SAILBOAT MAINTENANCE: Service a marine diesel engine with me & Philippa (Yanmar 1000 hours service)

[@searlearnold2867]

2 girls, tools, lube and an oil change. This episode should have come with a warning label !!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@alansailing1387]

Two chicks, pristine white tops on, changing fuel filters, oil, oil filters with fabric gloves on, still clean white tops on at the end - impressed.

[@edl617]

I was doing an engine service years ago Was just in an old pair of shorts. A lady friend who sailed with me an my buddy came by and asked if she could help but wearing a bikini and a white shirt over it. I said she would get all dirty and should go change. She change by dumping the shirt and her bikini top. Somehow I manage to get everything done right the first time. And I got a reward

[@sm6wet]

Philippa is the cutest woman on all sailing channels! More of her.

[@tomelerding1399]

Both the ladies are beautiful, sexy and smart. But Sophie is the one I’d want to take home to meet Mama!

[@jameswellsjr4579]

That was the best maintenance video I seen in a long time.

[@SailingAequus]

This is such a wonderful video.. Can we do it all again please!!! Did you ever hear anyone say that after servicing an engine! It was a day I will never forget...’filled and fuelled’ with so much fun and all whilst learning new skills. Sophie I think we made the dream team duo servicing parts it was brilliant!.... thank you Ryan for being with us the whole day filming.. I am going to miss you both very much.. Philippa xx

[@RyanSophieSailing]

Oh my god "filled and fueled", hahahaha! :D Literally, my life will end when you guys leave Bonaire.... :D (oh I really hope we catch you again soon!)

[@AfterDeath1986]

Great video guys, can't wait to share it with my kids :) very cute :)

[@ksc826]

You guys need to take this show on the road (actually the sea). So funny you loose track of the fact that you are giving viewers a valuable lesson. And, I might add, you two are far, far more pleasant on the eyes than, say, Ryan.

[@massimothetrog7111]

That's the cleanest engine I've ever seen with 1000 hours on it.

[@rykbrown1893]

Nothing more fun than watching Sophie and Phillipa together.

[@darrellstyner0001]

Just have to tell you that I was changing the oil on my boat today (a Jeanneau 39 with the same Yanmar engine). I was pumping away and hardly any oil was coming out through the dipstick tube, so I pulled up this video and the first things Sophie says is to loosen the oil cap so there won't be a vacuum. Doh!! You literally saved me about 2 hours. Thanks!!!

[@BreakingBarriers2DIY]

LOL the change in music while applying lubricant.

[@RyanSophieSailing]

I couldn’t help myself 😂

[@Suzannes_Trip]

I recently took a 7 hour women's beginner marine diesel workshop, given by and for women. We learned how to change the engine oil, filters and impellers. Thank you for what seemed like a continuation of that class! Nice job!

[@tylercagwin5431]

The background giggling at the 9:20 part was amazing! Great work!

[@stevelambert7496]

Nice job ladies. Ryan is lucky to have desiel technicians like you.

[@RyanSophieSailing]

Right?! Although, he was mostly sleeping through the process 😂

[@stevelambert7496]

White shirts with no mess on them. Very impressive.

I know, right?

[@AfterDeath1986]

That is ballsy lol I have all black for work clothes 🤣🤣🤣 maybe I'm just a wreck lol

[@fnbtt]

This has surely been done digitally in postproduction. Clean white clothes on boat is a myth!

[@seaonDeltaLady]

Compulsory viewing before, during, and after every service. Bravo ladies !!

[@h3llrayzor59]

I loved the Sound Effects when Philppa was Lubricating the Impeller... You two can service my Engine any time!!! 🥰😍🥰😍🥰 Thanks for taking the time to make us all Giggle a little. Cheers 🍻

[@MichaelBuck]

I know I have seen Philippa & her Husband on another channel here but I can't recall the name of it. Still, this was a funny video and I know we all learned allot with this one. The Gloves that Philippa was wearing with the new label sticker still on was hilarious. Real men don't wear gloves, that's why we have oil and grime under our fingernails. When I saw the gloves, I was laughing so hard, then saw the sticker still on it and nearly sprayed water out my nose. It was also funny that Ryan was lingering in the background the entire time watching over the entire process. No way he would truly leave that beautiful engine in the hands of these women, hahahaha. It takes 2 women 6 hours to do a 1000-mile maintenance and 1 man, 1 hour, lol. But kudos on Ryan for using this at 20:16 to motivate the ladies.

[@gerhardpeters1]

Surprisingly both ended up clean, but not the smartest thing to mess with the engine room with white t-shirts! Well done, a clean job!

[@yankeeshogun]

Never tell a woman in a tight tank top to change into overalls.

[@myiagreeaccount8307]

I agree!

[@640vincent]

Maybe a lot of humour but a very informative video. One of the best I've watched in a long time, Two apparently novice mechanics who did the work very well indeed. Congratulations.

[@curtishyde1842]

Okay ladies I started my Maritime career in the engine room there is no way that you're going to tell me that your friend has never touched a motor before right it's all okay very instructive very professional and an outstanding final job

[@DukeMorse]

Oh that music was cracking me up...good job y'all.

[@sir.malcolm.copson]

I wish all technical videos could be made like this... great job ladies 👍😂😂😂😂

[@KubiakCr]

Great video guys , from a Yanmar employee , greatly appreciated

[@jaysunconley6764]

Ryan you're one of the luckiest men I know of. Fyi draining the other petcocks got the coolant would've helped removing all the coolant and there should be a block drain. That's the cleanest diesel with a thousand hours on it I've seen in my life. Enjoy the float

[@stevenrice3616]

Most entertaining maintenance shows ever!

[@trevhedges]

Thanks ladies.. the prettiest mechanics around!

[@shaneriehl223]

Yay Girl Power. My GF and I loved watching this together!

[@davidrhightower]

One thing you should add to the sea water pump is a small strainer between it and the heat exchanger. So if the impeller breaks the strainer will catch it and you won't have to go fishing for them. Something to consider is an oil filter relocation kit. This will let you take it off and on from the bottom and not the side

[@Captain-Paul]

Can you buy these strainers off the shelf? I assume they are inline?.

[@Linusgump]

Ryan, take one of those antifreeze jugs and cut the side off of it so it fits under the oil filter. That way when you unscrew the old filter all of the oil drains into it instead of onto your spill pad and floor. You can also use it for the fuel filters. Also, use new oil on the seal, not the old oil. The solids in the old oil can prevent the new seal from sealing, which will be a nasty leak. Ill speculate and say your coolant is that color because you need an anode in your cooling system. Otherwise, awesome video. It’s fun to see people doing things that they normally don’t do. 😊

[@myiagreeaccount8307]

I agree!

[@ElkoBarbell]

This episode deserves an award for musical score.

[@ChiChi-dy9qi]

This was hilarious. I want to see more vlogs with you two, you're very funny together.

[@sailingmarie7097]

First of all, Ryan... that engine looks SUUUUUUPERB!! Second, I have a Nanni diesel so why did I enjoy a Yanmar maintenance? GJ Sophie and Phillipa!

[@ianqv]

By far the BEST boat maintenance video EVER!! Please Girls... can you do some more :)

[@ceb7422]

You two ladies are a great team. If you are ever in the San Francisco Bay Area drop me a line. I'll let you change the oil and coolant in my Ferrari.

[@kaskl5403]

You ladies did a great job, it's good to be familiar with the mechanics of the engine and the other essential aspects of the boat.

[@sailingarista]

Awesome fun. Doing my first service of the new boat.

[@wstrater]

Don’t know how easy they are for you to find but puppy house training mats are also a good option for catching oil. They usually have a layer of plastic on the bottom so nothing leaks through. This is both a bonus and a problem. The bonus is that you can reuse the mats since the bottom is still clean. The problem is that you have a plastic to dispose of.

[@curtishyde1842]

Oh yeah and mr. Ryan just sit back and enjoy the show because I'm enjoying the out of it

[@tacosdecamaron]

Very beautiful 1000h engine service!

[@SailingwithScott]

Excellent engine service and good use of "comments for algorithm".

[@marcojuarezreichert]

Nice job, ladies. You got fun as well.

So am I wrong to thumb this up within the first second. 😍😍 Aye aye aye. So happy rite now.

[@brennansmith1381]

This is absolutely the best video i have seen that demonstrates the many ways electric propulsion is better than diesel.

[@christophergabanski9645]

Great Job! You guys kept the engine looking pristine..very nice!

[@sailingvesseltradewinds7764]

Thank you SO MUCH for showing my wife that she also can do 1000 hour service on the engine. Buys me time for other jobs😝 We hope the green gue mystery that was formerly known as coolant will be solved soon. Looks not pretty.. Great video girls... laughed my socks off😘🌈

[@LindyConrad]

Thanks for this, I loved your positive fun!! You two have a future in boat maintenance w/Ryan helping of course... :)

[@russhendrix9674]

You have really raised your game with this one! Do you think next time one of you guys could do the Xena warrior princess yell?

[@HeidiandFranny]

Now THAT is how it's done!! Loved it :) Loved the editing too - like an episode of All Girls Garage :) You two make a great team. I hope we will get to see you two tackle other projects. I am curious about the coolant. That is a weird color... So fun!! F

[@grahamlongley8298]

Stick a 1 litre plastic bottle (cut the neck off first) over (around/ under) the 2 piece fuel filter so that when you undo the bolt the filter & the bowl , plus fuel remains in the bottle. You did not clean the surface of the pump housing for the impeller change. Normally one would & change the gasket at the same time to prevent leaks. When draining oil check how much you have removed as you may not have removed it all & you may not have got the suction hose end in exactly the correct position, thus leaving some in the sump. It also gives you a more accurate guide of how much to put back. When pumping fuel back to bleed the system you need to ensure that the flywheel is at the correct position, otherwise the pump will not pump as it is not on the pump "stroke" point of the cycle. Oh & finally-- could we have a bit of cleavage when Ryan is not looking when you are doing these vids 😁 cos you 2 are gorgeous

[@bobo-wf1jv]

This was excellent and very interesting, all of these endless tasks and chores aboard the craft, ... I see them as adding spice to life. p.s. .. btw, the very first frame of the video, I love the color of the fan belt pulleys on your motor, metallic red with silver bolts .. very snappy. ....

[@jamesb3321]

I’d love to make some ,,,,,,, comments lol Nice job ladies Just a side note There’s two colours of nappies white and grey The white nappies are for hydrocarbon based liquids only they won’t absorb water based fluid so you can absorb fuel and oil off water say in your bilge Get some of the grey ones are for antifreeze

[@calvinhenshaw2147]

like your friend :-) great job trained my girls to change their own car oil. :-)

Good job girls ! Next time James and Ryan on Equus 😂😂

[@VolkovAnton]

This is one of best video. For me as person who not good with engines it was really encouraging!

[@markbernier8434]

Old farmer trick. Put a plastic bag (zip lock) over the old filter and unscrew it right into the bag along with any drips. None on your hands or in the bilge. Ryan, electric lift pump in the fuel line means no hand pumping and is a back up if the mechanical one fails. $20 well spent.

[@RyanSophieSailing]

Hi Mark. Thanks for this great tip. Never thought about it. I sometimes take a 2 liter bottle cut the top off and let the fuel filters fall right in. Works well. Ryan

[@freyja4954]

Nothing better than 2 beautiful ladies and a engine.

[@Jakfilm]

You two are wearing much more makeup than I do when changing impellers (or getting Teddy F to change impellers :) )

[@donkramer4940]

Carry a quart of Automatic Transmission fluid to fill the fuel filters..... It will lubricate the the entire system and injectors. We Have been doing this for years servicing Simi Trucks and i do it on my sailboat.... It works great when under way and the fuel filter has to be changed. I always carry a couple quarts of Trans fluid. Good work and loved the show. :)

[@IanC766]

Oh the delicious aroma of chanel diesel

[@johnhumphries6751]

I've seen some other people untightening an oil filter inside a clear plastic beer cup, to catch the spill :-)

[@herrpepe1355]

Great episode

[@ltech12]

I think Ryan should always be behind the camera.😎

[@mikecawthorne3429]

The mechanics in my local garage don’t look a bit like that. Next time you remove the oil and fuel filters put a plastic bag round them to catch the oil and fuel. A lot less messy but the white tops were impressively clean at the end. Mike in Sheffield UK

You girls rock! I can't wait to read all the comments, there's going to be some funny ones I just know it!

[@rickyburtonshaw8051]

Coolant colour should never be the basis for deciding if anti freeze is correct. Different manufacturers colour the coolant for their own benefit, there is also many different versions of various colours of fluid. The spec of the oil is the determining factor along with manufacturers approvals. When changing the coolant and using another brand always perform a system flush. The sea water impeller needs to be greased not only to make it easy to install, but also so it doesn't run dry on startup till the seawater gets up. If the impeller overheats from running dry it can break up. Other than that great video, good to see the women getting in on the action

[@simonjones7785]

oil and filters is a piece of cake I start all of my aprentices doing this sort of work

[@RyanSophieSailing]

[@alansailing1387]

In addition to draining the coolant from the engine, you also need to drain the coolant from the hot water system, (another 1-1.5 litres). Nice feminine touch for a normally blokey video.

[@acampbell198]

Entertaining and informative as usual, love your videos. Piercing a rag/towel w/ the funnel is BRILLIANT!! 40 odd years I've been changing my oil and never thought of that. Really Curious to know what you found on the coolant issue. Would love to know if you did another video on that or wrote about it elsewhere. By the way, are those military flight suits Sophie and Philippa are wearing? Exactly what I use my old flight suits for, working on the boat.

[@ovigallego9253]

Hi, you haven´t said that the impleller´s kit comes with a gasket or oring and the instruction manual talks about the right positioning of the impeller in the housing.

[@svvoyager]

when changing the oil filter I place a one kilo yogurt container in the bilge, it catches all the oil and keeps the mess to a minimum. I also prelube the gasket on the new filter so they can be quickly swapped.
