New HIGH OUTPUT ALTERNATOR for our ENGINE! | YACHT REBUILD WEEK 70 

Glad you're enjoying it 😁

Thank you.

Thank you! ☺

Yes I'm watching his videos he is very talented and very smart pleasure to watch

Thank you for your kind words Luke, and may I return the complement. It was delightful to make your acquaintance and to see your skill and dedication to your work. It was very noble of you to cross the Atlantic to help fellow sailors SV Lady Africa with your expertise and time, at your own expense. Very kind indeed. I hope fate will cross our paths again. God bless you Luke.

Thanks Norman! 😊 👌🏻

Thanks for that tip my engine 1970 SAAB 10 HP Will check this and look other engines I get the misfortune to repair and will look to modify to that logic solution .

Thanks for the awesome help! 😉 You legend 😎👍🏻

Thanks so much! Appreciate it 😊

Thanks very much Tommy! 😊

Thanks so much! 😊

Thanks Wayne! 😊

Thank you! ☺ 👍🏻

Thanks Roger! 😊

Thank you! ☺

Thanks Chase! Thanks for the support! 🤗

Thank you so MUCH Andrew! 😊

Thanks so much! We can't wait either! 😊

Thanks man 😎👍🏻

😎👍🏻

Thanks for watching! We're just as excited! 😊

Thanks so much! We can't wait either! 😊

Thanks! 😊

Thanks so much Mark! 😊

I'm not doubting your abilities one little bit mate. But it was when you stated you'd get 160A charging capacity from your new alternator I thought I'd point you in the direction of Pacific Yacht Systems workshops on RU-vid. Have you checked out Jeff. His presentations ate informative, to the point and free for all yachties installing marine electrical systems. His channel is worth checking out as you are still in refit. ru-vid.com/show-UCauBG6eQkpGsEwZx6bHxHpQ

It sure is! Thanks! No we don't have any concern. The whole manifold was built out of sched 10 316 stainless steel. So I got no concern! 😊

Thank so much Allen! 😊

Thanks! 😊

Thanks so much Chris! 😊

Thanks so much! 😊

Thank! 😊 Yes it does. We put a shaft extension to align up into the pilot bearing!

Thanks so much! Appreciate it 😊

Haha that's true! Thanks 😊

very true

Thanks so much! 😊 She's getting there! How's your time line looking?

@@livingwiththemaias Time line is too long, haha! We were "planning" to sail beginning of May, but I think we are looking at at least somewhere in July. Well, you know how much work it is! By the way, what was your original planning? :-)

Our original plan was to leave beginning of this year 😂 there is no time when it comes to boats. It's done when it's done and you get there when you get there!

@@livingwiththemaias Haha! Well, we'll meet in the Carib in 2021 then!

Thanks Graham ☺

Dankie! 😊

Haha thanks 😊

tls cool hi I expect it's an old style low rpm engine. Only modern diesel run high rpm like the Yanmar 35-4500rpm. Check out the Beta diesels they use more traditional engines for their conversions that are high torque, like tractor engines which was the traditional source for marine diesel conversions.(like ford Lehman etc) Their engine probably has a max rpm of 2500 so 2000 would be a good cruising speed for the engine. Prehaps Simone will post the engine specs at some point. Cheers Warren

Thanks. The max RPM is 4000. Yes you are correct. 2000 would be for fuel savings ☺

yup Ricky 80 amp alternators battle on a single V belt and its my mission to change to a serpentine belt system for my yanmars. 160 amps will kill a single belt in no time. even with my 80s they stretch regularly.

mike smith yea we sure would , only problem is changing the crank pulley into a polyv setup. This is not the final setup just yet , we still have to tweak the design . If we can get the pulleys standard off the shelf we will surely change them 😎💪

Precisely! You know she ain't going anywhere 😂

Brian Cook never heard of that method but sounds good ! Should definitely give it a try next time

Hahaha 😂

Absolutely would do what you suggested. There will be no way to remove sludge.

The car Toyota Camary 2300 cc diesel engines that only ever got oil taken out with pump through the dip sticks often suffered drastic damage and rebuilds due to the way sludge blocked up the oil feeds. The same engines drained from sump bung and sump cover removed and cleaned were known to exceed 500,000 kilometres with syntehictic oils with normal service schedules to replace consumables like injectors and normal part replacements. I assume there are ways to wash out sumps without to remove the sump covers but offhand I don't know any ways but hopefully other experts can tell us how to do that .Many parts of the world the quality diesel oil is bad with high water content which results in corrosion especialy to sump cases. Worse again in the communist controlled EU the 7% vegetable oil mandated to be added to Diesel fuel to cut pollution lacks lubrication to keep diesel high pressure fuel pumps working properly. That results in expensive rebuilds of diesel high pressure pumps with suitable kits costing typically €200 or buying new units over €1000 a pop. From 2020 diesel fuel for marine use in most of the EU has to be more expensive road transport fuel with the 7% vegetable oil added to it . The off road marked diesel fuel for heating etc with no added bio fuels will become near impossible for boats to get . For many of my EU friends in boats who work as marina rats doing fixing of engines in boats in the EU most of the work these days is just cleaning out tanks and filters from the algae growth that bio fuels cause in modern diesel fuels on boats . The rest of the work is rebuilding or fitting high pressure fuel pumps especially for the modern inline injector types.The problems are worse for engines driven at low RPM for long periods because the excess diesel fuel is returned to the fuel tanks . The inline system subjects the bio fuel to excess heat as it passes close to cylinder heads and the heating causes the bio fuel to become corrupted .Then that unused corrupted fuel returns to the fuel tank and builds up problems .Engines run at high RPM for most of the use don't tend to suffer the bio fuel problems so much. The third word regions the Diesel fuels can suffer from added in kerosene to improve profits and the kerosene content lacks lubrication for the high pressure fuel pumps with excessive wear issues. The older type marine engines from the 1970 era with no turbo and simplex injectors are better able to deal with diesel fuel mixes where there is bio fuel or kerosene fuels or added water content included in the fuel mix .Many types of older Volvo engines seem to be able to use Perkins engine parts resulting in big saving for the same parts.

@@dcbourbonireland Was a bit of a fad years ago with home servicing mobs, think one or two engines failed and dont really see it anymore.

Haha dit is waar! Baie dankie 😊

Haha 😂 thanks so much!

Nope.. It's moer vas 😉 what's moet kunnen?

@@livingwiththemaias That's Dutch certification language. Translated it says: "It will hold till it breaks." Hehe

Haha, thanks so much Peter 👍🏻 ☺

Mazda rx7 , obviously we don’t need that much for a start battery. We have a lithium house bank
