then just move the broom handle to different parts you will be surprised what you can hear inside different parts when even the engine is running. No need to jump into the water

[@hempandseaweed]

Definitely good to have an engineering background. That looks so complex to me.

[@ParlayRevival]

It comes in handy for sure 🙌🏼

[@judd_s5643]

You can’t learn this in school, his mechanical engineering degree forms the foundation but it takes an entirely different skill set to do what Colin does. I can safely say that if Colin had to pay for others to do what he does… this dream would not be happening. I sense the constant “big fixes “ are taking its toll. That fiberglass dusting he got heading to his family’s cabin was a killer. Doing that job in an absolute factory perfect environment would suck, doing it on the water…over the top SUCK yet he handled it. Colin’s leadership instills confidence in his crew and anyone that gets to sail on Parlay is fortunate.

[@hempandseaweed]

@@judd_s5643 well I for one am always impressed watching his skills and positive vibes.

[@to5msheppard]

I’m always amazed, but it’s always comforting to no Collins on board because he fixes anything and everything. You’re a godsend for a boat because most of us watch you and go we’re dead in the water and you were describing all these little things because people have to learn and I’ve been watching you for a couple years. I was confused. Love your channel.

Hey Capt Colin Here my take on finding problems with motor Either get a doctor heart beater contraption or Just a hose long enough to reach down around the engine and the other end straight in to your ears to pin point the problem Hope that's helpful cheers

[@GeoffInfield]

Chasing saildrive noise reminds me of putting a long thick screwdriver's handle to my ear back in the day and pressing the blade onto various bolts and housings, makes an incredible budget stethoscope - bugger all room in there to do that tho and you probably already thought of it anyway, just reminiscing really... good times with bad engines 😅

My SD50 drives rotted away last summer and I had to "force upgrade" to SD60 drives. My goodness they are insanely better. I can hear them shift all the way up on my flybridge. My SD50s had the same upgrade kit you installed, but still lots of problems. It wasn't cheap, at about $12.5k per drive installed. However, I also spent about $4k on lower shaft replacement parts for my SD50 2 years ago. The drives themselves cost about $7k with the SD50 conversion kit. However Yanmar wasn't willing to honor any warranties unless I had them pro installed. But with all your certifications, maybe they'd let you. If it's in your budget, I'd upgrade. Most of your problems will go away...

Love this episode- I mean Possible fire, Big lobsters, failed sea drive. About the "fire"/ Being a classic VW guy (you know - the ones that only catch on fire occasionally!!!) Well a guy has invented a passive fire extinguisher in the form of a pliable tube that quickly melts thru and sprays retardant before you even know there is a problem. Believe its called "Blazecut" Comes in different lengths. I'm 74 and been in the outboard/marina business as a mechanic all my life. worked on many Volvo stern drives . I believe you might have trapped some debris while motoring and bent one of your gears- ( just a total guess you understand) was unheard of in stern drives. But maybe pattern the gears and look for a tight spot if you can not actually see a damaged gear. The other thought is - you did not power the drive shaft in reverse to see if gear damage might be there rather than the clutch. Can't wait to hear what you found out. Cheers Bill.🤔
