Join the crew as we take our first trip to Cabbage Key in Southwest Florida after Hurricane Ian.
The plan for this trip is to find an anchorage near Cabbage Key to stay the night and dinghy over to the restaurant for lunch. We get to see the lingering effects of the storm and a 3 boat raft up tow of damaged boats along the intracoastal waterway. We end up snagging a slip on arrival to Cabbage Key due to the help of the excellent dock master Jonathan. We tour the island a bit, look for the teenage mutant ninja turtles and check out the famous dollar bill room in the restaurant where past visitors sign and hang dollar bills from the walls and ceiling. We of course add one of our own!
Follow along on the adventures of “”Happy Ours”, our 2006 341 Meridian Sport bridge motor yacht as we travel the waters in and around Southwest Florida.
In part 2, we drop anchor for the night, dinghy to shore and run into mechanical troubles on our way back home the following day. Stay tuned!

We made that destination a few weeks ago, it was a much busier day but the dock master did a great job fitting everyone in a spot. It would be great to have the bigger boat down here to overnight. Lots of winds lately, keeping us close to home.

New content!! Great we love cabbage key well keep an eye out for ya next time keep coming north some nice sandbars and dock n dines were outta Gasparilla now. I’m assuming the Meridian has crossover cooling for the shaft seals?
@AdventuresofHappyOurs
@AdventuresofHappyOurs Год назад
We’ve boated out of Gaspirilla marina on Brigitt’s dads boat. Love Stump Pass! And yes, the meridian has shaft seal cooling.

Great video! As a travelling boater to the cape coral area, i find it extremely helpful to see the approach and docking area of cabbage key. We are planning to take the 24’ Hurricane up from CC on Wednesday. What is the customary tip to offer the dock hand? ❤
@AdventuresofHappyOurs
@AdventuresofHappyOurs Год назад
I guess it depends. I’d give more for larger boats and difficult docking if the dockhand got you in ok. Smaller boats less so. I’d say $10 is reasonable.

Nice to see you guys back up and cruising after the hurricane. Hey, a question for you: when you run on 1 engine do you leave the other transmission in Neutral with the prop freewheeling or to you put it in Forward? I was thinking of doing same when we are going slow. I've got velvet drive transmissions, not sure how they like prop freewheeling. Thanks for your videos! They get me through the long winters up here on Georgian Bay in Ontario
@Prototheria
@Prototheria Год назад
VD's can be back driven provided you're at or below hull speed. Just be sure to install a shaft collar before you do.
@AdventuresofHappyOurs
@AdventuresofHappyOurs Год назад
Check your transmission manual. Ours is ok to free wheel. They are Velvet Drives. 71c and 72c are ok to freewheel. Slow speeds are fine and don’t need shaft seal cooling at hull speeds.
@AdventuresofHappyOurs

Shaft collar?
@Prototheria
@Prototheria Год назад
@@AdventuresofHappyOurs Odd... it doesn't appear like my comment went through. Here ya go again. A shaft collar goes on the prop shaft to prevent the shaft from being pulled out of the boat if it slips free of the coupler. I personally see it as a million to one odds of that happening, but it's a cheap way to mitigate one of the many "what if"s.
@AdventuresofHappyOurs
@AdventuresofHappyOurs Год назад
Ok got it! The PSS shaft seals have a stainless collar on the shaft that is secured with set screws. That would hopefully prevent that. I check the coupler bolts a couple times a year as we found them loose early last year or so.

Hi sorry for bothering you. It is the following: I had seen a video talking about the Mercuiser engine which was not above 3000 rpm when it was running, but if it was stopped it was above 3000 rpm. Could you tell me if you managed to overcome the same problem? And what is the procedure to be to make the same boat return to normal. I've already changed almost everything, even the electronic schematic of the other boat I put it in and I still wasn't successful, I don't know what to do anymore, please give me a tip!
@AdventuresofHappyOurs
@AdventuresofHappyOurs Год назад
I suppose you mean you can’t get your engine over 3000 rpm when it is in gear. It could be a fouled or bent prop bottom or running gear. Check all that first.

@@AdventuresofHappyOursYes, I wanted to say exactly that, bro I already changed the electrical circuit of another bar and nothing happened. thanks for the tip. By the way: I know it's asking a lot, but I'm new to the area of ​​nautical mechanics, could you give me your email? I will really need your help 😂 I am Angolan

You need to stop running on one motor Your doing more harm then good to the motor your running and putting a lot of stress on the steering system

No it’s fine. I am running no more than 2000 rpm. I got this tip from a looper that ran his boat this way for most of the great loop with no problems.
