My favorite & why I started the channel! Time to make some more

Well, I'm not an engineer... However these chain plates are significantly larger than those on other similar sized rigs. They made it 30 years, which is very good. We feel that replacing with the same is a good fit.

After we get it polished and punched, then we use a big hydraulic press to bend these 4, massive 1/2" thick pieces of stainless steel :)

You bet! We enjoy showing off our projects. Messing around with boats is SO much FUN!

I think it's mostly the wide angle lens on thee GoPro. We did have to come aft far enough that we could do a proper job of getting the underside of the tube glassed to the hull.

Yes, during a flotilla with goal:get you there quickly - not a lot of sailing. You can sail much more than we did. Afternoon winds are more favorable and we always leave early. However, with most of these passages prevailing winds are only favorable 50% of the time. Often most people don't wait for the winds to switch.

I agree - it hadn't been run in a VERY long time. Also, it sounds like it might have a 'miss'. We'll run it again, get it up to temp, and check injectors. We still don't have a boat to put it in, so hard to load it up and do proper testing!

Never mind. I saw it 4LH-HTE

4LH-HTE: 145 hp, big block industrial Yanmar.

It's checking out OK!! Yeah!

I have a couple of 4LH-DTE in my boat

WE are very happy with the progress!

Always tempting - amazing engines! I now caretake two of them. Have several friends with them, and am considering another one.... except too busy!!!

I think both very similar. On boats we never need high voltage DC. I prefer the 375 now only because I've learned and used this one for a number of years.

@ thank you

It's a Skookum 47' Custom. Skookum's were designed by Ed Monk Sr. and built in Port Townsend, WA. This one started as just a hull in about 1970 (last 47' to come out of the mold) and was completed by a friend of mine in Anacortes, WA I've been the current caretaker for over 15 years

@@SVCSkallywags Thanks! Will be fun to follow you guys along. :)

I like tech, and fixing things :) but the engine is completely mechanical, so very reliable

Last winter I did all the cabin upgrades, and the pilot house will get completely redone soon! I always take the summers off and go cruising, winters I do inside projects.

Sounds great

We did this with just 3 people. Students have been logging lots of hours on this project so far. This day we only had 1: Josh was down in the hole with Mark (owner), I ran the lift. I'm keeping a log of hours logged by staff, students, and volunteers. It'll be in a future video sometime.

Fluid controls x 2 - and I have spare parts. Good system. Steering is 2 completely independent systems. Traditional cable from the wheel in the cockpit to a quadrant. Then a complete, separate, hydraulic system for the inside helm, then a third system: the emergency tiller!! Rudder removed and rebuilt a few years back. Should be good to go!!

@@SVCSkallywags Very cool about all the steering systems- seems like a great feature for an expedition boat!

Hynautics have been historically reliable. Fortunately I have plenty of spares for the entire system! Although only the outside throttle is stiff and needs replacement.

Thanks for watching - lots of great projects coming out soon.

We have started planning already and will drill the locate holes next week. We want to get it glassed in before the cold weather gets happens :)

Yes, but now what will we do with it before parting it out????

Great questions! We'll be covering these in upcoming videos. :)

We are interviewing the owners this week, for two reasons: All about the boat, and then all about the expedition. Stay tuned. Obviously, one will be about the planned trip, the other about buying the boat, all the good things we don't have to do, and then all the decisions, money, and repairs we do have to do to be ready to leave May 2025. All about education! It takes us a week to two to edit and get online. Thanks for the questions, following, and being patient.

@@SVCSkallywags ..checking...

Behind you all the way… but from a distance, get er done 😍

You got this!

A you should! Some yards apply a fee that goes straight to the technician, like an extra $10/hr :)

It's just a Custom 48' by Bob - only 1 built. I've scheduled an interview this Sunday with the owners talking about the boat / expedition. It'll take a week so to get them edited and up to UA-cam - stay tuned for lots more info.

Also, Bob is on the mend and he's agreed to do an interview about the boat and design this fall. It's always fun to visit with Bob

@@SVCSkallywags ...very interesting looking ketch... kinda looks about perfect tbh.

Thanks! You're going to like this boat!

That's the plan!

Thanks! It's going to be fast and fun!!

Fun yes, and lots of work! But that's what we do. Really enjoy showing students how to fix these things.

Welcome aboard! This is the biggest thing we've been involved in!!

Love those engines!

Thanks for watching! I've been meaning to create some more, but teaching has been keeping me far too busy!

The reason for the valve is most pumps restrict the fuel flow too much. You don't want to starve the engine for fuel.

Sorry for the delay - summer - been out sailing :) We have many at school. I think the favorite is: Triplett ET200 AC Line Splitter and GFCI Outlet/Receptacle Tester with 5 Visual Indicators

Coming to MT next Friday the 27th - SO exciting!!!

It's HUGE - and we all said 'never again' on that scale. But it's for a good cause and has a great story!!

Going to be SO much fun!!! Already getting started

It just keeps getting better! Can't wait to share all the details!!

Yes, another sailboat refit - my favorite!

Welcome aboard!

Glad it was helpful! We have a BUNCH more we want to publish next year, after we get the new round of students going!

Our pleasure - we have SO much we want to share. Stay tuned, more to come. After we get the new students up and going!!!

Thanks, always something fun @ MT!!!!

Thanks for watching! It's been another AMAZING summer so far!

And I hope you are enjoying summer as well!

Bob is Great - will do another visit end of summer!!
