Nice to see a young couple approaching a life at sea w passion, sincerity and a total lack of pretension. Love the idea of your daily video journal. It gives an immediacy and intimacy to your storytelling lacking on most sailing channels. Keep it up and get to sea and the patrons will follow. Your enthusiasm is infectious.

@ProjectManaia 6 лет назад

I agree, the daily journals are a nice feature, I do see how they eat up a lot of time though... so even more so thank you for sharing them! We are only doing them ones a week and already invest 1-2 days of editing work into the videos.... couldn't (yet) do a daily version (completely aside from connectivity problems) but maybe es my video editing skills get better ;-)

So one day down at the boat yard my buddy a really good mechanic and I watched a guy struggle for about 4 hours with no luck getting his prop off while we were busy on our boat . When he went for lunch we snuck over and popped it off for him - right tools and a tap with a hammer in the right spot and it came right off in 5 min. So we put it on the table and went back to work on our boat . The look on his face a when he came back and the elves had fixed his boat was priceless . He kept picking it up and looking around dumbfounded LOL . He eventually figured it out that it was us . A few years later my buddy needed a new shaft coupling , and that showed up by boat elves. A favor repaid . Good people .

@lastaccountbannedfortalkin1449 3 года назад

Yeah "the right tools" ? Heard that before pal, why not name them? I will happily tell all you noobs how to get props of > take the nut off, clean the shaft splines with Iso. Soon as the iso dries squirt wd40 on and leave 15mins. Get some scabby washers that fit the shaft. Put the nut back on and allow washers to touch prop body.. then use air impact gun to tighten and slacken nut till small bubbles appear in wd40 on the splines. Prop will hammer off with a block of wood. NO PROP will survive this method nomatter how stuck it is. Cheers

@faircompetition1203 3 года назад

@@lastaccountbannedfortalkin1449 I don't like hammering a prop off as the other end is attached to a transmission and delicately aligned . A good puller and a tap to shock it and they usually pop right off . Hammering off with a block of wood might sometimes be needed but as a last resort .

@thearchibaldtuttle 6 лет назад

Thanks for showing us the sunny day in a year that is called Summer in England! Emma was clearly irritated.

@jackboland9578 4 года назад

Super!! I have a small outboard (3.3 hp) that has a one piece propeller (pointed cone at the end - no nut holding it on. Just a cotter pin to secure it). I cant use a puller cause I have no center screw. Just the propeller. Your cutting off the propeller is genius. It will work for me. Thanks a million.

@SailingBritaly 4 года назад

My pleasure Jack, happy fixing! 👍

Wohoo! Nice Job Chris! We agree about safety gear! We've met so many yard guys who just don't bother with safety gear- so crazy! Gotta stay safe! Congrats on the prop! You're a champion!

@stephenmundane 6 лет назад

Thanks for taking the time to post the chain info on the other video *thumbs up*. Hope you find a bit of time to enjoy the sun.

Best of luck guys! We just left the boatyard last week, video will be out tomorrow.... lots of Boatyard work this time of the year.... Fair winds and calm seas! And best wishes from Bodrum, Turkey! SY Independence

@SailingInconceivable 6 лет назад

Cutting anything within close proximity of something that shouldn't get cut always gives me the heebie-jeebies.

@tamaralee4108 5 лет назад

Excellent video! I never would have thought that a multicutter could cut through the prop hub like that. Looking forward the next sail drive step! Greg

@SailingBritaly 5 лет назад

Hi Greg, grab yourself a beer and watch the entire saildrive job step-by-step: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-o_Bv7_tAOY4.html (Watch at 2 x speed if you're in a rush!) Cheers, Chris

Fein multitool with their E cut carbide Pro blade can cut a tank in half mate

@markbernier8434 6 лет назад

good on you for getting that spline apart. Power of hydraulics is always amazing. No shaft lapping required either YAY! Might want to double check the prop you buy. What was on the drive isn't necessarily the right prop. Lots of cases of the prop they have versus no prop when you are back of beyond. If the budget will stand it stock a spare.

@terryharms235 6 лет назад

Nice job getting the old prop off,

@lastaccountbannedfortalkin1449 3 года назад

No it wasn't. I get these off for fun just tightening and untightening the nut with a rattle gun and a few washers and wd40. Even his multitool use is diabolical and he's using the half moon blade so risks snapping the blade. Dudes not got a clue

@corybrown994 6 лет назад

wow good for you both I'm glad you got the prop of I was thing of saying yesterday that you should cut it off . wow getting closer nice see you tomorrow have a good night .my time Wa. USA 7.43 pm.

@mickobrien6360 6 лет назад

Great video, I know what tool I will be buying next.

@lastaccountbannedfortalkin1449 3 года назад

Get a proper oscillator like a Fein and get an E- cut carbide Pro blade. Dont cut the outside like a noob like you did but plunge cut in through along the same direction as the splines so you are cutting in toward the splines. As soon as you cut through about 1cm up the splines you will hear the prop make a crack noise. Hammer it off from there. Also you can get them off by shimming the nut with washers then running it on and off a few times with a powerful air impact wrench. It needs a powerful one that slaps hard because you need to tighten and slacken it repeatedly till you see bubbles appear in the wd40 on the spines.

@jonssailing 6 лет назад

Great job!

@yachticus 5 лет назад

one thing on that short shaft from the sail drive - be really careful with the amount of torque you use to tighten up prior to inserting locking screw - they are knownn for stretching then fracturing the threaded end - ultimately resulting in failure

@almath9987 6 лет назад

Thanks great video hats off to the both of you we have a 5 year old and it hard work keep him occupied while try to work on the boat. Got to admit would have went straight for the angle grinder however you opened my eyes to the multi tool. What material was the prop you cut?

@rmhollin25 6 лет назад

nice job , you guys deserve a break !

@svhappymondays9123 6 лет назад

Great stuff so satisfying when boat work comes together one question isolating tool or grinder ? I need to get one or the other

@michaelmulryan2889 6 лет назад

Good work! DIY Sailors always find plan A won't work out. Re think and Re tool! Can you share the name of the multi-tool? Fair winds, Capt Mike

@lastaccountbannedfortalkin1449 3 года назад

Fein is the only multitool you ever want to buy. The rest last 3yr max in industrial use. Cheers

@paulfennell01 3 года назад

If you had to cut the inner hub off would you have any tips on how you would have done that?

@SailingBritaly 3 года назад

Hi Paul, I probably would have cut along the hub longitudinally with the multi-cutter four times, at 90 degree intervals as far down as far possible without going down to the SS shaft below, then I'd have inserted a flat blade screwdriver into the cuts and applied a twisting force to the handle in order to lever the cut sections apart and off the shaft. The cuts would concentrate the force applied onto the base of the cuts and these would act as stress-raisers. I imagine it wouldn't be too hard to induce cracks which would then allow the four hub sections to be removed from the shaft. Cheers, Chris

Nice job

@bfett6 5 лет назад

I'm confused (not unusual) - what part of that puller is hydraulic? It looks mechanical to me ...

@SailingBritaly 5 лет назад

Hi Bob, it's definitely hydraulic: this is a cheaper version of the same type of puller: amzn.to/2TMVqGH It looks mechanical, but as you wind in the small diameter threaded handle, a small diameter 'piston' is moved towards the object to be pulled, this is then tranferred via the hydraulic fluid to a larger diameter ram. As Pressure = Force x Area, the larger diameter ram moves a smaller distance, but with much more force. This is why you can apply 9000 kg (circa 20000 lbs) of force very easily with a puller like this. I bet you weren't expecting such a comprehensive reply, but I'm an ex-aircraft technician and have worked with hydraulics for a long time now, so I thought I might as well answer your question properly! Cheers, Chris 👍

@gordiebrooks 5 лет назад

Glasses when using the multi tool 😲

@SailingBritaly 5 лет назад

Yes you're right John... A multi tool is nothing like a grinder and the tiny swarf it produces tends to harmlessly fall straight down, however, you are right and the safety specs should be worn regardless, as vision is one thing you shouldn't risk. Cheers, Chris 👍

@lastaccountbannedfortalkin1449 3 года назад

Always some goon banging on about safety specks

@wyrtwister4260 6 лет назад

Try some anti-seize on the prop shaft . Wyr God bless

@lastaccountbannedfortalkin1449 3 года назад

Huh? Anti-seize is for on the way on not if its stuck already so your telling him how to refit the thing, also you don't use anti-seize on outboard prop shafts you goon you use Lical grease or similar lithium and calcium grease. Maybe learn what you are doing pal before spouting pointless advice
