Restoring A Boat is Tedious Work, Lots of It - Week 32 - Part II - Vintage Yacht Restoration Vlog

[@brianoutdoorlife7788]

Hello buddy, another great video. Thank`s for inviting us. Coming along nicely, hat off to you. Well done, stay safe.

[@Iam-mad]

Bin total begeistert von Deinem Projekt! Ich verfolge es von Woche 1 und hab besonders die Schweißarbeiten gerne beobachtet. Jetzt kommen langsam Sachen, wo Du Rat von jemanden brauchst, der sich auskennt. (Bin auch kein Profi, aber ich kann Dir ein paar Ratschläge geben) Erstens, besorg Dir eine Bilgenpumpe. Sobald hier ein Wassereintritt passiert (und der ist immer unerwartet) und Du hast keine Pumpe, dann ist das schöne Projekt am Seegrund. Bedecke unbedingt die Batteriebank, ein Metallteil/Stahlkabel kann auf die Bank fallen, und es fliegen die Funken. Isoliere die Bodenbretter von unten, wenn es kalt wird, hast Du in jedem warmen Raum Kondensat an den Aussenwänden, auch unten im Maschinenraum. Eigentlich ist Schaum die beste Methode, weil er alle Lücken schließt, das bekommt man mit Isoliermatten nie perfekt hin, und die Matten können auch wieder abgehen, wenn der Kleber alt wird. Die Plastikteile über der Maschine (Kabelschacht, Kabelbinder, geklebte Halterungen) werden bei Stauhitze weich und fallen herunter, ein Kabelbrand im Maschinenraum ist schnell und heftig. Ich denke Du wirst den Generator im Maschinenraum thermisch beobachten müssen, normalerweise sind marine Generatoren gekapselt und wassergekühlt (wie der Hauptmotor). Zum Anschrauben der Bodenbretter kannst Du auf den Stahlrahmen Muttern anschweissen, in die Du dann die Schrauben hineindrehst. Zum Abdichten von Gewinden verwendet man Hanf mit einer Paste. Immer lieber mehr Hanf nehmen, als zu wenig.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fn7Yk4qbZrFlbck LG Jürgen

There is one thing you should think of buying. A taping set. You could tap several holes (f.e. those under the generator board), to make it easier screwing and unscrewing. 4-5mm bars are thick enough for a few cuts, and they will easily hold a quite heavy load. And you can still add nuts to those screws making it perfectly safe even without a chemical locker.

[@allan8004]

As already said, epoxy the holes, isolate the screws, + use some anti seize on the screws, your doing great, you have the right attitude, it will be something you can truly be proud of, All the best, Al

[@reinouddelporte911]

I really like your approach on the cable management. It's the first time I see someone use these cable channels on a boat. They will do a great job to keep things tidy and safe. Also adding or removing cables in the future will be very easy. Most boats I've seen on KZbin have wires running everywhere. Having a tidy and well organized engine room to me is very important, for safety and easy of maintenance. I'm pretty confident you'll nail this part :-)

[@peterhendry2154]

Might be a good idea to put drain holes in those covers in the bilge but.

[@TheHsan22]

Maybe a Germanic thing, there is a very high attention to detail in most things done in this series. Even joining the two sections of cable tray, I think most would have left separate.

[@reinouddelporte911]

@@TheHsan22 the level of detail is not that high to European standards, but it's pretty good for a German amateur (no offense). Generally speaking in Europe there is a higher level of detail for jobs like wiring then in North America. Several countries in Europe have strict rules when it comes to electricity. The UK is known for their "procedures" in general. Germany is known for their high standards (Deutsche Gründlichkeit). I work for a big Swedish transport constructor and we have high standards to. All of these high standards trickle down to the DIY level, which is good. When I look at some North American wiring in general, I see stuff you wouldn't got away with in Europe 40 years ago.

[@Stoney3K]

@@reinouddelporte911 I'd dare to say that the rat's nest that was in the engine bay when the boat was purchased would never have passed inspection anyway.

Those cable ducts might go brittle and break from the heat in the engine room though

[@yonatanbenavraham6598]

As a long time boat builder I would suggest you use spray foam insulation between the hull and the finished boards you are putting in. Spray foam will protect the outside cold or heat from getting in or engine noise from getting out. It dampens vibrations and makes cruising down the rivers and oceans much quieter for you and your guests. You are doing a great job already, thank you for the time and energy in making the videos. I love watching people fall in love with boating and living on the water.

[@PDZ1122]

Wouldn't that create a nightmare if you ever have to weld on the hull in the future? That stuff gives off seriously nasty fumes when it burns.

[@michaelhovey8007]

For hard to reach bolts, have you considered cutting threads into the steel brackets. A little locktite on the bolt and it should hold without a nut. Using a manual hand threader is pretty easy. Just a smaller hole to drill. Worth a try considering how often you are working alone.

[@tonycamplin8607]

You can get drills and taps in one. Much easier and quicker.

[@michaelhovey8007]

Week 32 omg where has the time gone. You have made the Covid-19 more bare able. I’m still working all through lockdown and you have made me relax totally watching your videos. The resin totally finished the edges looked so better it was a good effect also. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@HITLER-PRO-MAX]

Bravo i see all your videos in one night .. continu ✌️🇩🇿

[@fonhollohan2908]

should've put some epoxy in those screw holes before mounting it in. For the generator platform you built. Looking good though young man your doing a great job.

[@realfrantheman]

Also he could probably weld a nut underneath the steel frame so that he won't need help from someone else

[@ronburns6865]

I would recommend purchasing a tap set for the common screws, that way you only need to apply locktite onto the screw and mount directly into the steel.

[@tonycamplin8607]

@@ronburns6865 Was going to say the same. You can get drill bits and taps in one so that you don't have to buy a set of taps.

[@fredflintstone8048]

@@ronburns6865 Provided the steel is thick enough to get a good bite.. Most of the time it's not thick enough to get good torque on bolts, screws. 1/8" steel will strip out if you try to tighten the bolts, and over time the few threads tend to get sloppy and finally strip if it doesn't happen on the first tightening. Rivnuts cost a little bit, but they're a good solid fast solution.

[@almath9987]

fred flintstone agree you are ment to have the thickness of the bolt / setscrew as a minimum. If you want to be precise then the material of the thread hole and bolt come in to play. If you tap a M10 in to 6mm thick angle iron to secure down wood boards OK, but if you were securing a generator or a cleat then no, you would need 12mm thick material to tap for M10

[@jjryansea]

I enjoy your narration almost as much as the work. Thank you for the entertainment and education.

[@Pushyhog]

the cable's routing channels is greatest idea. Super clean engine bay. Maybe a blast into the future will end up with e-motor instead of diesel engine.

[@jona3117]

Watching from Tokyo, Japan. Enjoying seeing your boat take shape. Thanks!

[@gt1man931]

I have watched every video since finding the channel a couple days ago. The video production is pretty good. The boat has come a long way and I am not a boat guy, but the value has to have really went up.

[@GHuber-xh5vv]

Great work. Inside is going to look better and better. But outside a lot of of work still has to be done.

[@Eduard-bj6ni]

Ich gratuliere zu dieser wirklich hervorragenden Arbeit. Gratuliere und wünsche viel Glück mit dem Boot. 👍👍👍

[@tonyhill5418]

It's nice seeing someone take the time to run wiring and piping the proper way, I see so many people with a rats nest of wires running all over the boat.

[@alan6832]

It looked quite a bit shorter to me to run the cables under the engine than up to the ceiling and over it. I bet it also would have been shorter to go in front of the engine or over the transmission.

[@sonnybrooks264]

Good idea on those cable ties that you can open it up for future use👍

To isolate the boards under the generator you need rubber washers under the nuts as well, otherwise there is a mechanical link from the board via the bolt to the frame.

[@antonioaugustovaladares4356]

Good job !

[@722garage9]

Great work. Making progress. Sometimes the smallest jobs are the most satisfying!

[@michelfortier9563]

I'm petty impressed with your multitude of different skills. You're taking your time and doing it right. When finished, this boat will be an extension of yourself. BTW - I was in Berlin two years ago and was impressed with the people I met. Berlin is such a beautiful city with a large swath of young people. You're also developing a sense of humor as you're moving forward!

[@jondavidmcnabb]

You are making excellent progress and the boat is really starting to take shape! When you get to building the aft deck cover, consider using large solar panels as the roofing. Dangar Marine did it in one of his video and it turned out great.

[@michaeldecker2725]

I would suggest captive rivet nuts attached to the frame so you don’t need to hold the traditional ones. Also you may wish to biscuit joint the 2 halves of the boards to maintain a smooth flat surface.

[@timheilman2089]

Automotive J nuts are quick and simple.

[@bartjohnson8139]

The boat is looking good! I’ll just suggest that when dealing with anything that on a boat, over build. If it looks good enough, think of how it can be built stronger and more secure. Boats flex, and vibrate. Overbuild now, to avoid a failure in the future. Keep up the good work!

[@michelrood2966]

Okay professor ...

[@billymiller1319]

You forgot to seal the screw holes before you bolted them down. Very nice job. Regards Billy from S A.

[@next0845]

Nice to see the cables will be run neat and tidy! Just a query, when you attached the angle brackets to the cable trunking, it may be better to have the bolt head inside the trunking so it’s smooth and won’t chaff the cables. I think your nut and bolt shank are poking into the cable area. With the vibrations of the engine running they may rub through the cables over time. Excellent job, good to see it moving under its own power 😎

hi! im really enjoying your videos! keep it up! grusse aus BW!

[@handymancon]

This project is really coming along. Keep up the good work!

[@ckm-mkc]

On the cable runs, put the dome head on the inside. Having the screw threads and a nut on the inside means that at some point, a wire will rub through and short to the hull. The dome head is a lot smoother, but if you want to be extra careful, put a piece of tape over the screw head as well.

[@LasseMagnussen]

I would've flipped the screws for the electrical conduits around. As to have the sharpest edges on the outside, to keep chafing on the electrical wires to a minimum.

[@theorganguy]

and I would have flipped some of the conduits around... easier to load them from the side, then from underneath

You might need to run your steering cables through a piece of pvc piping so it won’t damage the wood you just installed. 👍

[@davidcunningham6856]

Hi. nice video, congratulations. I like suggest you to fix the wood flor, the platform, by a screw but in holes tapped. In case you have to remove one part in the middle don't need to remove all. same situation in all the parts in the sky, you drill, tap by drilling machine and it's done. Sorry for my Inglish not well I am Italian.. regards.

You are doing a really good job restoring the boat period when it comes time you should wrap it with a really wild pattern

[@michelrood2966]

No he def. Should not

[@josm100]

Shelf for the generator looks good. But shouldn't you add resin to the bolt holes to prevent water intrusion there too?

[@billiondollardan]

Yeah pretty sure you're right. What would you do if you didn't want to go back and do that though? Maybe some butyl?

[@jackieharvey2694]

The main issue is to keep the inside of the boat dry.

[@michaeldecker2725]

On the bottom of the boards maybe some sound insulation to absorb engine/generator noise?

[@Conan-ny1um]

I would have recommended insulation on the hull before you placed the wood.

Wood dust doesn't pollute water 😆 but kudos for the effort.

[@tonycamplin8607]

Its not wood dust, he's cutting ply and that's bonded with toxic resins and glues.

[@Mpourazos]

hello i am really troubled about the steel cables (for the steering i suppose ) near the batteries so maybe a cover for the batteries is a must !!!

[@oualie705]

I am worried about the same thing. How about using 3or 4 inch PVC pipe to make a shroud for the cables? They can move inside the pipe without touching.

[@Mpourazos]

@@oualie705 yes i thought of that but i don't know how much slack there is on these cables or if they have anything on them that will make them bind in a tube or if the cables will finally ''eat'' the pvc or metal pipe that is why a said a cover the way it is right now is a fire risk !
