The Enduring DeFever 49' Pilothouse (Harbor Pilot Yacht Tours)

[@HarborYachtTours]

Here’s what the Flat Line reel is for The Ultraline Flat Rope Reel makes stern-tying quick and easy! The reel comes in four sizes and includes two rail mounting kits and an ingenious reel/winch handle. Made of 316L stainless steel, the Ultraline Flat Rope Reel provides a compact system to stow line for instant accessibility, whether used for anchor line, stern tying, dinghy towing, jacklines, or whenever extra line is needed quickly. The durable Delrin® reel bearings and Teflon® fairleads ensure smooth, lasting operation. These flat ropes are designed to stretch as loads increase - absorbing hard sudden surges so your cleats don't have to.

The raised "box" in the engine that you ask about, is called a sea chest. It pulls in sea water and distributes outflow to engine heat exchangers and other equipment requiring seawater cooling. The sea chest eliminates the need for multiple seacock valves and the damages caused when debris gets sucked into the valves. With a sea chest, it is an easy matter to pull the cover and remove the debris without even having to shut off the intake valve.

[@HarborYachtTours]

Nice should be the standard

[@anthonybasiliere9366]

Exactly. Some boats use the chest to pump water on tanks of either side of the boat for ballast as well. Some larger yachts have one chest port and starboard. This is an extremely well designed and built boat that has been meticulously maintained over the years.

[@jbbbda]

That is a "sea-chest", source of raw water serviceable by removing lid, which is above waterline.

[@HarborYachtTours]

Must be to reduce the intakes under the waterline? Seems like a great idea.

[@LytStyx]

Yup! All through hull fittings are serviceable without pulling the boat out of the water. Other than seeing it one time on another make, the sea chest is unique to DeFever.

[@BrianBHatteras43c]

The rectangular box in ER is a seachest, note all the utility RW intakes come off of it (engines probably separate).

[@HarborYachtTours]

Nice is that to reduce the amount of intakes in the hull?

[@SuperJlonergan]

yes@@HarborYachtTours

[@bradnutter41]

Exceptional vessel amazing space for size, Can’t believe the size of engine room. Very clean. Yes the epoxy over the decks, shame, but it doesn’t define this vessel. And yes the Defever inside helm doesn’t have the best visibility, but again the cleanliness and condition inside and out shows a well maintained vessel, very well. Love it, and 2 fridges and freezers, wow. And I left out that upper helm!!!!

[@lakeseminole]

Great kitchen with the windows! Love the layout of the boat. Large buffet area in the salon. Love these trawlers and this DeFever is in great shape!

[@HarborYachtTours]

One of my favorites so far

[@frewpayne]

Nice boat, great for the loop

[@Rottingboards]

Thanks for giving the asking price!

[@HarborYachtTours]

The price is in the description. Subject to change though. Call the broker for the current price and availability. Thanks for watching.

[@castlerc]

Thanks Brian, yeah I think you’re doing a good job with your videos.

[@HarborYachtTours]

Thanks I really appreciate that!

[@ironichumorist]

what a great looking boat.

[@HarborYachtTours]

It is. Thanks for commenting

[@marshmellow3110]

The cockpit and extended hard top make it

[@HarborYachtTours]

Yep

[@steveborgman3987]

That was great 👍 nice engine room

[@wolfganghofmann3977]

Nice boat 🛥️!

[@HarborYachtTours]

It was definitely the best boat I’ve toured

[@williamconway1287]

Nice little/medium sized boat !

[@erwinheins6365]

Would like to have seen the water and air drafts and the shaft seals accessibility. I also like the ability to enter the engine room from a door and not the salon floor.

[@WZD10016]

My favorite Displacement Hull

[@michaelwoo4279]

I think it’s to cool the engines with sea water. Do you know what class it is? Is it ocean ready? Thanks for showing. New to channel!

[@HarborYachtTours]

Not sure if she’s ocean ready but seems like it. Thanks for watching

[@paulpicoso7286]

It looks like a sea chest. I believe it filters your water going through your engines. Some of your sea going boats or vessels use salt water to cool the engines.

[@shawnrhyme5831]

Shawn Rhymes here. I'm enjoying this video and I saw that your videos only go back a couple of months or so. 2 questions; one, were you able to stand upright in the engine room? And 2 the 2 refrigerators, could one of them be a freezer? Aside from the other freezers. I thought the shower was a bit small. Either way thanks for the video.

[@HarborYachtTours]

If I remember correctly, I think I could stand up in the engine room and yes that could’ve been a freezer but I’m not sure you can check with the broker if the boat still available. Thanks for watching.

[@repurposedart9897]

The new owner can to add captain a nice seat at the main helm...Nice boat for the age this beauty.

[@VickiFrederick-s8c]

She is beautiful.

[@HarborYachtTours]

I thought so too.

[@jerrycallender7604]

New subscriber sends Greetings from Tucson, Arizona. I'm looking for a DeFever/CHB/NOVA for a live aboard. That's the raw water for engine/transmission/HVAC cooling.

[@HarborYachtTours]

Welcome aboard!

[@amasiatv6040]

Nice Boat

[@HarborYachtTours]

It is thanks for the comment

[@michaelcalvert6798]

I couldn’t find the price and other pecs on this boat…location and specific information!!!

[@HarborYachtTours]

She’s sold

[@hithere7382]

Can large dogs like German Shepherds and Labs use stairs like the ones on these boats?

[@HarborYachtTours]

Some can some can’t they will probably try to jump up def not when they get old.

[@hithere7382]

[@carminezoino9789]

🎉Very nice ,Interested

[@HarborYachtTours]

Thank you very much

[@Rottingboards]

That decking paint over really takes away from this boat. That would be hard to grind off. Looks like a quick fix the owner did. 😞 But the rest of the boat looks fantastic.

[@HarborYachtTours]

I would remove the teak altogether and non skid the deck

[@AndyMatrix]

everything under 250k and 2500Nm is a great buy. This beauty is almost on that category. some fuel bladders, lower 295k price and she's ready for transatlantic adventure.

[@lynngatlin4469]

What was hours on engines

[@jandenapoli4477]

That wheel at the transom is not a dinghy line, it’s a shore tie reel.

[@HarborYachtTours]

What is a shore tie for? I was told it was for the dinghy

[@MrTonynyc57]

Please, fuel capacity and boat range

[@HarborYachtTours]

Sorry I didn’t have that but check with the broker for all the specs if it’s still available.

[@christ.8547]

😱..omg..*she's a Lady..*that's for certain..🆒💯🎯💙.

[@jerrygonsoulin2844]

Its called asea chest.. all sea water needs are easily reached for cleaning or servicing

[@HarborYachtTours]

Great setup

[@markbohart9435]

It's a sea chest.

[@NealDelettre]

No view underway? Waist of time.

[@grantpeachey6908]

have to stop watching this upset i am Yes very clean but Y did they paint the teek hoo ever owns this well .if i was a buyer i would of walked as soon as i saw the painted teak what a trageaty

[@ironichumorist]

agree. lazy owners. makes me question the rest of the maintenance.

[@sandiegowildcat]

It is not uncommon to use epoxy or LP on the teak rails. Silly to say this leads to questions about maintenance. That appears to be an exceptionally well maintained 25 year old boat!

[@ironichumorist]

i know it is common - particularly among people who do not want to spend the time or money revarnishing teak every year. so they take a shortcut. cosmetically it looks fine but it is a shortcut. hence the question about other maintenance issue that might have had a shortcut. yeah, it LOOKS great. but shortcuts. perhaps its fine. a thorough survey will tell the tale. @@sandiegowildcat

[@HarborYachtTours]

No way this owner was lazy might’ve had leaks in the deck and just thought this was the best answer probably looked decent when it was done. Just needs a fresh coat or pull off all the teeth and go nonskid. That’s what a lot of people do.

[@HarborYachtTours]

Better question is why do they put so much teak decking on boats just some trim is all you need

[@soonexrepublican7556]

Lot of water damage Looks like it semi sunk

[@HarborYachtTours]

What do you see that tells you that?
