yeah it was far more stressful to watch and edit than it was a the time. I had a lot of stop measures in place to make sure it couldn't roll off the dock.

How cool, GREAT JOB!! I realize how long ago this was and I don't know if you will see this comment but I just had to tell you how much I enjoyed watching you persevere and complete this part of the engine change out. Just in case you do read this, know that I heard Holly's reference to "sailor James" when you helped her change her engine in Fiji - thanks for helping my super-hero, the Wind Hippie!! I'm going to work my way through all of your vids (if i last that long, I'm a bit older than you - LOL) and I'm looking forward to adding you to my watch and enjoy list - and I'm now a new subscriber and I'll keep up with you on the other end, too.

"Give me a lever and a place to stand and I'll move the world!" Amazing what you just accomplished. You and I are about as polar opposite men as I could imagine. I am 65, been married for 41 years, lived and worked in suburbia my entire life. I live in a house that is all "tickie tacky and they all look just the same." Once upon a time I was a lean and mean sports machine. Now...well, my body has long since changed and gone a tad bad on me. We have something in common though, the love of sailing and sailboats, and the Alberg 30. If I could help you rebuilt that vessel and hang out with you I'd be happy as a clam. I got skills too;) But, I'll have to watch you progress vicariously. I too am looking for a near free Alberg 30 with which to sail the seas alone, me and me boat. May not get there. You on the other hand are on your way. My new favorite sailing channel. Wish I could support you but encouragement is all I can afford and offer. Press on. Lord Bless you and your efforts.

Thank you so much for posting this video. Your opening commentary about other people who have heard about this method of using the boom to haul an engine, but it scares the heck out them is exactly me, right now. I have an earlier 3 cylinder Yanmer I want to take out.. Your video settles my nerves and will have me hanging off the boom tomorrow as 'proof of concept'. Feel exactly what you said "If the boom won't take the weight without breaking...do i really want to go sailing with it ?" I am sure it will be fine. You've been so helpful. Thank you.
@SailorJames
@SailorJames 4 жыл бұрын
I am so happy to hear that! The only thing I will add is make sure you have your mainhalyard attached above your pick point like I did so you have that and your topping lift out at the end supporting the boom, as long as you don’t have any shock loads (ie your come along failing or the load dropping quickly and stopping suddenly) you will be perfectly fine 💪🏻👍🏻

Good idea, I too rebuilt my engine, a Palmer P60, but it was winter project, and I had an engineer friend help me, and to do it correctly, it does take time and patience, so you did the smart thing by "picking your battles". We did remove ours with my boom, but to guarantee a clean install, I did open my dusty wallet and paid for the crane truck to put it in. You're doing a great job, keep going, .... Skipper Andy

Hi James. Good video - I have done the same procedure myself, albeit on a slightly larger boat with a slightly tighter fitting, bigger Yanmar. One remark: Do a little research and consider crossing the cockpit drain pipes so that the starboard drain connects to the port seacock, and vice versa. There are very good reasons for this, and it seems almost standard; maybe your Alberg's different though, so like I said: Do your own 'due diligence'. Best of luck with everything!
@SailorJames
@SailorJames 7 жыл бұрын
oh thats a great tip and makes perfect sense !!!!!!! I won't be able to replace the hoses until I pull them out for a new bottom paint next month but I will for sure route them that way, other wise water might just flow into the cockpit on either tack! Thanks!

This installation shows that you're one hell of a 'determined' fella. I thought I was resourceful and 'not phased' by difficult tasks, but you far exceeded 'my boundaries'. I expected 'any moment' to see the engine 'overwhelm' the rig and either fall into the water or plunge straight through the bottom of the boat. Well done. 'Health and Safety' - what's that?

Nice vid with plenty of 'real world' scenes of the challenges in a project like that. Good job. Not clear from the vid but looking at the check valve it seems both the manual and auto bilge pumps are discharging to the same through hull? FWIW those valves are notorious for leaking and/or clogging. A better solution is to use a separate through hull for each pump discharge.Keeps the hose runs clean and simple, less fittings and hose clamps plus the through hulls can be kept above the water line so as not to compromise hull integrity. Just sayin....
@SailorJames
@SailorJames 7 жыл бұрын
yeah they both go to that one (broken) seacock/through hull, I will be hauling her out in November and doing the bottom at which time I will replace 90% of the seacocks and through hulls.... I will keep this suggestion in mind for sure!

Great job figuring it out how to do it yourself i did the same about a year and half ago just use a huge block and tackle system since then i have lifted the engine more than 30 times making adjustments on little projects around the red beast btw we had gone through a lot of figuring out on our boat so if you need an advice on a project msg us on Instagram maybe we already found a solution you can use we are more than happy to to help

Not an easy job to do, especially on your own. Next time or for others information you would have found it a lot easier if you had used a block and tackle as this would save you having to reach up and operate the ratchet, and less effort is required. I was a bit like you having never attempted to do this, but it all went with out a hitch
