New Boat? - S6:E41

[@alexgezon1908]

Bobby, friends and I just bought a 52' CMY. Appreciate all the content my man! You're my kind of people! - Alex & crew in MI

[@Niagra2011]

Bobby, use to apply decals for a living. Take a sewing needle and put a tiny pinhole in every bubble and take your smoothing tool and push wrinkles towards the hole. Problem solved. HINT: Use a very fine sewing needle! You will never notice the defects after that! Nice Dinghy Captain!

[@timdunne4363]

On the clothes washer, switch the water line so cold source goes to hot input. Cold water only is better than hot water only.

[@scottgoode9874]

That’s not fair!!! Leaving us on a cliffhanger like that with your new paddle board!!! With an engine!! Beautiful dinghy. Safe travels with it.

[@mrright1068]

The worst cliffhanger ever bobby! We want to see that dingy fly.

[@ronaldthibodauxjr]

"The Darkside" is a much more fitting name. I love it. BTW, I've owned an appliance repair company for 25 years. I would be happy to offer any advice I can. The screws that mount the water valve are accessible from the rear of the washer. You can then push the tub to the side and pull the valve out the front. It has four wires going to it. One for hot, one for cold and a double neutral feed. And last you will need pliers for the clamp on the hose going to the fill port on the tub. The washer looks like it is 15-20 years old. If the factory valve is no longer available, there are universal valves you can use. Good luck!!! Please reply if you have any questions.

[@arottie4097]

Good info! Just send the bill to his website!? Ha!

Sidney seems like a real fun person, always a happy to be around. Besides that, she's pleasant on the eyes.....nice👌 girl. Keep her....!!

[@lewisnowell6430]

Well said I like her a lot too!!

[@deankoch7305]

If you can reach the hoses and put the cold side on the hot side and you will have cold wash through the hot side.

[@stevenjohns7017]

So glad you are finally getting the fuel tanks sorted on one of the boats you have owned. Nice episode thanks for sharing.

[@rhett7716]

never too late !! 😏

[@kennethpaladino4948]

Hey Bobby! Always use a lubricant when applying decals! Don’t worry about it! Poke it in the middle of the bubble with a needle & squeegee all the air to the hole! Will b fine! 👌

Saw you today passing crown bay St.Thomas headed East on this windy day. We just left St. John and I saw the boat and told my wife that I watch you on KZbin but didn’t recognize the new name. Just watching the updated video in St Thomas airport soo you got a new name 👍🏼👍🏼

[@nickdamato6900]

Dark Side is a great name, but I'll miss the old one. My wife of 50 years' name was Christina Marie. Ready for the first dingy voyage... then TBC. Love it!

[@drx1xym154]

to be fair - it is really really bright, on The Dark Side. Yes, the cliff hanger ... I wonder how it will work with the boat crane. That is one 'uge, big, tiny (ironic?) dinghy!

[@ralphvandereb66]

really i think its a terrible name :)

[@Mark-sp6vq]

All coming together Bobby, great work! Have to laugh with Sydney, chick was born with the happiness gene.! (specifically DNA 5-HTT).

[@medicmcauley6729]

swap the wires from the hot and cold solenoid and it will work on cold water only, call that good

[@mikemarkel9203]

If switching the wires does not work, try switching the solenoid itself, as it may be a mechanical issue and not an electronic issue. Great tip though. I didn't even think of switching the solenoid until I saw your comment.

[@allynonderdonk7577]

@@mikemarkel9203 Why go through all that just unscrew the hot and put it where the cold goes in and put the cold water on the hot. No modifications needed.

[@RiverWoods111]

@@allynonderdonk7577 Yeah, cause the reason he wasn't fixing it was because it was too hard to reach. It sounds like he is just going to replace the whole washer dryer unit as it is really old. For the time being hot water will wash the clothes just fine too!

[@brucerhodes8197]

Couldn't you switch the hot and cold water hoses as well... whichever is easier to get at...?

[@rhett7716]

check the inlet mesh screen isnt blocked first !!

[@jimpinkowski3394]

Bobby, you can totally save the bubbly lettering by carefully piercing each bubble with a sharp needle and working the trapped air toward the hole with a squeegee or roller. The bubbly surface will laydown totally flat and the hole will be imperceptible! Really works! No mater how much soapy water you use, you will always get at least a bubble or two, especially if the decal is large.

[@tmmtqoe]

Can't believe you filmed this episode with that boat so absolutely filthy.

[@scottjp8]

Bobby! Every skipper knows It’s bad luck to rename a boat!

[@ctrlzyx2]

The tub and pump unit on the washer part of that stack combo slides out of the lower case like it's on rails. I have this unit in a rental, and the design is unchanged for over 20 years. It is pretty clever. You can get to everything without pulling the whole stack out. I had mine apart to replace the spin basket clutch last year. Pretty sure I saw it on KZbin somewhere. Not familiar with the fill solenoids, but bet there are direct plug-in replacements pretty cheap if you are willing to wait.

[@mdwightj]

You can pierce the air bubbles with a needle and work the air out. I always use Windex to install the decals.

[@mikemoxley9477]

What a great video, smooth work on ALL of those projects! Love the HIGHFIELD

[@craiggoodwin9704]

A couple more of Sidney's marguerites and your signage will look perfect. I use to keep a bottle of scotch under the car seat and somehow it got empty too! Thanks for sharing.

[@yvelf]

Sydneys energy level is always on high! Amazing vid as always! Happy travels!

[@DIYVideoEquipment]

Hey guys - you may have found out by now, but vinyl shrinks. If you just leave it alone the vinyl over a few weeks will flatten out. You just have to be patient with it. I owned a global vintage race car graphics company for about 17 years. It happened all the time. Cheers!

[@seansiegers4994]

For the washer, just select warm/warm for wash and rinse, but pipe the cold water supply line to the hot inlet side. If there is no heat booster internal to the washer, you'll get cold wash and rinse.

[@SuperTubbyTube]

Bobby, swap the HOT and COLD lines on the back. Then you can leave it on the HOT setting, but it will spray COLD.

[@bandaid1957]

exactly what i logged on to say.

[@randaltucker2981]

Congrats on the new dinghy! It was tense watching you pile all of your gear on the paddle boards; wondering if it all would get soaked. This will make going to dinner much more enjoyable. You know better on the decals; I would bet the new one is already on the way. Beginning to tolerate the stinkpot, miss the sailing though. Cheers Bobby. Have watched from the very start.

[@johnswofford908]

Watching the dingy part of this video reminded me of a question a liability attorney ask me in a deposition. “Was the SAFETY device in use at the time of the accident”. Great vid!!!

[@limburgercheese1234]

silly idea... Did it years ago, when I was young and broke. Reverse the Hot and Cold water lines going to Washer. Set on Hot and cold water enters. If you want to be really fancy, you can get a hose attachment that mixes hot and cold before the washer inlet.

[@panchitox8875]

Hey Bobby, I'm no expert on vinyl lettering or washing machine repairs, BUT I offer a couple of suggestions: 1 - for the side with the excess of "bubbles", try pricking the bubble ever so slightly with a straight pin or the point of a razor knife, then collapse the bubble. It might save you from feeling the need to replace all those letters.......AND 2 - if the hot water solenoid is working, consider swapping the input hoses so that the cold water feeds through the hot solenoid, since it's probably rare that you "need" to wash in hot/warm water...........BUT that would mean the machine has to have a "hot water rinse" option, which might not be the case. ANYWAYS, just a couple "workaround" ideas to consider!

[@dancanny4878]

Hey Bobby, try using a pin/needle to remove the bubbles on the boat's new name. Make a pin hole on the side of the bubbles and use the spatula to squeeze the air out! Works like a bomb. :)

[@SammyTheDitchDoctor]

Suggestion: we run downstream water filters (look like oil filters) on the output side of all our raw water pumps. So if garbage get sucked in or a impeller comes apart the filter will trap the pieces. We change the filter when we do our impeller service. $100 for housing and first filter, $20 for new water filter. Cheap insurance to avoid things like the piece you lost or smaller pieces clogging the cores on your heat exchanger.

[@wetcoastnoel]

Bobby, take off the cold water line and attach it to where the hot goes in , wash only on Hot and you will be actually washing with cold. just tricking the machine. I have both hot and cold water inputs fed with cold water at my hair salon because the staff loves to wash towels in hot only lol

[@EAnterow]

Looks nice.! Will be fantastic when the mast is mounted!!

[@bodriver9719]

Windex works well for applying the stickers too. Looks good!!

[@raosbon]

If you'd prefer to wash everything in cold water, you could always switch the supply lines so the cold water supply is attached to the hot water intake. At least you won't shrink everything.

[@Sheedeval21]

Just for future reference , you can polish the gel coat with a polisher and some compound, to get rid of the fading in the area around the old name

[@goofsaddggkle7351]

That lettering looks amazing!

[@robkirkland7982]

Congrats on the new Highfield!

[@ElleDelSol]

Switch your hot and cold water hoses in the back of the washer. The 'cold' water on your boat in the caribbean is going to be fairly warm, so it would be better to have only cold water vs. only hot water.

[@natew8882]

Just switch the hot and cold fill hoses at the back of the washer on the water fill valve and then the hot will be cold. When you have the hoses off take a look at the 2 metal screens in the inlets and see if they are blocked by debris. If you don't ever use hot water then you don't need to replace the valve until you decide that you do need hot water. If you really want to get tricky you could put a y with 2 ball valves on the water inlet hoses and hook them both up to the hot solenoid on the water fill valve. Turn the hot off for cold only and vice versa.

[@petermacklin7870]

Swap the water supply line on the washer from hot to cold.... Cap the hot water and wash & rinse in cold. Then you can use it until you can make the solenoid repair.

[@ryanlawrence8479]

Love the vids man, pro tip if need be use a pin to pop the bubbles on the new boat stickers, usually helps get any persistent ones. Cheers keep up the great content.

So bummed! We were in St Thomas for the whole week, and of course St John on an ipanema. I looked around for you but never saw you. Megan's Bay was cool, Maho, lime out, and have you been up to "the mill" yet? Crazy taxi ride up the hill, but very cool bar. And with all due respect, that was NOT a margarita. You could call it something like a "GrapefRumarita" © MC2021 😆 Maybe we'll connect one day? happy sailing!⛵🥂🤙

[@gerhardkutt1748]

Should have a mattress pump handy. And a 12V inverter !! Makes a huge difference.

[@vxnova1]

Switch the pipes around hot with cold, select hot water wash and rinse but you will be using cold water

[@guy7gsa]

The DIY repairs are the best part to watch for me. 😉

[@kaosinc]

*Edit:* Sorry I forgot "KISS" Keep It Simple Stupid...first off check the Cold inlet hose is letting water through the hose and also check that the solenoid filter(where the hose goes) is not blocked. The filter can be removed with needle nosed pliers usually! Electrician here: Easy temporary quick fix for the washing machine, when it stops on the rinse cycle, just fill the basket up with buckets of water until the pressure switch activates( you might have to also close the lid a few times due to the lid switch). The problem is most likely the solenoid coil itself so just swap the 2 solenoid coils around and run it on a Cold wash only. Sometimes you can swap the coil itself but sometimes you can't depending on the manufacturer so you just swap both the electrical connections and the hot/cold hoses around. Note: I saw you with the panel open so I'm sure that you are competent to a certain extent. I'm in Australia with different laws to you and I would have kept my mouth shut but you Americans seemed to be able to do anything and everything just about! Just pull the power cord and double check that you did! Stay alive and stay safe Bobby!

Swap your hot and cold lines on the machine, keep the wash on hot/hot but it will actually only be cold water. It’ll work, your clothes will last longer, and you won’t need to replace the machine for a while longer.

[@steini6771]

You may mix me a drink anytime. Love your channel Mr. Doodles -

[@WhenthePipersPlay]

Tap the solenoid a few times with a screwdriver handle, then manually run some wires to it. Keep the hot wire on, repeatedly touch the ground wire to the solenoid until you hear it start clicking. A lot of times this will free up a stuck solenoid. Not a permanent fix, but should buy you some time.
