Our Boat
2008 Beneteau 49
3 cabin 2 head
4JH4-TE
Westerbeke generator
Mast, sails and rig are in excellent condition and in storage
Here's what we think we know about her past. Keep in mind we bought her at auction without ever meeting the owner! The owner was sailing along and ran aground - hard. Hard enough that the keel pivoted and pushed the aft end up into the hull. This force cracked the internal grid in several places and broke a portion of the grid free from hull. At some point an inspection was done, insurance was called and decisions were made. See • We Buy a SALVAGE SAILB... for how we came to own her!

It would be nice to see Beneteau give you something as acknowledgement of putting one of their boats back in the water. I’m very impressed with all you’ve done.
JUST LET GO OF THE WRENCH. Then all three of you can go below to the ratchet. Make it even easier, grab a 6 foot pipe from the yard, place it over the ratchet handle and one of you could spin it off easily. The wrench above will hold itself (put a piece of wood next to it).
This^^^^^.
Also, some of the time she had the adjustable on backwards. Yes, they work way better in one direction than the other. And a pipe wrench would have been a better tool, IMO.
I remember reading so many comments saying how crazy you two were to take on this project. So happy for you guys...well done!
Please don’t just rely on exterior sealant on the through hole fittings. Use sealer on the inside as well. Also make sure limber holes are big enough so they won’t easily clog up and lastly instal a second bilge pump as a redundant backup and have a dedicated battery supply somewhere quite high in the boat, so in the unlikely event your boat starts taking on water the power supply to the bilge pump will remain dry. Great video and lovely to see Dana and Lou🙂🙂
more important is to tie softwood bungs to all the through-hulls (sized to fit) - a bilge pump will not stop your boat sinking from a bust through-hull (a bucket shifts more water) but a bung will
Just warch recent Sailing Zingaro videos to see the worth of these comments
And a soft Rubber washer under the nut inside against the Hull so that if things do go South you can tighten up on the Nut and it bites into same...'Belt and Braces' is always the Best...
Just get some bungs. Way over thinking here.
I am not sure which is more impressive, all the work you have done or the fact that your remembered how to put it back together. You two are awesome. Cheers
I must admit that when I first started watching I was afraid that you guys might have bitten off more than you could chew, but now I stand corrected and I’m happy that I was wrong. Well done.
Agreed. What great job you both did! Your parents must be proud of your hard work. Good luck and I look forward to following your adventures together.
I agree too. What a great job!
I third that! You had me at sailboat. I've just recently become addicted to your insane obsession, and now your mine. I cannot stop watching, better than any reality program on major networks. You both posses what it takes to pull off this monstrosity of a project ... brilliance and persistence. Best of luck to you guys in all of your future adventures. I'll be sailing right behind.
Jade is totally awesome as is Dana. You and Brett have proved many of us wrong when we felt you had taken on a wreck. Brilliant⛵️👍
When reinstalling, use some Lanocote on the threads to help prevent the seizing in the future.
There's a product called anti-seize, it is used for situations like that to stop two pieces of metal galling together...
Galling is the term used when two surfaces in contact seize up as a result of cold welding. The problem (also known as 'adhesive wear') is most commonly seen when tightening bolts made from materials such as stainless steel, aluminium or titanium
Quick tip for next time. Just grind the flange of the throughhull off from the outside and pull it into the boat. No dust inside and works also when there is no access from inside... 🤗
And also, if you are removing throughhulls I would always replace them no matter what. Cheap stuff compared to the work involved removing them and also they are a safety feature.
And to mention the panic they produce if one breaks - and for me that's not rare.
Such a tease there at the end with the keel just touching the water. Super cliffhanger!
When we were children we were often ask what we want to be when we grow up. The correct answer is "happy". You two seem to be on that very path.
Thread breaking:
I’m not sure about fiberglass but when I have a bolt seized I first hit with a good penetration oil then apply heat( blow torch or soldering torch) and 9 out of 10 times it does the trick. Hope this help!!! love your journey and will be waiting with baited breath for next week😊
Heat and fiberglass = fire!
Use an adjustable heat gun.
But that crap brass garbage that Bendytoy uses for through hull fittings should all be replaced within a few years anyhow. They have a limited safe lifespan before they corrode and dissolve like a sugar cube in hot tea.
Just cut it. They should have done that first. It is almost as if this whole collaboration thing was staged and scripted. Business is business.
When they need to replace these new ones which they glued-in with 5200 (the devil's glue) cutting and drilling with a step-drill will be the easiest way anyhow. We use 4200 for through-hulls and even that is easier to cut usually than to try and release with heat and 3M debonder.
The "Let's" crew said they will probably be replacing all of this stuff eventually with real bolted seacocks which isn't the worst idea in the very long run. But for the next decade or so those new bronze threaded through hulls will do fine if they keep an eye on them. Most new cruisers don't even make two years before moving back to land and selling the boat. Very few last even 5-6 years. I hope these guys beat the odds and stick around but they really have not spent the time doing this to even know if this is what they want to do for the long term.
It isn't the life for everyone and many people with the "dream" realize after a year or so into it that they really don't enjoy the life like they thought they would before actually DOING it full-time. We have seen many other cruisers come and go. And of those that do stick it out quite a few often end up switching boats...
Time will tell. Going full-on nuts on very expensive upgrades that only pay off in the decades timeframe is sort of silly for newbies to embark on. Don't even get me started on $5k+ lithium banks that don't pay off for a decade. Buying fancy batteries for the next owners...even if they are still working as promised by the marketing pamphlets. In my experience nothing electrical, much less electronic lasts more than 10 years in a boat. The marine environment is hard on things, that isn't even including lighting strikes, partial sinkings/flooding or other destructive acts of god. It's a boat, moisture finds its way in.
I seriously hope they reinstalled that rudder correctly. I have some friends who lost their first sailboat from a very minor grounding when they backed up into the bank in the protected Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway
and broke/lost their rudder. The boat went down in 10-15 minutes. Potential great big holes in the bottom of the boat are scary.
@@svbarryduckworth628 Melt some candle wax into it...old timers trick.
@@svbarryduckworth628 I know a Duckworth in my area. Also, like you, a long winded, self righteous, bitter old thing.
@@dashroodle9507 if you knew ANYTHING about boats then I wouldn't need to tell you that SV stands for "sailing vessel" and thus Barry Duckworth is the name of a BOAT and not a living person. It should be plainly obvious to anyone who wasn't absolutely clueless that Duckworth is not my own name and I would not be related to anyone with that name.
Just a FYI. Keep F-en around until you find out.
Get a float switch and a LOUD noise making device. Mount the noise maker (siren, beeper, alarm) somewhere in the cabin where you can clearly hear it in the cockpit. Mount the float switch near the center-line a little above the bottom of the bilge so that if water ever gets that high it means the pump has either malfunctioned or it is being overwhelmed by the inflow. That should give you a head start on finding the thru-hull that has failed before the entire interior is awash and it is over the cabin sole. If possible, wire it to a battery that is a bit higher than the others so it will not be submerged by saltwater and short out.
Heat is the best option for freeing up stuck threads, but in that environment it would be a bad idea. Your cutting it was the best option. Good job!
Jade is QUICKLY becoming my favorite person on all of UA-cam! Not only with how she has handled this project by herself, but also how she has handled everything that comes with this project, and the UA-cam channel and everything that comes with that (good and bad), plus with the people around her. From being loving, respectful, but also standing up for herself! Jade, I truly have tons of respect for you, and I support you in all of the topics I mentioned! I hope you get to read this, and that it means just a little something to you. Thank you for all of these great episodes, and congratulations on the splash!!💯 I know how good that feels, so I hope you get to really enjoy it because you have 100% earned it!!......NOW GET BACK TO WORK AND FINISH THIS DAMN BOAT!!!🤣😂👊 Great job👏👏👋
3:28 Turn the adjustable wrench over.. You should pushy against the little moving jaw.
You teach a very important life process. When you have a big job to do and don't know where to begin, you just jump in with both feet and "START". There will be bumps and fails, but that is how life teaches you to dream! Good on YA!
i have to say you 2 are amazing in what you have accomplished in restoring your boat. once it touches the water then the real adventure begins. good luck to both of you and those precious dogs of yours. take care.
It has been a treat to watch you two achieve the seemingly impossible and do it with laughter. I am in awe of what you have achieved thus far. Waiting for the weather to improve so we can address the keel on my Bene First 405 and get her back in the water. Then the mast put back on and the 1,489 jobs can begin. Sailing will commence sometime in June. We lack your youthful exuberance, but old and stubborn works too. Hope to see you out there.
You cannot imagine how nervous and excited I am getting for you guys.
Good to know Gina and Lou's good vibes were in the surroundings for you guys.
Thanks.
Hi Guys.
You asked for some tips how to deal with seized nuts and bolts. On that size answer is heat. Heat it for bronze until it gets grey and it will unscrew easily. Heat goes on outside part. Smaller part of two should be cold(er).
Another thing I saw is that when you work with sealants like silicone or such. To make it really smooth and not to get any on your hands you should use soapy water. Make some in sprayer and when you tighten it up as much as you need spray generously on the part, surroundings and your fingers, hands and tool that you are using. For me fingers are best tools anytime. Then just smooth it out, silicon cane adhere to anything with soapy water.
Hope it helps.
your best bet is the application of heat if possible - blow torch or similar - I appreciate that your working with fibre glass though which tends to catch fire...... You can purchase heat resistant cloths - this is something that a plumber or heating engineer might use for solder joints on copper pipes (or use a wet towel).
Spray bottle of water could have kept surrounding fiberglass cool. Also, fiberglass has to get pretty danged hot to burn.
Like a giant jig saw puzzle. I hope all the pieces are still in the box. Love to see you splash her back in her natural element once again.
You two worked very SMART and HARD and did an excellent job. I hope you know it's only going to get better. I think there is nothing you two can't do.
After so much work, I have to complement you on your tenacity. You have kept pushing past the point of exhaustion. This video is like the proverbial light at the end of a very long tunnel. Plus my first thought was: Wow! The white surface inner hull is beautiful. Fantastic! Obviously a lot of work. The hull is pretty, even without the floor boards. Isn’t it funny how so much effort will be hidden? You both know the hull is now solid. Rest easy on that note. Your future guests will only see the teak, but you will look right through the floor and see the fiberglass layers beneath. I think this whole series is what people mean when they say “empowerment”. Tackle problems, learn, start over, succeed. Not asking permission; do it, own it. I know you are already in the water, looking forward to the day you post the 2021 season trips, sailing the east coast. Maybe I’ll see you in Long Island sound cruising around. That would be cool. 👍
I don't know why, but I am so proud of you two!
You guys did what a lot of people thought you couldn't do.
Can't wait to see this beautiful boat back in the water.
The best way to remove a thru-hull, the non-flush type as you have here, is to take a grinder and from the bottom cut an X. The lip will fall away and you simply draw it up and out of the way. You guys are amazing. What project and you've done it so well.
Jade is tireless and not scared to get in the cramped spaces to get things done.
She has really help keep things rolling to achieve the drop-in day.
Best I can tell you two have not cut any corners.
You two will legendary when you're sailing in this highly renewed boat
I knew you were going to get to them, but the lack of Limber holes was almost giving me anxiety. I'm so glad you remembered them!!! Love your channel!
Nice to see the floor installed. As a few have said apply heat to expand the outer piece to loosen, but when it’s really stuck also cool the inner piece to contract, with ice or can of air propellant. That worked for me a few times saved cutting things on my boat that would be hard to replace.
Love watching both Expedition Evan and Wild we Roam. Respect both your approaches to life. Wish we had the courage you both have to live life on your terms not the cooperate way. We are 67 and 75 and are just living our dreams.Built a sailboat and refurbished 2 others. Can’t wait to see your travels !
It was nice to see Lou and Dana drop in. I have followed them since they were buying and fitting out Odie. (Their van that they used to live in in Europe).
So Jade, I have enjoyed watching the "Jade Evans Boat Repair" channel for some time now. Tell me, who is that strange bloke that has just barged into your videos?
Seeing the floor panels in makes such a difference. It is like changing from a building site into a home.
Looking forward to seeing sailing videos soon!
You are a beast Jade, don’t ever let anything beat you. Work around and get it done.
I love watching your journey and to include Wild we roam... awesome!!!!!
I'm really excited to see the boat get back to the water. I know there's a long way to go before she's ready for open seas, but it's a great journey to be with you both on.
Your appetite for workload puts me to shame, you guys are relentless!
Loving it though. Splashing is just one step. Can't wait to see you under sail. Much love to you awesome pair of hard working, big dreaming, future salts. Keep it up, you brighten my weeks. X
Jade’s never-ending industriousness and ability is amazing. But I continue to be disappointed that there are almost never any scenes where Brett gets home from a trip and is blown-away by and thankful for all she’s accomplished. I KNOW he feels that way and I’m sure he is very expressive about it, but we rarely have seen it, which is a bit disconcerting. Jade single-handedly finishes tons of important work, Brett arrives, pets dogs, cut to him saying, “we have some things to do.”😳😧
I love watching you guys work. It is so good to know that the constant culling is not just affecting me. Also, your laugh is infectious! I come away from your videos with a big, goofy smile every time!!
We watch your show every week cant wait to see what you do next. We think you should be proud of what you did and Jade you are the hardest working woman I have ever seen. Now go and live your dream!
Check your speed sensor/transducer as Sailing Zingaro nearly lost his yacht through a broken speed sensor even though he replaced all the through holes.
Got a kick with the coast guard to the rescue lol not so much help from them. You'd think they'd carry a small trash pump but noo. James won't be complacent again
That's so funny I just watched them the video where their boxes are sold out. Now I most often grab the grinder before the wrenches first on all through holes. And always put new valves and through holes to replace. Also have plugs to hammer in for every single one on the vessel. Absolutely love you kids and would never get over it if you went down due to a few dollars over sea cocks.
Amazing job thus far, you have come such a long way and would like to think the hard part is over.
Jade, love watching you tackle projects on your own, you are a good role model for others.
Jade comes up with some really clever ideas to maximize and increase her mechanical advantage. Pretty cool.
The angle grinder is a boaters best friend - and it’s little sister the Dremel tool is a close second.
I’ve been watching Dana and Lou for a long time...I’m so excited for your collab and friendship!!! 💋🤗
About the trhoug hull fitting; most fittings are sealed with a kind of Lock Tite so if you heat this up with a torch to about 300 gr C. most of the time they will come of easily . BTW you guys did a great job. I enjoy the way you smile unless all the troubles. You will enjoy this boat for ever with all the afford you put in, and this boat is stronger and safer as it was. I wish you always 1 foot water below the keel.
good wipe of anti seize when through hulls are installed works great!
I bin watched all your episodes in one day!!!! Over the years ive enjoyed watching Sailing La Vagabonde and now I look forward to watching you finish your boat and seeing your adventures..... You two seem like a very nice couple, i wish you all the best!!!!!....My only regret is i wish i was 30 years younger and could follow your foot steps. Don't let negative people get you down your an inspiration to allot of people.
Jade you are a woman! A strong, knowledgeable, smart, creative and just down right incredible person and woman. Good on you for all that you accomplish! Fun to watch all of your guys episodes!
I'm so ridiculously in love with you guys! Exactly the energy we need out there in this world right now...
To make seizing a little less common, especially on a boat, a good rule of thumb is to always add blue loctite (red for permanent). In the event you have a seized bolt anyway, PB oil or penetrating oil, maybe on a paper towel and set over the threads for a couple hours to a couple days will almost always do the trick. Battery powered (or air) medium-high torque wrenches (400-700lbs) will also probably do the trick.
Good luck, enjoying the adventure vicariously :)
My shipyard goes simple to remove a seacock: Whether changing a seacock or the valve: change both at same time and just grind the seacock from outside and push hard to unglue. Takes 1,5 hours max per seacock to get a new one in place with new valve. And it is the safest way, do not change a valve without changing the seacock or one may have leaks soon. :-)
In my rowing days, we used to coat rigging bolts in anti-seize compound. I’m not sure if that’s right here, but it might help if you also have a lock nut or similar backout preventer.
Never fight a challenging repair when you are replacing stuff anyway, just try once if it doesn't work cut it :)
Also - Jade, you are all go and no quit and you never cease to amaze.
Good quote on you "Simple things are never simple"
A plumbers words to live by.
Simple things are quite simple, they're just not easy.
@@PetervanGinneken You are so right! I just wish they didn't always look simple before I started :) I live by two rules. Rule #1: Nothing's easy. Rule #2: See Rule #1
I'm surprised you don't have a backing plate under the nut of the thru-hull.
Cracking stuck bolts: leverage leverage leverage. Take a pvc pipe that fits over your wrench handle. Crank away. The longer the pipe is, the more leverage you will have.
Watching you two girls laughing about your problems put a smile on my face! Love the attitude, it’s no wonder you have achieved so much on your boats.
The tenacious two emerge triumphant! Very well done guys
I would strongly recommend using backing blocks or rings on the through-hulls to spread the compression load of the threaded ring. Not too late to do it before you launch and super quick and easy. I’ve been impressed with your work ethic and attention to detail on this project. Well done!
A good strong well fitted wrench well torqued against one side of the grid, protected with a cloth and a piece of 3/4 plywood and outside a lot of elbow grease
KEEP CRUSHING IT!! BTW: probably too late, but consider a backup bilge with a separate discharge for emergencies. If that pump fails its all you got unless you go manual pumping, not fun.
I love this series, you two have me on the edge of my seat with excitement every episode! Jade .... There are no words to describe just how awesome you are and have been through this whole transformation. I don't know of any woman with the strength and determination to keep everything on track as you have. Brett is very fortunate to have you as a partner in all of this. I love the "Let's" philosophy! It's perfect. My wife and I have been married for 39 years and I am wanting to incorporate that into our lifestyle as well. THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing your adventures!
Awesomeness. Jade is a RockStar. Cheers to splashing in next episode.
Congrats on all the progress. Distilling months of work down to a bunch of time lapse makes great video but anyone who has refurbished anything understands the scope and level of effort you guys have invested. Looking forward to watching your adventures now your are closer to really starting to enjoy all the hard work!
Like most people watching I too thought you bit off too much. I have restored from scratch 4 boats, 30-37ft. What you have done is amazing. Mostly because the 2 of you are amazing. The 2 of you are the healthiest people I have ever watched on UA-cam. Good on ya!
So amazing to see the boat in the slings. What a beauty
So looking forward to seeing her get her feet wet again. You have done such an amazing job bringing her back to seaworthiness. You will be paid back many times over for your care and dedication to this part of the work.
Jean Marc
You two did an absolutely stupendous job, congratulations! I am only a little surprised that after such a wonderful job you do install new thru-hulls on your brand new bottom without bronze or even wood backing plates on the inside. It's such an easy thing to do in your case with all the wonderful access you seem to have at each thru-hull and it would provide much strength and added safety to these critical connections. Anyway, I much admire your tenacity, hard work and wonderful spirit. I will follow with great interest the rest of your adventures.
Also, FWIW, I think it's super-cool that Jade is doing most of this rebuild.
You guys have that ‘magic’ .... you’re now a must-see! Huge congratulations on your awesome achievements .... can’t wait for next stages of your adventures! 💯🎉💥
"Faster than a speeding bullet! More powerful than a locomotive! Able to leap tall boats at a single bound!" "Look! Up on the foredeck!" "It's SuperJade" .... Ole Brevens better bring you something real special, maybe a Jade necklace !!!
FYI: Jade try some heat via a portable propane torch on seized threads ..
Fair winds guys, love your channel and the devotion you putting into this refit .... Cheers !!!
I'm so to see you all are friends. Both channels show couples who are so positive and who communicate with so much respect.
So surreal!
I’m so used to watching you both covered in fiberglass or in tyvek suits that I almost forgot the whole point was to GO SAILING.
This is so great!
Jade rocking the work out, as usual! A little backseat driving. It looked like the nuts for clamping the quadrant to the rudder post were nylock nuts. I suggest you look into whether or not they should be reused for that potentially critical application, if you didn’t buy new.
I was screaming at the computer to just place the wrench inside to boat so that it would jam against the inside locker to keep it from turning. Outside is another matter because you are trying to exert force above your shoulders, with is nearly impossible. You need(ed) to raise your base so that the power of the legs came to bear at about the kip level. But the cutting wheel is good too! Good job!
Amazing job you two. You guys accomplished in months what would have taken most people years, and that's if they didn't give up. It's been a pleasure watching you through all the highs and lows, best leason here, keep a good attitude and have a partner on the same page as you and you can accomplish anything. Congradulations, so happy for you guys!
I am just amazed and so excited for you guys! well done! such persistence, hard work.... congratulations. I loved the floor board sequence.
Two nuts are jammed together on bottom side but looks like your having fun😀. Great job the fun and sun is at the end of the tunnel!
Look for some good anti-cease grease when you put the nut on. Won’t help in fixing past work, but will help for future works on things you set up.
Through hull fittings, need to be replaced every 5 years or so, bronze corrode eventually and plastic gets brittle, same with sea cocks, particularly around engines. Sama sama with bilge pumps and raw water pumps and engine exhaust fittings. Check EVERYTHING regularly, 2 hose clamps on every hose fitting, 316 SS quality hose clamps only try to avoid worm drive hose clamps, use all SS band GBS bolt clamps. 316 SS/teflon sea cocks. If you spend the bank on anything spend it on below water line fittings. If you get stuck get one of these and same SS wire, they're awesome
I have to say I am amazed and impressed at the amount of detail you both continue to put into this project. This project is truly one I can't stop watching! Looking forward to Friday this week!
4:20 I'm slowly dying inside ! You used the torque wrench for that stubborn bolt.
It's still a torque wrench, just not an accurate one now 🤣
Yeah..... Lessons learned....
Did you notice in which direction she was pushing +++
@@belledetector Yep, sure did... also didn't need anyone on the inside holding the wrench, simply put a short piece of pipe over the wrench handle & let push against the stringer. A little heat from a torch & it's a 5 minute or less job.. Melting some candle wax into it is another trick often used.
looked like a 'click type' so no issues there
So incredibly impressed with your hard work, determination, and skills. The boat looks better that new and I’m sure that you are both very proud. Did you seal the lumber holes? I’m imagining that you did, but wanted to be sure since you’ve done such a great job with very thing else. It’s a critical step. Looking forward to following your next chapter.
Get some zerk fittings for your valves then put grease in it. If you do them often enough it will help them from getting froze stuck open or closed. The zerks go in where the little bolt is. The other is for draining the valve.
Congrats on getting back to the water (almost) . If you haven’t already , I’d highly recommend putting a strip of soft Velcro or similar on top of the bearers to stop the floor boards creaking underfoot. Awesome job on the repairs . That’s the strongest Beneteau on the ocean now !
So nice to see Lou and Deana come along to help you and so pleased to see how well your boat is coming on. From the UK.
Jade is amazing not afraid to take on anything. Looking forward to see the interior all together. What a great job you have done.
This entire project has been incredible to watch. To see two people work so hard and so well together is just beautiful. I hope you two have all your dreams come true and then some. Good luck to you both.
Take the seacock apart to it's basic form so it's ready to be installed when you need it. Jade, you rock!! looking forward to the actual sailing video's, as I'm sure you both are. Keep on keeping on and protect your joints with the braces, as you age, which will never happen, you'll thank yourself. The borrowers got'em. Excellent!! Haven't watched the whole video, before I commented. still not done. Fun to see all the video editing, it's another job. Always exciting to see people develop their style. You guys are doing Great!
As I binge through your adventures, this episode feels like 'The End', after watching the intensity of your effort. Thankfully, it's only the end of The Beginning.
Great job! I know it was satisfying to get things back together! Happy sailing!!
I would put actual heat shrink over those heat shrink connectors. When you crimp them it usually compromises the seal. Maybe too late now but in future it would help with corrosion. Y'all are doing a great job. I am also a commercial pilot in a twin otter one day I'll get where y'all are at.
Looking awesome. WTG. Inspiring. Thanks for sharing the journey.
Great to see Dana and Lou with you. Both your channels bring a smile to my day. Boat is really coming together.
Have loved watching your journey. So proud of you guys and all you have achieved. I often wait to hear you acknowledge and thank each other for what is accomplished when you get back from being away. I know you are a team. However, it would be a nice touch because you couldn't do it alone. Expressed gratitude goes a long way. Can't wait for the next episode
Hi Guys. Congratulations on a massive scale. You have both worked so hard, and have learnt so much about your boat, and each other. You asked about how to release the threaded pipe, place in vice, and apply heat. Also Jade, you need to work on your high fives. Well done again, you must feel so proud.
I am beyond impressed with you two and this project. Thanks for sharing the journey with us!
Excellent job guys. Looking forward to the splash. ATB Stay safe. Fair winds & regards from the UK
15:43 :) The building was kinda fun. Let's get to the sailing!
Nice job cutting off that seacock. Well done! Just do it sooner next time. Lol. Please add some anti-seize compound & dielectric grease to your tool box. Anti-seize on anything threaded & the dielectric grease on electrical connections. N don't forget to protect the grounding points on your electrical systems. N parifin wax on stainless steel threads will keep them from galling. Keep up the good work guys!
