That's really cool, yeah weve heard good things. We were outrunning a few big blows coming in and saw folks mention that the dock is limited to 30' boats (due to weight) and buoy drags on heavy wind so at 20tons didn't want to risk it. We will visit it at some point for sure

We were pretty impressed at how beautiful the landscape is and lucky enough to get a sunny day as well. Yeah we thought the same, nothing but ruins now but heard there's place to rebuild something for travelers in the future which would be cool. It does have a camping feel don't even see many boats out here let alone groups of people

Yeah they actually chased us down really great folks. Definitely recommend Sheatwater nice people and real relaxing to take a pit stop. The kids were so excited to see th dolphins it was definitely a nice treat after a rough day. Yeah it was a great spot I'm sure you could fish there is so much wildlife up here, we didn't look into fishing much in Canada but we will be doing some fishing in Alaska for sure and we will be sure to record it

@@sailinguntilvalhalla 👍

Thank you! Really love hearing that!

wait until you see the upcoming episodes we found some crazy scenery farther north! The shell beach was really cool we did our best to capture it but never seen that before. We didn't even know rose had the camera but thought it was funny, we let th kids film of they want once in a while they enjoy it

Ya I know it makes us nervous too we just haven't figured out something that can go on and off easily yet but ya I know there crazy lol.

Yeah your right we know better, but figured we'd try it because another window wasn't for another week and it was a short run but that's how it goes.

Yeah these old motors don't start right up without glow plugs or cylinder preheat. I'd say that's one tough motor if it survived that! Yeah this is also an Ebro motor boat is an 83

Yeah the rockerarms do get lubed with oil but from passage ways underneath them so at idle they don't fling oil for a short time to do this but more rpm they might get messy

@@sailinguntilvalhalla Thanks. I have an SP135 in my sailboat. It's big and intimidating.

Great engine, I'd take one in a heartbeat. Only intimidating at first they are actually very user friendly engine to work on and hard to screw up

Ya we will for sure show it if we see any apparently it's a little early in the year still but it will definitely make it in a video if we do see any!

Haha thanks ya I realized we pronounced them wrong after the fact but was like whatever it is what it is haha 😄

@@sailinguntilvalhalla No worries maties, it was entertainment at its finest. That's the name of the game, right?

That makes sense never thought about it like that, we are traveling very slow so plenty of time to sight see

Good point. Also, the "inland passage" is better to do on a bus ;)

Thanks, we kept her moving that's all that matters

No problem we like to show the real stuff in between the relaxing smooth boat days. Hope it helps, good luck on your seal swap, any questions feel free to ask

@@sailinguntilvalhalla so u softened up the seal in the oven before pounding it into place?

No not the seal don't heat that just use a little motor oil or grease on the lip of the seal. You put the pulley/harmonic balancer in the oven and heat it so it expands (I go about 200°) and it'll go on by hand. If you don't it's a really tight fit so you'll need to suck it down with a big long bolt and the crank bolt its like a 1" thread which isn't easy to find for me. I've done this method tons of times you can use a rubber mallot to tap it on as well. When you remove the pulley you'll get an idea of the tension and it'll make sense

@@sailinguntilvalhalla Awesome! Thanks, brother!

Yeah good luck man

Yeah wind forecasts have been really off up here lately which is making some interesting runs. Yeah he really saved us with that tool, we couldn't thank him enough. Yeah weather gets even worse after this but we're still pushing north just trying to pick the best windows we can

Thank you, we appreciate that alot!

Yeah turns quick, this was Queen Charlotte but same temperament haha

Thanks for watching, yeah no not much company but something about having these beautiful anchorages to ourselves that's just amazing. There is alot of factors and getting them to line up in our favor with the weather can be challenging at times so we take the lesser of evil option which may or may not pay off but that's part of this life. We are excited for whats ahead and hope you enjoy it as well.

I straight up dont get the try again? I've used it to climb the masts plenty of times now

@@sailinguntilvalhalla 4' of rope and bare feet, that's a budget climb

@@sailinguntilvalhalla take nothing away from how you're doing it. I've climbed a few poles here and there. I'm not big on the gizmos

@@sailinguntilvalhalla I mean even just a 3 to 1 block and tackle... that's budget. Not a bunch of complicated climbing gear

@@Cacheola fair enough that would be the best budget way after this

Yeah we're all looking forward to it, excited to be on the move again and exploring

Exactly this is a far more simple system to run more as a maintenance system. If money was no object I'd have some fancy that woul catch more for sure, but this system and always filling with a filter funnel keeps the engine filters clean and doesnt break the bank. Figured be a good alternative for those who can't swing the big system like me haha

Glad you enjoyed it, we try and share all of our experiences on the boat good with the bad. Thanks for watching

Yeah lowest we saw was 10° outside but cabin always stays between 68-70° so we aren't roughing but burn alot of diesel through winters. Good you can now enjoy the snow without the cold. sounds like it's been a while. Yeah we planned to head to warm waters like most but this trip to Alaska is kind of a family tradition and couldnt miss out on the scenery up here before eventually getting to warmer waters. We will be spending the summer exploring SE Alaska and have some fun plans ahead!

Haven't fell yet so must not be that dangerous.

Thanks, we love it. Yes she loves a good blow and takes nasty weather like a dream! Yeah we've owned her for a few years now (living on it for 1.5yrs) and been alot of work/projects and still a ways to go but definitely a great boat to start with. Our later episodes if you check them out we have had some hurdles but getting her dialed in slowly and enjoying it as we go! Thanks for watching we enjoy sharing our experiences

In my opinion absolutely! But depends on the use I suppose for some. I can remember one time we went on a big provision run after being on hook for almost a month 5 of us dinghy full of groceries a few cans of fuel and we were about a mile from the dinghy dock and started raining hard so i hit the throttle hops right on a plane and got back to boat in no time before kids got soaked. In my experience the 9.9 may not even plane with that much weight (I've ran 9.9s and 15s in past) with one person it's straight Flys! But we rarely go out in only one person. We also figure kids are only getting bigger and some day it'll be 5 adults in the dinghy is something else we kept in mind

Thanks setup worked really well, I don't actually I bought everything off of Amazon (to keep price down) but I just looked now and don't see the one I used but there universal just pick style you want and cables that work with your outboard. Hope that helps

Glad you enjoyed it thanks for watching

Love you and miss you too!! 😊

Thanks glad it helped, tried to be thorough in explaining

That's in not sure, I would assume most 9.9/10hp and up would work but can't speak on smaller outboards. If unsure with a particular outboard you ca always call local outboard shop should be able to look up if there is "remote controls" option for the outboard

Yeah we love it! But it's a 1983 Hardin 45 one of those old tiawanese boats

Yeah hope it helps, we love our system now issues yet. Good luck on the install

@@sailinguntilvalhalla When connecting high pressure hose, did you use teflon tape?

I don't use Teflon on high pressure taper fittings as the interference fit should be the seal

You are correct a lot of pumps would add restriction when not in use. I used a "Facet" cube fuel pump. You can google them and they'll pop up, there usually good to about 150hp (my engine is only 70hp) but there a "clicker style pump" there inexpensive and reliable/simple and most important completely flow through when off. As another added bonus when I change fuel filters I always top of filter housing with fuel to avoid possibility of adding air and once new filter is in I hit the pump and it fill the housing before I put the lid on. If you have any other questions feel free ask this system has been working great since this video

Thanks for watching, we ended up using Duraglas to fill (it's a 2 part fiberglass reinforced putty) then 3 coats of Interlux epoxy barrier coat, then bottom paint. It wasn't deep enough to be into ballast so it ended up being more of a patch fill, had it been through I would have glassed it in more

@@sailinguntilvalhalla Thanks for the info, it looked like Splash Zone Repair Epoxy. It certainly was the way to go.

If I remember right I've used splash zone before but it's fairly spendy compared to this stuff so might be another alternative if your looking for something in the future it's also a 2 part process as well we will find out in the future haul outs how it held up as ill pick at it to make sure haha

@@sailinguntilvalhalla I also see that the Duraglas can be bought locally here on the Island so that is a bonus.

Yeah I've seen it at local marine stores back home, I have another can just to have on board haha

Definitely! Lol

I mean a good maintenence clean is always the best way but how often do you clean the tanks? This system is used on top of that as routine if you get crappy fuel while traveling. If we get tossed on anchor or passage run it through the polisher when we get there and it'll pickup stirred up shit as water will even mix temporarily. So are you suggesting you ran a dedicated pickup to the very bottom for you system? Guess i don't understand what you suggested alterantive is?

Me too! It's so much better for you.

They are totally solid! We've seen wind up to 45 knots on deck and they weren't going anywhere. Yeah let me see if I can get a links

amzn.to/3UkttaA here are the side black brackets

So true! :)

Thank you so much! Ya we are enjoying the dock but definitely can't wait to get back out there!

Thanks, yeah full strip jobs are much worse (done quite a few in the past) this being a scuff and paint was much better as the bottom was done well and not due yet but feel your pain there but hey builds character right? Haha

It was extremely frustrating! Definitely a spot to visit during calm times of the year but it was nice to feel like we are getting more the hang of timing these Narrows cause they are everywhere up here lol.

Thank you!

Ya the farther north the worse it gets lol

Yeah pretty wild, admittedly we had smooth run on way back through with only slight current. Trick we found is get early and wait until water visibly calms down. We thought it was "good enough" according to current charts but those should be used as guidelines. Yeah rocks come up quick here so learned yo have someone on the bow watching, one bonus is water is way clearer up here. Definitely worth it, you can always hit us up for questions if your heading up here and want specific info.

Ya we were really getting kicked around! The Video honestly doesn't do it justice.
