SSL637 ~ First SEA TRIAL of our new BETA MARINE DIESEL ENGINE!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- Thanks again for all your support in achieving this goal of replacing our engine with a brand new 85Hp Turbo Diesel engine from BETA MARINE USA!
The first sea trials went perfectly today, no problems found, and smooth as silk so we spent a couple hours chilling in the beautiful turquoise waters of Haynes Cay here in San Andres, Colombia, before returning to anchor for the first time in over a month!
Thanks again also to Lewmar for helping with our anchor winch replacement, first tests today were wildly successful! (after we remembered to turn the power switch back on!) Lol
Cheers!

the young couple are very humble. Welcome to the sailing community!
And from what Rick is showing us with the weather it may be more than they bargained for if they stay on for the storm ?
“You switched the witch off“ “I dont switch off nothing”. I love it. My partner and I have these same discussions, but only on land and definitely not about the windlass.
To see the Lady going so fast with her aft down an her bow up.. that's a strong heart in the lady... Congratulations Captain... Lil Man is getting so big, I see his teeth coming in.. grateful for the opportunity to learn from you all an just the gift that is SSL an family an friends... Thanks again for sharing your lives with us ✌🏼💗😊❣️
Thanks as always for watching Donna, and for great comments!
Absolutely awesome production!
Loving the new engine. Really loving the fact the control board doesn’t make that high pitched whining noise when you start the engine. Like fingernails on a chalkboard. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes, believe me, I am very happy for that also! 😂
I thought the exact same thing hahaha!
Love your German friends. I was stationed in Germany 🇩🇪 for 2 1/2 years. Went back in 2018 and going back next year.
Ans baby Rick big blue eyes 😇🥰....New engine sure has the torque.....Congrats on the good sea trials...Thanks Cap & Maddy and little
Ricardo.....Shoe🇺🇸
I absolutely LOVE that engine. Its the biggest Beta I've seen installed ! And the TEAM that put her in was as slick as I've seen, just no goof ups, and very attentive. Excellent team ! You've put San Andres solidly in my heart forever. I absolutely love that place. Someday I'll go there ?
Thanks, and glad you enjoyed!
It’s been a long road to get to this point. Congratulations 😎 Enjoyed watching the engine test and yes, it brought back memories.
Thank you for sharing 🙏
Yes this much is certain, thanks for your help Rick!
Happy to see you have a trustworthy engine now! Well done and congratulations🍻
Yes, now maybe we can keep up to you! 😆
Congratulations on the new “working” engine. Wishing you many more years of sailing on SV Sophisticated Lady!
Thank you very much!
Very happy to see a successful conclusion and new more reliable engine.
Thanks, us too!
Rick, A FANTASTIC video especially great choice of music, loved every minute. Also very happy for your successful engine transfer. Good job man !
Great to see you have a new engine installed and operational. Also that your little guy appears to be seaworthy again.
Yes, all good on both counts!
Smooth sailing ahead is everybody’s hope and this makes it look like your very close. Congrats.
Yep, a very big step closer! And thanks so much for your ongoing support Jeff! 🙂
That is such a sweet running engine, glad you made that choice. So happy for you that all went well. 👍👍
Thanks 👍
Rick, I don’t think anyone would be as calm as you in that extremely stressful instal! Congratulations Capt!😀🇨🇦
It's all in the moments we show.. Lol
i got a beta 38 a few years ago. its a great engine and is easy to maintenance.
Great to hear!
you go Maddie, loved at the end when you said "i didnt touch anything " lol
I don’t switch off nothing!!! Hahaha
Again, Thank You for that enjoyable time! Helps keep my sanity!
Glad to hear it!
@@SailingSophisticatedLady ; Fair Winds and Following Seas to You always!
SUGGESTION CAPT RICK, AFTER SEA TRIALS CHANGE THE ENGINE OIL. MOST IMPORTANT MAINTENANCE YOU CAN DO, CHANGE ENGINE OIL. BEAUTIFUL MOTOR, MECHANICS DID A SOLID JOB. GOOD LUCK CAPTAIN 👩✈️ IN PARADISE‼️‼️ Vinny 🇺🇸
Captain Rick
The best oil additive for your new engine
In my opinion is Prolong engine treatment. Treats the metal, not the oil.
Great for diesel engines.
Thanks for the tip!
Captain Rick, you do know that the Kabota dealers can fill the need for some of the beta parts esp. filters and belts. Could be easier to find in some of the out of the way places you may go. Be safe keep her so.
Yes absolutely, one of the reasons for our decision! :)
Awesome Capt Rick! Very very happy for you guys. What a sense of peace of mind! Another great video!
Thanks Jeff!
Wow its soooo quiet!....we need a go-fund me for waterskis for Maddi! LOL
From sunny White Rock BC, Cheers!
Glad yer Hard Work pays off…Such a Major Improvement👍 Continue to Stay Safe & Enjoy😎
Thanks!
Great sequence of the folks jumping in and swimming! Great video.
Waited so long for this. Best Wishes.
Can’t wait for more MOORE.
Yes, us also! 😂
I would not buy a boat unless I had an engineering background. You can fix anything and it’s so fun to watch.
Engine running yay
Glad 😊 the baby is doing good 👍
Yes! Thank you!
Ya gotta love it when a plan comes together smooth sailing El Capitan.
So you ran "the mile" on sea trials. Very nice. Grats my man. I remember the huts on the sand bar. Been there what... 3 years ago? Got ripped off on the very right hand one (as seen from anchorage.) That guy filled us first and charged us later. A lot. No bueno. In hindsight my bad because I actually should have known better. But boy that crystal water huh?
Aight. Keep them boilers at pressure! Godspeed!
Yes, never accept any good or service without an agreed upon rate first! :)
Even during short dip. My kid would always wear a pfd.
Sounds great Rick, I know U could do it.👍👍👍👍😁😁
It was a big test, thats for certain! 😎
Glad 2 c all well your hard work pays off wish u the best
Thanks Tony!
Cant wait for the 48v alternators to go on!
the color of the water is a beautiful aqua blue there,
My favourite colour!
If someone rebuilds your old engine I would love to know what was causing the cooling problems. I realize you are probably happy to be rid of it, but there could be some valuable information in the old engine.
out with the old and on with the new! :)
No doubt needed to be flushed with a strong anti corrosive and install a new impeller.
@@charlesharper2357 I was interested in what was chewing up the impeller blades.
@@SailingSophisticatedLady That is fine. But, if the stock market was in better shape I would buy that motor just to tear it down.
@@jimturpin6503
Sand most likely…I’m assuming he’s using raw water intake.
Which probably means the cooling jackets in the exhaust manifold were getting clogged and scaled.
nothing like the smel of new engien :D
and a freshly painted engine compartment! 😀
Looks like a good choice of power plant.
🌟mechanics ⭐
Hooray. Well done
Thanks John!
Great video!!!!👍
Thanks Teresa, for your ongoing support!
The new crew don't need to apologise, You both speak perfect english👍
,so beautiful and quiet
Welcome to the sheer hell of Captain Rick Moore's life...😆
If only you knew better the last few months.. Lol
papás tudos babados😜👍😘 o pequeno príncipe está cada vez mais lindo 😍🙏
Engine sounds and looks good. Did the doctors ever find the cause for Ricardo's serious issue?
no, he had a slight fever, but nothing more
.. Cheers.
She ( engine ) purrs. Like a kitten. Very excited for you…
Thanks Susan!
Capt. Ron,
The visible vibration looking at the engine from the front (pulley side) may very well be normal. I personally do not have ANY experience with BETA 85HP.
If you were to send a video clip of the engine running at 1500, 2000 and 2500 RPM to BETA MARINE and get their opinion if it looks OK to them would be a good peace of mind, and good to know.
I am sure they have seen that particular model run hundreds of times during their own installations. It would also help to do a video UNDER LOAD and in NEUTRAL and see what they have to say.
I am not saying there is anything wrong because I have no personal experience with that particular engine but I have plenty of experience (good and bad) LOL with others.
It sounds wonderful..
Sail in good health.
how long does it take to break in new motor?? you guys deserve the new engine , congrats!!!!
HHEEEE'S BACK!😃
Yep, and happy to be catching up!
@@SailingSophisticatedLady Always looking forward to your next videos. Fair winds, and many happy returns.
The electrical is MY responsibility and WE haven't got around to it yet🤣
Yes, ME the TEAM! 😂
@@SailingSophisticatedLady 🥰🥰🥰
Be a great feeling of security to have a reliable engine onboard. Did you replace the wet exhaust at the same time?
Ahhh. The iron genoa lives!
Yes!
Successful heart transplant 👍 Cheers 🍻. Stay salty ⚓
Captain Rick, I am wondering how the tests went with the E-motor you had mounted on the stern of SL.
Nothing like a new engine { it took me 5 minutes to think this comment up } :)
Thanks for all the thought! :)
@@SailingSophisticatedLady I was working on a comment about break-in procedure & was wondering if the head bolts need re-torquing etc. Then I was just like ehh keep it simple..lol
Smiles
Thanks!
Sir captain Rick glad the boat is good but how is the main captain little Ricardo doing now would be nice to have a little update or the little man
He is well, and we will try for an update soon!
Hi, why Beta Marine? Thanks and continue To have great sailing!!
No computers, and ease of repairing in remote locations without having to fly in a licensed service tech for computerized models that shut down any time a sensor is triggered.. Not having that BS on my engine! :)
Tell Anna to put her phone down and enjoy the breathtaking surroundings. Geez, fascination with cell phones is robbing our youth of real life. 🤦♂ Congrats on the Beta.
I agree, but that wasn't Ana, Lol
@@SailingSophisticatedLady Whoops, my mistake. 😊
I think there are going to be a lot of people switching to Beta as the need to repower rears its head.
Yes I think so also, especially once they realize the serviceability issues, or rather 'non-serviceability' of the new engines in remote locations, and by anyone other than a 'factory-certified' technician.. translation = EXPENSIVE!
@@SailingSophisticatedLady Yup, basing the engine on Kubota with their world-wide agricultural and industrial distribution was a very smart move by Beta.
White Spot Pirate went with Beta a few years ago... another great conversion. ...I shuddered when I saw the service guy working on Ran2's Volvo
I wish years of great service for Captain Rick, and crew

@@garycolemanml Don't forget "Taylor's Travels"; and in “Travels with Geordie”, Peter is renovating an old, Monk design cabin cruiser and has replaced the Perkins with a Beta so the conversion isn’t just for sail.
Not to throw any shade on you guys as I enjoy your channel immensely. But the engine is too high up on Anti Vibration Mounting pillars studs this will add to vibration and shorten mount life. Easy fix just shim under AVM’s. Great motor you will enjoy for years.
❤
Cap'n Rick... what is the length and beam of your vessel and its make and year..?? Thanks...
SL is a 1996 Jeanneau 51, 16ft beam
I’m going to miss the engine fixing episodes
Oh don't worry, there's always something that breaks! Lol
Do you have your high output alternators installed?
Shh.. coming up soon! :)
It’s amazing you were able to find a great install team out in the back of beyond! Man the weather looks bad for the next 2 weeks out there!
No…you can see it’s a bog standard low output one.
Do you mean test and break in ?
Congratulations on finally getting your new engine. Hope you had enough duct tape to attach all the hoses🤪.
Nice to see little Ricardo 😇 all well and showing off those baby teeth.
We bought extra duct tape just in case.. :)
Did you have to re prop or did you get lucky?
An often overlooked detail…important to ensure the prop suits the shaft RPM.
RICK, WHAT SPEED WAS SHE DOING AT 2500 RPMS?
❤ Germany ❤
Yes, and we will introduce them soon!
Why did you chose a Beta over other engines
No computers, and ease of repairing in remote locations without having to fly in a licensed service tech for computerized models that shut down any time a sensor is triggered.. Not having that BS on my engine! :)
Captaiin Rick Moore: "My pronoun is 'we'."
Why is there so many people on the boat for a shake down. Why is the sail up.
There should have been Rick and the mechanics from the start to the shake down. Ever heard of AirBnB. Clown show!
It was a celebration cruise with some of our good friends, and you always keep the sail up in case the motor goes out, so you have a backup means to propel the boat to a safe spot to drop the anchor.
Your motor hasa leak.
Was that a Ukrainian flag?
Onboard we have Colombian, Canadian, and Italian
Is this a Beta Marine 85T engine like the one on the new 40 foot Nordhavn? Nice!
