Mark, please go ahead and do the ads and open yourself up to sponsors. We really don’t mind you having the added revenue streams and watching the ads and hearing you do sponsor reviews is one of the few ways those of us who cannot be a patron can still help support you. With your followers and viewer counts, you could easily get free engines, equipment, marine paint, fiberglass products, etc. Andy even got a free electric bike. You can always change your mind later when you don’t need the money. Reach out to Mads, Matt from Duracell and Andy to get advice on which products to accept.
Totally agree. Nothing wrong with that (except when it all becomes a commercial)
-> People: I think we should all give Mark some time & space to recover from working 2 fulltime jobs (1.dealing with a huge project/2. documenting and uploading video's every week) away from family in a foreign country. For now let's just assume that he'll be back when he's feeling ready again. We're all only human after all.
-> Mark: I am very much looking forward to more episodes in the future, and am confident you'll get back to it once you've sorted things. I also hope you enjoy the holiday period with your family! Thanks for all the great content you have been providing up till now :)
Heads up you absolutely need spacers inside those square tubing or it will eventually loosen up, but with spacers you shouldn't have to worry.
I was thinking that to, hope He gets those in. But overall It looks good
Nylon spacers?
@johnmead1337 no they would eventually crush. Metal tubing is best.
I thought some time ago on his first build, he said he was making spacers.
Buy a simple drill press. You’ll wonder why you didn’t get one sooner.
Get some 1mm thick cutting disks, will cut like butter 👍 Top work as always Mark 😊
Hi Mark, I have been watching your videos for ages and honestly think you are doing a fantastic job.
I was taught years back when cutting threaded bolts, bars etc to hold the bar up on roughly a 45 degree angle and rotate it against a grinding surface so it essentially grinds the material downwards and off the end of the rod if that makes sense. I haven't had to use a die since to get the thread to run again.
Same here, works every time! Greatly advice👍
if using an angle grinder to cut things, you should use a cutting disk/cutting wheel/cut-off wheel, they are made for that and aren't that expensive. If you're going to be using it to cut a lot of metal, it's definitely worth it.
I was gonna say this but you have it covered.
Yeah, I saw this at 11:24 and thought , that's a grinding disc not a cutting disc. Btw mark the cutting discs are about 1.2mm thick and will go through that bar like butter.
You're a lucky boy that Echoflow is sponsoring you!! Though all their stuff is excellent, it is way beyond my cruising budget!! Good luck to you
You need to use a cutting wheel to cut the all thread rod. You have a grinding wheel on there now. That’s why it’s burning so much
Don't worry about the work rate for the videos man! YOU ARE THE CONTENT!!! Your attitude and storytelling are what fuel the thing. Just keep on going, you'll be in the tropics before you know it.
Great episode Mark ! The Dutch are so so nice !!! My brother AND I spent months over there on our gap year post University ...he worked in a fish factory in Katwijk and I worked for a dried flowers factory in Rijnsburg ...great memories AND such lovely people !!! Keep going mate !!! Good progress being made A👍
Moan away Mark! The only folk who can complain are the ones who have spent every day of the last week outside in freezing rain or 10 deg below, and by themselves! You are doing fantastically well and I love watching from my lovely warm flat in Xiamen!
Great progress now, you cen see the concept of your cockpit coming together. Really enjoying the series..!! The bolt through the square tubing still worries me. You've got the spacer tube over the threaded bar, but it is still clamping on the inner wall of the square tube. If you consider the forces on that area, it might squash the square tube section, even a little bit, and always be coming loose. The round spacer tube should go through an enlarged hole on the inner wall of the square tube and clamp the outer wall of the square tube with the nut and washer. That way, it won't squash the square section and will always stay tight. Even more important now that the cockpit is hanging from it, too, and loading more forces on the threaded bar and square tube joints. Sorry, it's hard to explain without waving my hands in the air.... ha ha ha. (if you could see me typing and waving hands too, you'd have a laugh...!!
Have you considered welding the stainless tubes together?
Another great episode, thanks Mark.
Grant, Adelaide, South Australia.
You are using a grinding blade to cut. You need a thinner cutting blade. That blade is trying to take out too much material.
Well done, Mark, I don't miss an episode. The Ecoflow stuff looks great, something I could never afford. I laughed when you were using the spirit level, with the thought "Yeah, if the boat's level". The Brass Monkey weather is back, and I wish you a lovely Christmas with your folks, and a New Year that brings you to your globe sailing dreams. Good luck. I've just put up a little video on my channel about my experiments with a drill-powered outboard for my tender. That'll be a good laugh for you!
Mark, have you thought through that what the engines need to drive is actually the source of resistance, which are the hulls? You have massively reinforced areas where the beams intersect the hulls, and just below those points would be an ideal attachment point for whatever carries the motors. You could make everything out of wood, You can see the idea from how Brupeg's wings are attached. Building short wings that would rotate down between the hulls, and then up to put the engines horizontal when raised would be a much easier way to manage the removal and installation of the outboards and the drive trains.
The problem with the beams are obvious: they're too high: you don't want force applied that high.
You could, by not mounting the engines at the same point fore and aft, but having one in the front, and the other iin the extreme rear, create a vectorable thrust, sort of a poor man's bow and stern thruster. What you're doing with bolts and steel needs to be welded: too much concentration of large forces on small areas, and single points of failure throughout.
How about this idea: put together parallelogram-type frames, fixed as you said to the hulls, with a swiveling stay rod attached diagonally to take the thrust. They'd lift the O/Bs in the correct thrust position that way, no risk of upsetting the carbs etc. Easy for maintenance. I would also have a permanent crank handle arrangement to bring those motors up. Electric lift would be a bit too luxurious for me. But surely no need for asymmetric positioning? One motor in reverse would crank the Wharram round easy enough IMO.
That lifeboat looks amazing would love to see more of that build if possible
Thanks man! Nice to know there is some interest on it! (its me building it btw)
A little break and you'll be back at it again. Everything is looking good. Steady progress is better than going fast and taking short cuts. You will be rewarded when your work is completed. You'll have a strong and dependable boat ⛵. Hope you have a Merry Christmas with your family. ⛄ 🦌🎄
Those ecoflow units looked like a nice bit of kit!
The ecoflow is a fire hazard
Thinks are coming along nicely.
Mark, there is a handy little drill attachment for cleaning the treads quickly. Look for an “external deburring/chamfering tool”. It’s a cone shaped device that quickly cleans the end of the rod/bolt and usually leaves the thread in great shape. Normally about $10 or so.
That condensate water is essentially distilled water and could be used for drinking. Best of luck with your refit. You are getting better and better at all crafts. Keep up your good work.
Hey Mark, great to see that you're plodding along with the engine pods on Wildling Sailing! You're doing an amazing job, and it's awesome that Echoflow is sponsoring you. Their gear may be a bit out of budget for some of us, but it's definitely top-notch quality. Keep up the good work! And thanks for the helpful tip about cutting threaded bolts, I'll keep that in mind. Remember, steady progress is key, and it's better to take your time and do things right rather than rushing through. Safe sailing! ⛵️🌊
For a work area shelter why not use your mast(s) to hoist either tarps or canvas to protect your work area and deck hatches to keep as much moisture out as you can?
It takes as long as it takes. I’m enjoying the process as well as looking forward to seeing you start cruising. Have a wonderful Christmas back home in old England 🏴 🎄
Do not throw away sublimated food from lifeboat. Open a few of them put in mixer with cacao powder and make outstanding cookies in owen... we always do that.
You're telling me that overpriced thing is only 1,000 watt hours that's less than one 12 volt 100 amp hour deep cycle battery which you can get for relatively cheap paired with a small or large inverter I think DIY would be the way to go for most people if they're looking for an affordable option because then you could really customize and pick the components that better suit your needs
_FOR SURE!_
Sailing in your future (no shore power) Diesle heaters work out to be the most cost effective to use and buy and work correctly without opening windows for huge tubes. Just a simple small hole exhaust 😃🙏
Sat by my Eberspacher _right now!_
Cosy 18deg's / minus 4. outside!!
@@dancarter482 Agree. They are also more eco friendly than electricity run heaters. Cheaper overall per kWh. Smaller to store and fully working off grid sailing the world. I had the same heating on my trader 39 😃🙏
Great lifeboat. I would like to see the progress and result.
Yeah. And what sise the boat is. Length hight with. Looked to be roomy
@@pernielsen9812Yes it is 12mx4.35m. Thanks for the interest! Mark pushed me to make a clip :-). Cool to see some people find some interest in it!
❓️ a SPIRIT LEVEL on a 🚢 🚣♂️ 🛥 🛶 ⛵️ in the water❓️ Sure 😮... can you stand over there ? Ah, just a little more. 😊😂😂😂
Saw this and thought of you. TBH, my wife was watching it, not me!
Midsomer Murders, Season 9, Ep 4, "Down Among the Dead Men". White Wharram Catamaran with deck housing. May be towards the end of the episode.
Might give you some ideas. 🤔
Merry Christmas, Mat
OMFG!!! Using a grinding disc (@11:12) to cut stainless steel bars, no wonder you burn up the bar. Maybe you need to do some Google research on what disc to use for different material, as always you just wing it instead of learning the different between cutting and grinding before making a fool of your self.
Thinking back to when you were looking at boat's and this was the one you brought! I thought you was mad. You are doing such a great job. So looking forward to seeing her under sail.
Yes mark ..it's that time good buddy..! shut up shop and have a well deserved break ... Rest and mom's cooking🥳 and some liquid refreshment 🍻🍻🍻.. Christmas 🎄 is soon upon us ...not a time or weather to be boat building ..but a time to relax .. you mentioned that they do good kebabs over there so get yourself down there and get a nice turkey 🦃 kebab in naan 🫓 ..with fresh tomato and onion pickled chillies and mint yoghurt and chilli sauce ..! With chips too and a few locals beers 🍻🍻 🥳🤣 ..merry Christmas when it comes buddy if we don't get another vlog ..ps get a hair cut before mom comes over 🤣👍🇬🇧✌️💯
Soooo, THE points which will be must under stress will be the pivoting points of the engine 'buckets'. Those bolts will have to transfer ALL the engine forces (forward, reverse!!) to the boat.
Are the holes reinforced?
If you can grab some of the rations from the life boat for your boat. It is good for over 20 years and can come in handy in a pinch. One thing you never hear is having to much emergency food/water on a boat.
I've seen boats that have "Outboard " motors located in enclosed compartments at the back of the hulls - with a hatch over the top. I've even seen this done in a 27 foot monohull. Super easy, close to waterline depth, so you just need a bit of build up for that depth and the motor mounts...
Those existing mounting systems look "fragile" & exposed...and not looking nice estheticly.👍😶
I am so happy that you got the Ecoflow airconditioner that improved your life on the Mahi. Coincidentally I was looking for a mobile airconditioner for my boat, so I really liked the review too! Very happy to see you in a good mood. We are all rooting for you, standing with you, you are doing great! 😊
Nice video again! That angle grinder needs to have cutting disk (2mm disk is best allrounder, 1mm can be bit tricky) not grinding one :)
Yeah, stop moaning and just carry on doing what you're doing. We love it. It's much better than telly.
What a timing for that Ecoflow.. It's starting to get cold in the Netherlands 🥶.
Stay warm..
Hi bro, some of these comments are giving you a had time, I don't think they understand how well warrams sail and how little you need a motor. Get a warram balanced and it will practically sail itself.
Keep slogging on, it will happen bro.
Cheers from NZ
Much though I love the concept behind the Wharram cats, that beam-in-trough design is pretty shitty! Just asking for rot!
EcoFlow products are absolutely great they are expensive but you get what you pay for.
Just keep doing your thing Mark, you got to live a little! Life can’t always revolve around the boat, enjoy time with your parents! Your refit will get done, its a process buddy. Your doing a good, keep up the good work✌️✌️✌️✌️
You're doing a fantastic job But the Weather is awful So go Home n Recouperate n Start Again .😊 🎉
Bifacial solar panel collect power from BOTH sides. So, Any light hitting the bottom also ads power to the power output of the panel.
I have an emergency portable AC\heater unit for use when there are power outages. I did quite a bit of research before purchasing and went with a 2 hose system. The disadvantage of leaving the intake inside the boat instead of in the window is that by sucking air from inside the boat and discharging it outside the boat, you are creating lower pressure inside the boat than outside and you end up causing humid and cold air from outside to be suck inside reducing both the effectiveness of the de-humidification and the heating\cooling.
No way… BP Harding 😂 I used to work on there (offshore NE Scotland)
🎉Cheers!! Your doing great bro, your living the life, gaining wisdom everyday. Proud of you from Denver Colorado! Keep up the great work!
You were cutting with sanding disc, not cutting disc. That is why it went so bad. Cutting disc is about 1 mm thick.
I think you need to use both the ventilation tubes through the external holes for optimum efficiency. (Just like you have them). That way you are not introducing air into the hull. Just heating or cooling the air already there.
Your reinforcing bars would be much stronger if arranged diagonally. As I said in a previous comment, diagonals make triangles. And triangular structures are stronger and flex less than rectangles. Even small fillets at 45 degrees in the corners would add stability (making a mini triangle).
Also as it is configured right now everything can slide sideways in unison... a diagonal would solve this...
Hi Mark I'm sorry to see that you have given up on this daunting project.
Every journey starts with a single step. Just keep going. Worlds your oyster.
Would= nt it be easier and safer start from scratch and build yourself a whole new ship?
When it's cold and wet, as it is now, I don't envy you going out and working hard. I WILL envy you when it's all done and you sail off into the sunset.
Bon courage...😊
you might want to look for a used bench top drill press. it should be really cheap and you can sell it when all your holes are done. it will help and, your holes will be straight, plus it will make it so you only meassure, mark, and punch once per hole. also the nut on the threaded rod is much easier than everything else youre doing put two nuts on and slap them to spin them, it wont take long until you get the, where you need them on each end.
Gad, if I got half as many free goodies as UA-camrs I’d start a shop
Use thin 1mm cutting disc to cut thread bar and deburr end holding angle grinder at 45° and rotating all thread in to grinding disc side. Try high quality discs, like 3M cubitron, they tend to cut better.
There are specific inox discs to cut stainless btw.
Haven’t read the other comments but you need a cutting disc for the grinder…
Your posts are getting more and more hard to watch. I feel you will die out there on the ocean with your cutting of corners
I have never experienced corrosion of my ss threaded rods or anything else after heating it.
Nothing wrong with being a boat fanatic 👍🤪. Loving the transformation as always, KEEP GOING! Cheers from England.
I love Nederland too ! I am glad you are finding the same thing. Yeah.. and that EcoFlow stuff looks really good for marine use. Later you will find better ways to install it for Wharram climate control.
Hope ur getting on ok buddy ,you haven't posted for ages
The fuel line connectors have O rings which sometimes split or are gouged. It allows air to be sucked in and prevent pressurising the fuel system. Sometimes one way valves in the primer bulb come apart and causes fuel to go back and forth.
Keep going Mark you are an inspiration to take on this project on your own. You will know your boat very well. John, Australia
Nice work brother, your one of the only ones I don't mind watching all the ads for! Feeling for ya enduring a European winter, stick with it mate, greetings from down under!
Lembas bread. And look: MORE lembas bread
You are almost there with the threaded rod cutting. So after the cut on the mounted grinder chamfer the end about 45°. Then clean with the thread cutter and it will be more than perfect until you got yourself a lathe... :) In lidl also there is a drill press stand about 20€ where you can mount your drill... Good job, keep it up!
I have a couple yamaha 9.9 high thrust motors sor sale... in carribean, so if you keep your old ones for a while and came to carribean we arrange it :)
Maybe grab a bunch of those nutri-blocks and water botles...handy things for your ditch bag.
Oh it's just so painful to watch! If you're drilling that many holes then mount your drill in a press stand, clamp it to the Workmate then make a drilling jig!! No measuring, no marking out, no centre punching, just perfect drilling every time!
Yeah, sure, one of the most useful tools onboard a floating boat is a spirit level.....
I was deck officer on a ship in the mid 1980s which had lifeboats like that but also with telescopic masts and sails!
I can’t believe rope is how that thing is held together
Next time use a cutoff wheel for threaded rods. What you’re using isn’t the right blade. I just did this and it takes about 5 secs for me to cut a 1/2” bolt.
Drilling,grinding, stainless will render it back to mild steel , if you have to never use a second disc or saw ie stainless disc stainless drill 😊
Hmm dutch grass on a boat!! I'd be carefull sailing with that. ...😉
Haha...love it!!😂😂😊
A set of temporary (can be non s/s) wingnuts is useful during any repeated assembly/dissasembly process like this particularly where you are going to finally use nylocs .
I thought you were about to use the angle grinder to cut the biscuit!
As a suggestion, buy a drill sharpener! You'll save hundreds on buying replacement drills.
hey plodding along is still movement in the right direction. Keep at it Mark she will be great once done. 2x👍 so 159 people watching you do a 💩 No thanks 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Progress doesn’t have a speed setting. Keep up the great work mate, she’s going to look beautiful.💪💪
Great progress 👍🏼 you are getting there.
The weather is not getting any better, i am sorry. Welcome to The Netherlands! Around march it will start to get better. Untill then, it will be a lot of what you are having now.
So a great time to get a break 😉
But i hope you will continue.
Have fun anyway 👊
Your commitment to the grind is impressive and great to see.
Hey mark im glad your old videos are back up i enjoyed them so much
Your m8 Bas done good, if I remember right a bloke in England has already done one for his 5 person family. Not overly brilliantly, sometimes, night, weekends and public holidays. A 5 year project Would look forward to seeing Bas and his project. Tickled your beams are pretty solid too. Nice food, it says don't drink water for [?] guessing they banned alcohol too? Doin well Mark, keep up the good work. Ye Olde saying 'Slow and steady wins the race' You get there bloke!
Thanks for posting and sharing. So glad to hear that the heater is helping you have dry boots and clothes, plus keeping you warm at night. Best wishes. Happy Holidays to you and yours.
if ever get sick of boating, I recommend you start your own cleaning business. Also enjoying the music
Mark. You are doing great. We all realize this was a project when we tuned in. Your doing great
Where are you? Everything oké ?
Your Music is way better than in the past.
I have a Dutch friend with a boat.
You obviously have your die but you can also get a cone shaped carbide cutter that you can put in your drill and it will clean up the end of a cut rod in 10 seconds. Good if you have a lot to do and can clean up all kinds if cutting crimes 😊
Also works for a wide range of rod diameters and natching thread pitch is obviously not an issue
controlling the damp makes a huge difference on a boat, but the heats nice too
Hi M. G;ad you mentioned the 'Chainplates' - I have been worrying about them. Wow, what progress - now we are getting somewhere, and seeing into the future after all that hard work. All the best for Christmas to you and the family.
Your doing a really great job on the boat and creating great content.
After a Friday from hell I only got to see your video tonight but it never fails not to cheer me up. Thank you Mark 😊
I say it every week, but this is one of my fav videos so far Mark!! Interesting, entertaining & you actually made me LOL lots😂...Get lots of jobs ready for us,,,we're raring to go!!! PS...Looooove the Fr Christmas & fairy lights!! See you sooooon🤗🤗🤗
Try melting some candle wax on the threads! It will help keep the moisture from the threads. Not quite sure it will stay in place in the tropics though. But in the Northern Hemisphere it could be useful! Good luck with all of your projects!
Loved the bonus lifeboat content!
Looking forward to seeing your parents again. Best of luck, you’re doing great.
Use the side of the death wheel to knock the burr off the ends of the all thread. Also since those motors are going to create a lot of stress on your tubing, you will want to fortify them with a piece of pipe inside the tubing to prevent the nuts from from crushing the tubes. This should be done at all of the points where there are bolts on both sides of the tubing.
