Robbo is an absolute star, what a great friend you’ve got there

@davidbarlow4454 4 месяца назад

How you two/three keep going is beyond me. Such strength and a brilliant partnership. Chin up or what ever we say

@user-tw8dl2jh2x 4 месяца назад

You know we all know you comment on your own videos? We're your fans, you will only lose us by being greedy

@johntovey3928 4 месяца назад

Robbo is a life saver , how nice to have friends like him.

@eblast105 4 месяца назад

Your face at 23:17 when the engine fell off is classic and had me in tears.. Chin up guys you’re amazing and doing a stellar job.

@whitneylake2107 4 месяца назад

I have never seen a small outboard snap off due to bad metal ! That was weird - and a flat tire too ! Yet you guys keep plowing through the messes and getting things done. My hat's off to you and Robbo !

@user-rb9cn8xj4e 4 месяца назад

I HAVE seen an outboard motor bracket break. A total of seven times! The first time was when I watched this video. Then, I backed it up and rewatched it six more times! Seems almost like a common occurrence now.😉

@mattkabful 4 месяца назад

You guys are Amazing!!! Love to watch you combat adversity - you do such a great job. The Engine room looks Fantastic!

@Goldie644 4 месяца назад

Stick some flourescent tape on the microphones - make them easier to find next time ;)

@davidelliott5843 4 месяца назад

Put a security card lanyard on each mic as a safety “wire”. At least you’ll feel the tug when the clamps itself to another metal lump.

@billmoran3812 4 месяца назад

Some days, you just can’t win. We all can sympathize. Been there.

@danielbuxton2656 4 месяца назад

Hello from Dayton Ohio , home of the Wright Brothers . When the engine fell off I could immediately relate to Simon's predicament . I do so enjoy watching your adventure with your boats ! Keep on keeping on .

@pageant1fd 4 месяца назад

Annually you could put out a whole vlog of all that went wrong….but you’ve managed it in one day ! Thanks for sharing.

@loveoracle8797 4 месяца назад

What a day! Ship realy does happen

@SailorAllan 4 месяца назад

on my American mni-van the spare tyre ( lol) was underneath up front by the seats. it actually had a little winch to lower the tire down -but it rusted so bad I had to have a man lift the whole van, cut the cable to release the tire. now carry spare inside the van. flats happen !

@ariepols 4 месяца назад

wauw! how is it possible that after all these trouble you still be laughin and have fun.....

@philhermetic 4 месяца назад

Cleaning the bilges is vitally important, if you start taking water and the bilge pump blocks with dirt and debris, you are literally sunk!! Excellent work! Phil

@everestyeti 4 месяца назад

On the days when everything is goes wrong, just remember all those happy when everything goes right. All you have to do is also realise that your both safe, well and happy. 👍

Confucious say woman who has hole in bucket gets to kitchen with no water yet a £300 microfone can give so much joy you bounce from one catastrphe to another but never fail to put a smile on our faces And for that we salute you Keep doing what you doing and keep safe tender love and saltwater in ya bilges

@robinvoice-ln4rh 4 месяца назад

Couple of suggestions: Shop vac, 1 brush and clean the drum filter. 2. Double up a pair of tights and stretch over the filter, tie or cut off the excess length. 3 use a light brush from time to time to sweep the filter assembly clean, most dust etc will anyway fall into the container. Gluing wood. In the aircraft world we are very interested in good glue joints, the adhesive of choice is ' Aerolite or Aerodux' , look them up, cheap and very easy to use. Robin

@JamesHardiman99 4 месяца назад

Wow! That was one chapter of horrors. You now deserve a relaxing holiday somewhere warm!

@edwardhaigh4249 4 месяца назад

Im still 😂 you two have made my day,that outboard going for a swim then Simons laughing got me going,im going to rewind it now thats gold😅

@duaneayers6117 4 месяца назад

I've already wondered what a boat motor would look like if it came off the boat. Now I know. lol

@KieranMckean 4 месяца назад

Hey ! Your getting the boat all wet ! 😂🚿

@jannerkev 4 месяца назад

What a nightmare week. No wonder your called ship happened. Glad your all good.

@vivanasperen3339 4 месяца назад

I keep a torque wrench/socket with a 18inch handle so as to never deal with this kind of tire removal. It’s way easier than dealing with this kind of tire removal. It’s the hard times that certainly bring out your grit!!!! Courage on word peeps!

@davidelliott5843 4 месяца назад

I have an extending tyre socket in the car. It’s about 20” at full length. Slips down to 12” for storage.

@guyvessieres8902 4 месяца назад

Que du bonheur à regarder. Toujours de bonne humeur et motivés. Bizarre le support du moteur qui casse. Quelle journée les amis. Bravo pour votre courage.

@donwilson6617 4 месяца назад

In my Navy days I was a Machinist Mate (A ganger) on fast attack Diesel and Nuke submarines. I have spent many hours in the bilges but never have I seen a bilge that looks a good as the one on your boat. Amazing condition...

@oskarjohanrevheim2828 4 месяца назад

Every week I'm looking forward to your videos. love them

@steventoby3768 4 месяца назад

Well, as an elderly racing tactician once replied when I asked how the crew broke so many things while I wasn't on board, "we found entirely new ways to screw up." He admitted to being 68 years old so "entirely new" had a lot of meaning. I've ruined two outboards myself but never managed to break that bracket that holds them on, it's really strong. Did you hit something underwater? That was what caused one of my outboard adventures. But it didn't seem like the boat was even moving! Loved the search for the magnetic mike.

@petetibbs6103 4 месяца назад

Simon you are a genius using the jack to stabilize to tire wrench.

@theworldisyours5831 2 месяца назад

30 sec in I was on the edge of my seat! 😱 Always cut away from you! 51 years of age learning from my mistakes cutting a cable tie, downwards, stuck a 4In blade in my inner leg just above the knee... Back tae video now...😀 keep save...

@marklapierre5629 4 месяца назад

Yes Gemma, talking about wires on the boat, some day you will have to trace out all that wiring and decide what's no longer used so you can rip it out. That will make maintaining what's actually needed a lot easier in the future.

@lorettaparks673 3 месяца назад

I’m sorry that the day was rotten! Glad you found your mike!

@AndrewJackson-mf5qp 4 месяца назад

Hi Guys, This week has been so entertaining with all the ship happening. The look on Simon's face when the engine took a trip in the tide. That was a crack up as I thought I was the only one to have that ship happen too. Saw that happen to 2 Girls on youtube going flat out and the engine fell off. They had the same look as Simon after that happened. Stunned mullets. What a bugger of a time you had this week. Fortunately it all happens at once and misfortunes not spread out over time. You Guys just rock in so many ways and I love, love watching your weekly vids.

@markclifton14 4 месяца назад

I’ve had days like this. When the engine fell off I just couldn’t stop laughing. It’s like it was destined to happen. If you didn’t laugh your would cry, even though it wasn’t funny because it’s knacked the engine. It was one problem after another. But you conquered and came good. Well done guys. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

@MrMattDat 4 месяца назад

OK Simon, I have one recommendation for you: invest in an inexpensive set of lug nut sockets, wrench, breaker bar and 12v inflator. Short money and makes changing a tire soooo much easier!

@kevin-vt7dw 4 месяца назад

That was funny watching it go in circles

@rolandtb3 3 месяца назад

Robbo's room is cleaning up fine. Good luck recovering the engine and bracket. Monitoring the power. Gemma looking for £300.

@glenlockyer775 4 месяца назад

Put "tiles" on your mikes. I use these on my keys, if you "mislay" them you can call them from your phone and it'll play a little tune to help you find it/them! You're welcome x

@chox2001 4 месяца назад

I think the microphones need a lanyard on them to keep them connected to your clothing.

@SmallSailboatCruising 4 месяца назад

Loved the mic segment. I jumped overboard to keep Sarah Ann off the rocks. Those mics don’t like salt water!!!! 😢saved the boat though. Love your work. And then you lost yours again!!!

@mariastaples638 3 месяца назад

Hello crew looking forward to seeing the engine room done and painted she's looking good ☺️ awesome job crew yes you had a bad day today 😕 but good days are coming back soon 😊😊😊😊

@robf9931 4 месяца назад

Don't let things go from bad to worse. The spare is illegal and needs replacing. I don't want to see you guys getting nicked after the day you've had. Keep up the good work .

@AM-pl2pt 4 месяца назад

When it rains….. LOL You two are unstoppable!

@AM-pl2pt 4 месяца назад

Pretty inventive with the lug wrench.!!

@AM-pl2pt 4 месяца назад

Suggest you invest in a T-Bar lug wrench and a cheater pipe.

@pagegreer5081 4 месяца назад

@beingatliberty 4 месяца назад

You had one of those bad months in 1 day, you got the bad luck out the way should be relatively plain sailing for a while. Best wishes and power to your elbows.

@marcellebaudry5786 4 месяца назад

bravo courage pierrot 87 ans paris

@michaelheimbrand5424 4 месяца назад

Yep, you had one of those days. I very much know the feeling. It kinda went all the way to 11 when the outboard left the chat. Thanks for a very good laugh there. Usually I need the full power of my old Citroën´s, 70´s bus, old house and my work in IT to have a day like that. You did it with just some tools, a van and an outboard. Quite an achievement.

@richardstoc 4 месяца назад

I really like the old wood interior I do hope you keep it some of the 80's style layout it looked so good but I'm sure it will be stylish no matter what you choose to do. crack on !

@alan-sk7ky 4 месяца назад

4:15 Gemma don't stick the brush directly into the roust stop decant some out into a spraycan lid or something. As you paint it on and dip he brush repeatedly into the bottle you will be inhibiting the chemical action of the rust killer with rusty contaminates. 😉

@terrybull1043 4 месяца назад

Gemma’s favourite job getting down and dirty 😂❤

@elliecallick2999 4 месяца назад

Nice to see Robbo. Keep up the good work.

Hello Gemma and Simon,what can i say but brilliant you just carry on regardless whatever the situation.I love it.Cheers Roly 🇬🇧.

@rogerhiggins6599 4 месяца назад

Rusty back wheel that's what happens when the stern of the van goes in the drink as in previous episode LOL

@DG-ig9xy 4 месяца назад

That was a first for me too Simon..there must have been a weak spot in the mounting bracket...get a Yamaha!!

@samphillips8322 4 месяца назад

I was just thinking how much the two of you deserve a break when the van has a flat. A big Thank You for showing the scissor jack brace for the socket extension. I have had that happen before. Most wheel lugs are around 100 F-P but the boys in the tire store will sometimes forget to adjust their pneumatic tools and you end up with lug nuts almost welded to the studs. That trick is a real help. We have all made it through another winter. Hope you have a good season ahead and keep well.

@foxstrangler 4 месяца назад

Yes, spot of genius that. Although I have extending wheel braces in my vehicles.

@steventoby3768 4 месяца назад

New one for me, I'm too old to change a tire with the wretched little wrenches and jacks that come with today's cars. But it shows that having the flat tire didn't stop Simon's brain from working! Good going!

@carltontweedle5724 4 месяца назад

I have seen outboards fall off before normally not tight. But snapping that was odd. Also getting a flat. When you get a day like that it is a beer or three time. Relax or bash on and end up banging your head against the wall. I ken if 2 things go wrong short it tomorrow. That is unless the boat is sinking.

@mikegayda715 4 месяца назад

You guys inspire us and that motor mount looks like that cheap metal, but it still shouldn’t break 😢

@bruceyoung1343 4 месяца назад

Yesterday I was cutting the back yard grass. I directed mower where to go an I went over top a termite canister in the ground. Don’t you know I clipped one with mower blade. It shattered. Ugh 😩. Then I’m in the shed and had to move a small grill propane tank. I was bent over to do this. And when I stood up, I caught my shirt pocket on snow blower handle and ripped the pocket half off. It was not a good day. So we all have them now and then

@user-xq6me6pd7q 4 месяца назад

Tyre was only flat at the bottom so it should be okay for all but 45 degrees of rotation!

@BadgerBishop 3 месяца назад

I'm waiting for the re-wiring episode where you get to work around wood to get your wiring done.

@brucerazor5202 4 месяца назад

I can’t believe how much work you guys have to do to put out these videos, 👍

@mikeskelly2356 4 месяца назад

Tie a cord to the mike and on the other end tie a spring clamp, then clip it to your hoodie. The tether will alert you if the mike gets dislodged... I learned the hard way to tie off hats, glasses and keys when on board, I really miss that hat...Those flat panels in 'Robbo's Cabin', where they raised the 'roof', would make a nice place to site a porthole for some natural light and ventilation. 😎

@petemathers3481 4 месяца назад

Traveled up from Eastbourne to see my mum who is only a few mikes away from the boat so I sneaked down to the shoreline to see it. Okay it was a grrr week but she looks good in person so keep going

@troystallard6895 4 месяца назад

clever, using the jack as support for the lug wrench.

@markhuston9250 4 месяца назад

Just gotta love Simons laugh………..I always enjoy giggling along with him. Thx for the sharing.

@ShipHappensUK 4 месяца назад

Glad you enjoyed it

@buffplums 4 месяца назад

What’s going to make it hard to find the mic is that they might have ALC automatic level control which effectively keeps the level constant for a range of signal levels. Ideally you might have needed to somehow listen to the mic and apply a directional sound … speak through a cardboard tube whilst pointing towards and pointing away and then doing the same at different locations and it is more likely you will be able to centre the the location of the mic.

@Melokia51 4 месяца назад

@normmcrae1140 4 месяца назад

They say bad things happens in three's..... Hopefully the Mic problems, Flat tire and outboard are the three that complete the cycle! Hopefully you can salvage the outboard!

@jonwallace7015 4 месяца назад

Always carry a power bar buddy.great for changing tyres and even better for protection from thieves and road trolls

@ebutuoyotwen 4 месяца назад

On the engine rooms that I have worked in, none being wood FYI, all penetrations were fire caulked to minimize noxious fume and fire spread. Also, 3M used to make fire block expanding foam for larger gaps. I have used these products on land based projects as well. They are not perfect but do offer protection and safety compliance in many situations.

@andyguy0610 4 месяца назад

HI both, life throws those days at you when you just want to go home, get into bed, pull the duvet over your head and say "F*ck It" 😁. Just remember when your are out cruising on Sarinda you will look back on these days and have a good laugh. One thing I would love to know is what was the expected lifespan of Sarinda's class of ship? Many vessels built during wars are built for speed of construction to fill a need and not necessarily to last a long while.

@ShipHappensUK 4 месяца назад

I think HDMLs were designed to last 5 years!

@Tron1731 4 месяца назад

Them long boat house boats made of steel look easy now , i been watching you 2 since the beginning ❤ keep up the work the more you do, the closer you get deck next i hope so that sooner you get her water tight the better

You have a new entrance sequence: big letters on screen, SHIP HAPPENS, followed by yhe outboard driving itself to the bottom.

@jonvon9250 4 месяца назад

@nigelw2501 4 месяца назад

Had the outboard fall off once. Immediately ran it and it was fine but was stolen several weeks later! Insurance paid for most of a new one 😊

@lvlndco 4 месяца назад

How funny, looking back at the stabilizer bit you can see it was working its way off the clip and about ready to fall off. Then Gemma reaches further down for some rubbish and that's when it made the great escape. At least the mic has a strong magnet!
