Installing 2 must-haves for a Cruising Sail Boat- Sailing Yabá 242

[@SailingYaba]

Thank you all so much for your thoughtful and encouraging words regarding the boiler situation in yesterday's episode! We really appreciate all the suggestions and feedback you’ve shared, and we’re taking them to heart as we continue to make improvements aboard Yabá. Your support means the world to us, and it’s so great to have such an engaged and caring community. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue this adventure together! Much love, Ben & MP

[@manolisgledsodakis873]

You did a nice bit of fault-finding, Maria. 🙂

[@Racerman27410]

I knew that your wiring was flawless.... if you ever open up one of those circuit breakers you would see it's amazing how they actually work and why they can fail. They also get tired over time so having a few backups on board is a great idea! As usual it's always a joy to see you figure things out. I am super proud of you MP!!! Happy Wednesday friends!!!

[@geoffpalmer6424]

One tip Ben, walk against the opposing traffice, not on the side with your back to vehicles.

[@Birkguitars]

One small qualification. Be aware of visibility around bends. I live in Cumbria in the UK and we have lots of local roads without separation of vehicles and pedestrians and I take the view that I walk on the side of the road where I can be seen. So we drive on the left hence I generally walk on the right except when approaching a bend which goes to my right. That will hide me from oncoming traffic so I switch to the left. Staying on the right increases the risk that I might be mid bend when a car approaches forcing it either to brake very hard (and perhaps too late) or veering suddenly in to the middle of the road and potentially head on to traffic coming the other way. So the principle of facing the traffic is right but with a few exceptions.

[@amc7988]

Completamente de acuerdo. Iba a escribir lo mismo.

[@davidcole217]

“What does everyone else have that Yaba doesn’t have?” A LADDER !😁 You two need to remember you’re already living your dream, but dreams don’t always work on a schedule. Don’t ever feel like you’re somehow letting us down either. Every Sunday morning I get up make some breakfasts and sit down to visit with my friends Ben and MP, and until Christmas I get to visit everyday. How could I be disappointed? Be happy, and if it takes an extra day so be it. Thanks for taking us along on your journey. Dave

[@clivewilliams3661]

I do think you are putting overdue pressure on yourselves. Ben's injury has changed the game and your goals ought to be reassessed in the light of it. Getting your list done for Christmas was a target and not a critical operation, so step back calm down and do what you can but most of all enjoy it. Once that happens you will be surprised at the progress. The very best of luck to all of you and a very Merry Christmas!

[@mojo1327]

Hi, your shower doesn't have a pump, it just puts out the water that the pressure puts in, so both heads should only use the same amount of water - don't be afraid to use the big showerhead if it feels better. If you want to check, run the small showerhead into a bucket for 30 seconds, mark the level, empty and do the same with the big head. The levels should be the same if not slightly less water with the big head because the water pressure lowers as you gain height.

[@Jasontodd74]

MP don't get upset like that again when something doesn't go 100% right. Ben even jumped on trying to cheer you up immediately because he loves you so much and honestly your smile is truly something special!!! You remind me of my daughter in law and she is super special to me too!!! You guys are winning and learning, it's really rewarding to see y'all go after your dreams and to reach them!!! It's SO AWESOME!!!!

[@DonFarmer-hq5sw]

We never underestimate MP and her ability to make the right connections ❤🎉

[@amc7988]

Felicitaciones por la caldera! Un pequeño consejo de viejo marinero. Ibas en el bote auxiliar con el motor fueborda y los 2 perritos a bordo. No tenías puesto el cable que se llama hombre al agua que se conecta a la muñeca. El mar estaba en calma, pero es un elemento en movimiento, te puedes caer, resbalar y al agua! Qué pasara’? El motor no se detiene, seguirá funcionando hasta que se acabe la gasolina varias millas adelante. Perderán el bote? Es probable. El tema es que los perritos iban abordo. Saltaran del bote? Quizás si o quizás no. Es una inconsciencia de vuestra parte. Se que tu experiencia en un barco es poca. Escuchar a quienes conocen!

[@gordonbrydson4733]

Good to see you smiling again MP. I know you could do it AND YOU ALSO GAINED SOME MORE EXPERIENCE.More valuable than money.

[@markhollingsworth4728]

You two are bringing all the small but absolutely essential items online for live aboard comfort. MP is such a bubbly & effervescent gal and is becoming an accomplished marine electrician. You both have been through a steep learning curve from beginning to this point and are impressive with your sponge / soak up the knowledge mentality. Well done!

[@SailingYaba]

Thanks so much, we are enjoying the learning curve! 😁

[@ogarvin7064]

Watching your dogs running happily over the rocks on the forest trail, I realized that they have a more interesting and fun life than I do!

I knew you all would eventually figure it out. sometimes that is how the ball bounces in life. but you got it. congrats.

[@jaeorumn4242]

"I thought you were going to cry" 🤣 MP didn't miss a beat executing that joke! Another great episode, thank you!

[@SailingYaba]

😂

[@bdlii]

If I was MP I’d wake up Christmas morning and take a nice hot shower! If all you got done leading up to Christmas was installing the 2 showers that would be a huge accomplishment. You’re getting so much more done but that will be in the top 3 for sure.

[@GodRock369]

Well done, another day another fix it.

[@kennethd.cooper5252]

MP,Ben, keep this in mind, my family owned diesel trucks and my Dad was a really good common sense mechanic , driver and designer of big rig trailers, he designed an independent suspension for trailers That would allow bigger pay loads, cause you could drop the trailers down as there were no axles. Anyway he always told my brother and I, when there was any kind of problem You Always start at the simplest things that could go wrong. That's why yesterday I suggested you check the breakers. Glad you got it figured out. Tell Ben to make a sinkaflex finger nail and get back to work. 😂. Be safe stay healthy enjoy your afternoon

[@johnduer7428]

Happy shower days ahead. ❤❤❤

Thanks for being here!

[@johnmaliskey7951]

You have now seen Mr. Murphy in action..... "If anything can fail.. It will at the worst moment" ............ You need to start your SPARES list. Put the same type of items in the same area. Nuts, bolts, screws, washers in one spot. Breakers , terminals, wire, connectors in another......... Put the spare breakers in and use the one that you know works in a zip-lock bag and the spare in the breaker box. Starting in the engine room you have plenty of wall space to put cabinets and organize the replacement parts. Thinking about what you need and where to put it starts now. It is a slowly evolving process. Even ODD, Delos and Parlay have been caught short at times and look how long they have been at it. ......................... enjoy

[@OmniaNihil]

I know they can be very expensive and hard to source but Japanese or German electronic components are the absolute best and most reliable. Make sure you get the marine-grade components which are waterproof.

[@blachigreen5437]

[@claudiobercht105]

MP&Ben! Acompanho vcs desde o dia1...( Guarujá/ODD)...e mais toda a saga da restauração do Yabá, e continuarei a prestigiá-los sempre! Mas ...está dando nos nervos as desatenções de ambos em relação a quesitos de segurança!... MP - um seguidor com toda a razão chamou sua atenção com relação ao dispositivo "homem ao mar" , para conectar o pulso ao manete do motor de popa...tão simples! Foi preciso alguem alertá-los de que seria bom rebocar o dingy com uma 2a corda de segurança...tão óbvio! De que mundo veio o Ben que não sabe que sempre se caminha numa via onde trafegam automotores, encarando de frente o fluxo! Igualmente...será preciso que alguem chame a atenção que não é responsavel andar nestas trilhas de mata atlântica com chinelos,(Havaianas)? Assim também com as seguidas desatenções com a segurança durante os trabalhos no barco! (Óculos, luvas, uso de serras sem apoio...etc,etc)! Enfim...o projeto de vcs é realmente magnífico, mas não ponham tudo em risco por conta de comportamentos imprudentes e levianos! Por favor!!!

You guys really need a DC Amp Clamp meter. ( That way you can measure the amp draw of the device and know if it is the breaker or the device. 🙂

[@bobcollard11]

MP, you are a very good electrician. You have no reason to feel bad about a mechanical failure.

[@frankd2301]

With a boiler that small, I doubt position is important

[@richhartman931]

"Couplers" are available to mechanically connect two single-pole breakers together so that if one trips, they both trip.

[@inmyopinion6836]

It sounds like you're drawing too many amps for your service. You should try a couple of solar water panels. I worked for Solaron out of Oklahoma City in the 80s, we installed several of these systems. Verry efficient. You just need a large well insulated storage tank. You will never run out of hot water, and it won't tax your batteries!

Soooo many islands how bout walking a detector around ;)

[@kseyffert]

Two singles are not the same as a double. The double disconnects all wires on overload. Two singles will only disconnect one wire, possibly leaving the whole circuit live. If one trips, do not touch anything on thst circuit until you have opened the second switch as well.

[@jfv65]

Heaters always draw a LOT of amperes. Maybe that automatic circuit breaker is just too SMALL for that amperage?

[@hardhead5700]

Hopefully you found a way to tie the two switches you manipulate off and on together in case one side trips and the other side stays hot for safety reasons. I've seen this done numerous times but the two switches are mechanically tied together with a dedicated device connected to them both so both are off or on.

Too much voltage. Diesel boiler?

[@lastfirst9791]

What's toucan??

[@palco22]

I'm still not convinced about the boiler installation. If I have the right boiler "Sigmar Water Heater UX Compact Inox" then In the installation section it does mention " The water heater can be mounted horizontally to a deckhead (ceiling) as long as the entry and exit water connection are inverted. Then it warns that this type of installation (IS NOT ADVISABLE) because the thermal advantage of the tank's disaxial position is lost and (COULD PROVOKE PROBLEMS) during installation and subsequent maintenance of water heater because entry and exit water connections have to be inverted. Just saying. Be sure and not sorry. Take care

[@Lumberjack-mo]

Shame on you, Ben. What do you want to do on the high seas? Call hers family? Big respect for the help from the family!
