Okay guys
0:02
got us a boat now we gotta guess the Christmas tree because it's November and
0:08
That's our boat right back there. I'm two weeks behind. Yeah So we'll be back we'll show you that Christmas tree we get and
0:18
Yeah, I'll show you some other things other little projects we had to do on the boat. Also, we'll be doing the DIY section on our
0:27
Channel so you can just do that. Okay guys first day on her boat and
0:33
It is a mess so She is there was a lot of wind last night
0:41
She's like the boats rocking it's gonna blow away. I know what this is
0:47
Please tell me before I throw it away. It's not a roller because it doesn't
0:56
So my babes got a mess in here. Yeah, all over the floor. They got, they bought, I don't know how many trash bags, there's spares for spares in here
1:11
I'm over here. It's going through. Got this. Got our tank system figured out
1:18
Found a coolant leak right there. I'm about to replace hose clamps
1:24
I'm seeing a bulge in that hose. This is to the hot water heater
1:28
Where it heats from the engine. I imagine I can shut this off
1:32
I like to look for that valve. And then these are just full of tons of space
1:40
tons of spares just spares of everything there's a spare starter there's I just
1:47
got hose clamped okay so I'm gonna buckle this back down I got these the hose
1:54
clamps replaced okay these are the hose clamps that came out you see this one
2:00
just came apart that one was these are pretty rusty this guy look at that it's
2:07
gone so we'll get these out here okay so back here is uh all our water tanks come in there's a
2:17
water pump i just cleaned this uh filter it had some crap in it and that is back there is our fridge
2:28
Okay, so our fridge unit does not use a seacock. It actually has air cooled
2:38
So, and they have this handy little air filter right here. Real cute
2:42
I guess at some point in this stateroom, they were going to cut in some more storage and they changed their mind
2:51
look at it again that's a horrible idea because this right here runs all the way down across here
2:59
and then there's something right here so yeah not a good idea so we just have a permit cut mark
3:06
i guess they figured that out too late okay so we have our speed our depth and then we have
3:17
That is our strainer for our AC, our AC pump. This is a bilge for the shower, which is not working
3:24
It's straining in the bilge. And then over here is a seacock for this AC
3:34
Okay, power boat life, I guess. Cleaning up water. So we thought we had a little leak on this engine, but it's mostly water down here
3:43
but if you look down here it's all right down here i pretty much got soaked up and i'm going to
3:50
just wash all this down and dry everything up so we can trace down any leaks we may have okay
3:57
now i have to clean out the main builds where the kill is and uh i see a little wire leak so i might
4:06
dig into that but it's gonna be fun let me show you what this looks like okay
4:11
down here in our this is the keel bilge look at all that yumminess mmm that
4:18
looks good so tasty so they got me a bucket and absorbent rag and I gonna be sopping it up let see if I can get some of that out there show you what it looks like after okay so we got most of
4:36
the water out and I can see the kill bolts. Kill bolts look great and yeah this
4:43
is my second container filling up but now I just I've got some Dawn down there
4:49
I just squirted a whole bunch of Dawn and I'm gonna see if I can break up this
4:53
So some more with that rag and then get another rag and hopefully I can get this
4:59
Almost looking like new. If you do see here, we do have a fresh water leak right here. I
5:06
Got I hear the the pump comes on every now and then so it's going to continue to fill up with water, but of course it won't be old and
5:15
figure out where that's coming from But it has to be on the high pressure side or the pump wouldn't be coming on
5:25
Okay, we got Pretty much all the oil out I've scrubbed it with Dawn soap and now just gonna vacuum it. Let's see if I can show a little bit of this
5:45
Okay, so So our leak is coming right there on our fresh water pump
5:53
Right there at the fitting. So you can see the water coming out
5:57
And we'll have to get that fixed. But that would be filling up our bilge eventually
6:07
Just that little leak. Okay, I took this off and this thing was starting to come apart in my hands
6:16
let's see that is looks like a screw on fitting copper see if I can put some
6:25
Teflon tape on this and get back right in the world so that's plastic that's
6:32
plastic and I'll try to tighten these That's a compression thing. Yeah
6:42
Okay, so I wrapped that up with Teflon. Look at this just so I can see it
6:46
Because I was doing this almost blind. And I think I got enough Teflon tape on there
6:52
Let me turn on water. Okay, water is on. Okay, so we turned on the pump
6:58
Okay, so we're ready to turn on the pump. Still pouring like a sift
7:06
Still pouring like a sift okay turn off okay so we got the water pump not
7:15
leaking I had to pull out the big tool but let's see turn it off
7:23
I've reached my hand around here and dried this off very good
7:33
Nothing there. And I know this isn't the right tool. That's why I used it because that thing needs to probably be replaced here soon
7:43
Okay, now you can look in the villages and there's still a little dampness down there
7:49
but it's all yummy. We also have the water leak we fixed on the fresh water. So
7:59
Bilges, we'll see what they look like in I guess a later time
8:10
Okay, so Got all the bilges clean. I think we're ready to start finding where things are leaking
8:17
So all the water is out so I can see any water is
8:23
new water. Okay, in the engine bilge, we're looking down there and
8:28
there's it's a little damp and I believe that's coming from I'll show you here on the back of the engine. So right here you see I have to
8:37
Do some repairs on the back this engine. It's not pretty and gray like the rest of it
8:42
But this hose and hose clamps needs to be replaced. I'm not seeing dampness there
8:49
But we have our dripless down here. I ain't seen dripping and
8:55
It coming coming out right there But that is the Seacock for AC and that the strainer on the aft AC so yeah I don like what they did with that pipe you
9:09
know just making more points of failure but the shift cable I'm gonna check it
9:15
out it may need to be replaced I'm gonna go through it look at see what's going
9:21
on there. Other than that, I really like this filter system. It really helps keep our fuel clean
9:33
and yeah everything's going right in the world. The big thing I like about this boat is
9:42
back here you have all access to the back of the engine. I can get all the way around and
9:48
Then up here is the front of the engine so it almost makes you feel like I'm working my engine stand versus
9:57
Down doing cars. If y'all followed me a long time, you'll know the Jeep
10:02
This is much easier to get to Okay, so we're in the aft room looking at our ship tank
10:11
so going down in here this Seacock runs our engine and I don't have the lights on
10:21
so I have my flashlight on this is our valve that goes into
10:29
our holding tank that's for pump out this right here oh sorry
10:36
this right here is I'm thinking to our macerator and this valve
10:43
right here runs to the the sink in the bathroom so that was off and we weren't
10:52
getting any water coming out. I thought it was clogged but it's not it was just the
10:58
seacock was closed so that's on this side and now I'll look on the other side
11:06
okay on the other side that is our original prop we now have a four blade on
11:13
here it has a furling system I believe this is for the spinnaker wait yeah maybe
11:21
rolling and then it has a dog kennel thingy so if we ever want to travel
11:31
That's where Bella's going. We're in the bow of the boat. This is the last place I have to look
11:39
And I've already looked under the bed. There's a hatch for the macerator
11:44
It's right over there. And then we have down here, we have a seacock for the sink in there
11:58
and wait that's the macerator right there going to right there so back over
12:10
there I lied and that's the that's the vacuum pump back over there but yeah so
12:17
then we had some plumbing fins at the back but all we have to concern ourselves
12:22
with is these two seacocks make sure they're not leaking or anything like
12:27
that which they are really dry or are they yeah they're dry okay we're cleaning
12:35
up and organizing some of this stuff and so this is what I have so far okay we've
12:44
got all this out here I'm using these kind of Tupperware things to store
12:48
things in like I've got hose clamps and stuff like that but this is more of a
12:54
record and all this up here of where I'm printing things. So this is the starboard side
13:02
back bench on the seating position. I have the water pumps, bilge pumps, floats, starters
13:14
alternator and I have a macerator down at the bottom there. So that should be organized pretty
13:23
well and it taken up half the rim it took up before okay so we finished that one over there and now we have in here we have just plumbing there a co2 plunger we got o our strainers
13:47
mostly just plumbing and hose clamps hose clamps back over there so
13:57
this is just a miscellaneous catch-all for plumbing and in-house use ok we're still
14:07
in the salon and right here is our sale bags and below that
14:15
is our bimini for the back half of the bimini that does not fit because of the solar panels
14:24
so now that we got everything found i'm ready to eat let's see what the
14:30
babe's cooking up there trying to see if we can record in this kitchen oh it's tight
14:39
so originally going to take this out but we've realized that's a bigger test than we want to
14:44
to deal with right now so we have to try to figure out something else. But this is not a recipe that
14:48
video. This is us trying to make us some dinner because we have a whole head of cabbage that we
14:54
need to do. So I'm going to stick it all in there and it's going to cook. And then we'll just slice it into steaks
15:02
Yeah, this is going to be a tight squeeze to get this cooking video on
15:08
Yeah. And plus you have the flashlight on me. Oh, I do
15:12
Yeah, I'm like staring at him. Okay, caught it. So I can stand in the bathroom and I can see you pretty good
15:23
Okay, I'm gonna have to cut this. And I don't have my cut comb
15:35
Your hair looks fine. air but we got that Christmas tree and yeah next video gonna be a few more
15:45
projects and and also we're battening down the hatches so if you hear the
15:51
winds out there it's really kicking it but we're looking at 45 knots of wind
16:06
come Friday so oh that'll be fun and you'll see all that next video and how
16:15
we prepare our boat to take on that challenge so if you like our channel go

16:39
plumbing, I've never worked with Peck's plumbing and so that's interesting. So
