Start up Procedures on 65' Yacht E28

We go over start-up procedures as we prepare to move our boat to a different slip.

[@matthewjohnson9361]

I enjoy your videos for a couple reasons. First is my time served from ‘79-‘85 in the USCG. Start up procedures brought back memories of daily checks on the 41’ utility boat. Checking pump impellers and water out of the exhaust to make sure your cooling system was good. Loved the smell of fresh diesel exhaust in the morning! 😉 The second is the time spent working at the former Hatteras Yachts facility in High Point NC. From ‘87-‘90. Then again from ‘94-‘98. Was electrical/mechanical systems installation technician on several models. 39 and 45 convertibles and sport express, 40 and 42 DC and CMY. 50, 52, convertibles and MY and CMY. Production was all consolidated in the New Bern NC plant and High Point closed in ‘98. To hell with the naysayers. She looks sweet (yes I meant the boat). Keep the props in the water and the cabin dry. Happy boating 👍🏼👍🏼😊

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Thanks for watching! We love the Hatteras. And the community of Hatteras owners is great as well.

[@pauldormont4470]

Thanks for posting this. I haven't been at the helm or in engine spaces in probably 35 years and really enjoy seeing all the changes that have occurred over that time. Fourteen years in the Navy and only saw the sea twice from the air. Haha! Thanks again.

[@Canopus68]

Go Navy. I worked on boats in Scotland and later worked on barge ferries with a CB unit. I did four years active duty and13years USNR.

[@thedeportedmule3653]

I stumbled across this channel with the "how much does it cost to operate a boat" video. Love how this channel shows the day to day life of an owner operater. A unique perspective that contrasts the numerous other boat channels nicely. Keep up the good work guys.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Thanks. There seems to be very few motor boaters posting. We are glad you enjoy the videos!

[@edwarddesouter724]

Your better in your original spot. Your always gonna get that swell coming in even with the breakwall

[@tryingnottosink9107]

We did move back, and are staying there all winter.

[@ryde4ever3]

I was literally going to say the same thing, maybe not so eloquently. I'm a fairly young man interested in owning a vessel such as this someday and I really appreciate the real information you guys portray. Its easy to see a yacht's sticker price and base your projections simply off that but to gain all the behind-the-scenes knowledge of an owner-operator will definitely prepare me better for the day when I'm an owner too. So thank you!!!

New subscriber here from Tampa,FL who really knows nothing about the yachting world...but have owned many various RV's over the years including a vintage 1983 Bluebird Wanderlodge which back in 1983 new was over $300K...Like your yacht, older gets you much better quality...which you have a beautiful vessel! Just started watching your videos but my first one was a tour you gave and you said you planned to create a larger kitchen bar area and the wood choice looks fabulous!! Thank you for your great videos!!

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Glad you like the videos. We love how the counter came out and it really opened up the room.

We are. Thanks!

[@JamesSmith-sj5yi]

You have a beautiful boat. So glad to see a channel on a powerboat instead of a sailboat.Bet you can't wait till summer.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

I know. It is hard to find posts from power boaters like us. That is one reason we post ourselves.

[@WanderingKnapps]

We too love the power boat info. We have been learning from mostly sailing people, so I feel the same. It's great to see other power boat info

Yes. Someone said it. Tired of the sailboat channels

[@stevenbiars6212]

I was working at a refinery maintenance turn-around a couple of years ago -- they had a pair of Detroits on a flat bed semi trailer running a portable LOX setup. They ran for weeks on end with zero down time. I loved the sound.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Took me a while to get used to the sound. Now I like it.

[@fernandoangosjarauta3998]

I follow, as subscriber from Spain, all of your videos Captain Ed, and I must say, I love them and by the way I congratulate you for your wonderful wife Lyn, great Señora and helpful camerawoman.

[@guidedmeditation2396]

I loved this video. It is like a virtual money pit boat video. The crawling over and tinkering are more than half the fun of having a boat even though it can get expensive. I can't count the times I have made trips to the boat parts store or thumbed through catalogs for parts, accessories and upgrades. Watching someone else do it all doesn't cost me a thing. One particular thing I like about boats these days is the cameras especially the engine room cameras. Invaluable for sure but be sure to have one pointing at the sun pad as well.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

It is funny. I hate working on my house but do not mind working on the boat at all.

@Trying Not To Sink. Aren't those coverings over the lower windows intended to protect rain from getting into the interior from the top of those windows - if not what IS their purpose?

[@josephschlener6685]

i stumbled on your 2019 annapolis (my current home) boat show vid and then saw the one where you were changing slips. About 10 years ago I bought my first boat. A 1977 Hatteras 43 dc here in Annapolis and took it home to that very basin yours is in. Compared to Penn's landing and the Phila Marine Center it was kind of a dump, but cheap and it allowed live aboards. The folks with the Hat behind yours were very nice. It seems most of the really crap boats are gone. Your slip at the bulkhead had an old 45 foot or so chris craft with nonfunctioning engines. Next to that was a houseboat with a small tree growing out of the out drive hole. I was in about the fourth finger slip from where you were going to move. Really good view for the fireworks. You can get pretty good wake rocked and rolled there . The pilot boats and tugs are the worst. The big ships roll with the tide and make almost no wake. Really hope it got dredged. There were days at low tide that my boat was no longer in water. The people in the other basin (for readers: there is an identical basin on the other side of the blue wharf building) mostly live aboards; were very much a little community. I spent most of my time over there. When I first came there I had a Captain friend that brought us in. Two years later, when I leave, I have to single hand her out of that "S" turn breakwater. Remember I have zero experience, but I made it. Thanks for the interesting memories. Beware of stan.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

The marina is in bad shape. It has not been dredged and there is only one slip I can stay in. The electric is terrible. Worst of all, Philly Marine Center closed last year and the owner of Pier 5 raised the rental rates 50% this year. They are trying to force all the crap boats out, and it will probably work, but I am not happy about the price gouging. On the up side, the location is excellent.

[@davidpulaski5628]

Oh, the memories, thanks for the excellent video !!! :-)

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Thanks for watching!

[@matthewholzmueller6292]

Hi! Ed & Lyn. my Name is Matt I live in delco. I love watching your videos. Growing up on the Chesapeake, Hatteras was always one of my favorite boats. I operate and repair several diesel street sweepers and have learned quite a bit. Your Raycore filters look to have the same lids and O-rings .I personally would top off the fuel filter like you do before a trip swap lids with another that does not leak down. Give it a few days or weeks to see the results. If you think it is from the dimple that you had mentioned swap out the o-ring from the other one that did not leak down. If it still leaks down you know for sure it is the abnormality of the lid.Personally, after doing this I would go to Raycore or a local hydraulic shop to match up replacement o-ring for all filters. I use a place called BFR on ridge pike off the blue route in Plymouth meeting. Bring them the o-ring ask for Joe. ANY WAY. I hope this helps burn some time over the winter. Best wishes.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Thanks, that is great advice, I will definitely try it. If it works you will see it in a future video.

[@roadrashray9416]

Captain Ed-I found your channel over the weekend and binge watched all of the Hatteras and a few of the Carver vids. I found them to be very enjoyable with a fairly high production value. I like the fact that you do a fair amount of the repair, maintenance and upgrades yourself and film it. Over the years I found that doing much of the general maintenance on my boats and RV's gave me good prep for that middle of the night failure. A couple of suggestions. Wind noise canceling is fairly easy with a muff for the mike. I have always found dealing with the challenges of docking, slip entry and egress and mooring ball capture and tie up to be some of my most challenging and interesting boating adventures. I know I would appreciate it if you mounted a couple of cameras to capture the good, the bad, and the ugly of your docking adventures. I know that docking can be a very humbling exercise and will promise that if you will do it I for one won't make any snarky remarks. Your experience with the dock with nails and screws sticking out which affirmed the wisdom of using fenders every time took me back to my first ocean, coastal cruiser in So. Cal in the 70's. I always used fenders when docking, however during my first trip to Catalina Island I needed to drop a couple of girls of at the city dock to pick up some burghers. No big deal, I was a very experienced boater and could surely sneak right in and with a gentle kiss pull off and wait their return. No fender needed. What I didn't take into consideration was the taxi boat that came rushing by just as my shiny fiberglass hull was a few inches from the side of the concrete rimmed dock. Bam, deep chunk out of that shiny fiberglass. Never failed to rig fenders again. Thanks for all you and Lynn do to produce these video's. They are very enjoyable-Ray

[@tryingnottosink9107]

We will definitely be using a dead cat next season. 😁We have a couple of clips where we use a Go-Pro mounted to the rail. they show some docking and I will be posting them soon. We are glad you enjoy the videos, thanks for the feedback!

[@tryingnottosink9107]

No they are towards the bow. Twin turbos.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Depends where. We paid $400 in Ft Lauderdale, but that included a bottom wash and they let is stall on the lift for a couple hours while we did the survey.

[@actthree34]

You might want to think about mounting two inexpensive video cameras, one on the bridge looking forward and one looking aft. We use RAM mounts for that purpose since they easily attach to any 7/8 or 1-inch diameter railing and permit either cam to be pointed in any direction. No wiring required. Just turn them on whenever you see something interesting and afterward, preview what you've recorded and dump the sequences that aren't all that interesting to save time editing. Great series. I've gone back and watched most of your earlier videos. It's almost as good as being on our boat.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

It is a good idea. We have surveillance cameras set up but the quality is not good enough.

Nice boat and tanks for the short tour . This is a pet peeve of mine > Ok though it probably was the engine compartment ventilation system I heard running , it should be mentioned that the ventilation should always be run for several minutes before starting the engines or even before supply power to that compartment . Frankly turning on the ventilation system is the first thing I do after boarding even if I'm not taking her out . Just so I don't develop an over site of forgetting to vent the engine compartment .

For gasoline engines, yes; he's diesel. Generator is diesel as well. Diesel requires compression and heat.

[@billwilletts]

My Hatteras also had a pesky leak I couldn't find. I finally found it. The seal on the pet cock to the Racor had a small enough leak that it would suck air but would not leak when stopped! I found it by running the engine and taking a flashlight and putting it on the bowl and I could then see bubbles not visible without the light. Good luck

[@themidnightrdr7292]

Switch the covers on your Raycor filters and see if the problem moves to the other filter.

First time I came across your videos very cool. Looks like you have 8-92-ti’s. I would look at your injectors to see if they are leaking you will see a lot of smoke on start if that’s the case. If that’s ok look at the crossover lines to the injectors they can sometimes leak. Not knowing the boat that’s the best advice I can give.

It has been a while since you have posted this video and someone may have already commented on this. Have you considered installing a small bleeder valve on that line to the filter? That way you don't have to keep loosening the fitting that feeds the filter.

I also notice that the oil pressure is running low on both sides. Should be 50#'s both sides, on start up. Sounds like he knows her well, as I am a Hatt owner myself. But I watch the pressures closely, both at startup and at differing rpm's. Otherwise a beautiful 65' vessel (these are tanks and I love them!)..

[@tryingnottosink9107]

THe low numbers made me nervous as well. The captain who maintained the boat said it was just the way the gauges were reading, and they have been consistently at those numbers since I bought her (around 25psi when warmed up at idle, and around 35 psi at 1200 rpms. I always make sure the oil is at the right levels and change the racor filters. I plan to change the main filters before I take the boat out a gain and see if anything changes.

And has no relation to the tides? And sir you should always grease your O-rings lightly. It improves it's sealing capability and extend the life of the O-ring. It also may help with the air in your line. Good luck. Also spraying your motors with CRC cuts down on corrosion and salt. ***NOT WD40** it is highly flammable. !!!!

[@timmayer8723]

big plus, there is no need to vent the bilge when your boat is diesel powered. I had a relative and his wife who failed to vent the bilge in their twin engine gas fueled yacht. There was an explosion and fire that burned both very badly. The boat was a total loss. Diesel sure eliminates this problem if you don't mind the smell.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Is that the odor I smell whenever I enter the boat?! :-) I always make sure to use the blowers on the Carver (twin 454 Crusader gas engines).

[@Entgineer]

how fast do you cruise when you're traveling?

Hi, At 7:25 the rope would be TAUT, unless you were trying to provoke or challenge the rope with insulting remarks.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Well, those lines were getting on my nerves and needed an attitude adjustment! Thanks for the correction, apparently I have been using that word wrong for 50 years. I have one for you - on a boat it is always called a "line." It is a rope when it is on land. :-)

[@zombiesneedluv21]

LOL - I stand corrected! However, if the line is coming from the dock, which would be considered land, is it then a rope again? LOL - just kidding! Glad you could take it all in stride and we could have a good laugh! Love the boat by the way!

[@rondill8429]

*When standing on the boat it's called a LINE.... When Standing on Land or Dock it's called Rope.....LOL But ya Gotta Draw the Line From Somewhere!...LOL*

[@mickeypopa]

Stop knit-picking.

[@MicheIIePucca]

Wow.. thats cool. Thank you! You almost have to be a bit of an engineer to run the engines and systems :)

[@tryingnottosink9107]

It is definitely a learning experience. Good thing I have the manuals!

[@ramranch6327]

Nice boat ⛵

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Thank you!

[@sakamotothecat17]

How do you know how to operate your yacht? Is there a manual or do you go to some kind of school to get a license? How long does it take?

[@MooreFishing-ky3wq]

Appears to be Philadelphia, near the Ben Franklin .

[@tryingnottosink9107]

It is in Philly.

[@gonefishing1939]

lol, i have the same power supply outlets on pier, always stuck and requires a little violence to open the cover,lol.

[@1roberickson]

Worked for Bluewater yachts, Mora, MN. Sold a 'bpat" to Ross Perot. Like normal all were informed of docking and storage. Sure enough 9 months later after a few months of non use we get a call..Not starting.. LOL after airfare and all the other bs it was fuel evap an non priming. So mmuch for the "captain". LOL

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Interesting story!

[@jamesdjesse]

anyone who thinks living on a boat is a fool. thanks for bringing reality in view

[@JCrook1028]

Um..............you may want to try that sentence again..... seems to be missing something. I'll let you see if you can figure out what.

[@yoyo5069]

I flipped a canoe under the betsy ross... if you see beers and a cooler floating I want them back

[@tryingnottosink9107]

We'll keep an eye out!

[@Millyyyy93]

Is this in philly? Next to dave and busters

[@tryingnottosink9107]

At Penn's Landing in Philly.

[@fredbroom5050]

I see you had problems with the Racor. Had to take the top off of the Racor, make sure the Racor was full, then re-seal the Racor. You then bled the Racor. Did you service the fuel-water separator?

[@tryingnottosink9107]

No. I am not even sure if the water separator can be serviced. I should look into it.

[@lifelong5425]

Looking at these engines...number 1 reason we sold our boat..2 x 350 crusaders that were wonderful, yet...dollar after dollar..some fun..dollar after dollar..just keeping them up to par for safety and longevity. Readying for the weekend, then it rains and blows..If you can't use these big beasts more than on the weekend..it kinda defeats the saying...pleasure boating !

[@1kallay]

The missus is a good deckie.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

I agree!

[@rockn997]

Some guy was saying if you use salt water to wash the boat it leaves no water spots and he said some people have a water softener at the dock, I think that’s what he said

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Washing with saltwater will leave salt all over you boat. We only use saltwater to rinse off the anchor after anchoring out.

[@rockn997]

Trying Not To Sink It is so nice Bill that you and your wife like doing this equally, if one person is not crazy about it it never works out.

[@jimmykennon4591]

Great video very helpful

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@rockinrowdy13]

I'm not a big fan of boats in general..I'm afraid of the water :-( I prefer my 60' Provost..but you DO have an awesome ship there..Now all you need is an African Grey Parrot as a mate!

[@tryingnottosink9107]

We do have an African Grey, "Cleo." She shows up in some videos.

[@brucebell7347]

She"s better than our lounge at the nursing home. Wanna swap LOL!

[@james5460]

Nice spot, but a nicer spot during the winter would be in Key Largo. I'm just sayin'.... Nice video.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

[@marksmer1]

The video should be called if you want a 65 foot boat - have a lot of money

[@tryingnottosink9107]

and a lot of free time!

[@xxturbowesxx]

You can get a 65' boat after a hurricane with salvage rights that will need new engines, Electrical, renovation,etc.. Nobody seems to do it.. There's a reason(you'll end up with a 10 year project and spend damn near the same money). Buying the boat is the cheap part when you think about it.. The boat is tangible so you can always sell it.. It's the day to day(month to month honestly) stuff people don't think about. Also the start up procedure would be much quicker if the boat was used regularly but that's painting an incomplete picture of a 65' boat. Moving around isn't really the point, They use tons of fuel, not easy to maneuver so the view is just fine from the slip.

[@tryingnottosink9107]

We put 1500 miles a year on her, but that mostly happens over a two month period, so she does stay in place a lot.

[@marksmer1]

Wes Carpenter good information thanks!

[@oafyvonskidmark316]

My boss had a 65 ft boat , he took it out on the Sacramento river all the time, I had a 18 ft Tahiti ski boat with a 454 chevy with tunnel ran and 2x4 carbs and it used 20 gallons per hour when flooring it, which was often since it was a jet and without power you barely steer them at any speed, you have to gun it to steer them, if anybody with no money got a yacht it would be due to a genie or be a death trap. THose motors on cruise do not use tons of fuel I imagine compared to a stupid ski boat that chugs 20 GPH, it even had a GPH fuel gauge!

[@amenra2]

Great vid! Thanks!

[@tryingnottosink9107]

Glad you liked the video!
