What a very well presented instruction video. I am going to perform this procedure on a Technodrive SP60, while this is a Yanmar, it looks (according to the worksop manual) pretty much identical to the Technodrive unit. Thank you for your time and patience creating this video, very helpful indeed.
Thanks for the appreciation. These videos make almost no money and don't even cover camera gear. We just make them to give back for all the help we have received.
@@travelsketch It sounds like you are firmly on the same page as me. I'm now 73 and been doing jobs for smiles for many years, but the appreciation and feeling of well bein that is derived from that is immesurable. People like you are diamonds.
Great job! The only good thing … no time pressure to change things right now. I know sounds probably sarcastic….. but i DONT have bad intentions! Have a great day and soon you will sail
Very true 🙂 This was actually filmed a little while ago when we still hoped to launch before the hurricane season started but I've only just had time to edit it now! We're in the process of organising how we want to do maintenance moving forward since as you say, the timeline has changed.
@@travelsketch I love it that you make preventive maintenance and don’t stick your head in the sand! Keep your spirit positive. Greetings from here and all dumps up 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Very instructive, it is not as complicated as I thought it would be. I understand the key is to have and use the right tools and materials for the job.
Amazingly clear explanation, which will no doubt be very helpful to many people. 👍 Recently watch Parlay revival do similar but I understood this a bit more.
Great video ! I will purchase the press tools! Thanks , Usually in the kit of oil seal they is some shim to make sure that the lip of the oil seal doesn't it the same spot on the shaft and create a groove?
Ive not seen a kit with such a shim but it would make sense, I have read that people with heavily worn output shafts use a product called speedi sleeve to repair the shaft but I don't know enough to comment.
We saw the video had come out but haven't had a chance to watch it yet - given his background I'm sure Colin will be doing all the servicing on the new SD60 as well :)
They were due for this service and Leopard sent us the parts. The motors have an abnormal amount of hours due to various failures requiring the boat to motor when it normally wouldn't have to, which devalued our engines and will be part of the discussion for compensation.
Is that prop speed or is that just the base epoxy coat? I was warned by Yanmar not to sand down the epoxy base coat to bare metal, which is why I avoided prop speed on the drive (until I'm out of warranty at least) and just went with Trilux.
It's Propspeed - First we were told we needed to sand the base coat off, then the Yanmar dealer came back and corrected themself saying the Propspeed could be painted directly onto the base coat supplied with the sail drive. That's what we did and so far no issues. We're planning to reapply it in future.
Just key up the base coat, clean it and paint it on. The propspeed under coat seals the aluminium anyway. It works really well. Way better than the antifoul.

it is great indeed. Thank you very much
Thank you for the feedback. If it helped you buy Tynan a beer.
A brilliant description. Well done. I am going to buy you a beer! Cheers Richard from Hawkeye (Lagoon 45).
Glad to be of help and really appreciate the beer! :D cheers

Thank you for the feedback - clear and helpful were what we were aiming for when making this so it's good to know that's how it came across 🙂

excellent vid thanks.
Parlay just replaced one👍

Why we do our own servicing, so we know the history and do it all perfectly.
Thought your boat was new and had hardly been in the water?

High maintenance stuff
Looked all good but did you grease the bearing before you put the shaft in? With a wheel bearing We put greece on and in the bearing .
On our saildrive the bearing is submerged in oil so it's not necessary. When we had dirtbikes that's exactly what we'd do 👍
