SO I'm a Canuck listening to an Englishman and an Aussie talk their blue humour, and I understood every word and meaning, like, "...you know you want to." I also think you guys passed on your knowledge quite nicely. Thanks!

[@SVImpavidus]

You should hear us when we have had a few beers. Thanks for watching. Sail Safe mate. Ant, Cid & the pooch crew.

[@thomasczaplicki3159]

I have to change the cutlass bearing on my Benny 461 and your video was extremely helpful. Thanks for passing along your knowledge. A true engineer!

[@SVImpavidus]

Glad it helped. There are a lot of other videos in our maintenance playlist you may enjoy Sail Safe mate. Ant & Cid

[@thomasczaplicki3159]

@@SVImpavidus - it looked like this was installed with just a pressure fit, while I have seen other cutlass bearings installed with epoxy. How does this cutlass bearing stay in place?

[@SVImpavidus]

Usually its a press fit with grub screws in through the outer casing.

[@remzidalay7430]

Great advice "learn how things work". Thanks

[@SVImpavidus]

Glad it was helpful! Enjoy some of our other videos were we explain how things work and how to fix them yourself. Sail Safe mate. Ant, Cid & the pooch crew.

[@Cptnbond]

Definitely a hilarious how to - cannot be otherwise with such a crazy group of guys with a spanner. Cheers.

[@SVImpavidus]

We just had a laugh but got it done.

[@yaa63]

The beginning is hilarious with Ryan calling!!!! If there is something that I find amazing, is the knowledge to FIX just about ANYTHING!!!...specially such highly difficult things like engine or electricity...very impressive indeed...Ryan is right, be best friends with an engineer is the ideal 😁😁😁...Ryan though seems like a fast apprentice 😎...and it makes total cense "learn how it works". Thanks for the video!!

[@SVImpavidus]

Thanks for your kind words. It makes a difference when folks take the time to comment. It is appreciated. Ryan learns so quick! its great to be helping out. Sail Safe mate. Ant, Cid & the pooch crew.

[@SailingSunday]

Haha, I love it, “2 minutes, I’ll finish my coffee and be on my way”! Glad the weather was good for your 28hr passage to get here in 2 minutes!! 😂🤣

[@brianmcintyre6407]

I came over from Sailing Sunday's channel...your kindness and skills are awesome! Travels 200 miles round trip for 16 seconds of work! HAHA

[@SVImpavidus]

Hi Brian! Welcome aboard. We have this pay it forward philosophy. We try to help folk whenever we can, a lot of our videos are about teaching stuff to help folks out. Check out the video we did with Sunday called "Mission Impossible" back in licata. Ryan and Steve got so much out of just a helping hand with the water pump. Now they know how to do it and can pass the knowledge forward. Sail Safe mate. Ant, Cid & the pooch crew.

@@SVImpavidus That's how I live my life as well. It's a good feeling to close your eyes at night without a negative conscience.

[@russellpaci2562]

In the USA, if we have a bolt or nut giving us a hard time. We get out the BFBB. Also known as a Big F**king Breaker Bar. I have on that is 24 inches (609.6mm) long. I haven't found a nut or bolt that I couldn't get out. Good luck with your boat project.

[@SVImpavidus]

Thanks for watching!

[@thomasferguson6572]

Excellent video! I have to complete the same work at the end of this season and this has helped hugely.

[@SVImpavidus]

Glad it helped! Contact us if you need any help or advice. Sail Safe mate. Ant, Cid & the pooch crew.

[@spelunkerd]

That's a really good demo of how those things go together.

[@SVImpavidus]

Thanks Sail Safe mate. Ant & Cid

[@svhulda6157]

I fitted my Volvo 'non-drip' shaft seal in yr 2000. And the same seal is still there. The trick is high grade prop shaft, perfect allignement and never run dry.

[@SVImpavidus]

We fitted one on Phoebe C our Westerly Griffon many years ago it was an impressive bit of kit. Sail Safe mate. Ant & Cid

[@svhulda6157]

@@SVImpavidus What's even just as impressive is our cutless bearing fitted at the same time is still without any slack. Fixed 3 blade prop. that is turning when we are sailing. We are not liveaboards, but still. More than 20 years under water and spinning for thousands of hours.

[@Captain-Paul]

Great Teaching Video 👍

[@SVImpavidus]

We had great fun making this. Sail Safe mate. Ant, Cid & the pooch crew.

[@normanboyes4983]

A good how to by any definition - well done.👍 The dock propping was extremely sketchy though and I sincerely hope the oil drums had been filled with concrete - at least.😳

[@SVImpavidus]

Thanks Norman. Yes no cradles or stands on at the aft. TIT lol. Sail Safe mate. Ant, Cid & the pooch crew.

[@SailingSunday]

I woke up this morning and just re-watched it for a good laugh lol. And also, I need to adjust the engine mounts today and check the torque etc 😂

[@SVImpavidus]

Help is at hand LOL

[@Snookbite24]

Is that a ZF gearbox I see? I spent $1500 on parts and labor trying to rebuild my Hurth HBW-250 (ZF-25) only for it to be a failure and have to shell out another $3250 for a brand new ZF

[@SVImpavidus]

Ouch!!! ZF is usually pretty good if well maintained. Sail Safe mate. Ant & Cid

[@SailingSisu]

Ah man! Send our regards to Sailing Sunday! Torque amplifier! Put new one on and use the old as a spare ;-)

[@SVImpavidus]

Glad you liked it. There is room to put the old one on the same shaft behind it. Then if it fails you cut it off and slide the spare straight on. How about that for a top tip? Seeing Ryan later we will say hi. Sail Safe Guys, Ant, Cid & the pooch crew.

[@kevinbond3858]

Ant - what you doing Monday? I’ve the same job to do 😅

[@SVImpavidus]

Sory Kevin I have to was my hair. 😗

[@skulijakobsson5116]

Hilarious 😆 Enjoyment!

[@SVImpavidus]

So glad you liked it. Ryan has a wicked sense of humour and we had great fun making this video. Sail Safe mate. Ant, Cid & the pooch crew.

[@pierremitham2964]

Thats quite the unusual flange setup for a sailboat! Normally those tapered flange arrangements are seen on powerboats not sailboats!

[@SVImpavidus]

Most of the Beneteau shafts are key and taper its better than just key and shaft. Sail Safe mate. Ant, Cid & the pooch crew.
