Bayliner Boat Restoration - Part 30

[@retodd4259]

When I first started watching your journey of this rebuild, I cringed at a couple methods used as you were working on this. But the more I watched, it came to me that it’s your first time trying to do this with no formal marine or engine rebuilding training. KUDOS to you for maybe biting off more than you could chew, and not giving up on the project. So many people would have thrown in the towel and quit. You should be proud of this accomplishment!!

[@ZachsGarage1]

Thanks Todd! I believe the best way to learn is fron mistakes 😆

[@retodd4259]

Zachs Garage who am I to judge? I was in your page because I’m starting with a 3.0 that was locked up when I got it. I’ll make some mistakes too. It’s all about learning. And what better time to do it than now!!

[@Chase_01]

Could of just waited until the right boat came along and buy one that’s water ready

Nice job restoring all the damage to the boat. Never use silicone on a boat anyplace except for sealing in the windows. It does not stick to gelcoat well at all and tends to peel off or leak. 3M 4200 is a good general purpose sealant that can be removed if necessary. 5200 is their super sealant but only use it for things you never want to remove. That sticks so good, most surfaces will be damaged by the removal process. The normal formula for these takes days to cure, so each has a fast-cure formula. I keep a tube of fast-cure 4200 and fast-cure 5200 around in case I need it. Once opened, it goes bad real quick. Seal it up and store in the refrigerator to keep it useful for a longer time. They have smaller squeeze tubes (like toothpaste tubes) for smaller jobs. I keep a couple of these around as well since I don't have to open a large tube and have it go bad if I an only sealing something small. Now that you've spent all these hours fixing the boat, will you actually spend as many hours using it? A lot of people who fix old boats wind up spending more time fixing than using and get bored with the boat once it is fixed. Don't be that guy!

Well done. " good job" as you Americans say. Looking forward to the next video. Eamonn Worcester (England)

Well done zach,I have some projects that coming soon with my boat as well and plus engine swap 1996 dodge dakota engine on a 2005 range rover hse I'm so excited to start Friday which me good luck ya'll

[@ZachsGarage1]

Thanks! Good luck!

[@croskey20101]

Hey just a heads up, someone else might have told you but you really want to have your outdrive straight up and down while filling it with new oil. Otherwise your level isn't actually correct and it could be a little low. Enjoyed the videos so far!

[@richardwells9738]

Wondering if that's the Bayliner Capri.I owned one 20' 4.3 V6 200 hp.50 mph boat planned out

[@jlowe181]

Hey those lag bolts you got at tractor supply are just regular zinc coated steel bolts,Not stainless steel,keep an eye on them. You are correct in thinking to use stainless hardware though Looking good on your project

[@phouse123]

Great Job!! I think I'm ready to Start Mine now, hopefully to be ready for the spring!! Same engine and everything!! 1989 Cuddy stay tuned to my channel

[@ZachsGarage1]

Thanks! I'll keep an eye out for your videos!

I’ve been doing mine Searay 160 but only have photos didn’t document it like Zachs Garage

@@ZachsGarage1 Hi I need help with tightening the bearing and head on the mercruiser 3.0 lx can you advise me how and how much to tighten. Thanks

[@nicpa5016]

Very nice job. Amazing constructions and maintenance. Your stern drive looks like ALPHA ONE. Is it? If you want add a12v mercathode for corrosion protection. Often lubricate the gimbal bearing and every time remove /reinstall the stern drive use grease on the splines. Keep going.

[@Airjew666]

Next time, deflate the trailer tires and maybe gain a few more inches for clearance :)

[@thatghettocowboy]

Great job. Its coming along nice.

[@scratchinforstackz2863]

The bolts from tractor supply were not stainless, they were zinc

[@Thewrightstuff777]

Great job Zach!!! So excited to see this zipping across the water! I just got my stringers set last week but haven’t uploaded it yet...

[@ZachsGarage1]

Thanks Kevin! Can't wait to see your stringers!

[@eclipser2004]

Lol. I hate gear oil. Smells like cat pee.

[@MrDubaux3]

San Antonio , whaaaat, I’m in Seguin . Great job man.

[@kamoboko86]

I reccomend buying some oil absorbing blankets to keep under the engine and power steering pump. You'll thank me later.

i guess Im pretty randomly asking but do anyone know of a good place to watch new series online?

Buenas donde comprar los asiento?

[@moehajivandi8373]

Hello- where is the best place to order the exact antifouling Bayliner paint. I have a 1994 Bayliner Capri and I am having a hard time finding the paint for it. Thank you

[@ZachsGarage1]

I don't know for anti fouling paint, I just bought gel coat paint. I found it on Amazon

[@moehajivandi8373]

@@ZachsGarage1 Thank you for your response- your boat looks awesome. Is there a paint code guide to purchase my boat's exact color?

[@andreas_____]

How much did these seats cost??

[@hazelm06]

I have the same boat, I am replacing the fuel sender. The original has 3 wires hooked up to the fuel sender. The replacement sender has a spot for only 2. What did you end up hooking up the green and white wire to on the fuel sender? see wire at 25:21/30:05 BTW the videos are awesome. I plan to reference them when I rebuild my floor next winter.

[@ZachsGarage1]

lol good question, I was wondering if anyone would notice that one dangling ;) I'll go check tomorrow, but I think I just have it grounding to the metal top of the sender

[@hazelm06]

Awesome. Looking forward to hearing. I have been trying to research it and could not find anything till this video. Haha. Thanks again.

[@ZachsGarage1]

That 3rd wore that's green is just hanging out lol

[@seanbaker1818]

I've been watching all your videos. Wanna come redo my 2052 capri with me? Same engine, same condition floor lol

[@ZachsGarage1]

🤣 Shoot me an email at [e-mail]

[@libingliang7967]

yeah this video, you put 3M 4000 all around the outside edge, now its been a while, is the caulk still good? I want to do this too.

[@ZachsGarage1]

oh yeah, it's been holding like a champ! I might make a follow up video on that :)

[@libingliang7967]

@@ZachsGarage1 yeah i will put caulk that too i dont know if my transom seals good or not, but i dont wanna remove whole transom assembly out and seal it, i think i will just simply caulk outside edge of transom assembly

[@bobclay2808]

Watching this episode I noticed the stainless piece attached to the bottom of the outdrive. Is this a repair piece? If so, did you do it and where did you get it from? I am needing one.

[@ZachsGarage1]

it is called a skeg gaurd / safe skeg. They just blot on over the old (damaged) skeg. amzn.to/3OUcKFG

[@hussainabdulla7025]

I really enjoyed all your videos and it was so awesome watching you build the boat. I just wanted to know how much it costed you to do the gel coat and overall how much it costed you to rebuild the entire boat?

[@ZachsGarage1]

around $300 for the gel coat, I got 5 gallons, and I had extra, probably only need about 3 gallons. a gallon of the hi-gloss top coat was too much as well. Probably only need about a quart of that. Overall around 5k including tools

[@nicpa5016]

Greatings from Greece!

[@philipross7569]

Great job on your boat, hope you enjoy it

[@bayliner6296]

Hey Zach, I am very impressed with your work. HI 5 on that. Is there any chance to stop by and say hi? I am in San Antonio. I buy and sell a lot of Bayliners and i can learn a lot from you. Kindly advice

[@heesanoice7637]

Great work ! Please tell me you got those chunks out of your prop blades repaired. That imbalance will jack up your out drive !!

[@strikeforcek9149]

How did you decide to use 3M 4000 vs 4200 or 5200? I'm trying to figure out which is best for my restoration on a 27' Sportcraft on the same hardware and etc as you've just installed in the video. :) Love the details and in depth process you've recorded from beginning to end, Thank you!!!!!

[@christibbits3885]

Nicely done!

[@darrenloud4067]

I’d have got a stainless bracket but amazing work

[@ZachsGarage1]

Thanks! which bracket?

[@nochance6099]

Great job!, soo glad all your hard work paid off. Well done. and THANKS for the content from UK.

[@janismilais5982]

did you make engine aligment to gimball bearring?

[@ZachsGarage1]

I checked it with the alignment tool, it lined up pretty well. Forgot to show that in the video, sorry!

[@deangoulet7508]

Nice job 👍 I start my restoration this June thanks for the inspiration

🤣🤣🤣🤣⚰⚰⚰ bubbles plastic on the couch very funny

[@deangoulet7508]

You did a great job I’m starting my boat this summer

[@eddiereeceiii4028]

Zach I have a question for you about the boat work.

[@faithwalk2cor578]

They make a rubberized coating of different colors used for tool handles. Mechanics and chefs use this for identifying their tools by color from other people. This would be great to use for your mounting brackets that have had rust on them and you have cleaned it off.

[@faithwalk2cor578]

Its called Plasti-Dip

[@mustachemotorsports7393]

I bought these same seats for my boat that I am rebuilding. How do they ride??

[@ZachsGarage1]

They ride pretty well there can be alittle bit of wobble when you loosen where it mounts to the pedestal to be able to turn freely. Other than that good in my opinion. I like being able to fold up the leg support to make more walking room

[@eagle5720]

You need a new steering wheel too

[@ZachsGarage1]

Speaking of...

[@eagle5720]

@@ZachsGarage1 I'm about to take out my engine soon n rebuild the engine stand and figure why the transom leak

[@danielbaker0625]

Should use 5200 below waterline. 4000 will work but better safe than sorry. Especially around an out drive

[@ZachsGarage1]

I agree, but only if you are confident you are not going to want to rip that out drive unit off for a long time. In my case, I use 4000 so that mine would be easier to remove if I need to

[@1865paula]

Hey Zach...I absolutely love all your videos and the beautiful work you've done on this restoration of your boat. I have a 2004 192 classic cuddy Bayliner that I'm trying to replace the back to back chairs with captain chairs. Could you please give me some advice on if it's possible to get 4 captain chairs on my 19' boat and if so, I must have missed a step on how you made the plate to attach the base of the chair to. Would really appreciate all your expert advice.

[@ZachsGarage1]

Thanks for watching! The base is just a ~3/4" ply circle with holes drilled then T-nuts from the bottom so you can really crank the bolts down without them stripping the holes

[@1865paula]

Thanks Zach!

[@markshoot2603]

Looks nice

[@leandrobrandao1535]

If you don’t mind me asking, what was the total cost of repairing the boat

[@ZachsGarage1]

About 5k, including all the tools I bought

[@georgeelliott3782]

Curious what was the purchase price of your boat? I know the knowledge base you expanded on was well worth it. Just curious if you were to do this for a profit, if the parts cost and purchase price was cheap enough you earn a profit if you sold it?

[@MrPooooopon]

Now that's what I'm talking aboat!
