Boat lift out [DIY Failure!]

So glad to see Hank out running and having a great time. He's a happy boy.

[@CadohaAdventures]

He really is, we’re all in a good place right now. Had some health scares that are now looking ok, boat is coming together nicely, Hank is all fixed up, learned so much this winter working on boats, and even managed to squirrel away a few quid for the obligatory summer cruising beer tokens, you know, to do our bit and help kick start the economy again 😁 Hope you’re keeping well 🤞🏼🍻⛵️

[@rows3063]

Never mind the dodgy bonding, that peardrop anode is the wrong way around!! Also, when replacing that peardrop I’d recommend using the stainless bolt sets - they’ll be much easier to undo next time & if you’re really lucky & anchored somewhere warm it’s sometimes possible to change them simply by diving under the boat!

[@CadohaAdventures]

The gearbox and leg is meant to be isolated from the engine. Volvo issue special seal between the two. You can test with a meter.

[@CadohaAdventures]

Yes there is a big plastic looking divider between the main body of the engine and the sail drive, is that what you mean?

[@brianbrowne206]

@@CadohaAdventures yes. There should be no continuity between the engine block and the leg. So the anode at the prop is just having to protect the leg structure.

[@normanboyes4983]

Mads (SailLife) has a video on testing of isolation of the engine. Not sure if included testing earth continuity on anodes.

Wow, sorry to see that cone! Our Sheltie sustained an injury to his right paw and the vet found a wood sliver from our fence between his toes. On went the "cone of Shame" for a couple of weeks plus antibiotic pills. Next, after the cone situation we took him to be groomed and lo and behold he came back "skinned" they had to remove all his fur because the undercoat was matted too much. Next on the upkeep of our pooch is teeth cleaning. It seems just like the boat upkeep genre' you guys are going through! Hope Hank is better. He's a good lookin' doggie!

[@CadohaAdventures]

Hank hates the cone of shame, although he didn’t need to be in it too long as we put his wet weather gear on to that he couldn’t get to his wound and he seemed much happier in that. Glad to hear your little one is all fixed up too! 👍🏽

Hi Just a tip when you use Oxalic Acid to remove stains mix it with wallpaper paste this keeps the acid on the stain until you rinse it off, otherwise the acid j ust runs down and is a waste.

As a guy that lives where the water freezes we lift in and out twice a year at least , more if I want to travel and sometimes just to clean the bottom . Because we do it so often it is no big deal at all .

Glad Hank is ok!! Great video we enjoyed it 👍🏼 greetings from the Netherlands!

[@milesbuckhurst504]

Great video! Anodes are often a misunderstanding . Of course it can be due to poor bonding that they are not being sacrificed. But it may very well be because you did a good paint job on the bare components. Think in terms of the cathode should be much smaller than the anode in surface area - if none that is the best. Admittedly you look not to have had use of the anodes so this could be that the electrical connection is not good enough - you can check using a multimeter and check there is virtually no resistance. I have exactly the same set up as you and I use a minor amount of anodes each year. Remember that VP sail drives have no electrical contact between housing and internal mechanism and prop., so finding a bare patch is tricky.

[@stevenr8606]

Good to know all well. As for your outdrive the zinc repair to the outside was questionable. However, the main 'ground plate' has issues! While working on the grounding plate, install a Galvanic Isolation device. Their are many to choose from (ProMariner) in the 60amp range.

[@CadohaAdventures]

I appreciate the input, are you taking about the zinc on the sail drive or the one on the starboard side of the hull being questionable?

[@stevenr8606]

⬆️ as it appears 'NO' damage was seen on the saildrive the zinc had no job to protect... this a good thing e.g. not to be grounded! ⬅️ do not touch its electrical wiring system. The 'MAIN' zinc as a ground is a problem! BTW, in some other countries marines, you will find, make a Galvanic Isolator a mandatory install in the vessels electrical system, to protect you from others and the marinas electrical grid. But, you knew that. 😎

[@CadohaAdventures]

@@stevenr8606 I really didn’t know that, I’m so new to all this and really appreciate any and all feedback. I’m learning so much every day! So are you saying that connecting the anode to the main engine, via say a wire in the boat, is bad? In case I read that wrong?

[@stevenr8606]

If you have a VOLVO-PENTA, they isolate the saildrive from all electrical components. They even have a plastic spacer between the engine an drive; even special washers for the connecting bolts & RUBBER isolation for the shift cable. They even have a continuity test, which most don't know about, until as a boat owner, is too late.

[@stevenr8606]

Your grounding zinc on the starboard side IS YOUR GROUND...not the saildrive.

[@skulijakobsson5116]

Looks spiffy! Job well done! 👏💪

[@CadohaAdventures]

Thank you, although 95% of the credit has to go to Mikhail and his team. I just mostly made a mess 😂

[@glennj.1176]

Regarding your fuel tank or tanks..... can cut the original out and replace it with 2 or 3 polymer tanks with transfer tubes or pipes between them. A couple of smaller tanks may fit more easily into the required space available. Just thought. Great videos keep up the good work. All the best from Whitby Canada.

[@davidnichols213]

Great video guys

[@ChrisWilson-nw4gk]

Hi great video's. A tip when you fit anodes aways check with an ohm's meter the anode to what ever it is protecting to check they are mated to each other properly. You should get a very low reading . Oxalic acid buy a tub on the Internet in powder form for £6-£7 ,it makes gallons much cheaper than starbright ready made in the chandlers,also good for rust stains. Keep the video's coming .

[@CadohaAdventures]

One of the guys in the yard checked the connection with a beeping ohm meter for us and all checked out, I just didn’t get it recorded stupidly 🥴

[@CheersWarren]

Nicely done guys, for what it’s worth the anode on the hull should have the fat end facing forwards, think of an airplane wing how its big at the front skinny at the back but it won’t affect how it works as an anode

[@rogersmith8339]

A better analogy would be the shape of a whale in terms of hydrodynamics.

[@MiQBohlin]

Aye m8’s, did you ever get to measure if there was good connection for the anodes, with a ohm meter or similar?

[@merrickray]

ok a good wire connection to where? the boat hull is made of glass. Glass is a really good insulator. so its only the prop unti.and it has its own anode. all the rest are totally uselss unless to protect the 200 individual stainless fittings on the deck, and they dont need it.

[@MiQBohlin]

@@merrickray I probably was a bit too fuzzy in my viking way of expressing… Anyone can via a multimeter measure if there is good conductivity from an anode to the desired object. Thereby check if it is a good enough connection. Eg: from the surface of the anode to a shaft/bearing/housing/etc. It is an easy way to make sure everything is spiffy _before_ splashing.

[@grahamlongley8298]

The anti condensation layer will be a waste of time. It does not work. So keep your eye on it or you will ruin your new mattress. Perhaps some form of insulation below the panelling would be better first.

[@CadohaAdventures]

Hey Graham, thanks for chiming in. I could easily be being a bit simple here, but do you mean insulation under the actual bed itself?

[@grahamlongley8298]

@@CadohaAdventures yes. I have that layer & after a couple of nights my mattress is damp on the underside, so I have to turn the mattress on its side. to air it during the day. I have heard that IKEA bed slats are a better solution.There is also a system of modular clip together plastic pieces that raise the mattress up 20mm or so, which is said to work well. I reckon the best solution is to insulate the plywood base beneath the mattress so there is no cold layer to start with.

Sorry to hear that Hank hurt himself. My boy Vizsla was running back to the house and managed to cut a corner too close. He hit his face on a corner of the landscape wall and split it open about 4” long! It didn’t even phase the boy and it wasn’t until there was blood all over our kitchen that we knew he was hurt. Took him to the vet and got him stitched up, there’s a bit of a scar but he is fine otherwise.

[@CadohaAdventures]

Jeeez that sounds horrendous! Hank was similarly stoic himself, he didn’t cry or whimper, just licked his wounds and tried not to make a mess in the car, bless him.

[@thomaspaccione8237]

I did not think it was possible to keep a Vizsla calm, at lease not with mine. I use something call "On and Off Hull Cleaner" It is a liquid, just put some on a rag, it will wipe those brown stains right off. Of course, wear gloves and goggles as it is a mild acid.

[@lPaulSaltzman]

thesail drive oil looked brand new. Any idea how many hours you have on it. Just curious.

[@CadohaAdventures]

There’s about 60 hours worth of use on that oil. I changed the sail drive shaft seals last year and the oil at the same time, then again just changed the oil this year. I was relieved to have one job go to plan 😂😂⛵️
