Narrowboat Breakdown - Fixing an overheating Canal boat! 

Is that a real fire looks fake

Glad that you managed to fix those bolts, better now than later. I do not own or been near of a narrowboat so glad that you share all this :) Maybe pick smth to fix also on the engine, on the next episode. Be safe !

Nice work Edd, on the basis of watching this I'm subbed. I've lived on sea boats since 2010, maybe I'll try the canals at some point...

Don’t we all forget the gauges ,,,,that engine rocker box looks Very much like a minor 1000 thermostat housing just saying ,,GOOD LUCK

Where's the tea

it has a sea water pump that circulates sea water through the heat exchanger, there should be a sea water strainer as well.

Hi Edd, just subscribed to your Channel, looking forward to your refit. Which part of the canal system are you on at the moment? Cheers😊

Not sure about your engine but my boat has a closed cooling system so you have a pump around the engine and a raw water pump to bring the water from the sea in my case

Replace the it after all this you would dare put the old one back in .

Hi, can I advise that you coat the gasket with a light smear of silicone sealant to waterproof it. Grease the studs too. Seepage caused the corrosion that locked it in place. clean the alloy stub and apply a light smear of silicone to stop corrosion where the hoses fit. Just looking at the heat exchanger stub, I reckon a whole new set of hoses are due. It's possible that the antifreeze has become acidic, maybe flush and renew it at the same time? What are the water pump bearings like? A clean engine will show up leaks more easily.

"AF" simply means 'across flats', so 1/2 AF is literally a half inch across. 'Whitworth' have coarse threads and wouldn't fit AF threads, even if they're the same size across.

Uh oh

Loose the hoodie strings!...big problem if they get caught in a pulley while working on a motor.

That's not the worlds smallest file, a nail file would have been smaller
