Morning Will. Leon's boat looks smart, and no doubt will benefit from tlc on the systems. Enjoyed the van diagnostics. At least you gained information on what areas to look at. Mr Computer is not happy. But the van drives well. I did post a comment yesterday but its vanished I think so here's the second go.😂😂 Stay well. 👍👍. Regards. Paul.

[@NarrowboatWill]

That's funny Paul. I've had a few comments not uploading and I've lost subscribers. The plot thickens. My van is not happy. I just hope it's not the end for him..Its like losing a family member. 😕 Any who, have a good day..

[@MrCptjohn]

Like Leon’s new boat will,he is so lucky ta have a dad like you mate so hands on 👍

[@NarrowboatWill]

He is sooo lucky. 😂 🤣

[@RJ-444]

Nice new boat, Mr Leon. Nice new mechanic, Mr Van. Nice new vlog, Mr Narrowboat Will.

[@NarrowboatWill]

Thanks 👍 hopefully it's a reliable boat for him .

[@malcolmone1]

golden rule when buying a boat ,ask for the documentation ,if it cannot be produced you walk away from it ,never go by word of mouth

[@NarrowboatWill]

That's true. I don't think most boat owners understand what service they're getting when a mechanic turns up. They said it was serviced, but the mechanic said it was a carb clean. Luckily, I can do all the work. Thanks for the great advice. Take note boat buyers. 🚢

[@Kat69nh]

GG says woof. Hi Keon. Love your music

[@NarrowboatWill]

Ahhh thanks Kat. 😊

[@markmeadows9838]

Great vlog again Will 👍🏻Look at the size of that 🤔I’m glad it did stretch for you 🤪😂 Leon’s boat looks amazing 🚤💨💥🎧👊🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@NarrowboatWill]

😂 🤣 cheers Mark. Always love your comments.

[@captainpugwash1950]

One of the great wartime Ealing classics, 'The Cruel Sea' the film adaptation of Nicholas Montserrat's history novel about the Royal Navy Corvette 'Compass Rose' a magnificent watch if you can get to see it. Starring many great names including Jack Hawkins, Donald Sinden and others. Gritty and powerful, just like yourself Will. Best of luck to Leon with his 'Compass Rose'.

[@NarrowboatWill]

I have seen it. Many years ago. They made some amazing films back then. 👏

[@wayneharris7534]

Hi smiler yet another brilliant vlog from you. Although I expect nothing else there are some who have a gift for making interesting and informative videos .and you are definitely one of them.. Watching your videos reminds me of all the hours I have spent working on boats for over fifty years .. As I have seen before it's brilliant to see that your family members are around you... Anyway will keep smiling mate. As always keep yourself safe and well .. have a merry Christmas and a great new year . filthy thumbs up 👍👍👍.

[@NarrowboatWill]

Thanks again, Wayne, for your positive outlook on life. I hope you are well and happy. Cheers Buddy..👍

[@roadstrom]

Oh how lovely

[@NarrowboatWill]

👍 Agreed.

[@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204]

great vlog on cranking it on the cut keep up the great vlogs

[@NarrowboatWill]

Cheers again Lee. 👍

[@Kev_the-Brinklow-Kayaker]

All good new boat Leon happy and Mr Van looks like you know how to fix it now. Great news. Gotta go at work 😩 All the best Kev the brinklow kayaker

[@NarrowboatWill]

Cheers Kev. 👍

[@beverleybutler7685]

Leon should get a barge like you Will, especially wi your expertise to check it over 👍👍

[@NarrowboatWill]

It's all down to finance, I'm afraid.

[@lorithorpe3502]

Hi Will , like leons new boat , what make is it ? is he keeping this one or is he going into boat selling now ? .hope you get mr van fixed this time .

[@NarrowboatWill]

I'm hoping he keeps this one. He had a fire on his last one, which made him a bit nervous having the engine inside. This boat is a dawncraft 25. With an outboard motor. Lovely condition. Let's see what he does with it Lori. 😏

[@Dyfhi]

Nice 1 Will, have a good rest of the week mate 👍

[@NarrowboatWill]

Thanks, you too Wales. 👍

[@normanshute7162]

Don’t worry about the key board warriors,it’s pretty much just opinions and remember what they say about opinions, they are like backsides, everyone has one and they usually stink. Hopefully this day cruiser will work out for Leon.

[@NarrowboatWill]

😂 🤣 😆 that's a good saying. 👍

[@SueC-oj6zv]

Good morning Will 👋. I really like Leon’s boat, I bet he’s well pleased with it 😀, I guess he will love it even more when he can sail it in some warmer weather. Lottie is so beautiful, I loved how cute she looked sat on that little boat. Have a lovely day 😊🤙

[@NarrowboatWill]

Lottie is such a beautiful, calm baby. I took her shopping yesterday at B and Q, and she insisted on getting the right tool for the job ahead. 🙄 😂 🤣 I took her to Aldi as well because again she wanted her clothes washing. She's very picky. Have a good day Sue. 😊

[@edgeyt1]

Erm...is anybody going to mention that Compass Rose was the name of the corvette that was sunk in The Cruel Sea?

[@NarrowboatWill]

Oh, really. Oh dear.. Hopefullyit's not contagious. 😂 🤣

[@chrisflynn6460]

Love your vlogs Will, been following since you started. Please can you lower the level of your "music 🎶" it's very annoying and distracting from your otherwise excellent vlogs 😄👍

[@NarrowboatWill]

I think it adds something to my vlogs. I like playing with sounds and images. I've always enjoyed unusual music. Depends on what your music tastes are, I guess. Some people love it. Some hate it. I have to do what makes me happy..

[@chrisflynn6460]

@NarrowboatWill of course you must do your own thing mate, it was just very noticeable at the start of this one, couldn't hear you speaking cos of it. Keep on keeping on matey 👍

[@pathickman9271]

I always drop my volume slightly as I get this with Will's lovely music 😊

[@MessengerRising]

Are you sure you've got those jubilee clips done up tight enough Will? Oh and if I were you I would flip that EGR valve 179° not 180°. Oh and don't forget to put a PP9 in your CO2 detector 😉 Filthy thumbs up 👍🏼😂

[@NarrowboatWill]

Will do. 🤔 cheers

[@NarrowboatWill]

😂 🤣 😆

[@MessengerRising]

😂🤣👍🏼

[@desybeech5216]

If you suspend the pump it stops the noise

[@NarrowboatWill]

I've bought a super silent one, and like you said, suspended it and wrapped it in foam. 😂 🤣

[@manwithapan9481]

I'm surprised you don't have your own obd scanner for the van m8, I bought one for my car and honestly it's saved so much money it's paid for itself several times over :) can highly recommend :)

[@NarrowboatWill]

I've got one. No fault codes. This mechanics scanner costs a fortune and it also activates parts to see if they work. Thanks for watching.

[@manwithapan9481]

@@NarrowboatWill Yeh they do have the best scanners, I had like a cheap £20 one off ebay and it could find some errors but couldn't really clear any warning lights or do much at all, so I got one for a couple o hundred quid and it seems decent. So far it's found abs errors when the light came on for speed sensor n tells you which wheel, it's cleared an srs airbag error i had coz the passenger seat occupancy sensor is a bit iffy[loose wire underneath] also it can reset the srs light which the cheap one couldn't do. It's deffo paid for itself hahaha

[@NarrowboatWill]

@manwithapan9481 That sounds like a better one. I've still got that bloody light on. 😭

[@msixsteve]

Put a egr blank off or turn your egr 180 degrees

[@NarrowboatWill]

I've bought a new one and tried to get the bugger apart to do that. I don't know whether it's glued or what now.

[@theoldhobbit3640]

Define "keyboard warrior 🤔 " If your definition is someone who genuinely cares that something they see may have a negative effect on your wellbeing, then bring them on, they only comment because they care ❤🎉

[@NarrowboatWill]

I mean the armchair mechanics who know everything but have never worked in the field. You know what I mean. Picking faults no matter how good a job is. 😂 🤣

[@edwardhoughton2565]

Xx

[@NarrowboatWill]

Thanks. 👍

[@MrCptjohn]

Hiya will,love your music,hope ya keeping well mate take care 👍

[@NarrowboatWill]

Good morning. Have a wonderful day..👍

[@desybeech5216]

My comment don't work

[@NarrowboatWill]

I've got your comment.

[@christopherwright1795]

😂😂😂 , keyboard warrior here ! 😂😂😂 I’m sure that ducting needs lagging and it’s CO = carbon monoxide , CO2 is less harmful 😂😂😂 , people have installed these in there homes or sheds&garages and rave about thier efficiency but that fuel pump should drive me mad

[@NarrowboatWill]

Stay tuned. I do lag it and change the tank, fuel pipe, exhaust outlet etc. It's an ongoing project. It's all down to costs..

[@ajw1467]

You'd be lost without Mr van

[@NarrowboatWill]

I love my van. 😂 🤣
