This is one channel where I actually don't mind a little click bait. Everyone knows you're just having a bit of fun. This was another great episode, no matter the title.
Don't the pair of you ever change.... This episode had me laughing out loud !!!You're doing a brilliant job in not nice conditions and doing Sarinda proud, keep it up!!!
Every week, this is one of the highlights. This week, no different. You guys are crushing it. Boat rights. Entertainers. All around great folks. And … problem solvers! 🇨🇦
I want you two to know something! There is tons of content all over the internet. But ! I always look forward to your very next videos. Quite Entertaining you two Are and impressive Work, lovely couple also.
For a heating radiator using the coolant from your generator, that is exactly how an automotive heater/devroster works. You could probably get the controls and valves from an old truck or van and simply treat your hvac radiator as an automotive heater core.
Love this episode with some unintentionally ambiguous smuty remarks. And the inganuaty to get that engine in to place deserves a full-on medal . Happy New Year to you all regards PeterTmidWalesUK. .
One thing is for sure, when you guys ever get close to the day. You will know that ship inside and out. Congrats guys ,I’m am so proud of both of you , and I’m praying that one day soon you’ll get to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Peace.
Even if you don’t move the radiator , you can plumb in a heater core or multiple units in different locations. It only needs 5/8 hose. It will be like adding a second radiator (or more) so will also help cool.
Seriously, this is my favourite entertainment of the week. You do a 1 hour video and I feel shortchanged. You two are inspirational. Simon is very talented with a good sense of humour and a deep knowledge of physics. Gemma is so bright, hardworking funny and supportive of Simon. If anyone feels the country has difficulties I would just suggest they watch this channel which will not only give them deep sense of optimism but a seriously good giggle too. Thank you for such wonderful videos 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I do remember very well you building that generator, I think you got the engine from an old garden rotavator or something, the amount of work you put into that generator was amazing especially the water cooling system, fabricating and welding the pipe work was just genius , I your channel and always look forward to Friday for another episode to drop 👍😊
I so much love your vlogs, love what you're doing, and love you pair. your sense of humour is brilliant. I suffer with major depression, and you keep me going. Thank you. Bless both of you xxx - Elric - For a title.. Simon Slides it, and Gemma Gives It a Good Pull!
UFO kidnaps You Tubers on DIY boat! Sorry couldn’t resist! Lol! It’s my husband that was watching and now he’s got me watching. You guys are amazing! Keep up the good work! I can’t wait to see you both sail off into the sunset one day (in a good way!) love this! We’ve got the champagne waiting!
Im struggling for a catch title but to be honest ive been looking forward to seeing this generator getting installed after all the work simon put into this build and how excited you were when it worked !!
What a brilliant episode! You guys are great together. Simon’s technical ability coupled with Gemma’s practicality is lovely to watch. Moving that generator worried me but it all worked out fine. I’m renovating an old house at the moment and I wish my wife was as practical as you Gemma. You are truly worth your weight in gold❤️ What a team you both are. I love watching you making progress on Sarinda. So enjoyable to watch, love the innuendos as well, so funny😂 Loved this episode 🥰🥰🥰
Well done on reaching 100k subscribers - well deserved. Having been watching for sometime now I realised that I came in half way through and missed loads. So I went back to the beginning and watched every episode. I finally caught up tonight and am now enjoying the ‘current episode’. My only issue is now I have to wait a week each time to get my Gemma and Simon fix. You guys are really entertaining, thank you for entertaining me over the last few months. Dave Birmingham
You guys are amazing! Check with some narrowboat builders about the solar. A lot of the newer ones are being built with panels that both follow the contours of the boat and can be walked on.
Ship bedroom banter! So funny you guys crack me up. Love the show regardless of the click bate. People will just either accept this is youtube life for viewership and won’t take it personal if you use click bate
Heads up. I've tried exhaust flex pipe and the heat wrap and it didn't work out. It eventually leaked from the micro-flexing, from the vibration, at all of the seams. I eventually ended up using a rosebud torch to bend non-gavanized tubing packed with sand. The packed sand holds the tube's shape during the bending process. Or you can buy pre-bent exhaust system tube sections and weld them together.
You'll need a tee on Both sides of the current radiator to have flow for a room radiator in the saloon. I suggest using PEX plastic lines for a temporary run.
Car heaters work by running coolant through an auxiliary radiator tied into the cooling loop. Which is why if the engine is overheating on an old car you can help it a bit by putting the heat on and the ventilation on max. I think you could run the coolant line to a second radiator with a manual valve to it, and a variable speed fan.
As a Yorkshireman, I wholeheartedly approve of your tea of choice. It is my tea of choice too. Dame & Jess of Project Brupeg used flexible solar panels that can be walked on so they might be worth looking into. I can't think of a suitable title but maybe you can "generate" one.
great entertainment again you two are great fun and Simon is a very clever bloke but as daft as a brush love it when you get the giggles great work both of you.
I was watching, "Una Moto" the other day ,in the episode ,he was going through a unique geographical composition, he said ,where is itchy boots when you need her,( A geologist). I suggested he call that episode that ,he said that's a bit "icky" piggybacking on a very successful traveller ,but i said ,use what you can ,when building a channel, people will thank you as his is a great channel.
You can call it what you like. Your cast is the highlight of my Friday teatime. I've watched every episode from 001. Now you know what you're doing the acceleration of repairs are flying. Well done, fantastic x
Good Grief Yes you can, use a heater rad as well, but the way to do it is to have water to water heat exchanger, you can make them it is easy enough to do, put the heat exchanger inline with the out flow from the gen
Shame the generator broke down. So you know how many hours you have put on the EcoFlow unit? Good to see the diesel make it to the boat after watching Simon build it all those videos ago. What you could do for the winter is plumb your radiator circuit through the engine (bit like fitting a heater matrix or calorifier) so there would be no need to run the boiler whilst the generator is running. Might still need the cooling radiator but it would help use the heat as well as stop it getting too hot
Having had two generators - one raw salt water cooled, and one fresh water through a heat exchanger. I can strongly recommend you use the fresh water/heat exchanger route. As for solar panels. The ones that produce the most power are not ones you can walk on. the walkable ones have a problem, when you fix them to the deck, that means that there is no means of cooling under the panel. That has a big impact on performance,
Great to see the generator onboard and loaded up, could you use a belt tensioner that will maintain a constant tension? Then it will deal with hot and cold weather better.
Brupeg in Australia fitted walkable solar panels all over their flat surfaces. Might be good to reach out to them or check videos from a few months ago...
@doonhamer252 solar does not need direct sunlight my house solar pulls in £900 annually on average in the Midlands, you would be surprised how much battery charging on smaller systems bring in.
Well I was booking a trip on a sailing ship called the Williams, sailing out of Blyth, and whose smiley face did I spot in a few photos in their photo gallery!
It is truly a great pleasure to see your videos... 😊the professionalism but above all your sympathy and the way you deal with the problems that inevitably arise but deal with them with a smile... well done you are a splendid couple 😂
Simon fooling around with his sweetheart Jenny? I like the type of humour you show in the videos, so keep it up.. Also, a remote automatic stop from the battery-bank to the generator would be nice. And I think mounting the radiator a floor up should work, as long as you get all the air out and move the overflowbottle up with the radiator too.
Solar Installations. I have followed the Project Brupeg and they have done some extensive work with solar and Victron kit. They have also used walk-on solar panels. Another is Sailing Parlay Revival they have also done some work with solar to be able to live off grid. It sounds like you need a sparky with solar knowledge and boat installs. We have a Victron in our house for our 4k solar install and we have two arrays on the roof feeding into a Solis inverter. It's obviously different being a house but the Victron (used for our battery bank and receives power from the Solis) kit is very flexible and the Victron people are very supportive. Good luck and thanks for the video
I don't need click-bait to watch you guys. You tend to be very entertaining mixed with hard work and determination with a little bit of sauciness thrown in here and there. Your occasional adult pg-13 humor, with the laughing big smiles and Gemma slightly blushing, makes me laugh out loud! Keep up the great work.
Great work, nice to see the generator in and running power into your batteries. I’ve had many teabags and other refreshments flown in. Some even got past me and went to where they were ment to be going.
Mv Brupeg uses Bouge solar panels you can walk on check them out.i always look forward to you vlog on fridays .Well done to you both for always finding a solution to a problem 😀
Your problem solving skills are just amazing. I can’t believe you got that generator into and off the skiff. Onto the boat and into the engine room. Amazon
Hi Chaps, really love your work, inspiring and particularly enjoyable from us oldies who used to DIY! However, dont mess with sending any form of Mayday call, even for Yorkshire TEA!!! Some idiot will do it for real and then (rightly) they will have everyone and literally his dog running around with lights and horns.. Hugs..xx
Yup I agree, I love them joking around and the sense on humour...but like you say May Day and Pan Pan are emergency call signs that have to be taken seriously.
This is one channel where I actually don't mind a little click bait. Everyone knows you're just having a bit of fun. This was another great episode, no matter the title.
YES I AGREE,
"Emergency Airlift Drops Critical Supplies for Sarinda!"
That was a brilliant open.
Very entertaining! You had me at the part where the wind almost pushed Simon over the side of the dinghy holding that plywood. lol Good job.
Call it Gemma breaks some ribs 😂
Call it - It went in the hole
Gemma slips in some wood.
Gemma almost sinks the boat
Wow
Call it Simon slips it in!
Or “Simon slips in the slag”
You two have gone from working out of a shop to restoring Sarinda and now you have become entertainers. Keep it up!
Brilliant job! Working so hard and yet so in tune with each other. A Joy to watch.
Amazed me how you got that generator into the bottom of the boat and i am also impressed with Simons knowledge of engines
Don't the pair of you ever change.... This episode had me laughing out loud !!!You're doing a brilliant job in not nice conditions and doing Sarinda proud, keep it up!!!
Just watched an hour of moving a generator onboard and everything that goes with it. I'm exhausted.
Every week, this is one of the highlights. This week, no different. You guys are crushing it. Boat rights. Entertainers. All around great folks. And … problem solvers! 🇨🇦
I want you two to know something! There is tons of content all over the internet. But ! I always look forward to your very next videos. Quite Entertaining you two Are and impressive Work, lovely couple also.

We love you guys, we all going to look at your videos no matter what you call it.
" Dragging The Dirty Old Slag Around The Boat " 🤣🤣🤣.
I vote that you win!
Love this episode with some unintentionally ambiguous smuty remarks. And the inganuaty to get that engine in to place deserves a full-on medal . Happy New Year to you all regards PeterTmidWalesUK. .

That’s a loaded question 😂😂😂😂 Slipping the wood in, yet again. 😊
That generator is ingenious. I don't know how I missed those video's. Thoroughly impressed with you two as always.
Great video , strangely intriguing. Jeez you two work hard. Well done.
You can call it “ more and more frames” and I still won’t miss an episode 😂
Gemma gets Hammered.
Well done! That genset was a challenge for sure but where there is will, there is a way! Good on ya! Cheers.
Keep the catchy titles going. I makes me smile.
I cannot believe how you got that generator on board. Amazing!
It was harder than it looked!
Even if you don’t move the radiator , you can plumb in a heater core or multiple units in different locations. It only needs 5/8 hose. It will be like adding a second radiator (or more) so will also help cool.
For the generator cooling, use the holes in your windows plate and mount the radiator on the side of the boat for "temp" setup. might work
Seriously, this is my favourite entertainment of the week. You do a 1 hour video and I feel shortchanged. You two are inspirational. Simon is very talented with a good sense of humour and a deep knowledge of physics. Gemma is so bright, hardworking funny and supportive of Simon. If anyone feels the country has difficulties I would just suggest they watch this channel which will not only give them deep sense of optimism but a seriously good giggle too. Thank you for such wonderful videos 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You’ve got no poker face Simon, you could tell how genuinely pleased you were with your work when explaining the genny in the workshop.😂
Continually impressed by Gemma’s hands on approach and Simon’s ingenuity
Love the click bait!
I do remember very well you building that generator, I think you got the engine from an old garden rotavator or something, the amount of work you put into that generator was amazing especially the water cooling system, fabricating and welding the pipe work was just genius , I your channel and always look forward to Friday for another episode to drop 👍😊
I really enjoy watching you guys
It is beautiful to see them work together like this, there is love and companionship!! A hug from Uruguay!
Your ingenuity using the resources you have is priceless. What a team.
I so much love your vlogs, love what you're doing, and love you pair. your sense of humour is brilliant.
I suffer with major depression, and you keep me going. Thank you. Bless both of you xxx

For a title.. Simon Slides it, and Gemma Gives It a Good Pull!
Fabulous episode how can you not be impressed with this mad pair. Very interesting thanks.
Talkin' About My Generator.
Beam me up Gemma !
The chrome exhaust tip is the icing on the cake! Great show! Thanks for keeping it fun!
UFO kidnaps You Tubers on DIY boat! Sorry couldn’t resist! Lol! It’s my husband that was watching and now he’s got me watching. You guys are amazing! Keep up the good work! I can’t wait to see you both sail off into the sunset one day (in a good way!) love this! We’ve got the champagne waiting!
I think that I hurt my back when I was watching you move that ballast! Fantastic work...
It never stops amazing me how positive you both are. Keep up up. As always. Well done. Happy days😊
It's good to see that generator project coming to fruition. Nice work you two.
omg she's one strong lass, the jenny doing its job, bigger rad needed loved the vid.
Gemma likes teabagging 😂
😅
What a great team you guys are, that was some effort getting that generator up and into your boat ⛴️👍💪.
Im struggling for a catch title but to be honest ive been looking forward to seeing this generator getting installed after all the work simon put into this build and how excited you were when it worked !!
This is why you’re show is called Ship Happens
What a brilliant episode!
You guys are great together. Simon’s technical ability coupled with Gemma’s practicality is lovely to watch.
Moving that generator worried me but it all worked out fine.
I’m renovating an old house at the moment and I wish my wife was as practical as you Gemma. You are truly worth your weight in gold❤️

The ballast material is called pio. Palletized iron ore. It still gets shipped from our local port to steel manufacturers. Another great video!
Love the sound of the wind in the background , sounded like you were on the high seas 👍🏻
Simon gets more wood, Gemma handles the oozage.
You guys are amazing! Check with some narrowboat builders about the solar. A lot of the newer ones are being built with panels that both follow the contours of the boat and can be walked on.
Or take a look at "Project Brupeg"s solar panels
Title...no title...doesn't matter, I'm always looking for the next friday 😂😂😂

You done great. That's what I like about your vids. You always achieve your goals. Well done 👏 😊

Love your catchy titles
Love the click bait titles and the twisted since of humor. Keep up the great work
You two will always have viewers, you are both entertaining 😂😂😂
Slipping it in deep
Yes. I did with all my narrow boats and it works great.
Good Grief

Gemma is pulling Simon’s tail😂😂😂
So much respect for you two, what a gigantic job and never a sad face always smiling and fun
Re-using heat from the generator cooling system will definitely require a heat exchanger. Feed pipes will be smaller in diameter for sure.
Best episode ever!!!! Brillaint piece of ingenuity. Now for the Pyramids!
Great episode, well done indeed..
You two are working giants! You deserve a week of to celebrate your brand new hernias!
I welded a radio speaker magnet to a steel rod for picking up nails and metal shavings. It worked in the lawn also.
Brupeg in Australia fitted walkable solar panels all over their flat surfaces. Might be good to reach out to them or check videos from a few months ago...
It's uk , sun shines twice a year , if sunny 2 days running, they blame the heatwave on global warming.. :)
@@doonhamer252 2kw of solar on our boat gives us 90% of our electric and hot water needs.
@doonhamer252 solar does not need direct sunlight my house solar pulls in £900 annually on average in the Midlands, you would be surprised how much battery charging on smaller systems bring in.
Brupeg and what they used is what came to my mind too.
Well I was booking a trip on a sailing ship called the Williams, sailing out of Blyth, and whose smiley face did I spot in a few photos in their photo gallery!
It is truly a great pleasure to see your videos... 😊the professionalism but above all your sympathy and the way you deal with the problems that inevitably arise but deal with them with a smile... well done you are a splendid couple 😂
👍 really good episode. thanks guys👍.
a clean bilge is a happy bilge.
Jenny goes off her trolley, Gemma puts her in her place - with a crowbar!

Using radiator up stairs is a good idea , maybe use a booster pump to assist jenny water pump , you can get a 12v pump as used on most school buses

Your occasional adult pg-13 humor, with the laughing big smiles and Gemma slightly blushing, makes me laugh out loud! Keep up the great work.
I'm here for the puny jokes and the sense of humor. I LOVED the click bait titles and got a good giggle. OH yea, and the boat work
Amazing generator simply awesome installment , the suspence of bring it down was killing me .👍👍
You guys make hard boat work more enjoyable to watch
Great work, nice to see the generator in and running power into your batteries. I’ve had many teabags and other refreshments flown in. Some even got past me and went to where they were ment to be going.
Gemma bought a bar
