    What progress.
    I’ve got a marine craft stern seal on my 20 mt motor cruiser. At her 30 year survey the boat yard recommended changing it. They did.
    I gave the boat a one hour half ahead for one hour to test all the many changes.
    Three minutes and the wheelhouse is smelling of acrid rubber burning.
    I stopped and called the yard. I said we are not on fire as the inrush of water had put the fire out. They rushed down, hauled Amicula out and pumped the water out.
    The fitter had tightened that red seal.
    Bless him he admitted it. Lesson learned.
    Just saying.

    Just took out an old engine out of my boat. It had a deep sea seal. if i had seen this video earlier i would have saved myself a bit of hand pumping seawater out of my bilge.

    Very nice of UltraMax to half-sponsor your batteries!
    How about a list of projects to completion that you can refer back to for us every 6 months or so - give us some idea of the enormity of what you have undertaken and ultimately when we will see you sailing!

    Definitely need to be adding some insulation around the engine bay to keep the noise down and be able to keep it from getting too hot. And add some led light strips so you can see everything clearly. Channel Refit and Sail from the UK redid a awesome little engine compartments on a old sailboat which turned out great. Insulated and well light. Could always add a small 12v fan on a switch to move air out of the engine compartment to keep the electronics from getting too hot or cold..

      Thanks Vic,
      Yes, the boat is based off the lines of a traditional Essex oyster smack. She will be gaff cutter rigged which is currently in the process of being designed.

    Do think that a block of wood placed under the strap on the middle battery would provide a bit more security to it as the other two batteries have direct connection to the strap

    Does your girlfriend appreciate a "comfortable" T-shirt? (I mean - the one with the "adequate amount of ventilation" 😜)
    My wife tried to get rid of my favorite several times - when she saw me in it again - she went crazy..
    Don't know how it actually works - but there is a strong correlation between the armpits and the "brain health system" ..

    Finn, it's difficult to see clearly, but it looks as though you mounted the propshaft seal with the emergency key pointing downwards. Are you sure you can get sufficient purchase on it if you need to turn it?
