MY SPEED YACHT VS. THE BALTIC SEA! | VLOG 78

[@JamesYoung61]

All new boats and fast yachts in particular have teething issues once the owner starts putting them to use, those are the most radical propellers I have seen not attached to a turbine boat you need some spares, even though that is a manufacturer error when you are stuck somewhere getting another one might not be so easy. You should have warm jackets, sleeping bags, bottled water, tea, coffee, powered milk and snacks on board, you have seen how a short journey can turn into a very long one if you where planning a fast trip and everything doesn't go to plan.

[@rbslammed6163]

How are the props a manufacturer error? Also, what do you think happens when/if the steering wheel falls over board, gets damaged or fries itself? Lastly what do you think of the nice steel Speer pointed at the passengers chest/fact (aka the totally unprotected steering Column)

[@JamesYoung61]

@@rbslammed6163 It is very unusual for a propeller to loose a blade like that unless they have hit rocks and then there is generally damage on the other blades, my guess would be either a fault in the original casting or it some sort of harmonics thing, those propellers are under phenomenal stress at high speed. Your second point, you are right I think that very un-seamanship like to be able to put the central control of the yacht at such risk, I am sure that there is some manual override / back-up. Accident waiting to happen. Point 3, well spotted I hadn't noticed that, inexcusable, a potentially fatal accident waiting to happen, especially in a boat that goes that fast. it should have a cover.

It’s unfortunately quite common to break propeller blades on extreme offshore racing boats! These propellers are 10k though…

[@Performancetimely513]

You should definitely have a secondary set of props on board especially if you plan on doing long distances like this because its not uncommon for these cleavers to break, especially in rough water if you dont throttle it when the boat leaves the water the re-entry is what causes the prop to break.

[@kurtliedl9]

any prototype testing will have its issues, they're smart guys. lesson learned and overkill back in action!

[@Performancetimely513]

@@kurtliedl9 oh for sure, im just saying its always nice to have a back up set on board, theyre gonna need bigger props if they plan on using the 1550 mode anyway.

[@rbslammed6163]

Along with a second steering wheel, and a cover for the steering shaft.

[@Maaniic]

Isn't this why usually offshore racing boats have the co-pilot control the throttle to mitigate the problem. Think I have seen a clip with some furious throttle management every time that boat left the water. perhaps Jon could commission someone to build a system that does this automatically if even possible.

Since your on the ocean maybe keep one on board and you’ll never need it 😆 You did super well changing it in the water, faster than most people on a trailer :)

[@Saksiniekka]

A new high performance racing cleaver propeller like that will easily set you back atleast 10 000 dollars LOL. What an expensive lunch trip. Love it.

[@Jakrabat94]

I'm not saying you're wrong/lying, but I doubt it... 🤔 I wouldn't be surprised if it was like a couple of thousand (dollars) or even upwards of four thousand, but ten thousand... really, you have a reliable source of that? 🙃

[@thelionking3321]

Insurance covers that, ain’t it?! That too its a new boat so probably he must be having insurance…i guess a win here than losing 10000$!

[@Saksiniekka]

@@Jakrabat94 Yea I know, it's unbelievably expensive. Those are large 6-blade cleaver racing propellers, and I assume they are top of the line because neither Jon nor Bernico would settle for less than that. You have to keep in mind that the boat is equipped with basically the most powerful marine racing engines on the market i.e. Mercury Racing's most powerful engines (up to 1550 hp each if using racing fuel) so they really require the highest quality propellers for those kinds of speeds and the incredible torque they produce. I know a lot of guys use a brand called "Hering Propellers" for their high-end powerboats so you should check it out and look at the eye-watering cost.

[@nancyneyedly4587]

You are putting the boat through the ultimate real life stress test. There hasn't been a boat like this, so this is all part of it's evolution.

[@eelisphoto]

You need backups on everything. Including the steering wheel. Prepare for the worst, the sea is not a place to take unnecessary risks.

It's not super unusual for a racing cleaver propeller's blade to break, it happens sometimes. These propellers are pushed to the absolute limit. If you want to go +100 knots on water you have to sacrifice a lot of reliability (and a lot of money too LOL)

I'm m thinking you should throw a Sharrow Marine on there and end all the cavitation and harmonic issues that are breaking blades like that. Besides the boat will perform better go faster probably and use less fuel to do it. It will also be glued to the water. They are a bit more expensive but you can get an them insured.

Correct way to tie up boats is to crossover your morning ropes this minimises boat movement in the pen or on jetty. Great seeing the team achieve the crossing. FYI - I think you have LOST the 2nd nut off the other propeller

[@Two-StrokeLife]

Just my theory but If you look at the video the Left Hand prop appears to be running clockwise and the Right Hand prop is running anticlockwise. Generally for rotating parts Right handed thread is used on clockwise rotation and Left handed thread is used for counterclockwise rotation to prevent loosening. In this case I think they are using Right Handed threads for both but are using a double nut (jam nut) to prevent loosening on the anticlockwise prop. Using LH threading for anticlockwise parts is common on things like bicycle pedals and bottom brackets where the LH pedal and BB shell are Left Handed thread so no jam nut is needed and the RH pedal and BB are Right Handed thread. Back in the day many cars had lug nuts with Left Hand thread on the LH side of the car and standard Right Hand threaded lug nuts on the right side of the car...Learned this the hard way by breaking 10 studs on a old Mazda pickup I owned.
