Bilge pump acrobatics and off grid wooden boat restoration - Sailing Yabá 184

[@SailingYaba]

Welcome to Day 16! We said we would share the reality, and there's nothing more real than fighting the weather and improvising!

[@nasta67]

Força! Foco! Fé! e parabéeeeeeeennnsssssssssss

#16 #16 #16 #16 #16!! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSss

[@um_click21]

Conseguiram de novo pessoal! que estupendo!! Meu canal favorito!!

[@timidiasorria1129]

Obrigada por mais um dia

[@NavegasEsPReciso]

Bora Yabá!! que episodio lindo gente!!

[@TheOldGuy]

For your bilge pump hoses and check valves, you might want to put the check valves closer to the pump. After the pump turns off the water in the hose, between the pump and the valve, will run back into the bilge. This can create a on/off cycling of the pump, when in auto mode, and ruin the pump and waste electricity.

[@kevinthomas8025]

Very smart observation and great advice.

[@RobertLake-mf2qt]

I agree with you. The check valves are inexpensive and easy to install. The valves will also ensure the least amount of water in the bilge.

[@pidjones]

And, you can re-use the hose, just relocate the short section to the pump outlet. A heat gun will make the hose more pliable.

[@skipbaker529]

I Agree. Those hoses are a large volume and the bilge water will flow back in to the bilge from the Valentine's. Also they need to be accessible for service. Cheers!

[@c.a.mcneil7599]

Check valves really? Spend for something to hide a problem? Yes and then you have a real problem that was avoidable

[@mikenance-c2h]

Don't cover the access to the through holes until after splash . If there is an issue during launch , it will be faster and easier to get to any issues that may arise ! ⛵⛵⛵⛵⛵

[@Old-bold-pilot]

It’s all good…. Cheers. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@maryjnorwood3962]

Progress continues in spite of the rain. (That food looked amazing at the end of the video!) 😎💕💕💕💕🥰

[@DoctorBillTheRadioMan]

I really love the electrical your woman is doing. It's all in attention to detail and she has got it.

[@kevinmartin3859]

Some good advice being offered to Ben wouldn't take much to swap around neat job 😊😊

[@philmay113]

Dip the end of the plastic hose in boiling water for a few minutes and you'll get the plastic hose on the valve easily as it will be softened and stretch over easily.

[@jaygee5693]

Wave a heat gun at it for a few seconds, quicker and easier. They have one that they use for electrical connections.

[@scotttaggart71]

Without the rain, there wouldn't be any Flowers!!!

[@HypoliteChardange]

Hi, I would have placed the non returned valve close to the pump so that when the pump stop the water in the pipe would not flow back in the bildge. Additionally, if nneeded to be replaced, it ywould be accessible without removing the fuel tank.

[@clstjam4321]

Ben, consider moving the one way valve closer to the pump. As you have it, each time the pump turns off the water will run back down the hose flooding the bilge and re-activating the pump. Which will cause the pump to constantly be switching on and off as the water flows up and down the pipe.

[@Pocketfarmer1]

Check valve should be as close to the hull as possible . When the hose fails the valve keeps the seal out of the boat. Through hull , ball valve, check valve then on to the rest of the plumbing.If the volume of one run of pipe is tripping the bilge pump raise the pump switch a little.The remainder can be pumped by the manual setting. This is not a set it and forget it kind of boat. Yaba will need constant vigilance.

[@CaptRobH]

Pocketfarmer is correct. Keeping your bilgepump happy is not the purpose of a checkvalve. Keeping seawater flowing in, through your bilgepump, IS. ( or -god forbid - water entering the boat, through a hose that slipped of your pump…

[@timothytardiesr576]

Way to take the easy job. Surfs up 🏄‍♂️. Keep being awesome team.

[@rich40701]

Have you ever read “The Cruise Of The Snark” by Jack London. The build took so long that repairs were needed before the ketch was done! It reminds me of Yaba because some of your outside brightwork already needs refinished from the constant rain and humidity. London finally said screw it and set sail with plans to complete necessary repairs in Hawaii. It’s an excellent read, I highly recommend it.

[@marialinakeil8257]

Vocês são otimos.Vale o esforço. Quando estiver navegando com o Yaba.Cada cantinho trará recordações do teu sior Ben❤❤

[@SVHummingbird2]

You need to put the check valve (no return valve) as close to the bilge pump as possible so that the bilge water that is in the hose higher up can't come back to the pump when it shuts off, otherwise it has the potential to cycle continuously.

[@doncritzer2798]

It's a wood hull, those pumps are going to be coming on continuously any dam way hahaahaa

[@c.a.mcneil7599]

Nope check valves are for poor installation. See how some use check valves they don’t understand basic plumbing.

[@renatomedina6595]

❤sem embromação. Vamos trabalhar turma😅😅😅😅

[@douglasburch2320]

Continued progress!! As always, thanks for taking us along on your journey.

[@sailingsjofagel]

Another day closer to SPLASH-DAY..!! Woohoo 🎉 So much job satisfaction with every step. Not long now..!! Enjoy. ❤

[@billyoung-jn1ow]

I agree with the people that say to put the duckbill valve right next to bilge pump then the hose out. Will help you keep a drier bilge. I would put one on each pump as close to the pump as possible.

[@jamesvanian5524]

At least you are still getting things done despite the weather. Another good day. Keep well and safe. James.

[@chrismsmalley2626]

I'm going to say. The one way valve connected to the line for the bilge pump should be accessible even when the diesel tank is installed. If something happens and the valve becomes damaged you will need to get to it and make repair without moving the full diesel tank that could weigh 500 kilos. And, there should be a shut off valve to isolate that line before it goes under the tank and connects to the through hole. You'll be happy you installed the redundancy.

[@adrianhewitson7077]

❤ can't believe how much you have done it's looking beautiful it will be sad to see it finished 🎉😊

[@johnclark2660]

Hard to believe the transformation of Yaba. You two are to be commended on your vision, hard work and unending labor of love. ☕💓

[@majidalraissi9279]

Cool we are getting there 🎉❤

[@hansrutten3310]

❤counting down for launch!!!❤

[@StreetTruckinTitan]

A suggestion would be a white board or Post it stickys with a To Do list on projects that need to be completed before going to the water, and then what to do after youre in the water.

[@davedave8799]

Yes when I built my house I used two chalkboards. My list and my wife’s list. No fuss, great communication

[@johnnunn8688]

It will be on the phone, Shirley?

[@markchodroff250]

Wow ! The weather is hot and wet, but you people keep going on everyday 👍🏻👍🏻

[@davidross976]

Once you're in the water sailing gleefully around the world you will have time appreciate all of your sweat equity. You're making Yaba a beautiful and valuable ship. You guys are great. Keep up your super work and daily posts.

[@nasta67]

Que belas palavras escolheu para eles!! 👋👋👋

[@Maxdekriek]

another great episode... thank you guy's.... keep up the good work.. greetsz from friesland... max... 😉😊💛💙

[@charlesmurschell3110]

Lot of work and it seems that the rain never stops, but you keep moving forward. Good job.

[@rafaelmartinez1883]

Enjoying your daily posts! Yaba is looking great. Good luck! We are all routig for you amd MP!

[@henrinijkamp319]

Loïc is a great assist in the work! He sells his motor. And develops his adventures live in a other way. Maybe flying back to Europe with a lot of experience and tales to share with his friends. 👋

[@rodnelson8110]

A good tip ben is dip the end of the pipe of hot water first

[@bobuncle8704]

It’s great to see you putting in work on miserable rainy days. Hopefully you get a dry spell soon.

[@Schaneification]

Still Here Keep Working !

[@garybensel6680]

It's nice to see you putting the one-way valves in. Don't forget a flapper on the exhaust, like on a tractor exhaust stack only yours will be horizontal to keep the waves out. SVL just bought a new boat and their engine was destroyed on its first rough weather outing when water entered the exhaust and seized up their engine.

[@josecarloscampelo7501]

Bom dia Ben e Loik.😊😊😊

[@bishopkinlyside8477]

Hi guys, another day closer to get Yaba in the water give up the good work from Australia

[@MichaelTodd-b2q]

Just like the Postal Service Job has to get done, no matter what the weather. or obstacle thank you MP and Ben and your entire team. Inspirational keep on keeping on❤😊

[@dcallan812]

WOW thats a lot of rain. 2x👍

[@michaelpratte5232]

Looking great! Ben! Keep up the hard work. You'll be enjoying it soon!

[@richardchiriboga4424]

Every day one step closer!!!! Looking good!!! Stay dry!!!

[@laptopuser3323]

Gday guys another one down getting close to the water

[@robertwilson-lc2xb]

Every job gets us a little closer to splash, keep vids coming

[@alan-sk7ky]

It rained that day, like a rainy thing...

[@kiwi-kt2bo]

I dunno how you do all this and have time to edit videos. Keep it up guys! I wanna buy all your merch when you start shipping to New Zealand 😅

[@jackrabbit5047]

Looking good, guys.

GO GO GO just to help the algarithium

[@Rgarizonahomestead]

Rain is a pain to work on your boat, but you did some stuff finished. Take care, and i will see you guys on tomorrow's video

[@stuartgelinas]

a hot air gun/hair dryer would help you with the install of your hoses, just apply a little heat when cutting, installing on the hose barbs and when you install the clamps. the heat relaxes the hose.

[@Sisineddu]

Ben, I wanted to remind you that diesel tanks are not blocked "Longitudinally". If you get rough seas with pitch they can move.

[@davidburrows9992]

There are recesses molded into the tanks, place a wooden block into those recesses and fix block to wooden tank mounting brackets.

[@jempee731]

Keep up the good work. For Lowieke " Groetjes uit westerlo"

Hai sobat,, saya sangat senang melihat proses pengerjaan kapalnya,, penuh dengan perhitungan dan ke telitian dalam pembuatannya❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

[@lord.jonrogers4636]

Well done guys. Getting very excited. You are almost there.

[@timidiasorria1129]

Quanta chuva gente.... força pessoal!!

[@Winging-it-1000]

So I coined a phrase for this kind of work… “Applied Yoga”! “Keep going”!

[@stevedraycott4289]

I did not see you do it and you may well of done, but I did notice you struggling to get the hose on to the hose connector. Just a tip to make it easier is to put the end of the hose in boiling or very hot water to make it supple and easier to push on. This also makes a better seat if you tighten your hose clamps when the hose is soft . Great to see you every day now and so looking forward to your splash. i have been with you from day one and actually thought you were both nuts.. I've never been so glad to be proven wrong. :-)

[@marcellebaudry5786]

cool

[@jamesglavich1426]

This would have been a good day to route those cables, or wrap them to protect from the threaded rod they are sitting on. I would guess they are for the windless, but they don't need to be sitting on the bolt or whatever that is. We are anxiously waiting from central Florida for the splash.

[@extremelydave]

Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, some work, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, and then it rains more.

[@MrJBenvenuto]

I suggest that you place the one way Valve on the pump side

[@georgewood8691]

Check valves should be installed right at the bilge pump. The idea is to keep the water in the hose from flowing back into the bilge when the pump shuts off.

[@paulnielsen8528]

Crazy idea. You've had to re-caulk a few times due to the wood drying out. Is it worth spraying water in the lower levels to expand the wood a bit AND test the bilge pumps at the same time. I'm sure they'll work perfectly. Just start the wood swelling now before you splash Yaba.

[@rayboucher479]

Check valve !

[@rolanddunk5054]

Hi, i will say as others have,your non return valves need to be closer to the pumps you also need easy access and not behind a fuel tank.cheers Roly🇬🇧.

[@rolandtb3]

Rain, rain go away, Ben wants to play.

[@keithmcknight7646]

I don’t know HOW you 2 are going to manage such a BIG BOAT? May want to put a bow thruster ON NOW!

[@leonaessens4399]

I live in Townsville, Australia, and we've just gone through a nasty cyclone followed by a series of heat waves and no power for five days. North Queensland can be a trying place. Right this moment, it's raining heavily again. So when I see you struggling with tarps, I'm thinking, "you've seen nothing yet, son..."

[@dazfromnz01]

Who cares 😂 this channel is not about you mate😎

[@michaelcharters5727]

What do you need to launch into the water? Do you need Harbour authority? What navigation equipment is already on board? will you live on board from now onward?

[@pedronunes5596]

Boa tarde meus amigos. Estar a trabalhar já sobre alguma pressão e ainda por cima a chover, é certamente um grande incómodo. Até amanhã, Pedro Nunes

😊😊

[@royfranssen8315]

Het ziet er steeds neter uit het mooier

[@doncritzer2798]

I have a Grand Banks 36 wood hull, I have 4 bilge pumps too

[@daveskye]

When fitting PVC pipes to hose tail fittings dip the pipe end in a cup of near boiling water for maybe 30sec. It will then be effortless to slide in on to the hose tail. It cools down quick , it shrinks hard on to the fitting giving a water tight seal.

[@michaelmerrithew4042]

Yes, the one way valve, or check valve, should be installed immediately after the bilge pump. Keep up the good work. What happened to the bananas?

[@SailingYaba]

Thank you! We completely forgot about the bananas 🙈

[@markchodroff250]

Good day to check for topside leaks !

[@claudehopper9813]

Great job on the bilge pumps . BTW : Those are commonly called backflow preventers or check valves in plumbing language .

[@garrycrompton3381]

The non return valves need to be placed close to the pump. Prevents cycling of pump.👍

[@basooink2305]

Amai, Amai.. mannekes toch. 😂

[@nicolasmorel1206]

amai is zeer vlaams zenne ;-)

[@ikerstges]

best apply 4-eyes principle for critical connections like those hoses.. one person connects it and a second verifies.. especially for those items that have no access later like those hoses that will be covered under the dieseltanks..

[@joserobertoxavierdasilveir3369]

Olá tripulação do Yabá! Uma dica de quem tem um pouquinho de conhecimento. Utilize válvulas anti retorno residencial de latão, pode ser Docol, Deca etc, mas não instale válvulas Jabsco. As Jabsco falham em pouco tempo. Digo isso, pois fiz essa substituição no meu veleiro há anos e com sucesso. Outra dica é instalar as válvulas em uma posição mais baixa, pois o peso da coluna d'água na tubulação ajuda no funcionamento. Abraço!

[@handmadefutures]

I posted the other day how we must be on the same latitude here in Australia as you in Brazil because we were working outside in crazy hot and humid weather as well. Well, we’ve just had a massive downpour of rain as well. How crazy coincidental is that?

[@humbertomartins8170]

Ola tudo bem ... na boa 5 episódios somente para mostrar conexão de tubo em saída externa, fica um pouco maçante ne.

[@claudiobercht105]

...um pouco enrolação demais!!! 😮

[@taffythegreat1986]

It looks like it’s waining 😂. Is it a tropical storm or just raining? Myself I life in the far east, I love it when it rains.

[@garyjones1525]

You might look into Maxx Air fans to better vent the heat out of the cabin and improve air flow.

[@stevethurlow9059]

You will need to service the one way valves at some time...lower them below the tanks

[@thomcoolidge6524]

Are you making emergency wood plugs for your below openings below the waterline? Good wood available within feet of the build.. Your work is looking beautiful ant the electric is going to be asume.

[@danaskubic2145]

When are you doing the anodes? After the antifouling paint? Keep plugging away, thanks for sharing.

[@danbricker8143]

you want to look at the fuel tank brace on a semi truck it may help you

[@osvaldogomes7578]

the return valve should be justa after the bilge pump, otherwise the water inside the hose between the bilge pump and the valve will return to the boat

[@pidjones]

This would have been a good time to change the bow locker hasp around so you wouldn't be trapped inside!

[@rickbrauer6794]

No surfing? Had the song already based on 'Surfing USA' now it's 'Everybody's gone surfin', surfin because it rained'.

[@stevenbamford6883]

👍

[@peterboyle5421]

A little soap (liquid) will make it easier to put your hoses on. Not much, just a little.

[@kirkrobertson6085]

Doesn't matter how big the boat is; the works is always in the most out of way spot requiring contortions to access

[@user-sx4yu3nw4j]

I’m confused, do you not have your Victron inverter installed yet? You should be able to charge from shore power if you do. Also, I’m curious to hear why you chose the MultiPlus and not the Quattro. Keep up the great work!

[@antoniogomesdeamorim4688]

Bom dia Pessoal, haja chuva hein amanhã será mais uma esperança de que teremos muitas novidades no Yabá
