New Location New Challenges on my Boat Restoration Project

[@alexander20991]

You , my Friend , are amazing . You are adapting modern technology with an old school boat . What a great concept . I have a 40 year old fiberglass Cape Island fishing boat I use for taking my Grand Kids fishing and exploring . You have given me many ideas to modernize my old plumbing and electrical systems . You videos are well recorded and edited and your audio is excellent . Thank you for taking the time to show us all of your work . Very Impressive . Best of luck from Nova Scotia .

In the new sink drain through-hull, it would be a very good idea to add a corrosion-resistant check valve. You've drilled the through-hull in the bow, where it is susceptible to any water crashing against it - leading potentially to water ingress via the sink. It's unlikely that it would ever be a real issue, but I would do so for peace of mind.

[@gillesgomez3091]

Smart advice!

[@maximilianobesso7732]

Good call! Doing a loop on the hose will solve that problem, I will also stop wind, bugs etc…

[@ussweeneyd]

I would strongly suggest you install a “P” trap on the sink outlet to prevent any insects or smells entering the drain pipe and into the sink grate.

[@stevenreissr1938]

also , accidentally dropping small items in sink (diamond ring ?) would catch in the 'p trap , instead of 'gone forever .. eh

[@lukej557]

I was thinking a valve for when waves hit

[@MB_Kathrina]

The same is the solution on my boat also! I use an 80 Liters fresh water tank of stainless steel only for drinking water (Coffee, Tea, and so on). For my shower and washing dishes I get water from outside my boat. The difference to your installation is, that the used water in my system does not run outside directly but into a grey water tank 1st, from which it can be either sucked out or alternatively it passes outside the boat through a separate water filter. So the used water that leaves my boat will be coal filterered and cleaned by this way. That's my part making not too much mess into the environment with used water. My toilet is a DIY compostal toilet which does not need any tank but the waste can be disposed into normal household waste container. Only the urin runs into the grey water tank. But anyway, your installation is very intriguing!

[@СергейДеркач-у7ю]

Awesome quality of shooting!!! Tarantino smoking aside. Excellent!!! Best regards from Russia!

[@roberthoy9922]

So here I am. I have just binge watched your whole series I think. I am an Ironworker by trade. My wife and I have been thinking purchasing a leisure craft such as your self. I’ve been looking at fiberglass a long time. started out with wood, and said “Oh no”. Because I am an Ironworker, I don’t know why I never looked at steel. Thank you. Steel is so much easier. You gut, repair and then build. I will now be looking for a steel superstructure craft, and go from there. I have been on many retro fits/ seismic upgrades. I got this. Watching you and how you have progressed in this particular craft is inspiring. I wish that some of the apprentices that I work with are as eager as yourself to learn. P.S. I sure am glad your welding skills are improving. Holy smokes!!! I gotta say, I would’ve fired some guys. Lol. No disrespect intended. Like I said, not in so many words, but you have most definitely stepped up your skill set. Wish me luck. Also. Best of luck to you.

[@Fr99763]

Your video’s are a work of art!

[@nena4215]

I really want to tell you that I’ve been a subscriber since you made your first KZbin video. I have quite a bit of steel on my boat so I am drawn to channels with boat work, for learning, ideas and just feeling for you, I know what it’s like. I want to say to you that you’ve done wonderful work, your boat is NOT the one you started with, you saved your boat and gave her a new life! I love your channel and look forward to your vlogs, they are always good, thank you!

[@graemelliott3942]

You may consider installing a UV bacteria killing filter in line at the end of the fresh water filters

[@supershane1960]

Hang in there mate. Looking forward to the next one 👍🏻🙏🏼😎

[@lancedaniels]

Thanks for posting and sharing. Interesting to see how you sorted the filtration system out.

[@randyclyde4939]

Good looking installation! More and more I like the quick-disconnect tubing. Thanks for bringing us with you on another adventure!

[@serhiyranush4420]

In the long run replacing water filters may turn out to be more expensive than filling the water tank.

[@isickofit]

I have a similar system on my narrowboat. I fill my tank with filtered water which runs through a powerful UV sterilisation unit. This water is fed through an RO system for drinking and used direct for washing machine/cooking/coffee etc. Filter change every year. Works perfectly and no more water runs!

[@olivier2553]

He may need to change his filter more often: the PE filter is already very brown... Not on a boat usage, but for home usage, my system recommends a 3-4 months for PE and 4-6 months for GAC filter (granulated activated carbon) (and 1-2 years for the RO reverse osmosis membrane).

[@isickofit]

I don't live aboard, so less usage.

[@FubarKen]

Crappy spot for your water filter 🤣👍

[@__Dude_]

Are you sure about the water inlet close to the toilet outlet? It maybe ok whilst cruising, but when you are moored to your platform, the river water might not move fast enough.

[@TR4zest]

Toilet water (black water) cannot be dischaged until 3 miles out to sea. For inland or coastal boating, he will have a holding tank which will periodically need to be pumped out.

[@martinhoflich6150]

very nice locations and a good job anyway .

[@rohanderstevens4759]

Blessing 🙏 keep up the good job 👏

[@johnschmuck5589]

I think this was a great improvement! Very impressive

[@joejuska5390]

Nice but you will still have pathogens and VOCs coming in to the galley sink. Maybe Look into a UV sterilization circuit. Plus buy a lot of disposable filters, you will be busy changing these filters. Maybe your patrons will fund an “RO water maker”. This is the proper way to have useable fresh water aboard.

[@isickofit]

Silverline is a company I use. They provide a complete system, inc UV for off grid houses that fits neatly into boats.

[@Abzard]

Hoffe sehe dich aufn lehnitzsee, hab dich gestern beim vorbei fahren gesehen;-)

[@99corncob]

Those filters are great, but they don't remove chemical contamination from the river water. Perhaps the rivers in Germany are clean enough that you don't have to worry about this, but I would not be willing to drink river water anywhere in the US.

[@stevensnow4112]

Didn't he say this is NOT drinking water? Water only for shower, dishes, etc.

[@homeFall1]

@@stevensnow4112 I would still have a hard time washing dishes I was going to put my food on with US River water. At least from most rivers here... I would defiantly keep the ability to onboard stored water if the need arose even if installing this kind of setup

[@neillambton4065]

Might i recommend you fit a stopcock valve to the skin fitting in the bow from your sink?. If you are in choppy waters, the bow may dip into waves, and you may end up with the wave water being forced up the open tube and filling the sink, or even getting in to the cabin?. I`ve seen a similar thing on my small yacht, so had to fit a plug into the sink outlet.

[@dcallan812]

Some UV light would help the water purity if you use the water for washing you're hands etc.But a nice neat instal. 2x 👍

[@nena4215]

If I remember correctly, doesn’t your waste go directly into the river? For this reason I would definitely put a UV light inline as the last thing before your kitchen sink.

[@dcallan812]

@@nena4215 Yes that what I thought too.I would not want to wash my hands with the "treated" river water without something like UV Or boil it all first.

[@salamander5703]

Might be worth checking those fittings (2:32). The threads on the filter look like parallel threads which use an O ring to seal on a taper above the top thread and under the flange of the hexagon on the fitting. The fitting screwed down onto the hex which suggests it also has parallel threads. PTFE is only for taper threads into taper threaded holes. You need O rings to make a proper seal if the threads are parallel, or a Dowty sealing washer to seal on the surface of the filter.

[@mrfarmer532]

Wonderful ! Thank you

[@Falney]

You can use a reverse osmosis filter (A little pricey but not too bad) to make the water fully drinkable. they they go through a similar filter system before pushing the water through a membrane that removes 99.9% of dissolved chemicals in the water.

[@MrM-or6uh]

Genial. :) Happy boating!

[@TR4zest]

At one point it seemed you were buying boats every couple of weeks. I recall the orange rocket among them. Did you sell those boats and your amazing platform boat? I will be interested to learn what new challenge you have set yourself.

[@euddronniecangussu7509]

Esse barco esta ficando muito top

[@robb5834]

Been with u from start project loved all stages very well done and proper

[@hfoor11]

Since you installed the sink outlet into the bow of the boat what is going to happen in rough water when the waves keep washing over the outlet? Shouldn't you install a one-way valve to prevent water backwash?

[@w4vy]

You gave the secret away. Next video boat is out of the water for rust removal and a new paint job 👍 ✌️

[@damianfz]

Hi! Greetings from Argentina!!

[@davidjma7226]

[@stevethompson6867]

Your water system is exactly what I want to do. Can you please post links to the filter system and pump/accumulator that you bought?

[@Babar13-2]

i was hoping you would to go into the sea and document your trip to different location like croatia, maldives and so on in the future... :(

[@416Expedition]

Great job👍. If I might add, I'm thinking that you might want to add a check valve for your sink as if you get into any rough water (waves) the water pressure might force its way through the sea cock and up through your sink.

[@raytalbot5890]

What happened to the pontoon? & The small red boat? 🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍

[@dawidgold5329]

Ich sehe gerne deine Abenteuer, aber ich mag es nicht, Abwasser in (Fluss-)Wasser zu gießen. Insgesamt ist es großartig und ich freue mich wirklich auf jede neue Folge.

I'd add a UV light to that...system and make it potable

[@d.j.robinson9424]

Wunderbar 💛👍👍☉

[@andreas_____]

Yes but what if you want to use soap in the sink??????????

[@realfrantheman]

Biodegradable soap shouldn't be a problem

[@Toffie10]

So, if I understand you correct. You're going to drain your sink water, with all the oily stuff and dishwashing liquid directly into the river? So much for conservation, hey.

[@johnfleury5430]

I would had a UV light to the system then you'll have perfect water drinkable if you wanted to

[@kasperholmj]

Nice idea with the filters! I've been thinking of a similar solution. Do you have a link to where you got yours?

[@5thGenNativeTexan]

I don't think I would have eliminated the water storage tank. Just because you are sourcing water from the river doesn't mean you might not need to have stored water onboard for some reason.

[@gillesgomez3091]

I was thinking exactly the same as you. I would keep the water tank and fill it with drinkable water. It is still possible to add another tap to fill in a bottle.

[@seawench555]

Absolutely you should always have a fresh water tank on board, you can never underestimate how important water storage is 🇦🇺😁

[@isickofit]

I pump straight into tank filtered, sterilised water, then RO the drinking water. Works excellently.

[@mysticwolf2842]

Just out of curiosity when do you plan on painting the boat and what color are you thinking about painting it. There are several types that would work well on the boat, the one that several builders use is called ALEXSEAL it is a three part paint system which should work out very well with your boat.

[@jeanhawken4482]

Do the filters clear out toxic waste?

[@lougubrious9624]

There HAVE to be laws against sending kitchen waste into a public waterway.

[@TR4zest]

No, there doesn't. If using a bio dish soap, a small amount of food waste from washing dishes won't harm anything. Have you seen the kilos of groundbait anglers use? Literally buckets of the stuff.

[@lougubrious9624]

@@TR4zest I'm not saying that it's actually harmful in any way. But I know that in some, maybe all EU countries there are laws about food waste going into residential water systems (I used to sell dishwashers and Americans hated brauns for this very reason}.

There are. In the netherlands this would be illegal. Since this is a dutch build boat it has a Grey water tank.

[@TheJamesthe13]

Why didn’t you just buy a water maker? That way you have the added feature of being able to use salt water, with the challenge of custom fitting the system to an older vessel. Also, you would cut down on the number of consumables. Just my two cents.

[@lukej557]

is the water coming in safe to drink after it goes threw those filters?

Is UV light effective against all microorganisms? Yes. UV light is normally effective against all viruses, bacteria and protozoa. However, some microorganisms such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia have protective or thick cell walls that some low power UV light systems are not able to penetrate. (It is important to make sure the UV light disinfection systems are specifically designed to kill these microorganisms if necessary.)

Hmmm, also ich bin mir ziemlich sicher, dass man "Spülwasser" in deutschen Gewässern nicht einfach verklappen darf. Diese müssen aufgefangen und ordnungsgemäß einer Kläranlage zugeführt werden. Ergo find ich die Lsg mit der direkten Abfuhr nach draußen eher suboptimal. Grundsätich mir egal, da die Gewässer rund um Berlin weit weg sind, aber, stell Dir vor ein jeder macht das mit seinem Schwarzwasser. Und allmorgentlich, wenn ein jeder so "seine Sache" erledigt und die rauspumpt und Du aber im Sommer gern mal eben über Bord springen möchtest...... Wäre ich Dein Bootsnachbar, ich würde Dir einen erzählen.

[@stevenkirby7478]

As environmentally conscious as Europe seems to portray themselves, I am surprised that they allow grey water discharges directly into water sources. This practice has been outlawed here in the states for years.

[@TR4zest]

Not so. For recreational boaters, just a handful of lakes in the US require holding tanks for grey water because they are not navigable from the sea. ALL navigable inland waterways and coastal waters permit the discharge of grey water. There are more stringent regs for COMMERCIAL vessels longer than 79 feet.
