THE END - SOLD | The Dufour 31 project | Episode 12 | spraying the hull after 3 years in the water
Hello dear followers,
While typing this description, it's sad, but also nice. It's nice to realize that I came this far without much experience. I've manage to buy a sailyacht, to improve a LOT and enjoy it a summer.
It's sad because my first surgery knee construction has failed (broken) and everything needed to be done again. I've just had that 2nd surgery and coming 7/8 months are going to be harder. In order to NOT step on the boat again (very tempting) I've chosen to SELL the Dufour 31.
I'm 100% sure that coming sumer there will be a smaller sailboat again, but my recovery needs to be done first. This is my main focus :)!
Enjoy the last short episode!
CIAO!

Hi Guys, Welcome to my 1978 Dufour 31 (10m) project. I have traded this for my Sturgeon 22 ft (my first sailboat). This Dufour has been neglected for several years (4?) It's insanely dirty, disassembled, and not in her best shape. In the coming months, I'm going to bring her life back.

I've did the test that I'm neutral is loose and otherwise is stuck, but when turning on and switching gears I hear clancking sounds, like it's not shifted properly and then it goes off... So I'm just guessing I need to screw it more

    An FYI for everyone facing this replacement. If you don't have a Yamaha dealer in your town, and must resort to mail order, I would avoid aftermarket impellers. There are 100 different sellers on Amazon pushing aftermarket water pump parts, and they are all of dubious reliability and durability. I've tried a few of these, and they often fail in less than an hour of run time. If you paid less than $35 for an impeller, and it doesn't say "Genuine Yamaha" on the packaging, it's probably not going to last very long. Also, when the presenter says "notch" in this video, what he means is "Woodruff Key". The "notch" is the slot in the shaft that the Woodruff key fits into.

    This looks like a strange way to do it. Typically before removing the lower unit you put the gear in reverse, then separare the linkage. Once it is separate you can put the gear in neutral using your gear shifter. That will create a gap between the upper and lower linkage. Once re-installing the lower unit again you can fully push it in place and torque the bolts before reconnecting the linkage. Use the gear shifter to put the gear in reverse and the two linkages with be brought together so you you can get the big nut onto the lower linkage. You can keep the lock nut on the linkage. The lock nut will pass through the rig when you remove the lower unit.

    I agree with the previous comment. The only thing between that sensor & the hull will be some sort of sealant. That could give way at any time leaving a bigger hole in your boat. Fill the hole with glass and then cut a new one the correct size. just sayin.

    • @jonahwhale9047
      @jonahwhale9047 9 місяців тому

      I don't think that I would have bothered patching the hole with fibreglass, especially working in winter (temp/humidity), as that would have introduced new liabilities of whether it hardened properly, taken to the old material well etc (especially if you were doing it for the first time), but I would have made a spacer to fit between the hull and the tranducer so that it couldn't move side to side. Worst case scenario, if someone had kicked it or it had been hit by some equipment, it could have been moved off centre. To patch fibreglass you've got to cut out quite a big hole on both sides & you'd have to be very confident of what you were doing, & have a stable environment to work in, i.e. had to move the boat inside a heated workshop.

    • @sailingsilverwind
      @sailingsilverwind Рік тому

      So this is a very time consuming work, you get 2 flathead screwdrivers and you get some lub like: penetration oil. (Much better than WD-40). Then you hammer with a rubber hammer on 1 sice of the screwdrivers, slight force but don't do it too hard. This proves I had to do for about 30/40 minutes. There are 2 slots where you can put the flathead screwdriver in.

    That hole is far too big for the speed sensor, you would be better to fill the hole, re-glass it inside and out, and then cut a new hole for the sensor. or you may find it leaks when you least want it to, Just saying better to be safe than sorry.
