I'm the kid in the video! Thanks So much for putting me in it! I enjoyed meeting you guys, it made my summer! Hope to see you again in Beaufort!
+Logan Parker awesome man! Thanks for coming to say hi! Not sure what our plans are but shoot us a message if you see us heading your way again
Chupalaaa
Huge respect for your toneassity and perseverance regarding the repairs, not to mention you two are probably the most deticateted employees I've ever seen. Whoever your employer is up north I hope they see how lucky they are to have employed such deticateted workers......Fair sky's and following sea's Skipper,first mate and of course jetty
Consider yourself fortunate, you have a good partner and a cute dog. Good Luck!!
..or a cute partner and a good dog.
Sorry to hear about your breakdown in Port Royal Sound. I feel for you guys. You are so talented to be able to make the repairs yourself. Your attitude is unbelievable. Kudos to you both. You WILL make it to LI. You are making the most of it and you will have the memories forever. Don't forget to look for the Adventures In Fishing t-shirt at the Coinjock marina. Remember sometimes day markers & bouys can be missing so stay in the middle of the channels and always look at the depths on the charts. We found that out with a hard grounding on a friend's boat in 2001 in Morehead City, NC. Keep the videos coming & safe cruising.
Sierra has the best attitude ever! You and Jetty, too! First chance I got, I'd have that shaft pulled and checked. It may be bent. Hopefully, it's just an alignment issue. Enjoying your videos immensely.
Good luck & hopefully you guys will have smooth sailing from here on out. The bright side is that you've chronicled all of this so your job can see everything you've been through getting up there. Safe travels
Billy, thanks so much for your positive influence. I've noticed I have started looking at things with a better attitude. Live and love life!
I really enjoy watching your journey. Love your can do attitude. Love the dog too. Good luck on getting your transmission going again.
Billy your going to be a good boat mechanic before you get up there,keep on keeping on
Boats will break. Good thing you're in a boat building area. Stay the course. Try to stay positive and enjoy every day, even the ones where you're temporarily stuck and making repairs. It's a beautiful place to be stuck with boat trouble. Happy to see you're on the move again. You'll get it fixed soon enough. Give Jetty a pat for me. Luck guys!
it's basically a clutch plate make sure you use an alignment tool to make sure it's centered or you'll eat that one up too...
Does he have a alignment tool?????? There must be someone in the area that could come out and help him install that clutch plate so it is installed correct.
Come on boating people in the area help these two out.
They need a new Trans and someone to install it with a warranty.
Big O's Garage i
You can use your fingers and align it fine. IF you know how it's supposed to feel. (at least with clutch plates I have done 100s successfully this way)
Big O's Garage band
A clutch plate on a car needs to be aligned to facilitate the insertion of the transmission shaft through the clutch plate and into the pilot bearing/bushing. On this application, the drive plate and its splined hub is a single piece. The bolt holes in the plate will allow little 'play' to need alignment. The splined hub in the plate will be centered so that the transmission can be inserted. The transmission has only a stub of a shaft. It doesn't extend much beyond the drive plate. I do not believe that there is a pilot bearing.
Thanks for the update, was getting worried, hadn't heard from you. Stay positive.
praying you guys get the boat fixed and get to your destination on schedule, planning on a cruise up the ICW soon, have a safe a wonderful trip!!
Your video brought back so many memories of the repairs I had to figure out while I was living on my 30' S2 sloop. It's ALWAYS something!!!
The breakdowns suck... But the good news is that you two are inspiring people! TODAY I put a deposit on a 1985 Catalina 27 with inboard diesel. This is going to be my liveaboard / learner for the next 18 months or so while I save up for the money down on a Catalina 380 liveaboard. A brand new chapter/adventure in my life at 47 years of age. You guys, the Wynns and La Vagabonde are my sole inspiration. I just wish I'd have started 10 years ago. But nonetheless, as of September I will have sold most of my possessions, be rent free and starting a new chapter of my life. So thanks for that, I think!! :)
Ed Kelly I'll look for that manual, thanks.
You guys are doing what most of us wish had done. I admire you both and pray you stay save. Be blessed guys.
so sorry to hear about your troubles. I have a '79 trawler with twin Ford Lehman's, I'm a fanatic about maintenance but never considered the health of my dampening plates. Your misfortune is now having me consider replacing them as I'm sure they're original. Glad you were able to find a replacement!
It's AWESOME to see your 1st mate getting more involved in the Videos! Just makes your already AWESOME videos even more AWESOME!! WoW that's Alot of AWESOMENESS !!! Thanx 4 sharing. ;~))
Billy & Sierra,
I'm not sure if you fully realize it yet, but I think you've created one of the best channels on UA-cam. In the past month, the number of subscribers to your channel has doubled. Congratulations, and all the best to you!
Sierra, you have such great attitude, heart, and smile.
Each night when I put my 3 year old son down to sleep we watch the most current video you guys post. He says "Daddy can we watch The Boat Movie?" Thank you for doing what you guys do. I'll will be supporting you guys monetarily soon. Again thank you.
Too bad you had all the problems with your transmission, I guess that's the life of person who spends this much time on the saltwater.
The only good side is that everytime you break-down you learn the fix. You should be commended for the tenacity you both possess in handling these issues. You both seem to keep your sense of humor during the tough times!
"Fair winds and following seas" from NJ.
inspect your flywheel when you take that clutch plate off and because the last one that you broke it look like the Springs might have gouged the flywheel if it has you're going to tear up another clutch, until you take that flywheel off and have it resurfaced. you also have to make sure that you have adjusted properly for enough slippage. good luck guys
Best of luck, stay positive and have fun.
I have to RESTRESS what Big O's Garage below just wrote, make sure you align that plate well! We lived for over a year in Port Royal Marina, hope you enjoy Beaufort, as short lived as it is. Best of luck in your travels, keep us posted.
This happed to me once, I went to pull into a gas dock, and I could not get the boat out of forward. fortunately, and this never happens, the wind was blowing in the right direction and pushed us over to the dock. Good luck and be safe!
Good luck, Hope it works. Billy you are an inspiration to do it yourselfers. Much respect to you!
I had a 1966 Mercedes with a timing chain that broke so many times I had a spare that I actually replaced on the side of the road one time! You'll be able to rebuild your tranny and engine before the anchor gets set soon! Keep up the great spirit and maybe Jetty has some words of wisdom on her channel...
Hate hearing your broke down again. Stay positive
I was just down the way at Fripp Island. Good luck on your journey.
thats sucks. you guys can't catch a break. no pun intended. but you both stay pretty positive. i would be throwing shit and cursing like a sailor
same here, boat would have holes
Anxiously awaiting more segments!
That looks like a clutch plate from my 1967 GTO... Good luck on the repair..!!
Loving how positive y'all stay
Billy! Tom Barry, Dad to Patrick and Kait! Friend of the Cornell's for many a year. I just bought my first boat, O'Day 23. Found your youtube channel as I'm educating myself on sailing. Inspirational, you and your first mate are! Tell Ryan and the boys I said hi. Keep the post coming
Kind of figured something may have broken down on the boat not see current blogs on your trip north. Looks like you are getting thing back under control. Stay positive and good luck.
Keep pushing through! Love the videos.. cheers guys!
well..on the up side... at least your in a wonderful place to be stuck! I love that part of SC! So close to HHi! :) Hope you guys get it figured out! God Bless.
stay positive and keep moving forward. you guys rock
best of luck y'all!!!! sending good vibes your way!!
Just got back from the Bahamas,had to leave early ,because we were taking on water ,had to bullied every hour , I feel your pain ! Love Beaufort we go crabbing and shrimping every year ,, good luck to Ny
I was born there in 1958, never been back. Thanks for this!
We are liveaboards at Ladys Island marina. Taking off after hurricane season. Hope to see you out there.
FYI: It is named Ladys Island because one of the English Lords gave it his wife as a present. Thus it was call The Lady's Island, and shortened to just Lady's Island over time.
Your videos have inspired me to try to talk my wife into living on a trawler for a while. We're from FL and I've spent most of my life around boats....even sold them at one point, so now I just need to talk her into it 😀. If you're ever around Williamsburg, VA let me know. Would love to talk to you about your adventures and buy you guys a meal.
you guys are so awesome so glade found your channel! keep up the great videos you 3!
Beaufort! love that town. Plan on living there before I pass.
It is so Nice!
OMG May the rest of your journey be with No Problems!!!
Hope by now you are on your way. Sorry you guys are in kind of a hurry. Lots of fun stuff to see where you are traveling through. Need anything, I'm in Charleston.
Make sure you're not low on ATF and get rid of the paragon and replace it with a velvet drive.
I sure enjoy following along. I have put together just two or three boat trans, so I'm not an expert - but I would sure recommend getting an expert to take a look at your boat. I think it would be worth some money, just so it all gets lined up properly and you don't have recurring problems. My two cents - thanks for recording, editing and your adventures.
Give us a heads up next time you come through the ICW Beaufort SC to St Catherine's Sound GA. That's our water. Our family would love to meet you. We'd love to put some our grass-fed beef in your cooler. We paddle, play, and hang out on all the coastal islands here.
Good luck guys..... stay tough.... I know you can do it !!!!!
My mom grew up there! We go there every summer. Absolutely beautiful!
It is such a cool spot! Hopefully we get to stop there again soon someday!
Downtown Beaufort is gorgeous !! I live there for a while and now I am in summerville S.C
So sorry you're down again but I've faith in your abilities, talents, and ingenuity. May the wind be at your back, dolphins 🐬 leading you, and angels on your shoulders. Wonder which bridge is most economical has least problems and why pick one over the other when building one?? Thanks to the both of you. GBU❤️
Oh my gosh guys. I thought only motor homes & travel trailers were big headaches. Wish you you the best.
I'm in Norfolk, VA and have a trailer, vehicle and time if you get stuck and need the help. I would be happy to help and take you to your destination if you really need it. My 3 Cavaliers would have to come along for the trip as well!
Love that Whole Area from Charleston SC down to N Florida were we love now,
This Whole area has Live Oak trees with Moss hanging from them like in the shot
At 0:28. And again in 8:15
I kinda guess something might have happened as i was waiting for your new vlog! So sorry to hear that. Really miss you guys and all the best! Stay positive and good luck!
Hope y'all are back underway. best of luck.
Hi! Sorry that you are having such troubles. Hope you get up to NY before the season ends. Wanted to let you know from a fellow LGI that new protocols are being implemented this year as of February. Visit your Instructors Corner for details, but all LGIs & ITs have to do a free online update before 7/31/2017. Just finished mine. Good luck with everything!
I hope you guys are going to have that new plate that you had shipped from Daytona going to be shipped somewhere else where you can pick up that other plate and have it as a spare plate I wish you guys a lot of luck and happy boating and I hope you get to Long Island on time for your jobs
When you guys come threw bucksport give a shout out to marina tell them it's for will . We live in bucksport in a camper . Good luck guys. On Fridays they have live music at bar on water .
Good luck y'all.
I love that boat keep it up!!
Oh man! you guys are going to have to take the whaler to new York !
Good luck !
I grew up near there the Dolphins have there young there, the marsh produces a lot of shrimp so the food sources are high I see you got some nice crabs there. Another great place for even bigger crabs is the Virginia side of Chesapeake Bay near the bridge.
You should stay! The Beaufort Water Festival starts on July 14th!
If your gonna break down, your really lucky to break down in Beaufort. I love that place! Go there every summer being that I only live 3 hours out.
I don't have much but it is payday!? And since I had my leg amputated I (I should say we {as me and my wife of 31yrs}) are pretty much living our lives vicariously through you both (our dogs are seriously envious of Jetty too) but could we send you a few to help (I do mean a few too;) Because till I walk or get out of this wheel chair you are our lives LOL SAD eh?
You're just what this world needs, god bless you and your wife, best of luck.
Christopher Frank uugg
Mike why the Uugg? Honestly, these kids are great and watching their vidz has helped me out of a huge hole of self-pity. In a sense, i feel I owe them
Christopher Frank
Maybe he wanted to give you a BIG HUG, but just couldn't figure out how to spell it!
I am sending a HUGE HUGG to you and your wife. I absolutely understand the what, and the why of your generous offer. You have an attitude of gratitude, and that is a wonderful thing to feel.
If a person has never been truly down, they just can't understand what it feels like. It's also been said that if you've never had your heart 💔 broken, you will never be able to experience true love ❤️. My most sincere wish of respect and gratitude to you, and I'm sorry that someone took your beautiful offer and stomped on it. I applaud you. You're my kind of people.
I too love watching these videos, I had some amazingly great experiences when I was their age, that unfortunately would be near impossible for my grown children to experience.
Hang in there my friend :-)
Please don't ever give up, the world needs you, now - more than ever...
Fast Lane Please look within yourself, there are issues in there. That would be the only explanation for such a awful comment. These are not spoiled kids, they are young adults living a alternative lifestyle ,many would like to be living there lives. Peace
Been watching your videos for a relatively short time now, but already love you guys! My goal is to live on a boat and your adventures keep that dream alive. Thank you, kiss Jetty for me!
Ciara is such a good partner for you. She just smiles when crap happens.
Good luck guy's
Good luck!!
If Germany wasn´t so far away, I would come to you and help with the repairs... But so I wish all the best and effort. Good luck!!!
Lol my uncle keeps his Hatteras right across from the Elco at 6:50
Good Luck!!
So sorry to hear this. I don't know what I could do to help, but let me know if I can in some way. I'm in Norfolk Va. Best of luck.
Good Luck hope you make it
Best of luck to the crew of the mighty NEVERLAND.
Love Beaufort SC,,arrived there 1985 never really left great little port,,,,hope those jobs pay decent money,,,,,to leave Beaufort 👍👍
Hi Billy, we have a 79 marine trader Europa 34 but it has the same motor as yours. I haven't seen it mentioned that you need to change the injection pump oil every 50-100 hours. The newer 135 hp versions had the injection pump fed by the engine oil, not so on the 120's. It doesn't take long but it's recommended by Ford. If you don't have the link for the maintenance on that motor I can send it to you. It covers valve adjustment as well.
+mike denney yes, I do inj. Pump oil every 50 hours pretty much. I gotta do the valves though
A high idle would prematurely wear the damper plate as engaging and disengaging forward neutral or reverse would force it to wear out.
Think of a throw out bearing on a clutch and dropping the pedal with the revs up everytime.
Same concept good luck.
Great videos, good luck on the repair and your deadline to Long Island. If you guys are late will you lose the job?
Good Luck!!!!🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Sorry guys but you are so resourceful you are going to make it...keep the positive and fun actitudes up... your videos are a source of motivation
The dampener plate is attached to the crankshaft of the engine and the transmission is attached to the dampener plate. It does three different things: 1) It transfers the rotation of the engine to the transmission. 2) It provides a gear for the starter motor to engage. 3) It provides some of the balance needed for the crankshaft.
The dampener plate looks like a flywheel with springs around the circumference and is hidden inside the rounded (bell) housing on the back of your engine. Several things could cause it to be out of balance and cause vibration: 1) One or more of the springs could be broken and have pieces missing. This could happen due to age, or rust and corrosion, or repeated hard shifts into gear. 2) Some of the teeth that the starter motor engages could be broken off. This is not likely unless you have problems starting the engine occasionally. 3) One of the balance weights could have broken off. This is the least likely of the three things to occur.
If you hear a rattling noise at idle or a clank when you put the boat in gear then the problem is likely due to broken springs. Find a good troubleshooting mechanic (not just a parts-putter-oner) and have her remove the starter and inspect the dampener plate. It needs to be done with a lighted scope or a mirror. It won’t be a conclusive examination but if one of the things mentioned above is found, then that is the likely source of your vibration.
If everything looks okay, it could still possibly be the dampener plate, but there are other external things to check before you spend the time and money to have the bell housing and transmission removed to get a closer look at the dampener plate. Such things could include a bad or loose spark plug wire, a bad spark plug, a loose engine mount, a badly worn belt, or a loose vibration dampener on the front of the engine. Also don’t overlook the obvious things like a bent propeller blade or a bent propeller shaft. Best of luck to you in tracking down the problem.
Richard Stone it is a diesel engine.
If the plate is not set right or aligned right it will cause friction and eventually vibrate to pieces if u get a alignment tool just make sure there's no wiggle or movement in the plate.
Love the videos guys, hope you make it safely:)
I agree with Big O! That thing will indeed burn up IF it isn't aligned. Aren't you glad that you have a decent tool box to do this work? Nothing worse than NOT having what you need to get the job done. That area really looked beautiful. Too bad there wasn't more time for exploring. IF the repairs work, how long will it take you to complete your trip?
Good luck!
Breakdowns happen in the best of boats, make the best of it. Cheers
Please don't lose faith things will get better.
having experienced the same breakdown , the answer is to get the other kind of plate . really lost reduction gear like once a year for like 3 years , finally switched , and I noticed you part is the kind we changed away from .
That sucks, at least you saw Beaufort..
Jetty mentioned in her last video that Her and Her people were broke down again. Sorry to hear about your misfortune. The clutch should have some sort of adjustment to compensate for wear. If it is slipping it will get hot and fail. If it is not disengaging completely when you shift between gears it will shock load the clutch disk.. There should be some measurement on the "free travel" of the cable and shift lever either at the controls or level on the transmission. I would search for info on shift cable adjustment.
hey y"all i wish you best of luck and calm seas.. agree with posts... make sure you are shipshape.. jersey shore can be nasty... fair seas
good luck!!
Sorry to see Tula's endless summer come to an end. So, are you going to continue this series next season after you are done working?
YARR!! That damper plate is gonna replace the whale in my nightmares.
Hi from Charleston SC, just a couple hrs away, go to Beaufort a lot family lives there
Haha I know that bridge
I know so much of that area
