NEW ENGINES ⚠️ Step 4: THEY'RE FINALLY IN! Yanmar for the win! (Ep 283)

[@SailingZatara]

Thanks for watching today! I know it might've seemed like I went all out on Surfshark in this episode, but honestly, I try to spice up our sponsored stuff so you don't reach for the skip button out of sheer boredom. Instead of dragging you through a full one minute spiel, I prefer breaking it into bite-sized pieces to keep things easy to watch. My apologies if it felt a bit too much today.

Is Finn going to Tonga? Or going out on his VW van adventure? Hope he goes to Tonga because that IS a trip of a life time with your siblings that later in life not going might cause regret. Thanks for the update vid. See you next week. 🌊🐬🌊

[@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123]

@@Whatareyoudoingwithyourlifethey said, Jake and Kate are going to Tonga mid may and Finn leaves (in his van) in June. There was never a plan for Finn to go to Tonga.

[@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123]

No worries Renee, I usually forward through adds but somehow you have a way of making them ok, if not enjoyable to watch ! You truly have a talent !!! Those motor installations were quite impressive, those guys had it together!!! One question, did you take the boat for a test run before sealing up the holes ? Blessings

[@Brian30233]

It's not just Surfshark. It's the relentless shilling of all kinds of products - Ullman Sails, multihullsnets, PYI, BRNKL, Vetus, Highfield, Mercury, SIMRAD, etc. The episode felt like one giant advertisement with a brief engine install thrown in the middle.

[@hxhdfjifzirstc894]

@@Brian30233 Huh? I guess this family is just supposed to foot the bill for your entertainment entirely out of their own pockets? I can't imagine the cost of one new engine, let alone two... Some people seem to have an unusual amount of entitlement, when it comes to free entertainment.

[@dianahampton8768]

I’m a 62-year-old female in California that is just fascinated watching other people sail and maintaining their boats. Thank you so much for taking me along on your adventures. Love your family values and how much I learned about what it takes to make a boat tick.

[@l.ls.8890]

One of the great things about Jack is how he seems dedicated to help his dad and learn how to do all these mechanical and electrical connections. He will definitely have to draw on this experience one day and it will help his become a great captain in work experience and not just name only. Happy Journey Jack.

[@jbparrothead8532]

Ignore those posters who say, “I already saw that on Finn’s channel” or “I already saw that on Jack’s channel,” etc. What makes it even MORE INTERESTING is seeing the same topic covered by different members on Zatara and seeing the same scenarios through other eyes/different perspectives. Keep up the great and interesting work. I look forward to all your posts, as well as those from Finn, Jack, Luke, Glory, etc. Thank you for sharing your journey with the rest of us who can only dream about doing what you do, due to health issues, lack of finances, etc.

[@scottgoode9874]

I remember you getting your old dinghy. Keith was so excited about that 1. Brilliant.

[@jamielancaster01]

‘Just Catamaran’ is the only shop we trust to work on our cat! Kent is the greatest!

[@duanehole3390]

I was wondering what the captain used to do before he set sail on zatara. Being from Texas I assumed oil patch of some kind. He mentioned oilfield I episode and confirmed my suspicion. Myself was on rigs for 23yrs and seeing how mechanically inclined he was I knew it was oilfield experience. Although I could not sail a boat and maintain it like this captain! Well done brother

[@lowellmccormick6991]

As a draftsman, I draw complex machinery assemblies with drive motors, right angle gearboxes, limit switches, pillow block bearings etc., that all tie together to make bridges go up and down or swing side to side. Before I start each job, I get what's called a cut sheet for each component. That gives me all the relevant dimensions I need to draw the various steel base assemblies at the correct heights and locations for each component accurately so that all the shafts and associated hardware line up properly. The cut sheet for that engine would have provided the dimensions before the engines were ever on site. That could have saved you some time and maybe a bit of frustration by knowing what had to be done beforehand. You could request the cut sheet(s) for that model engine and keep it on file just in case you need the info in the future.

[@KeithStrang]

With that said, Yanmar does provide easily downloadable CAD models from their website. I'm sure it's just one of those things.... do the planning up front and get it right, or just get after it and find out by doing. There is virtue in both but as I get older, the pre-planning seems to be winning for me more.

[@kurtwacker4622]

Always nice to see clean engine bays

[@hxhdfjifzirstc894]

It was probably annoying to wait so long for the engines to be installed, but its better to be done right than half-ass and a sloppy mess everywhere.

[@chrisdunn3235]

Great episode! Congrats on finally getting the new engines in and mounted properly. The new Highfield Dingy is pretty awesome! Looking forward to next week's video!! Hope you all have a great week!

[@ekrz17]

Please get Kenzie to teach Jack the importance of sunscreen 😭 He said in a video he doesn't believe in it and that's really concerning and dangerous regarding his health and him spreading that message to his audience. Glad you mentioned it today

[@Stacey505]

I always put sunscreen on my kid's and when my son was 16 yrs old he still got 1st stage melanoma, all sunscreen does is keep from getting natural vitamin D.

Jack my sister died at 47 from a Melanoma I miss her greatly so dose her son at the time he was 22 years old now he’s married with 2 kids and they haven’t got a grandma you put on Zink on your lips nose and ears and wear a hat 👒 and don’t be a clown

[@billyb.9878]

You let the old guy know I've owned boats for 30 + years. And if ever the situation arise. I would buy a boat from him in a heartbeat. He's really a good mechanic, electrical, it doesn't matter. He stays up on maintenance etc. Excellent keeper of the ride. Good for all who spend time on the zatara. 🙃

[@hxhdfjifzirstc894]

He sure is old, though.

[@MaryEllen_of_OBX]

I forgot to tell you last episode, thank you for announcing the date out loud and writing the pop up explanations with white backgrounds! Big help for even young ones like me who have low vision.

[@WinningWithWarchild]

I love this family. Started watching them during Covid and then lost touch for a bit but now I'm back. I hope they get their boat/home fully upgraded how they want it and that it all works to their satisfaction. It's also really neat to watch their kids get older and start doing things on their own but still remain connected to the core family. What a great adventure and way to live life!!

[@WinningWithWarchild]

Side Note: I started using SurfShark a few years ago and got my whole family (even my elderly mother) on it. I can truly attest to what a great VPN it is - and that's without any sponsorship, etc. When my membership expires, I'll use the Zatara code for sure ;)

[@denisecole6128]

I wish more boats had lights underwater around their boats like yours. It makes the boat so beautiful. You’ve done so many upgrades and fixes to make everything run smoothly.

[@valerieb.4912]

Renee, you have got to be one of the most kind, considerate, and thoughtful person, who is really looking good since you lost weight. Happy Sailing ⛵

[@susannahmoore6550]

I watch Zatara every week. So fun to follow your adventures. While I love my life (I’m a teacher), it’s nice to live a more adventurous life through you all! Chicago PD is a great series!

Does your new highfield have a fishfinder?

Please let us know you survived Behrl in Granada. I was totally blown away when I saw the hurricane was heading towards your Anchorage. I have lifted you up in prayer that God would protect you.

Hope you have better luck with the pyi seals, we went from traditional packing to pyi. Had some catastrophic failures, tried a tides that did well but burned up when it clogged from some eel grass. Now its traditional with teflon packing and a greese line. Its almost dripless and its 14k hrs old.

[@Sky1]

Just curious do both engines spin the props the same direction or does one go clockwise while the other goes counter clockwise?

[@jjl499]

Hard day at work today up at 4 45 min ride into Boston to work construction for 10 hrs heavy equipment excavators doing sewer and gas work.nothing ever is measured correctly from engineers it’s always a wait for parts. I totally understand. Best part of today was coming home and seeing a video from you guys which put a smile on my face! Fully invested in the journeys ahead. Stay safe

[@seanstout7904]

Your editing is at a whole new level, and to put out different content every Thursday and atomic time no matter your time zone, you guys are an inspiration, truly showing what it's like to having the finances flow from your passions ❤

[@ryanwalker6060]

Loved the episode Renee! Not sure why some people are so put off by the surfshark ad. I thought it was a great idea to split it up into smaller segments, really made the video flow smoother!👍🏼

[@SailingZatara]

Thank you!!🙏🏼

[@oooo8493]

The affection your son shows for his girlfriend is completely natural, a result of the love and guidance you've given him. Relationships like this are a normal part of growing up, and it’s clear you've raised him with strong values like respect and empathy. While some may have opinions, what's important is that he's expressing love in a healthy and genuine way. You’ve done an amazing job as parents, and his ability to care for others reflects the positive foundation you’ve provided.

[@lorigonzales2392]

❤I wait all week for THURSDAY MORNINGS just so I can watch the new episode Miss Renee I wish they were longer but until then I watch them OVER AND OVER AND OVER😂 thanks for mentioning Glory she looks so lost and sad I know she wants to be with you guys its in her face her videos she fell deeply in love with your family sometimes people find those other people that are more then friends they are actually very loved family members and they just want to do nothing but be with the people they love. Me and my Gunner whom is my dog cant wait till next Thursday he loves the show he cant sleep deeply unless he is listening to you and the kids..With love your friends David Lori and Gunner ❤

You have made me so motivated to chase my dreams and live the life that makes me happy. Just know that you are having a postive impact on so many people's lives and many of us subscribers don't listen to the "Haters" because we all feel the Love that you share!

Hi, The engines that were fitted in the end seem to be different engines that were initially fitted, the fist new engines had a red yampa logo the last engines did not have the red logo. Philip.

[@sedatedape315]

Removing engines and installation, even the same one, is a real PITA! So nice that you have true professionals doing the work for you guys. Mistakes happen. But having a work crew and a company that knows their stuff is reassuring! So many planes because people LOVE it here in Florida!!! ☀️🏖️🌴🍹 When the "kids" are all gone it will he so quiet. Maybe too quiet. I happen to know a few young folks that might be available to help out with such a large boat as Zatara..? Have you heard of this guy named Luke? And a young lady called Glory? Just saying.... 😉

[@AustynKennedy33]

glad to see you guys go with a Merc on the new dingy. I've only ever ran them as they are bullet proof. Only time i ever had an issue is when i got bad gas which caused detonation and the head to crack. i was 2 months out of warranty but our guy at Merc only made us pay parts they covered all the labor cost. Ive had a 90, 115 and a 60hp big foot. Hopefully yours proves to be just as reliable!

Great you have your new engines in and the fiberglass repaired! You have your new and faster dingy now! Things are coming along, if everything went perfectly smooth we would not know what to do and constantly on the look for the missing snafu.

I always look forward to your updates and I'm glad they are getting your engines configured the way they need to be, Those men making them fit and insuring future serviceability are absolute pro's. No matter how many measurements and pictures taken there's always a few details that get you and I'm glad Keith is right there double & triple checking every last tiny detail, having the foresight and knowledge of what it will take to swap out anything from a belt to alternator/generator and the space for tools to work in is critical. Cheers To all aboard.

[@RobbieLValentine]

Hey Zatara gang! I'm not sure if you've watched it yet, but I've just finished watching, FALLOUT, on Prime Video. It's based on the video game of the same name. But the thing I liked about it the most was the futuristic feel of the cinematography, but it's accompanied with music and sounds from 1950's America. Oh, and good job on getting the 1st engine in!

Renee, Just Catamarans may find useful the 3D survey system to fit engines on shop drawings instead of trying with the engine itself. And you need a ski pole on that new tender.

Do you use something like Ultra-Tef Gel on your different fasteners and mating surfaces to prevent corrosion? I would be worried about those set screws in that stainless collar on the prop shaft from salt water exposure.

Have you considered creating sealed yet openable hatches where you opened up the deck, to allow you access if you ever need it again, without having to rip out the deck to get to the engines again?

[@delaneymose5538]

Kait or really all of them should look into connecting with Odyssey Expeditions. If they like doing all this Scuba diving. You can work on their sailboats and teach 20 and younger to scuba and about sailing. Typically it’s a 3 week sailing trip. But with their knowledge it’d be a great interim thing for them to do! I earned my Divemaster certification with them and loved it.
