Pure DIY. Changing a narrowboat tiller bearing. Pressure relief valve again. Gear cable..

[@manwithapan9481]

this had me in stitches m8, all very familiar ahannanigans, grinding that tiller made me howl

[@NarrowboatWill]

I'm just glad mines OK.. ha ha ha 😂

[@letsbefrank6269]

Watching you in the deep crevices of your narrow boat has been an experience indeed, talk about problem solving!

[@NarrowboatWill]

Ha ha I spend alot of time in crevices funny enough. Thanks for watching

[@markrutter5996]

Blimey Will you got a lot of jobs done. . . . That valve one would have frightened me to death. Great video mate.

[@NarrowboatWill]

Ha ha ha it turned out ok thank goodness. Thanks Mark.

[@MrCptjohn]

Morning will a boat is like the forth bridge mate never ending maintenance 😆. Another great vlog of great help for fellow boaters and especially helpful to newbies to boating,makes me feel like getting my hand in again will lols,I don’t think so 😆it’s easier whatching you mate. Good luck will safe cruising from us both xx.

[@NarrowboatWill]

Ha ha get stuck in again mate. Can't beat getting your hands dirty John. I see alot of boats that need work doing. They are high maintenance. Never ending stream of jobs to do. I enjoy most of it but not water in my bathroom. I draw a line at that. Ha cheers take care.

[@Luke-zo6nc]

Joys of living on a narrowboat...! : ) I have the same problem, have to keep emptying a tub of water from under the calorofier expantion outlet thing as featured in this vlog... It's annoying remembering to do it and check it. I need to run a pipe to bilge like you've done, but I'm still learning, so that's a job for a another time! Really love the vlogs. I have a beta marine, and your earlier videos really helped me with my engine and getting to know what's what, etc, with all your engine repair, engine service vlogs. Keep it up Will.

[@NarrowboatWill]

Hello Luke. This is why I put these vlogs up so it may help others and it has so that's great feedback for me. Thankyou

[@bigKDL]

Hi don't run the pipe in to the bilge all you get is a wet bilge do the job properly and fit a skin fitting through the side and the water is pumped overboard end of problem for ever

[@Luke-zo6nc]

@@bigKDLYes that's ideally what I want. All comes down to dosh. As that's a job for a professional, as if I attempt it I'll sink my boat fitting a skin fitting! Hahahaha 🤣. Joking aside, thanks for the tip. Suppose fitting a pipe to bilge has it's downsides, and something else to keep and eye on. 👍

[@NarrowboatWill]

@@bigKDL Bilge is usually wet anyway. Skin fitting is a job for the summer not in the middle of storm Barra mate .

[@chrislee5096]

Rather than grinding off the tiller peg, should it not have been that the tiller shaft is taken up out of the rudder cup in hte skeg and through the old bearing, the old bearing thrown away, and the shaft brought down again through the new bearing, rudder and into the rudder cup in the skeg?

[@NarrowboatWill]

It's done now. What ifs don't matter. Cheers

[@DEmma1972]

good stuff. I love the repair videos even if you dont like them happening lol

[@NarrowboatWill]

Ha ha ha I know what you mean. Cheers for that

[@robtheplod]

Fab, love DIY vlogs!!!

[@NarrowboatWill]

Yeah so do I mate. That bearing there's very little on the tube you know. Cheers buddy.

[@tonycarter3756]

As a retired engineer l find this era frustrating as nothing seems to fit .Oh ! For the imperial system.

[@NarrowboatWill]

Ha ha I understand.

[@nickevans1698]

I’ll see you on the Cut in 2023 at some point if your ever near Crick Will. Not long now. 😂 that’s how long the lead time is for my boat build is. The boat builder is flat out and my build slot is April 2023. So should at Crick July.

[@NarrowboatWill]

My god that's so exciting getting a boat built. Look forward to seeing it. I can't really say where I'll be but I can always drive up I guess. Take care mate..

[@NarrowboatPreciousJet]

Great vid again as always 👍🏼👍🏼

[@NarrowboatWill]

Cheers buddy.

[@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204]

good vid on the cut keep up the good vids

[@NarrowboatWill]

Ahhh cheers

[@MistyandMewithFreedom]

great vlog buddy...have you thought of fitting a pond type one way valve into the bilge pipe so once pump turns off the out going water in the pipe can not run back and trigger pump again,

[@NarrowboatWill]

That's a great idea. Where would I find one?

[@MistyandMewithFreedom]

@@NarrowboatWill any garden centre that sell pond fish or off eBay buddy

[@danielcameron8085]

Hi depending on your water pump but some jabso or the like have a small screw on top or under the cover to turn the pressure down a bit so the micro switch turns off at a lower psi. If you also have a accumulator it may need the pressure altering to a few psi lower than the pump.

[@NarrowboatWill]

Yeah I noticed my pressure tank had to much pressure. It's at 1.5 bar it was about 2.5. I don't know if the pumps adjust themselves do they? I've never touched it. Anyway it's all ok now. Thanks for the info Daniel.

[@danielcameron8085]

@@NarrowboatWill glad it's all ok the pumps are preset to a factory psi but some have a small screw to alter the setting up or down .p.s we did the same trip in April. From Thorne to leeds liverpool canal down the bridge water then down the trent and mersey then the trent . All the best

[@northernnarrowboater8423]

I know it’s a bit late to comment on the PRV, but if you can put an isolator valve on between the calorifier and the PRV, if you ever need to change it again you can just shut the isolator and change the valve without shutting the water off or draining down.

[@NarrowboatWill]

That's actually a great idea. Thanks

[@DoItWithPaulie]

hi Will. stick a hot water accumulator on yer hot side. same thing as accumulator on cold if you have one.prv valve will never play up again mate

[@NarrowboatWill]

The prv valve was faulty. Seems ok now. Niceee. Thanks for the advice buddy.

[@DoItWithPaulie]

@@NarrowboatWill with the tank fitted the prv very rarely bleeds off so no water going into bilge

[@NarrowboatWill]

@@DoItWithPaulie I've got a bladder tank set at 1.5 bar according to my bike pump. I'm not having any water leaking from the valve now.

[@michaelgreaves6974]

Hi, could you plumb the PRV outlet to exit overboard via your bathroom sink skin fitting. Saves having it drain into your bilge and relying on a pump to get rid of it.

[@NarrowboatWill]

No because it's to high up it needs to be lower than the valve. I'm going to put a skin fitting out the back somewhere. Thanks for thinking about it Micheal.

[@michaelgreaves6974]

Hi Will, as any water being expelled will be under pressure it should have no problem rising to an above waterline skin fitting. Mine exits via a skin fitting shared with the bilge pump. Best of luck anyhow and please keep the videos coming, love watching them.

[@NarrowboatWill]

@@michaelgreaves6974 That's handy to know. I can put T junction in and run it outside. Great news. Thanks

[@thomasfilion9064]

Ha ha ha I know David one thing after another. I still wouldn't change it for the world.

[@leedavies3629]

That was a well good watch luv shit like that one thing after another but you got there in the end how long did it take him to grind that down Will a wile I bet has that bulge pump give you any trouble going off on auto. NICE ONE Will cheers dude 🙂🦢✌️

[@NarrowboatWill]

Bilge pump works great when the water gets high enough. It took him most of the morning because of things going wrong. Ha ha Cheers lee

[@martinrose241]

It's most likely the pressure switch on the water pump and not the PRV.

[@NarrowboatWill]

It's ok now. It must of been the value or to bladder tank with to much pressure.

[@daveoliver3028]

I think your right martin the pumps not being told to switch off, the pump will trigger the pressure release valve

[@NarrowboatWill]

@@daveoliver3028 it's ok now no more problems.

[@mark123655]

And that is how you put a square peg in a round hole. Great job but a lot of labour
