Chris, Rossella & Emma 😊
great job cleaning all the cooling passages !!!! getting out the copper tube and using the muriatic acid to clean all parts. Brill !
What kind of mechanic were you? I think you mentioned before something about the military in a past vid. But I can't remember for sure if you did or what you said that has me thinking military. But it is obvious to me you have been a mechanic of some sort. You are very good at problem-solving when it comes to mechanical stuff. You think like my uncle that taught me to work on engines and cars in general, then when I was 20 or 21 he got me a job working on heavy equipment. (Like the Uke dump trucks, huge loaders, draglines and shovels, all used in surface coal mining and the like). Anyway I always enjoy seeing the solutions you come up with.
Hi there, thank you very much. :-) My Dad was a fixer of everything and anything when I was a kid, so that set me up for life... I joined the Royal Air Force when I was 17 and completed an engineering apprenticeship to become a mechanical technician on aircraft. I worked on helicopters and fast jets for 7.5 years in the R.A.F. and then started working offshore (Platforms and ships) on underwater robots, where as well as continuing to work on mechanical and hydraulic systems, I also learnt about working on electrical and electronic systems and fibre optics. Looking back it's been the perfect preparation for life as a boat owner!.. 😂 I'm sure working on the coal-mining equipment was very interesting and I can imagine that often there was off-the-cuff problem solving involved to make repairs... Fair winds, Chris 👍
Crikey Emma is growing so quickly! Sail safe Ant & Cid xx
Hi Ant & Cid, yes she certainly is. We gave her her first hair cut today... 😍Fair winds! Chris, Rossella & Emma 😊
Excellent tip with the acid bath 👍
I love to experiment and it's nice to share the results with others. :-) Cheers, Chris 👍
Does Emma ever wake up unhappy? While I'm amazed by your DIY ingenuity (that trick with the upside-down air can was cool--and I'll take the pun), I'm even more amazed with Emma's pleasant disposition. She makes me smile every time you go to get her up (and when we see how her whole being brightens up when either of her parents come into view). Keep up the good work.
Hi Wayne, Emma is a very happy baby and she is nearly always happy when she wakes up. Unless you wake her up when she's enjoying a sleep, in which case she lets you know right away! 😂 Thank you for your kind words, we really appreciate hearing from our viewers. We put soooooo many hours into this, in exchange for a pittance in revenue, (60 USD from UA-cam in the last 28 days - for all our videos!), but reading the lovely comments we get from people like you make it all worth while. Fair winds, Chris, Rossella & Emma 😊
Good morning Emma thank you for brightening up my Saturday. The internet has sure made it easy to shop around and get a good price. All of us have a budget to worry about.
Hi Tom, we're delighted that Emma brightened your day. She brings us so much joy and it's nice to be able to share some of that with others. We can stretch a budget a long way and we have some videos planned about finances. (For example how much our last boat cost us to keep over the 4 years we had her) We know that money is a big barrier to many people who would love to go cruising, and we would like to help by sharing our experiences. Fair winds! Chris, Rossella & Emma 😊
Love the lo-fi puller idea. Thanks for all you do - love your videos.
Making videos is hard work (and VERY time consuming!) but receiving thanks from our viewers makes it worth every minute. So thank you! Fair winds, Chris, Rossella & Emma 😊
Wow great video! Really enjoyed the engine work and of course Emma is adorable!
Thank you very much Patrick! Fair winds, Chris, Rossella & Emma 😊
Chris it would be good to mention that to never put anything aluminum in the acid solution. It will be dissolved and the solution will foam over. I had a auto radiator shop for 30 years and found this out the hard way long time ago.
Hi Walter, yes anything aluminium would be gone very quickly in that strength of acid. Thank you for commenting to help other people out - that is exactly what we are trying to achive with our channel. Fair winds! Chris 👍
the perfect video - a little bit of local colour (the festival), a little Emma (happiest baby ever) and several boat repair hacks. I loved the engine repair times - I might even have enough courage to do engine work myself. Thank you for another amazing video :)
Thank you very much Jeffrey, it's always a pleasure for us to read your comments. 👍 Fair winds, Chris, Rossella & Emma 😊
Have a look at the Manfrotto super clamps, there are copies on ebay but they hold cameras very well. May not be as versatile as the gorilla pod but worth a look. Great channel, always look forward to seeing what you've been up to.
Hi Daniel, thank you for the tip, we'll check the Manfrotto Super Clamps out. Fair winds! Chris, Rossella & Emma 😊
Chris, one of the other sailing channels had a great idea. (Onboard Lifestyles} Whenever he worked on a part on his engine, he would paint it a different color, that way he knew when and what year it was......
Hi Larry, that's a great idea. Fortunately, we will have our videos to refer to, so I will be able to go back and see exactly what I did and when... 😁 Fair winds, Chris, Rossella & Emma 😊
Another great video instaLiked👍
Thank you Paul! 👍 Chris, Rossella & Emma :-)
Playing dangerous there with the Kitchen pans and thermostat Chris. In your defence I have done the same. :) Reminds me of the time when I used our kitchen dishwasher to degrease an A series mini gearbox (just fits in nicely).....or the kitchen floor to disassemble a Mercedes cylinder head ready for sending to Redmans for a skim..... You can imagine how well that was received :)...
Hi David, the gearbox in the dishwasher is brilliant!... 😂 I think many of us are guilty of such sins. A hard one to beat is my late dad, who was rebuilding an old BSA motorbike inside our living room in our tiny 'two-up, two-down' terraced house with a friend of his. They were rebuilding the engine one night after midnight and before the exhaust was fitted my dad's mate 'gave it a little kickstart'. The engine started, without any kind of silencing! Cue ornamental plates falling off shelves and a near double murder as my mum (who is from Northern Ireland with a temper to match) came running down the stairs and nearly killed the two of them. My dad's friend was terrified of my mum after that!... 😂 Fair winds, Chris 👍
We sure are guilty. :) I could probably write a book on some of the adventures and feats we have done over the years.:) I remember my grandad Stanley telling me some of his stories - he did exactly the same as your dad in their front lounge with his motorbike in a back to back terrace :) He used to strip down a BSA Bantam and change the head gasket and all that they used to have to do on old english motorbikes to decoke etc. It must have been 'a thing' they used to do back then...in the lounge or on the dining room table it didnt seem to matter... . :) I dont recall him telling me he started her up though. I can imagine my grandma would be running round hopping mad if he did that :). Keep the lovely videos coming guys . Fair Winds and Following Seas
A nice project competently done, Thumbs up!
Thank you very much. 👍 Fair winds, Chris, Rossella & Emma 😊
Check in an industrial supply catalog and look for coolant lines. (they are used in the machining industry to flow coolanto to cutting tool in cnc metalwork)
try fixing the cam stand with g/flex 655-K epoxy from west systems, i fixed many things on my boat and at home with this epoxy (its the 2 tubes type)
Love your channel!! Just made a link to your channel on my youtube sailing channel :) Keep up the great edits!

Super tips there thanks ,sailing Uma are at southampton boat show they have a converted washing machine engine i believe using the code uma26 gets a discount on the ticket🍀shocked you guys didnt go straight for the polenta
Great video as always Chris. I have a Magnus MaxiGrip Flexible Tripod that I have had great success with. I am not sure if it is any better than the Jobo but may be worth looking into.
Hi there, thank you very much! I always would like to use your name when I reply to your comments but I can't because I don't know it... What should I call you? Thank you for the tip regarding the Magnus Maxigrip, I'll check it out. Fair winds, Chris 👍
My name is Jacobus (yah-KO-bus) but almost everybody outside of the Netherlands calls me Jim. 😉
It's a pleasure to 'meet' you Jacobus. Chris 👍
Regarding the portlights it's a known Bavaria problem, a simple trick is to apply some silicone to the rubber edge and it will be water tight again. If you have a direct leak you can use Tec7 (Trans7clear) to seal it and even while it's wet.
HI Tino, than you for the advice. Fair winds, Chris, Rossella & Emma 😊
You guys must feed Ema some funny powder 😂
The ‘Gorilla stand’ ,-you can glue some of the joints. You often only bending some of them, they get worn out. Glue the one and the rest work fine.
I know it’s irritating, but it’s SO great when it’s working.
Volvo parts....expensive!!!
Fun fact: Volvo is Latin and means : I’m rolling.
Hi Anders, Emma is a naturally happy baby and we are REALLY lucky to have her brighten up our lives. That's a great tip about the Gorillapod. We have a new one now (same model) so when it starts happening again we'll do that until we can find a more durable solution. We use our camera's all the time, so the tripod gets a huge amount of use. Fair winds! Chris, Rossella & Emma 😊
Ol'china, get rid of the penny washer, they're a dime a dozen. What you need is a gilley washer, way more usefull.
Thanks wish i could offer advice on the camera mount
No worries Al, thank you for watching and commenting, that really helps our channel! Fair winds, Chris, Rossella & Emma 😊
What is that new camera? I am looking for a new camera.
Hi Tommy, it's a Canon EOS M3 and we have been very happy with it! There are links to the camera, lenses and mic in the video description. If you purchase via these links, you support our channel at zero cost to yourself. Fair winds! Chris, Rossella & Emma 😊
If ports are blocked, the block itself is no better.
Our results will be demonstrated by infrared thermometer readings on the engine...
I wan't thinking of operating temp, but blocked internal ports causing bearing wear.
Check out Levi Allen's vlog. He's great for camera tech.
Hi there, Levi is a very talented guy and his videography is superb. Thanks for the heads up. Fair winds, Chris, Rossella & Emma 😊
To find the best camera gear, go to bhphoto.com and sort for the highest rated/most reviewed. B&H has so many customers that it is probably the largest repository of customer reviews out there for photo gear. No need to buy from them, just read the reviews.
That's a good idea, thank you for the tip. 👍
I looked and this one has 5/5 star ratings. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1159518-REG/miggo_mw_sp_slr_bl_60_splat_slr_flexible_mini.html
B&H is great!!!! Customer service second to none. They are from NY, hopefully Trumps tariff wars won’t affect you to much!
Standing up? Betcha can't wait until she stands watch. Children are the greatest joy and the biggest pain in the butt you'll ever experience. You'll know what I mean when you reach my age. (^L^)
captainandthelady Baby girls are adorable and lovable, teen age girls not so much! They usually mature to be adorable and lovable again. Pull the safety belt tight and hold on!!! Regards, Dave
In England ever day is "international food festival" (because English food is the worst)
