- Replacing the seals of YANMAR SD20 saildrives in the boatyard of Monastir, Tunisia. Not a tutorial, but at least you can see what's what and how everything is held in place. It's actually an easy job! No special tools needed.

Fill hex bolts with pure lanolin after assembly. This prevents growth inside the hex head. Will not dissolve in water. But will easily squish out with hex wrench for removal, even years later.
We had fibreglass flaps put on. No issues. Thanks for the great video Wim 🙌🏼
The thing is that saildrives are moving to all sides, so we need at least a little bit of rubbery material around it to really close it off. Later on at that yard we fitted the original rubber flaps.
And you're welcome :-)
Welcome back 🙋🏼♂️, from me, too.
Last year we'd been in the same time in Sicilia where I'd been by motorbike. To late your Video was online
Thanx! Well, it's not that we were away. This is material from august 2022, haha!
Thank you so much, this video is incredibly helpful and thorough. I’m a new boat owner and will be tackling some of these tasks next week. I know I need to replace my rubber flap, the first(and probably both)sets of anodes, remove/clean the prop and check/change the gear oil.
The engine/boat is a 2007 with 300 hours so I’m hoping I don’t have to get deep into the weeds replacing the seals and gaskets. That’s a bit beyond my (growing)skillset.
You're welcome! And well, it's not that difficult. You just need to know what you need to do :-)
Hey Wim! nice to see you and the mrs again! say hey to her from snowy Finland :)
Done! :-) Yeah, I should cranck out more videos, but didn't have the time. And sometimes I'm just lazy!
@@DoubleUThings same here, and we have this thing... called winter, i think you might have heard of this seasonal thing that happens in the nordics? ;) this morning -7c and 45cm of snow
@@finnsailing69 Haha, we have been in the Netherlands for more than two months. That was way more than enough winter for us!
Great job!!
Thanx! 🙂
Excellent video :)
Thanx! 🙂
Good job👍
Thanx! 🙂
Looking good! So glad to see y’all back.
Sail drives looking nice.
Your not worried about the groove leaking again even with slightly moving the seal?
Hope all goes well.
Don’t stay away so long!
Hope not :-) It was hardly a groove. It was visible, but not really "feelable". So I guess the seal itself was the problem. But we'll see. I hope the oil stays clean.
And yes, I'll try to spit out more videos soon. I have enough material!
*_ WELCOME BACK!! You were missed!! ( Noticed on the Prop it had a Label "VOLVO PENTA" and you were speaking of Yanmar ???? ) _*
Haha! No time for editing. And lazy 😂
Yes, strange, huh? Yanmar seemingly uses Volvo props... Must be. I mean, it fits...
@@DoubleUThings 😂
Cheers guy’s
I’ve never worked on sail drives, only Oil Refineries near the Ocean or sea. Before we would put nuts and bolts together there would always apply a good dab of Never Seize on the bolt. It’s a silver zinc grease that helps stop the elements.
You're right about that 😁
I keep asking myself why you don't have an electric impact driver. They are so affordable these days. I think that would have worked on these sail drive bolts. Also maybe that bolt on the electric motor of the winch (I know it didn't work out in the end, I'd take that motor to a place that rebuilds car alternators and see if they can fix it). Anyway, really enjoy your "not a tutorial" videos and seeing how you fix things with limited tools and budget. I've picked up a lot of things watching you work. Thank you!
Hey, I missed your comment for some reason... Anyway, thanx for the nice words! Why I don't have an electric impact driver? Probably for the same reasson I still don't have tig welder or a lathe, haha! Too much stuff already in this little boat. But yes, it would be a handy addition to my toolset. And yeah, that windlass motor... I wanted to do that over here in Tunisia, and I thought I found a guy that could do that, but it turned out he only fixed generators (language barrier).
Exelent
now you ready for an ocean crosing
Haha!
Hi,
great job that I also did. It is important to point out that it is not necessary to grease but just to oil the O-rings and the ring because they are permanently in SAE 80W90.
Can you be so kind as to give me the complete part number of your Volvo Penta propeller, thank you!
Thanx! 🙂Yeah, the oil is okay too. It's less messy when you do it with a little grease, though. By the way, the Yanmar factory advizes to use 15W30 or 15W40 instead of 80W90 when the saildrive is connected to the 1GM10 engine. Strange, huh?
And I'm sorry, but I don't know that part number... And I can't check it, because we sold the boat by now.
Good job. Next time use a litle oil for assembling and oil the needle bearing first. What Marina is it ? Thank you in advance .
Okay.
This is the boatyard Port de Peche in Monastir. Marina is also in Monastir, Tunisia, just a few nm north of the boatyard.
Those two screws/pins… take care of those!!! Mine were corroded. There were only six of those screws on the planet!!! I’m the proud owner of four of those six.
Lucky you! 🙂
Looks good - no lock-tight? Seen others use it... PS If you don't have a vice - then Edel will have one... :-)
Nah, but i should have 😁 Edel?
@@DoubleUThings Edelweiss 😀 Sorry about my terrible sense of humour
