"Old boats" are a great way to meet "new" friends. Thanks for taking us along!

@YachtHunters Год назад

Agreed… it’s a nice benefit I hadn’t thought much about 👍 cheers!

@karaDee2363 Год назад

That sure is the truth!.. I made so many great friends at the marina when I was restoring an old boat... And benefited from all the years of experience they had...

@jerrym3261 Год назад

First! 10 to 24 hour passage, sailors don't have plans, they have intentions. Go, Randy!

@andrewwood3043 Год назад

West Marine sells a nice hand pump vacuum oil change container that you only have to pump a few times, and will hold six or more quarts. It also has a small tube you can likely stick down your dipstick. Great video thank you for posting.

@petervanderwaart1138 Год назад

I use one for my little Yanmar. The pump removes air from the device, and suction pulls up the oil.

@LikeOnATree Год назад

Yes, I've got one of these too, makes the process much easier!

@theoriginalarchlich Год назад

Skip the hand pump and get the electric one. Worth its weight in gold.

@nfk6869 Год назад

Defender has the Marpac fluid extractor which is similar, Randee must get himself one. I do not like the electric ones I've used.

@chrisstratton987 Год назад

Randle, Your vids are legit masterpieces. Swinging from diesel fuel filters to placid sea-scapes topped with jazz piano is pure joy for boat geeks like me. Moses's boat, damn sweet.

Always a good day with Ran-DAY! ⛵️

@carlcarlamos9055 Год назад

Glad to see you are making some headway against some of the things that have been let go, or forgotten, as the boat has been idled. Addressing corners that have been cut as well. You’re learning the boat, and learning new skills, and hopefully reducing your stress level by participating in something different than you do in your workday life. Keep good records, that will help in the future. Thanks for bringing us along on your journey. Take care.

@YachtHunters Год назад

Well said, Carl... that's exactly right... stress goes down with each passing week of familiarity and hobby puzzle-solving. I truly enjoy being on it and planning how to make it better.... and then planning to go for some beautiful sailing where the motor can go quietly along for the ride. Good point about the record keeping... thankfully shooting videos really helps me keep track of things too...

@kylegresham5905 Год назад

This is a very cool video Ran-day...thanks for showing all the details of getting your old boat ready to go to sea

@svinevitable Год назад

Randall, Thank you. Your level of communication is astounding. You're articulate and intelligent, and we appreciate all your efforts with both aspects of the channel. Thank you for sharing your experiences with new (to you) boat ownership and with Captain Q! Your honest and sometimes self-deprecating delivery helps bring the humor out of quite frustrating events. We are new owners of a Liberty 458 in Kemah, TX. It seems as though there are new revelations, daily, about the actions of the P.O. Keep 'em coming! I'm sure it doesn't pay the bills, but y'all are VERY entertaining!

@PastorwithoutaPulpit Год назад

Ran-Day you really did pick a beautiful and capable vessel, she's definitely a head turner. Well laid out deck side and the interior is just gorgeous I can't wait to see what you do with her. I'm really hoping to see you head down to the islands for a season and hopefully you'll share some of your and your families adventures. I really, really hope Captain Q is up to going with or at least visiting for a week or so while your there. Can you imagine what we could learn just while your at anchorage with all the different vessels you'll see and the Captain's expansive knowledge? I'm happy to see the first leg went so well and wish nothing but the best for you and your's. Fair winds, following seas, safe travels and God Bless...

@YachtHunters Год назад

Thanks very much… I’ve got a decent to do list before heading too far off shore but I am determined to get cracking at it and head some some topaz blue waters!!

Good tips. Utilizing the “Rubber Wire” to secure for filling oil into the funnel was a great tip! And other good tips. Thanks Ran-Day!

@anthonyelam2257 Год назад

You have such a beautiful sailboat ... the layout is perfect ... the cost of docking in marinas is so high ... awful that it cost so much ... but watching you sail with Capt Q is priceless ... Thank you for teaching me and as always will be ready to watch next video ... 😊😊😊 ...

That is a great checklist Ran-day for getting ready to move her. I sold my Pacific Seacraft Flicka #412 Dulcinea. I am closing next week on our new purchase of Stardust #115 a 2005, 31’ Pacific Seacraft. I did all required surveys, and ALL vessels need maintenance no matter how new they are. I

@@YachtHunters Thank You Captain Q and Ran-day! We love your show. We are excited to have the 31’. It’s like a big Dana with a large quarter birth and a big head. It will be different to have a helm instead of a tiller. No more unending torque with the tiller just finger Steering at best.

Nice to see you´re willing to share your walk up the "ownership" curve and still have such fun. Hope your jewel of a Shannon 43 provides those memorable journeys that will later have you as good-natured as CQ. Stay happy and healthy and don´t let the "algorithms" change your style!

As with all things in life preparation is the key to success! If you over prepare yourself nothing can be denied you! Glad to see the preventive maintenance I have travelled around the world on motorcycles. I’ve watched many people that did not do a good prepping and did not perform good timely maintenance. They had a very frustrating and dangerous existence. I don’t know you but I’m proud of you!

@YachtHunters Год назад

Much appreciated! Thanks, Ray!

@paulschumacker9901 Год назад

This is great! I really like the somewhat more detailed journey through the repair processes and the additional info on what these steps cost. Finally, your trepidation in anticipation of the inaugural voyage, despite your best efforts to preemptively prepare for the worst, really resonated with me. You try to think of everything, but in the end you know you can’t. Bravo!

@YachtHunters Год назад

Well said, Paul. You can prep and have some contingencies… but you just never know… especially with older boats. Lots of fun getting through the learning curve!

@valerieb.4912 Год назад

Ran-day, I was starting to get worried about you. That you might had given up on your “ Old Boat Endeavors”. So so glad you did not. I am watching every single episode to learn on what I have to do when I am in the market to buy a good old sailboat ⛵️. Keep those episodes coming. Happy Sailing.

@YachtHunters Год назад

Well, she’s a Scheel aspiring to be a Shannon 😁 speaking of Shannon… stay tuned!! Cheers!

@1991pony Год назад

Hi Randy. For oil changes, maybe buy a deep well socket with a magnetic insert and appropriate length extension to get at the dip stick nut. That should make changing oil much easier. Someone else mentioned a small electric transfer pump. That will cut oil change time and effort down to a couple of hours instead of all day.

@YachtHunters Год назад

I like the sound of a magnet insert… great tip. Thanks!! 👍👍

@seanwalsh999 Год назад

Ran-day you seem a lot more comfortable with the whole old boat experience, I guess having freted over a possible hurricane, standard boat maintenance seems like the least of your worries.

@scyz2807 Год назад

Thanks for taking us along on your OLD Sailboat renovation adventures. My sailboat was made in December of 1972 and at only 20 feet has no internal engine (has a 4 hp outboard) and almost no electrical system. She was in very nice condition when I got her so "Maintenance on an old boat, . . . what is that?" is how I think. But if I ever get a bigger sailboat, then what I'm watching here could become useful. : - )

@elijahmerrill9045 Год назад

I spy with my little eye: the old B&M Baked Bean factory?

Sea tow is by far, the best value for the money you can buy for a boat.

Thanks very much, Robert! It’s been truly fun getting through the initial stages of ownership and familiarity with it…

@PeterMiller-cz8pd Год назад

Great video RanDay. I use a Pela pump to remove oil. Rather than directly pumpping oil, your pump creates a vacuum in the reservoir. You pump until you've created a decent vacuum and leave it while it continues to slowly draw under vacuum.

@patrickcwillis Год назад

Excellent episode!! I totally appreciate how you prepare your boat for this journey. I do the same, especially with a new (older) boat. I want to know as much as possibly can as I adventure out. All that prep and readiness is part of the joy. Thanks for sharing

@YachtHunters Год назад

couldn't agree more.... the prep and familiarity reduces stress with each hour spent monkeying around the engine room and in the bilges. lots more puzzles to solve but it is a joy to work on it and make it better. cheers!

@teknotikpointbiz Год назад

buy a vacuum pump for the oil way easier ! it works better than the electric ones, safer too I had a customer who put an electric one while changing the oil on a brand new fontaine pat Athena 38 with the engine under the berths he went away when he came back the hose in the empty jug had gotten away and it spayed the white skai cabin with oil everywhere ! I had to change entire cabin ! thank you randy showing people how hard but rewarding those jobs can be !

@friarfox Год назад

Ran-day! You finally got to see a Hans Christian up close. I hope CaptainQ does a tour of that boat and that Moses let's it happen. I have to say you are super thorough with your prep and I would absolutely feel safe sailing with you. That engine space is not the most user friendly. Hope you get some drone footage on your boat sailing. Happy St. Patrick's folks.

@YachtHunters Год назад

Thanks, Friar! Yes, we'd love to go check out Moses' HC44 up close... it's described as 'whimsical' and has a very unique interior layout. He has ambitions to sail the world on it and has set his plans in motion... as far as drone footage goes, I'm still a little apprehensive landing it while sailing (which has mostly been short-handed sailing without a working autopilot) so most shots you'll see are her on a mooring or at the dock.... I'm rebuilding the courage and this year I'll definitely get more of her underway. She's going to look sparkling with all the work that I've been logging. Cheers

@keithdavis8081 Год назад

Changing the oil is my second most hated job on my Hunter 36,(second place to head pump rebuilding). After 19 years I have it down to about an hour using a hand pump for the 3 quarts. Also, I learned that disposable diapers are great for catching the oil when removing the old filter, and one package of 20 diapers lasts for years.

@curtisfoster4687 Год назад

Randy, really enjoy your videos..I loved this boat since the first time I saw you and the captain do the original survey on it a year or so ago.. it was when I first started looking at boats and when I saw this boat I thought man this one’s perfect.Even though I didn’t obviously end up with this boat. I’m glad I get to watch you work on it and learn more about it and see it in your videos. Keep up the good work and looking forward to your next video..

Get an electric oil transfer pump! Have plenty of oil and filters on hand as spares. I went through 6 fuel filters on delivery from Ft. Lauderdale to Nassau on a 34 ft sailboat, that had bad fuel. You won't regret this. If it's too hard to do a task you'll just put it off. Start buying spare parts. Water pump, oil cooler, belts, generator, hoses, and hose clamps.

@YachtHunters Год назад

Great advice… I do have spares of most of those… even the big water pump… I did finally break down and get an electric pump (frugality lost out) to encourage me to do more changes. Cheers

Thanks for the update. A segment on fueling would be a plus. Types of diesel, additives, how to keep it clean, backups to consider. Perhaps something should be added to help clean out the oil system? I think maybe a quart of oil with automatic transmission fluid and run it a few minutes? Don't trust me alone on that.

7:03 Good job filling your generator from the side fill port. Never fill those engines from the valve cover fill port. Had many engines come in that wouldn’t run after a simple service. Found the failure to be bent connecting rods caused by a worn overhead that allowed the new oil to pass by the valve seals and guides and into the combustion chambers. If your engine doesn’t have the side fill port, pour the oil very slowly into the overhead. Don’t allow it to fill.
