Lewmar Anchor Windlass Repair on my Crooked PilotHouse boat

[@arielgarcia1662]

I am a seasoned boater and fisherman. I like watching this guys videos because he has literally rigged his 21 foot boat to the max and used every inch of it. This guy knows how to enjoy his boat. Its nice to see the passion he has for it. Even though Parker built his boat with a crooked pilot house he has made the most of it and kept a positive can do attitude. Plus he really does know alot about the electronics, plumbing and mechanical components of his vessel. He also runs his boat well and takes all the necessary safety precautions. That is the mark of a good captain.

[@OutOnTheReef]

You are awesome Ariel loved your comment and I really appreciate your support and for being a great viewer of my channel. I'll call this comment the best comment to start a new year 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍⚓⚓🤗

[@CW-qt1qv]

I agree!

[@OutOnTheReef]

@@CW-qt1qv thank you Clarence really appreciate a captain👍👍⚓⚓😉

[@fatandyboy6856]

I wholeheartedly agree. I love this channel. The tips and on-the-spot ingenuity is really inspiring. And I feel this man has been MORE THAN fair on his assessment on the Crooked Pilothouse (even with documented flaws). Another great job Cap!

[@OutOnTheReef]

@@fatandyboy6856 thanks cap. You all are very appreciated and it motivates me on getting creative 👍👍👍⚓😉

[@nationbmx]

Thanks cap! Putting this one on my pre-season checklist!

[@OutOnTheReef]

Yes it is a good way to avoid breakdown at sea 😉👍👍⚓

[@katerynachristian8844]

Thanks for the advice on freezing fish!!!

[@OutOnTheReef]

You bet! cap. you will see the difference , no frost bite 👍👍⚓

[@keithgreene4352]

Cap, when I saw the first image of the door lock, I was wondering what you ever did about the crappy lock. Glad you addressed it! And as always, love your tutorials!

[@OutOnTheReef]

Thank you Keith and yes I'm trying to solve this locking mechanism problem hopefully this new unit will help, thanks for watching and I'll keep you guys updated captain.👍⚓

[@hectorallanrivera9334]

You know your stuff when it comes to these electrical things Capt.! Nicely done! Might need you to come to West Palm to help a brotha’ out on his boat’s electrical system! 😊👍🏼

[@OutOnTheReef]

West palm, you live very closely to the water cap.👍👍⚓ You can do it cap. 😉

[@hectorallanrivera9334]

Great video as usual. It's all about the wiring.

[@OutOnTheReef]

Thank you Captain and yes you're right is all about the wiring

[@chrisbsworld6634]

Great Video Cap... Maybe make a video on some preventive maintenance on somethings on the boat that you might not think about... Keep up the great work!

[@OutOnTheReef]

Great idea Chris I will keep you guys updated with new videos as I come up with it, and thank you for watching captain

[@derick441]

Im digging that old fieldpiece meter. Best meter ive ever owned next to the fluke.

[@OutOnTheReef]

yes i agree i used mine in the Refrigeration field and love it, great product👍👌

[@adAlqubaisi]

Hi captain it happens all time especially if you mount anything on the transom due to vibration. Recommendation is to replace the nuts with lock nut which has rubber at the end. And I noticed that you are tightening a live wires you can see that your battery switch is set on #2 better to disconnect it before working on it. And also for safety try to have the fuel line and hand primer always from and electrical connections. Can you imagine if you had fuel leak and electric lose connection what could happen. I wish you all the best stay and navigate safe

[@OutOnTheReef]

Very great and vice-captain and yes I forgot to switch the battery switch off that was a big mistake thanks for the heads up and the priming fuel line was install in the manufacture like that and I found it very weird that they will have it very close to the battery it does look dangerous if there's a spill I don't know how that boat made it through the safety inspection but they all are built like that

[@andrewfyakim525]

Hi Capt... I'm late with my response; I've been gone in the boat!... This is a great video on how to 'trouble-shoot' boat problems... The 'catch phrase' from one of the contributors to a boating blog is, "Everything on Your Boat Is Broken, You Just Don't Know It Yet"!.... Very funny, but also true...

[@OutOnTheReef]

Lol agree cap. And im glad you are enjoying your boat, there is some cold weather coming soon but i know you have a heater and we have pilothouse boats and now boaters will know in the winter how convenient they are 👍👍👍 Have a awesome weekend cap.⚓

[@nerdworkbench3292]

Keep the good work cap, thanks for inspiring me

anytime buddy😉👍👍⚓

[@doradomarineservices4855]

Good job captain what i do with that nuts i put locktite on them and on really hard one to get to i drill a tiny hole and put a cutter pin brass on

[@OutOnTheReef]

that a great idea cap, thanks for sharing👍

[@mooseontheloose8956]

Good idea on the rope for cover. Mine makes a swimming pool in front of boat. Thanks cap

[@OutOnTheReef]

Anytime cap i find it as a easy solution 👍👍⚓

[@Guywithoutahobby]

Oh I like the humidifier too but I don’t keep the boat at home so I use those damp rid bags, one of them lasted almost a month before filling up, so before I wrapped the boat I put in 3 of them, I’ll go periodically and check or replace them.

[@OutOnTheReef]

you are doing great cap as long as we try to keep the cabin dry , but you probably spending more on the rid bags , because you dont have power, have you consider a solar panel for a small inverter to run a small 17 watt dehumidifier

[@Guywithoutahobby]

@@OutOnTheReef I am now lol!

[@OutOnTheReef]

@@Guywithoutahobby what i recommend is a medium solar panel and small battery like this amzn.to/3aW9XLc or bigger and a small inverter like $50 and use mi dehumidifier like mine and under a $100 you get that problem solved cap

[@Guywithoutahobby]

@@OutOnTheReef thanks!

[@agaramelan7319]

im facing same capt near the Krakatao Volcano when i had one..Hppy new year capt..new year new Blue Balaclava..better you stamp it out of The Reef and sell it .so fans can feel same..color also may vary with camo...Happy New year once again ...Greeting from Indonesia

Muchas gracias capitan y por ser parte de mi cannal y buenas noches 👍👍⚓⚓

[@brianblizzard7591]

The dehumidifier is key. It will make a huge difference. I have had mine for about 3 years now and it greatly reduced the moisture issue in my cabin. Boat looks great captain.

[@OutOnTheReef]

Thank you cap. And yes dehumidifier works great to keep Moisture out and the one I have is only 17 watts of power no compressor👍👍⚓

[@ddeaae]

Thanks for all of the information and guidance in 2020. Looking forward to some great info in 2021. Take care Captain & stay safe. Happy New Year to you & yours from our Boat to yours.🥂🛥🎆🎉

my first boat(Scout) had batteries back there it was always something wrong with it.Always now have batteries in the center console ,much better. Saludos

Yes cap in the center console is dry space and you are balancing the boat better👍👍saludos cap👋

[@pstone7657]

On those battery terminal connections I can’t tell from the vid, but I use SS lock washers with all connections.

That is a great option cap. That way they don't slip, very smart👍👍⚓

@@OutOnTheReef capitan los botes siempre tienen algo algo similar me paso a mi cuando compre el mio ,,,, yo les estoy adicionando al mio unos automatic charging relay y tenia todos los cables sin apretar en los conectores se me iba la corriente donde quiera

[@DeepBlueChannelCom]

el que le hiso la electricidad al bote dejo todo flojo y la primera regla de la electricidad es que no puede haber nada flojo porque aumenta el amperaje se cae el voltaje y se empiesa a calentar el cable

[@DeepBlueChannelCom]

parece que el bote este mio lo vandalisaron y le arrancaron los swichea y los cables y despues lo hicieron denuebo pero el que lo armo lo dejo todo flojo👈👈👈👈

[@DeepBlueChannelCom]

yo vi el bote mio cuando lo fuy a comprar sin motores sin asientos sin batterias sin cables en la prte de los swiches sin timon no gps no timon no mangueras estaba pelao ajjajajajajajaja. pero no lo compre lo compro otra persona y lo mando a armar😁😁😁😁😁😀😀😀😀😀

I Love "Easy Fixes" ! And if you keep having fishing trips like the last one ...... Your going to need a BIGGER Freezer! LOL! 🤣😎👍⚓

Lol yes i think you are right love having lots of fish in my freezer especially different variety of fish so I can eat different fish anytime I want👍👍⚓😉

[@UrbanFisherman]

Nice captain 👍🏾

[@OutOnTheReef]

Thanks cap. ⚓

[@Cammo-vp1gl]

HNY Capt. Instead of using snap seal bags invest in a cryo-vac machine, otherwise known as vacuum seal. You can make the bags as long as you want and they keep your fish, or game, really well in the freezer. Seeya next year 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

awesome idea i seen those, thanks cap,⚓👍

yea according to the waves charts looks like no fishing this weekend nor next either. Even with my sea keeper in the boat I still rather stay ashore then get my butt kicked by nature, the fish ain't going anywhere nor my boat.

I agree Captain the weather is so rough for this time of the year is better to wait a little bit until comes out a little bit and you have a seakeeper imagine me I don't have a seat keeper😬👍👍⚓
