Hey Guys : I never comment but I want to say you all are great. Down to earth and nice and you're doing a great job on that boat. It's going to be amazing. I've been watching for a while and of course Subscribed & Like each time. :)
Good progress. I think however the scuppers should drain out above the waterline so they can handle a lot of volume quickly when you cop a big wave over the coaming. At the moment, the drain tubes will be half full of water, and the weight of the water draining out will need to move it first, then get a chance to drain itself. Not a good look when you want it out fast. you went to all the trouble to remove the through hulls, then drilled through again..!! I shed a tear for you - and I shouted in dismay at the screen.!! Haha ha. Also, as the scupper fittings are domed, there will always be water collecting in the cockpit channels, and it is a right pain in the neck (from experience). I know you said a sponge will fix it, but there will always be some water rolling around there. Still, I guess you have a go and work your way through the practicalities and find your way, which is very satisfying. Great videos - thanks for the entertainment. Grant, Adelaide, South Australia.
Thanks for the advice. I had the same setup on the last boat and was very happy. The seacocks were super messy and not really organised. There were three where there should have been two. Total mess. Plus the cockpit was draining into one with a tee piece. Ac outlet, seawater inlet, a total mess. We have started to put the seacocks in better places, with their correct functions. So, hopefully it will work better. But I'm glad we entertain you. 😊 Cheers for watching 🙂
Hello again to you both. Another very interesting video. All these "little jobs" are totally important for your boat to be safe. You both are doing great work. Looking forward to next week. Ok, later, ciao. Geo
Good morning from Hawaii. Would it have been possible to mount the cockpit drain through-hulls above the waterline? Love your videos and how well you both work together.
Here in the midwest area of America we have these little tiny black biting gnats.. often called pecker gnats because you see them swarming around the pecker of an animal.. they make life miserable!! Their bites hurt and itch afterwards. Usually they're not to bad but we didn't have a normal winter last year so it didn't maintain the freeze long enough to kill them and the pesky mosquitoes off.. thanks for sharing your journey with us.. all the small custom bits and bobs as Stew calls them are going to really make Seabird look amazing when done.. it's a automatic 👍 when you post a video because I know that I will be entertained and laugh at something Stew or Marina say..
I'm glad that you have shown me the poly pox filler. It looks ideal for some small repairs I need to to on my little Gull Dinghy and, for once, it isn't massively expensive. 👍🏻
Impressive progress you can see it really becoming a new boat. On the subject of bilge paint, it’s cheaper to buy once expensive than twice of something cheap that doesn’t work.
Thank you Guys for an excellent Vlog. You may think it may be boring at times for your viewers. But don't you ever think, us viewers watch you because we like the personality that you both portray? That's why we really like. Cheers Guys xx
I recall from the early days when in the French canals, Marina was the Piglet to your Eyeore! I still remember the aluminium swarf in the scuppers being a worry for you and fairy dust for Marina!❤. The roles have seemingly reversed recently and there’s something of the Eyeore in Marina now. Relax my dear and find your lovely inner hippie again. Your both doing just fine and never have I seen so much love lavished on bilges before. Go well!👍
Dont remember now but did you put any parafin oil to that gelcoat? It wont dry without that. Just paint that bilge with epoxy paint. Thanks for good content,best channel on UA-cam 👍
I think that's where I messed up. My careless attitude, I'll put my hands up to that. So epoxy paint it is... (And its looking OK 😉) Cheers for watching 🙂
I know for me, it's those little ten minute jobs which always seem to take at least an hour, which is why it's taken me till now to catch up with this episode! Never mind, every week little by little you're getting a step closer to cracking that magnum of vin blanc over the bow and heading off into the sunset. Keep up the good work.
I installed a 12" 'Shower Grab Bar' on the bulkhead in the head, it kept me from pitching out into the cabin when we jibed, and helped the fellas keep a 'steady aim' while under way! 😲

Its a great video again. The jobs you say are frustrating and boring are actually good to watch as its honest about how you are putting the effort in all over the boat. They are little jobs that for us build up the excitement of seeing you get to the 'big' jobs. All of it is worth a watch. You are doing a great job and love to watch each week what you have achieved. Keep going its looking great! ❤
For all you through haul nah sayers this is a center cockpit. They did it correctly when on a heal it will drain correctly. They ran the lines the correct way. It’s a center cockpit. No they could have done it above waterline but a freaking hose you would be dodging heading to aft. Some people’s kids.
You're going to have the fanciest throne of them all! Dang. Also for the scupper hose, don't run them up too far, otherwise they may not drain right if you're heeling and just took a cockpit full of water.
Those drains are pretty low. It's the original design, just moved them a little and cleaned up the mess of seacocks. Now very simple and tidy. Really excited about the toilet, it might be the first complete room. Cheers for watching 🙂
Cut the end off your wooden spatulas to make a straight line, I watched another channel ship happens and they were told to do that as it's better for mixing epoxy in cups. I love your boat, your doing a great job getting the old girl back to life! I enjoy my Fridays getting to catch up on your progress, thank you 🏴
Hi guys. The cockpit drain pipes appear to be crossing over each other exactly where the engine needs to sit. You might need to uncross them. Great videos.
It's all good. They need to be crossed over. The hoses will be screwed to the walls to give better access. It will all make sense... Cheers for watching 🙂
Hi, bilge paint is a paint that fills in holes and grooves and leaves a smooth, easy to clean surface. That is why it is preferable to other coating materials apart from being resistant to diesel etc. Stoppani produces "Sentinax" bilge paint, 0,75 L at 12,99 Euro, not a bad deal i think.
Hi Guys. Possibly just a personal preference however i did find that when i put any thru hull/deck fitting where i used Sika it was good to do the fitting up finger tight whilst Sika was wet. After a couple of hours( or whatever semi drying time is needed due to temperature) i could then put on another half or so turn, not overstressing plastic fittings as to strip thread or put hairline cracks in them, and the Sika became an adhesive type of gasket and all the Sika was not squeezed out.
We have them here in Australia as well, call them "no-see-em's" cos you cannot always see them. Rub mouthwash on your skin, that seems to help deter them
hey you two lovin all the vids, just wanted to say a huge thanks for the BITE AWAY tip, I'm working in Tahiti at the moment and the mosquitos just love me !! went back to the UK for a short break and saw your last video and bought one of the bite gone things and no itching since many many thanks for that. I'll send something from amazon to say thanks 😉😉😉😉😁😁 keep up the good work 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 update couldn't get your amazon list to work so bunged you summit on coffee 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Really nice work you two, ‘always great to tune in and see where you are at. I hear what you are saying regarding the cost of the Bilgekote but in this case you do get what you pay for and you can be sure that once you have it down you can forget about it - it will stick and that it will last for as long as you have the boat under any spilled oil, fuel, sea water or so-on. If I had the coin I’d buy it for you.
One coat of epoxy = five coats of varnish. When using epoxy as varnish outside do a light sand when the epoxy is dry and finish coat/coats with a spa varnish for the UV protection.
easiest and best solution was to run the hose to rear transom and the cockpit drains would,ve run clear and fast and the lower thru hull connections would be well above water line and those plastic not to ever to be used below water line ,,,could have been used
It will work, but I’d drain them above the waterline for two reasons. First, they are more likely to foul with marine growth below the water. More importantly, if the hose springs a leak low down you have a serious problem.
@@RevDrMalamaRobinson How do you keep the pipe clear of barnacles and fouling? Just keep it above the waterline and avoid the potential problems and extra cost. Don't make amy holes below the waterline unless you absolutely have to.
Yes International Danboline is good but really seriously expensive and agree use garage floor paint plus its available in many colours and its waterproof and greaseproof and tough and at least halve the cost, if applying one tip it will dry in 24 hrs but do not walk on it for about 5 days to let it harden
Nice instruments (clock and temp/hum) with this little screws on the front side. Have almost the same clock at selmatrudelli but was not able to find temp/hum with that screws. Are that messing instruments someone painted black? Or is that black original?
Why do boats have drains that compromise the hull. Why not just let the water go through channels across the deck and drain out through holes around the edge? Or would be good to have them drain i to a storage container and have a reverse osmosis filter so you can make your own drinking water.
I really enjoy getting home from work on my Fridays and watching your video updates! I purchased your plywood request times 2! Hopefully thats plenty for guys! Thanks again for another great video! Update: It is supposed to arrive Tuesday June 18.
With us it says: The squirrel fueled laboriously! Slowly but surely it will be something. What I have not understood are the holes that you drilled into the ship wall ... if you explained it, my English doesn't seem to be enough. But no matter, you don't have to know everything! Enjoy your work!
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the thru hulls for your cockpit drains REALLY should be above the waterline. You could tie them together through a single thru hull. Those look like 1.25" (32mm) drains. A 2" (~50mm) thru hull would handle both drains.
The first comment is wrong cockpit through -Hulls are usually below waterline then you plumb them in a x plumbing schematic for better flow on tack the first guy that commented now you owe stu and marina 5.00 for your stupidity how long will armchair sailors exist we might not know
When you are sailing, if you heal over to much your cockpit will fill with water. Draw an imaginary line through both skin fittings to work out how long your pipe will have to be to help the problem. 👍🇫🇷
@@johnmclachlan1023 You draw a line from your scupper’s or toe rail to your skin fitting on a piece of paper and that gives you your angle of heal. Then a line hull skin fitting to cockpit fitting and get the angle of heal when your cockpit fills up. That’s why you normally fit your skin fitting’s above the water line and yes always crossed. 👍🇪🇸
Have watched you from the beginning. I admire you both. Would like to send you 100 usd. Wish it could be more. If you could let me know where to send it I'll be there get it to you ASAP. I watch you every Friday as it makes my day. I'm 74 yo and am a retired millwright and maybe I can find something to send you to help you along.
Four! It's got two on the bottom of the floor. Let's hope that's enough. Plus, how wet is the underside of the floor going to get? We have "bilge check" on the calendar, every 3 months. I'm sure we'll notice if there's an issue. Cheers for watching 🙂

Hi, bilge paint is a paint that fills in holes and grooves and leaves a smooth, easy to clean surface. That is why it is preferable to other coating materials apart from being resistant to diesel etc. Stoppani produces "Sentinax" bilge paint, 0,75 L at 12,99 Euro, not a bad deal i think.
We'll check it out.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Morning from SA.....having the drain holes for the cockpit under the water line would that not block the drainage ?. Have a good one....
We had the same set on our last boat and it works.
No issues.
Crazy thing is the sink is the same, and that drains...

As you have it the cockpit will never drain !
Put thru hull drains above the water line and pipe the cockpit water there.

@@johnmclachlan1023 You draw a line from your scupper’s or toe rail to your skin fitting on a piece of paper and that gives you your angle of heal. Then a line hull skin fitting to cockpit fitting and get the angle of heal when your cockpit fills up. That’s why you normally fit your skin fitting’s above the water line and yes always crossed. 👍🇪🇸
Good job !!! Great team !!!! Step by step its magic for sûre ! 😉 salutations from Belgium 😜

I watch you every Friday as it makes my day. I'm 74 yo and am a retired millwright and maybe I can find something to send you to help you along.
Lots of little jobs done! Good work.
Doing a great job love watching your video's
Thanks guys great video and progress ,keep plugging away !!
Well done guys, looks amazing, your smashing it 💪👍
Thanks 👍
Cheers for watching 🙂
Sorry guys so far so good BUT but as a surveyor I would expect the cockpit drains to discharge 'above' the waterline NOT below it
This was the same set up our last boat.
We've even made this better.
Before it was a total mess with the seacocks.
Cheers for watching 🙂
Cockpit or even deck drains can go to below the waterline.
I wouldn't hire that surveyor 😂@@SailingSeabird
Below waterline is right; aids self-draining in motion, and stops staining on topsides!
Shouldn't the cockpit drain into the bilge and then have the bilge pump, pump it out?
Ok showing the key to tighten the nuts being shown with Stu holding it between his legs had to be deliberate 😂😂😂😂 you guys are baiting me 😂
4 layers of epoxy makes your wood waterproof Stuart
Four!
It's got two on the bottom of the floor.
Let's hope that's enough.
Plus, how wet is the underside of the floor going to get?
We have "bilge check" on the calendar, every 3 months. I'm sure we'll notice if there's an issue.
Cheers for watching 🙂
Con grats on so so much progresssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Slowly slowly getting there. Good luck to you both. ❤️❤️
Great progress when you add up all the little jobs!
Ok, who’s the artist on the hull above the work table? Does someone need some attention?😂
If you had a pencil and something to draw on, I bet you would 🤣🤣
Cheers for watching 🙂
