PROJECT SUCCESS//Polishing Fuel & Re-Installing Repaired Fuel Tank-Episode 93

[@permagenix]

Degraded nylon in a tiny locknut leading to weeks of work and hundreds of $$ spent. The material science and forethought required to keep nature from eating a boat is mind bending. It seems that there are no inconsequential decisions in boat construction and maintenance.

Makes tou wonder what other surprises Lagoon left for their customers....

It's better than new. Excellent job. 👍👏

[@alejandrovanags4948]

Really enjoy the videos. Keep sharing!

[@barryhammell3478]

I really like what you are doing to Dauntless one. I will be one of the nicest cats on the water.

[@SailingDauntless]

We think so!

[@michaelcanto6175]

Hey Ty, It always amazes me how issues crop up when you least expect it. I feel your pain Brother. Love watching your Skills in problem solving. We full time RV and I always have to have my toolbox handy. Somedays it's like OMG Now What? Equipment never sleeps. I have had a rule for years now, "Never openly discuss money in close proximity to the things you own." They are listening, and a battle ensues as which one goes out to lunch next! Great Video, and Happy Anniversary!

[@SailingDauntless]

Thank you for watching and reaching out! Glad you are enjoying the vids!

[@steffenfrost]

Binge watching the whole series over the last 2-3 days [Nov 2024] to see what goes wrong on boats. Wow.

[@nickcooper14]

Great work guys, always use nickle anti-seize on stainless to stop thread binding. White nylons are imperial and blue are metric. That’s how you can spot the difference 👍🏼👍🏼🤙🏼

[@SailingDauntless]

No kidding! Good tip!

[@trinadecker657]

Good job guys!

[@jnjentinc]

Looking good ! Glad to see your sharing the “abyc code “ of 1/4” separation from any solid surface under a fuel tank 💪

[@rickhudson6890]

Time to join in on the latest fun with my favorite Armstrong Fam!

[@dc1544]

using the marvel saying love you 3000 is priceless.

[@GreenTeaDigital]

Another job done well, Dauntless Crew!

[@gdsmith3rd]

Looking forward to our weekly visit. Hope everyone had a healthy and happy anniversary celebration.

[@cuznjo1]

happy anniversary

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

Happy anniversary guys, huge milestone. Billiant work on solving the tank issue.Ross

[@Capfka]

I'm amazed at the amount of effort you guys are putting into a boat you're going to sell. If I were in the market for a Lagoon 450 (or any boat for that matter), I'd already have purchased it from you contingent on your finishing the good work! And ... where's Syd?

[@terenceharding4792]

I’ve been enjoying your videos from the beginning. I’m impressed by your willingness and ability to research and find the solution to any problem. This repair is awesome, a totally professional finished fuel tank.

[@SailingDauntless]

Thank you!

[@steffenfrost]

You could use the fuel lines to the generator, which is no longer there, for a fuel polishing system.

[@peggykm4977]

Great job; mew owner will be happy!!

[@EdwardTilley]

Big job .

[@buggy318]

small hole , a lot of work to do. damn crap, greets Buggy

[@georgeroach7499]

You should be in the boat repair business, you always do excellent work.

[@ThoughtfulWander]

Congrats on anniversary! Stay safe and keep rolling!! 👍👍

[@rauldempaire5330]

*Happy Anniversary* !!! that boat is going to be better than New!!!

[@divekatdreaming]

Tanks for the awesome video this week!!!

[@aklogcabinfilms9214]

The only thing I probably would have done differently, is maybe polishing the fuel again as you refilled the tank. But great job.

[@mathewwhite9152]

ya'll are just cool!

[@jakeoddmonic2956]

Very nice ! 🍻🍻🍻🍻

[@ericmartelle9122]

Greta job. Keep it up. Then leave us all in the spray.

[@Jetajunkie]

Great video!!

[@theTeslaFalcon]

We had our 27th anniversary this year congrats. We were also married on August 12th

[@stevedunford7632]

It's note a rule or a given but is quite common for metric locknuts to be blue and imperial white.

[@kaskl5403]

It's shame that some of these high end cats have these different issues. Great job with the repairs. Happy Anniversary.

[@Scottoh23]

Do you plan on doing the same to the other tank? Great job, gives me some ideas for my own tanks!

[@SailingDauntless]

It’s on the list!

[@clarisd]

I can not understand the reason why the subcribers are at the number they are???? I find this chnnel so very educational, instructive and informative as well as a family venture, so I am totally not understanding low sub numbers?????? Love your channel! Real life and the need of well rounded overall knowledge!

[@SailingSVPipedream]

Its the KZbin algorithm. Now if they got Syd doing some Minecraft thing with making the boat and surviving 100 days in survival mode, they would be at 1/2 million subscribers. We seem to live in a world which rewards junk, stupidity and laziness. Take Capt Sullenberger, Tom Hanks earns more money pretending to be sully, than sully has earnt in his entire life actually being Sully and being the one in the hot seat…

[@SailingDauntless]

Thanks for the kind words guys! Honestly…. Likes, comments and shares make a HUGE positive effect. It only takes 30 seconds

[@TheOldGuy]

Great Video and explanations! Have you looked at other fuel tank yet?

[@SailingDauntless]

Not yet but we will

[@janefaulkner3749]

Did you check the bolts after filling as the crush of rubber due to weight of fuel in tank .

[@SailingDauntless]

Yes

[@greatpix]

I'm surprised they didn't build in any baffles in the fuel tank to keep sloshing to a minimum.

[@SailingDauntless]

There is a center baffle but large holes

[@ericmartelle9122]

You write on the tank date of cleaning and refurb.

[@SailingDauntless]

Done

[@ericmartelle9122]

@@SailingDauntless it just kinda made sense considering the two tanks look different now and the amount of routine maintenance needed on boats. Cool. I actually said something someone heard. Probably been married too long to actually expect much. Lol.
