- Опубліковано 16 вер 2024
- Had a nightmare this week on my cruise to Chester! This video shows the order in which we tried to troubleshoot the problem, so I hope you enjoy our fault finding mission as two girls without a clue.
At the time of writing this I am still not 100% sure if the problem is with my blackstone gearbox, reduction box, bearings or prop shaft but thats the joys are owning narrowboat with a traditional Lister engine.
Thank you so much for watching. If you do enjoy these videos please subscribe as its free to do and really helps my channel grow.

I know she doesn’t like being on camera, but Jakki’s a star - and hilarious too with some of the things she comes out with 😂
I know !! She was the star of the show! She usually makes me do the filming when she not here as she hates it but she couldn’t escape this time hahaa
I have recently discovered your channel and can't stop watching! You and your friends are all amazing, thank you
Thanks for watching 😄🏴☠️
Same here
Squeeze the new in till the old slumps out, good job!
I love your play on words !
Thank you 😂🏴☠️
Nice socket set👍
Great video. Hello from Malibu, California. My grandfather was born in Nottingham UK. 1897. He left at age 18 for Tricadie, Nova Scotia. Canada and my mom is from Maine USA. Her family is from Cadillac, France originally 1723. Then 1923 Quebec, Canada. Anyway, English in my family so I thought to tune in and check out CRUISING THE CANALS in UK. I know David from another channel of Narrowboats. He was a BBC News man and Journalist who sold his home, bought a Narrowboat and checked out of London life. That takes guts or real burn out. I knew David when he had only 1000 subscribers. Today he has 230,000 subscribers and a Van and bought a new Home and sold his boat. wow! Anyway, I am sure you know David. My wife is from Milan, Italy and she has family in TRING & Sheffield. Her Niece Daria lives in Sheffield. yes, English born and raised and never left. My wife left Italy when I m,et her in Germany US Army 1974 and she became VP Warner Bros Studio works for Liam Neeson, actor. Marlowe 2023 film is our film. Now you know who we are. I really loved the video. Nice job. It takes true grit to live out on a narrowboat. I wish I could do it. I am a former 9th Infantry Division soldier but, older than you and would find it difficult, And the expense of break-downs like engine work would drive me nuts. I have a 1981 Corvette and can hardly afford that. Anyway, hello from California Stay safe. Bless you, James & Mariangela, Malibu, California 2023
Aww thank you, David is an absolute legend and that corvette sounds awesome 😄❤️🏴☠️
best laugh in ages,,,puddin in a buggy,,cracked me up.
Awww his back legs have gone ….. he loves that buggy ❤️🏴☠️
Grease points (nipples) can be elusive. I had a hidden one on my Honda motorcycle driveshaft. It definitely let me know when it was dry but until I found it, I had no idea it was even there. I had gone over my entire bike numerous times but somehow missed a nipple. I'm usually pretty good with maintenance but sometimes it happens, one gets away. lol
Hi Heidi, first may i say as an engineer listening to jak talk was knee trembling sexy,❤😂 as for yourself i think there's nothing wrong with your box, and you can't beat looking down a dark hairy hole 😮😮❤😂😂 sorry had to come back to this one, it just shows the community i have seen on the canals, I've seen yourself, and yours and other boaters friend Nikki being towed, that is community, that is friends!! How many people say they have friends, but are always busy when you
Brilliant as ever....all useful insights into boating life 😊
Fabulous vlog! Problems with power trains are regular issues with boats of all kinds (I have a 70 year old ketch ...but with a modern lump alas). You guys patiently problem solved, sought advice and emphasised the positive ...really well done. Keeping that engineering properly maintained is a great thing to do and - by the way- the Lister is a wonderful Museum piece and so worth looking after - seeing it clean and showing off its old school lines is so cool. Really enjoy your pieces and don't worry the 'dry nipple' show - imo it was was easily one of the best!
Kind regards
Thanks Steve 😃🏴☠️
i watched all the way through right to right I'll see you next time I like that kind of stuff
Thank you 😄🏴☠️
Hey that is a mans job well done!
Just stumled across your channel. I have a Blackstone gearbox & a reduction box similar to yours plus a Lister engine, but a JP2M (water cooled marine engine, rather than your air cooled engine). THe engine is 1950 so after 73 years, the odd thing needs a bit of maintenance. Still probably more reliable & longer lasting hopefully than any modern engine. It is all a learning curve. I'm definitely not a mechanic but everything on these old engines is big, robust & designed to be fixed, so you should be fine for a long time. Enjoyed your channel & so subscribing.
Thank you 😄🏴☠️
well done ,you can only try thats how we learn,,
2 girls 1 boat, nice
Sun Gazer!!! 😂😂😂
My new favourite vlog - really makes me laugh - loving all the innuendos
😂 thank you! Xx
We have followed you through every "nipple hunt" and hope you get if fixed soon.
It did, in the next video thank fully 😃🏴☠️
New subscriber here. Love your channel and will watch every video!
Aww welcome aboard David 😃🏴☠️
Next time youare in Chester try and visit a museum called sick to death. It's brilliant !! About what they used to do for disease in the old days . I took my brother he loved it !
Oh wow cool, that sound like fun 😂
Donnot leave me, we love you
😄🏴☠️
Thanks for sharin loved it
Awww thank you 😃🏴☠️
That was a good video. You girls are strong and independent…
Thank you 😄🏴☠️
You girls are amazing so glad it's all resolved and quite a lesson for sure❤
Just love the sound of your throbbing engine. The lister is amazing 👏
Aww thank you, I can’t wait to turn it off after a few hours though to hear myself think haha 😃🏴☠️
That was really interesting. And also great to see you still smiled through it all. Engines are magnificent beasts - until they aren’t. Glad you have really explored the possibilities on the way. You won’t forget that now. Good learning exercise.
Thank you .. it was a bloody nightmare 🤣🤣
Your blatant serialization of the narrow boat experience really makes my day!!
Thank you 😂🏴☠️
When testing to see if something is too hot NEVER use your finger tips> feel with the back of your fingers. A burn will be far less inconvenient. As for the grease you should keep pumping until the grease squeezing out of the bearing rims is the same color and consistency of the grease you have in the grease gun. That clears all the burnt or deteriorated grease from the bearing. In summary. Pump until grease comes out of the bearing sides and is clean grease not grubby.
Thanks Frank
This is good, it shows those contemplating life on the water that anything can go wrong. And that schoolyard humor can get you through those tough times. Love it. Cheers Heidi & Jackie!
Thanks you, we got to have a laugh haven’t we 😂
I am full of admiration at how competent you both are. Great to see.
Take care
I wouldn’t say competent 😂😂 but not afraid to give things a go 😂😂
All this innuendo and not one 'Moist' mention!!! Hope you get your box sorted soon - its great to see the real life alongside the rum and tomfoolery.
Hahahaa gutted!! I’ll try to include that word in my next vlog 😂😂🏴☠️
Yep, towing and then being towed. What goes around comes around. Being a good human being brings you good human beings. And yes, don't put that thing in gear! (said by a retired diesel mechanic who knows nothing about narrowboats). Girl/lady/woman power ... when guy boaters ask me how I handled my 1939 wood boat so well (and for 19 years) and they often said "where's your husband?", I always said "hey, the boat doesn't care about my personal plumbing!" Women are every bit as capable as men, maybe even more so, maybe more careful, more clean, more willing to work slowly and make sure the work is perfect, and LESS apt to force some critical mechanical part and make the situation worse. :-) Ok, just my tupence worth. Jakks (sp?) is a gem. wow, great bridge over the canal and walls, gosh that was stunning. Absolutely love the shot of Jakks feet in the air, I laughed out loud, yep that's what mechanics do, we are so often upside down, ha! A friend of mine carries a medical stethoscope to listen to bearings, and to individual engine pistons and such and the water pump, etc. Love your blog. I'm catching up, I am! 🙂
I often get asked ‘where is your husband’ 😂 Yes it was great having Jax / Jakki onboard as she was great at all them sort of things 😂 you sure are catching up haha, you will be up to dat before you know it 😂😂
I've just found your channel the other day as a result of the video you did on the "Cruising the Cut" channel.
I'm binge watching right now. What a fantastic, witty, informative and REALLY REALLY enjoyable channel. You're brilliant and seem like such a great person.
I'm 50/50 about moving to the UK (I'm in Ireland with no proper canal facilities) and embarking on boat life and your videos are invaluable.
Aww thank you - my friend is over in Ireland on her narrowboat at the moment - I came over and did a video on the river Shannon 😄🏴☠️
@@TheNarrowboatPirate I saw that video and really enjoyed it. Beautiful river and lots of lovely areas around it. Waterways Ireland seem to have a huge problem with liveaboards here and won't provide moorings or services which is a shame as it would be very popular with the amount of people who would live on their boats.
I have just found your channel and I think your both brilliant.
You have a new subscriber.❤
Aww thank you 😄🏴☠️
Stephen here in Canada - sounds like it may be a coupling between the prop shaft and the end of the gearbox.....at least that's a 3000 mile opinion. It might need adjusting
It’s all got fixed in the next video thankfully 😃🏴☠️
I to have been on a nipple hunt. Since my voice changed, it seems. I do hope you get sorted out, the engine that is. A pirates life is hard.
All sorted John … bloody boats 😂😂😂
I appreciate how you are lovingly all over that clunky trad, to keep her going. With you at her tiller she'll probably be chugging on for many more years. Best of luck sorting out the bearings... I hope it doesn't cost ya too much & that your back to smooth cruisin' asap! Cheers
Thank you 🥃❤️🏴☠️
This a year ago. If it ever happens again, use a squirt can with engine oil in it to one at a time, lubricate the prop shaft bearings. If one or the other quiets with oil applied, you have found the problem. Second, turn the shaft by hand if you can move it. Any play in the universal joint is suspect. UV joints are greased needle bearings. Hope it never happens again.
Thank you 😄🏴☠️
When I was growing up, we had a old tractor that I had to grease up with the grease gun all the nipples. Every time I ran the tractor, which was sometimes a weekly chore to cut the grass or use the tractor to bring down a dead tree.
Arrrgh its that delicious Lancashire Pirate lass and she has a problem !.
My my girls in the Engine room times sure have changed !
if its not all those bits that you've checked It could be you have a damaged prop ,a chipped or bent prop blade could set up vibration It could also be a stern gland /bearing prob causing vibration .BTW Lister and Blackstone were the same company, Lister took over Blackstone many moons ago. When I was at sea lots of ships had Lister powered emergency fire pumps ,they were used because they were so reliable .Take care and good luck I hope your repairs are quick and cheap .
BTW I popped a beer in your fridge XX
Thanks so much Ralph - you are a good un ❤️🏴☠️ I’ll cherish that beer 🍺 hic!
Really enjoyed watching it.
You did exactly what I would've done. You should always do the simplest fixes first, then dig into the hard stuff. I've been engineer on board quite a few boats, and I'm always trying to be aware of any strange sounds or vibrations. I can't sleep till they're fixed. Great job! Greetings from Alaska!
Thank you 😄🏴☠️
Real life boating!! It's great you include everything... Obviously all now fixed so great stuff... 👍
Thank you 😄🏴☠️❤️
Don't be sorry this is the type of stuff I and no doubt most of your subscribers like to watch, not just the pretty cruising
Thank you 😃🏴☠️
Good work, have a gr8 w/e
Thank you Geoffrey - you too 😃
When I would grease up the tractor every time I ran it I had to see the grease escape slightly from the joints know that I have put enough grease into it
Yes we did that … it came squelching out 😄
It’s a very interesting video, thank you.
Thank you … it was a pain in the ass 😂😂
Don't worry about it I love watching your vlogs it is better than watching the telly
Aww thanks love 😃🏴☠️
I drove construction earth movers and cranes of every type, we were paid an extra hour each day to fuel up, check oil level and grease the joints. The ones on the arms and buckets need it every day while the PTO shafts etc. once a week would do. If the foreman fitter found it not done, he could stop your greasing money for the whole week, now that's 6 hours half a day's extra money.
I'm surprised you didn't pick up on nuts and bolts being male and female and should not be done up without a washer.
Take care and thanks for posting.
The in and outs of living on the water are part of what’s interesting. Since there are a bunch of videos left to watch I know you figured it out.
😂😂 I had to get a man in 😂😂
@@TheNarrowboatPirate well we are a pain in the neck often but sometimes useful. My friend who sounds very much like you was a diesel mechanic for years. Last bunch of years she fixed Toyo heaters. She is my go to person for such things.
Best video to date educational and no mention of drinking.
😂😂 I’m sure there was some though!
Its important to show ALL the things that a boater has to do, for the instruction of others !.
Mind you, it may aslo be useful to make a note of ALL other boayers with Traditional engines, as a goto source of help and inspiration, ..... or symparhy, as necessary !
I'm just binge watching to catch up, hence I'm a little late in the Helping stakes !
Just think, one of these days, you'll be stripping down, and sorting out someone else's gear !
And I don't mean your natty red head-band !
Take care, stay safe !
Stu xx
Really interesting stuff. Common sense mechanics. Well done ladies. It's like a smutty carry on. Lol
Hahahaa 😂
Your a pioneer my dear! I've very much enjoyed watching your travels!!
Thank you so much!
Little tip, if you don’t have any Locktite, use a spot of nail varnish.
When a motor or hear box or whatever mechanical makes extra noise, start with checking oil level. When you took the cover off, it looked low on lube.
Also, you can get an extension line for these nipples . then you can secure the extension zerk fitting more convenient. I roll Medium and larger equipment. There is at least 200 feet of this type of tubing on my Cat950k loader along with auto greaser as well.
It all got fixed in the next video thankfully it was a bearing 😄🏴☠️
Very entertaining
Thank you 😃🏴☠️
@@TheNarrowboatPirate I use to work at the Ellesmere port boat museum some time ago for 3years
Aww fabulous 😃🏴☠️
Cruising is about repairing the boat in exotic places. 😊
😂😂
I'm familiar with quite a few variations off shaft,niple works,but putting a moringpin on your niples to see how greased up your shaft is 🤔 now there's a new one 😳🤭😁💥🎊🎉
😂😂 it’s to hear if the bearing has gone as the sound travels up the metal apparently
You pair absolutely cracked me up all of these innuendos and naughty 😈 looks!
I always wanted a boat ever since we went on a holiday on a hire boat from Autherley marina and went up to Llangollen, we had a great time plus a few wall bangers and stuck in the muds 😂 Unfortunately life and times got in the way and we’re a bit long in the tooth now 😢.
Next best thing is to follow someone who makes you laugh and does what you would love to be able to do. Subscribed and liked 💖
Off to have a binge watch 😂
Aww bless you thank you 😃🏴☠️
GEE WIZZ, I would be totally useless with anything beyond a pedal cycle. That is why I formed and ran a cycling club. Never got a car till I was 40 years old. Stopped driving when I was 84 years old. All I ever did was give it petrol and windscreen wash. You two are like magicians. You must feel quite proud. WELL DONE. 👍👍
Aww thank you 😄🏴☠️
Gee whiskers, I admire you two. This episode resonated with me. I'm stuck in a hotel room with my two small chihuahuas, it's blooming hot. Our home is on a lift at the workshop, broken. It needed repairs, and in the process the broke something else. I'm broke, having to borrow left right and centre. I cannot wait to get my home back.
Awww I hope it’s all fixed soon ❤️
WOW Heidi - you really have the mechanics of boating down to a fine art. Keep up the good work.😊😊
Thanks Lonnie 😄🏴☠️
I like all those words..
😂😂
Shaft alignment is important and many times moving box and having it come loose knocks it out of alignment
Great vlog Heidi. Two girls having a go at fixing it great stuff. Love Puddin in his pram bless him.
Thank you xx
On the Contrary
❤
Nice work sorting that out.
When you are running the boat it may help to monitor the suspect bearing for temperature. The whirring sound is friction and friction causes heat. If its a bearing that is attached to either the reduction gear or the reverse gear it might be a little warm naturally but if you notice too much heat its a problem.
Its best to be stopped when you touch the bearing, any loose clothing near a turning shaft can spell disaster,....please be careful!!
I love the Lister in the middle style of drive line and you take full advantage of it by employing the area for drying things and storage!! Good on ya!
Sail on ladies!
Ooh that’s a good tip 😃 we will try that … hoping to risk moving tomorrow 😂 wow every day is an adventure hahaaaa 😂🏴☠️
Good advice keep an eye out for bearing getting hot
Oh dear! I thought you might have to get a man in! Well tried…….up the girls!!! Hope all went well, heaven knows when I will catch up with part two happy ending. Here’s hoping.
It can’t get better than 2 girls with a pug in a pram! Bless pudding. I’m not looking forward to dirty lock jizz.
😂😂
What’s really funny about this video (it may be because I’ve had a glass of wine) but it’s like a carry on film with the double entendres! Lol love your vids please keep the coming, love’n’hugs x
Aww thanks 😃🏴☠️ glad you enjoyed it 😃🥃
Found your site a few days ago starting from the beginning so think I'm 1yr behind but luv your channel cheers 😍
Aww thanks so much for watching Paul 😄🏴☠️❤️
Well done, girls. Someone once said, why do women clamour for equality? We’ve always been better than men. Glad to have found your channel. Greetings from some random guy in Essex.
Awww thank you for taking the time to leave a lovely comment 😃😃
fantastic engine , you have one of the best . nothing wrong with your box , solid and reliable , you will always have a moist bilge because of the shaft
My bilge is usually bone dry … it’s under the back deck bit outside where the prop meets the shafts there are some drips but never in my cabin unless it’s rained when I cruise unfortunately 😂
@@TheNarrowboatPirate awesome , great to see your still about . ive about 30,000 hours as skipper , nz fishing . cant wait to get onto the canal and have a look around . we dont have this in nz
It’s great that you’re learning the maintenance items.
Always fun video.
👍👍👍👊😎
Thanks George 😃🏴☠️
Could be worn CV joint or bearing . If the CV joint is work it can sometimes cause clunking and prop shaft imbalance . Have a look at land rover CV joints give you idea what to look for and test for
It was a bearing which got fixed on the next video thankfully 😄🏴☠️
Usually bearings are a good place to start.
Yes it did have us stumped 😂
I found it quite interesting,I only fell asleep three times but after a quick rewind we were off again.☺
😂😂😂
Another great vlog Heidi Polly and I were loving the innuendos
Aww thank you 🤣🤣
Good Morning Heidi - It has been my experience that once you have identified the problem, have the proper tool(s) and apply the proper techniques, you can generally have any job licked in reasonable time - you just keep trying until you get it right. - now that you have your bearings you know which direction to go. Have a wonderful day - ta ta and ha ha. 😇😇
Thanks Lonnie - have a wonderful day too 😄🏴☠️
It’s been interesting to follow how you have been tracking down the problem and finding solutions. Hope it’s not too expensive.
Me too 😂😂 thanks for watching 😃😃🏴☠️
Looking at the slight movement on the shaft, and the slight noise when it's turning, the problem could well be with the universal joint between the long shaft and the reduction box, if it is it's a relatively easy job to change the bearing as everything to do that comes in a kit. If it does turn out to be the universal joint, the cheapest place to get the bearing kit will be from a motor factors. One thing I have learnt so far is that there is nothing quite the beautiful sound of a Lister slowly chugging away ! As for the lock, it's another of Telford's many "wonders" as there was nothing he seemed unable to overcome.
Hey Peter 😃 I’m currently at a boatyard and the bearing is on order - they know that the thrust bearing has definitely gone and are replacing that then if there is still movement they will look at the one in the reduction box too 😃 we didn’t have a clue but it’s nice to get the professionals in 😂😂 it eases the panic 😱 haha 😃🏴☠️
@@TheNarrowboatPirate Great to hear you have it sorted, taking everything into account I suppose it's just wear because of age, the same as what happens to us humans ! If you need to have a lot of work done on something that involves bearings and other parts being replaced it can often be better in the long run to get an exchange unit, especially when you are on the move all the time. Hope everything goes well with the repairs and you soon escape the marina, and get your freedom back. If all goes to plan I hope to be out there continuous cruising single handed next year, everyone I have contacted has been so helpful and I cant thank everyone enough, even with all the advice and general info everyone has shared with me the idea of running a narrowboat still seems daunting so would you mind if I ask you for advice at times please as you come across as very capable and ready to get in there, get dirty and ready to try anything so you know how to deal with the issue if it comes up again. I know a little about boats but nothing about narrowboats, engines I am fine with as I have stripped and rebuilt them in the past, and most things above the waterline I am sure I can cope with.
Great stuff, love the practical stuff and the innuendo - well done ladies!
Thank you 😄🏴☠️
She is a rock star with the locktight
She likes to get stuck in on them messy jobs 😂😂
You all are a great example of keeping humour ahead of moaning
and woe is me. You are a brilliant person. We from uk, currently we are in Ohio USA and we are about 6 months away from buying a boat and joining all you narrowboaters on the canals. We hope all works out ok, I guess having a hot box without enough lubrication is not a good thing, we hope you box cools off a bit and become slippery and moist again. 😁😉😉 C & H
Just a thought for the future, using an infrared laser thermometer, (probably available from screwfix) will allow you to identify which box is hot and grease that one more often. I am being serious, have a chat with someone who mentors you on mechanical issues and they will be able to elaborate on this point. Good luck, I hope we can find a boat with an engine such as yours. Take Care
Thank you that’s a fab idea !! I’m currently at a boat yard waiting to get it fixed 😃😃 Great news on getting a boat !! Hopefully our paths will cross one day on one of the canals and we can drink a beer to celebrate 😃🏴☠️🍺🍺
You are a very patient woman! So frustrating!
Haha I was panicking inside though - wondering how much it was gonna cost me 😂😂
@@TheNarrowboatPirate I just love it! Also.. are you a musician? I ask bc I’m a professional flautist and notice you write the music for your Vlog???
Yes, I play piano but I can’t fit one on my boat so I just have a small MIDI keyboard and use GarageBand to multitrack record as it came free on my iPad 😂😂
A flute is a far better sized instrument for a Narrowboat though 😃😂
Any time u r having a bad day look up oh you bastard it’ll lift ur spirits 😂
😂😂
Two comments.
Why was there a clanging sound when you put it in gear that diminished as rpm went up? Also notes a wear ring on the shaft as per a shiny band around the shaft?
Second, the carb on yiur generatir needs adjusting. The surging is an indicator of fuel starvation. Open ge main jet a bit until it runs smooth.
Shiny band was where the shaft was caught on a piece of ballast when it was built and readjusted …. The surging noise on the genny is when i turn on the battery charger on the boat … it just takes more power from the genny ….. it was all fixed in the next video - if you watch via the playlist they are all in order 😄🏴☠️
I thought that video was great ,I always wondered how those canal boats were powered and set up , I grew up and still live on Lake Superior and I havent seen a Lister engine for years, some of the old fishing tugs used them back in the day ,Thanx for posting it. Kool dawg by the way.
Thanks so much Ben 😄🏴☠️
Really brilliant informative video from two fantastic girls xx
Thanks Mick
I've just found your channel and it's fascinating loving watching your adventures
Aww thank you 😄🏴☠️
Was another good video Heidi. Granted not much cruising but great all the same. Tell Jax she’s a natural even though she doesn’t like being on camera.
Thank you Louise … she normally makes me film when she not around as she hates it hahaa but she was the star of the show - however when walking around Chester the other day I whipped out my camera and she refused to be filmed 😂😂 jeeze hahaa I’m working on it 😃🏴☠️
Fantastic team, you two, watched it the whole way through, loved it!! Ray.
Haha thank you 😃🏴☠️
Like your boat and your videos are good
Thanks very much 😄🏴☠️
Like your boat and your videos from glynn
😄🏴☠️❤️
@@TheNarrowboatPirate thank you for letting me join your group you make me laugh and you boat is lovely ♥️
Loved your video. When you are greasing bearings and universal joints ( the thing that looks like a cross) listen for air escaping from the rubber seals, stop greasing otherwise grease will be going everywhere.
Thanks Mike, I get it all fixed in the next video thankfully 😂🏴☠️
You ladies are bloody hilarious! So, so funny. 😂 Great vlog and hope you get your reduction box sorted now you have located the noisy bearing. 👍🏻😀
Thank you hehee 😃🏴☠️
Hello Heidi - greetings from Poland
A fabulous video. You obviously love your boat very much. After all, it's your home and your life! Congratulations to Jacks on her mechanical skills and I hope you have now sorted out the problem. with nipples/bearings/prop shaft/reduction box/gear box. I hope you are not now in a position that the cost of any repair has become prohibitive. If it has, please let your subscribers know - we will help! Stay safe please
Awww it all get sorted in the end but thanks so much Michael … boats can be a pain when they want but I absolutely adore it 😂❤️🏴☠️
Great video, it shows the reality of boat life, best of luck with the replacement bearing 😁
Thank you 😃🏴☠️
Sounds like you have a hot box (in steam engine terms) I.E dry bearing overheating .
It was my bearing :D
