Okay, so I came out here a day and our dingy's flat and here's what it looks like
0:04
So I've aired it up a bit but it's flat and I'm hoping that cap was just unscrewed so I'm hoping that's all it is
0:13
If that's the case, this is the easy fix. So I'm layer up and see how long it holds air
0:18
Okay, so that's aired up and time will tell if it stays aired up
0:24
So like when a ship breaks on the boat, my toilet's out again
0:29
The vacuum pump is making a weird noise. Now it's time to work in our vacuum pump that's down there. Hmm
0:37
That's what it sounds like. It sounds like it came completely loose from the pump, so hopefully that's it
0:42
Good turn off it! So I got my... I love my impact
0:47
I'm going to take the cover off this and see what's wrong with that pump
0:52
So that piece is loose and this just comes out. and there is our pump right there And we have well we only have one screw left covering the top but I take that out So I was hoping this nut had came off on the outside but it not
1:23
It almost seems like the gears, because this is a worm drive, are gone
1:29
I'm going to, I guess, pull out and see what's going on. Okay, guys, I got the pump out and the whole system, and there it is right there
1:40
And I don't see a part number on this or anything. And I do have this
1:46
I'm going to take that inside and see what I can find
1:49
But I tried to get another pump for these. It broke. And so I rebuilt the old pump
1:57
But this one, when I turn on, it's not spying this. So this feels really loose
2:04
I think the worm drive in there was fried. So we just ordered parts
2:09
pump motor for this. The worm drive on this thing stripped out. And look at it. Oh, the smell
2:20
is just delectable Down there it was smelly But so we get this fixed and hopefully this engine or motor comes in pretty soon My wife was supervising this whole situation
2:38
She was doing dishes. She was doing dishes. But she said the sun is too much to bear so she had to get herself a little bit of shade going on
2:49
Oh, she's gleaming on them. Hopefully it's, uh, Hopefully it's doing well for that little piece of solar that's getting solar panel that's getting little sun
3:03
It's actually making power with that. Hard to believe. Okay, so I'm out here mounting the solar arch and I've got clamped in place
3:15
It's about the same spot as the last one. If you see here on my dingy davits, I've moved it for
3:24
further out and probably gonna have to pick up some more stainless steel bar to get this
3:31
mounted and get it level and right but I'm gonna put a couple bolts up here in the front
3:36
and then I can adjust the back two bolts once I get some more stainless As you can see I have one of the tubes going through and I just have to drill it
3:53
And same on this side. I had to trim them tubes, those spacer tubes down, but it'll be fine
4:03
Okay, now to hold my corners on, now that I have the front semi-mounted
4:09
my mounted. I've got these little dudeads and basically they're going to look something like I have over here
4:17
So they're just mounting and they'll support the corner of this solar array and that should give it adequate support
4:26
That's coming from my hailed yard. Okay, so we got them installed
4:32
Looking pretty good. Stick a little of this never sees on because we're working with
4:38
stainless steel and aluminum. And even though probably won't hurt if it seizes all up and never comes off
4:46
because we don't want it to come off, in case we do, we got this on there
4:53
This is as far to the side as I can get on the boat, and it looks pretty level there. Let me see the other side
