Suzuki Engine Servicing, Fitting A Shurflo Wash down Kit and A DIY Bimini for £24!! 

"Two high quality nuts" - Gemma and Simon! 😂

My cheap mod to the canopy would be a couple of tennis balls with holes drilled to fit the FWD poles

Great job with the canopy but put elbows on the plastic pipe to help stop the pipe going through the sheet. Good luck with the fishing and hope you win the boat 😉

If you glue some caps on the ends of the pvc pipes it'll help keep them from tearing holes in your tarp. And maybe paint those poles to match your boat. She still looks super awesome! 👌 Edit: I just now read the dozens of other comments about capping the pipes! 🤷‍♂️

If I were you I'd get a wooden bung made for the through holes for just in case kept alongside a mallet to see it home. Boat looks amazing ..

Put another piece of white pipe between the 2 white pipes connected with elbows. That way you are pulling the tarp over a bar, and therefore much less likely to rip or tear.

If you put two right angle fittings and a connecting tube between the two front supports, it will prevent punching a hole in the bimini a bit better. Would not have to be glued to the uprights, just the ends of the cross piece.

Off topic but we spent part of our honeymoon in the UK, side trip to Albert Dock, Beatles Tour and all. Lovely memory!

Given what you have done with this small outboard (and what you routinely do with your camper conversions) I just CANNOT WAIT to to how you trick out Sarinda after you slog through a few years of rebuilding her bones. I can see where you are going and it is a clever strategy to build credibility and sponsor relationships with (relatively) small projects like this fishing boat. Sarinda will be MAGNIFICENT when you finally finish her, and you will have established yourselves as a RU-vid channel to be reckoned with. Look out, Riley and Eleyna on La Vagabonde. The Liverpudlians are coming for you!

Brilliant Sunshade idea. Suggestion, put on every white tube an elbow directing back it will safe the tarp. Cheers Marc

Just goes to show you don’t have to buy stuff for a particular job. Something simple as a Bimini should be kept simple. Well done.

Two 90 degree ells and a short PVC pipe can link the forward poles together, preventing wear on the tarp and reducing flapping in the wind. They dont need glue except where the ells join the cross piece, the tarp should hold it down fine.

Please don’t make fun of sunshade on boats! I grew up in Florida, USA. I worked outside at landscaping w/o shade for 10 yr. I now spend a significant amount of time with my dermatologist, skin surgery and fluorouacil. Thx for bringing us along. 😊😊😊 John Ken

Looking very comfortable and sea worthy……..happy sailing and good luck on the fishing contest………..🎣⚓️🎏🎣⚓️🎏🎣⚓️🎏🎣⚓️🎏👍👏👍👏👍👏👍👏👍

That’s a fast boat! And she’s looking quite sporty.

Good canopy, but maybe take the pressure off the cover and get two elbows with a piece of pipe across the middle section making a C frame. Not glued as the pressure of the cover will keep it together when pulled tight down, so it packs away with the rest of it.

add a cross piece to the PVC piping and get a plastic clip to hold it on tight in the middle....great idea Gemma...🙂

Like Michael Barnett said below, I would use standard PVC caps instead of elbows. You also might put doublers where the pipes contact the fabric. That may help too. Thanks for the video. Good luck on fishing. Jon

You might want to put a cap on the end of the PVC pipes to prevent the sharp edges from tearing through the cover.

Two old tennis balls with holes on top of the PVC pipes as caps and Bob's your uncle. 🤩

Excellent bimini ! Put a short third plastic rod in the center of the windscreen to keep more rain off the dashboard. Just a suggestion. I love what you do !

Love watching ur fishing boat ya'll have done amazing on both .

Good heavens it reminds me of St.Katherines near to the Tower of London too! Wonderful to see 🙂😉Good luck with the comp too! 🤞

Sitting just north of Seattle and able to say 'Yeah been to Albert Dock on a blustery rainy September day in 2022.

Simon, suggestion - why don’t you solvent weld a 90 elbow to the upper top of two white tubes and add a loose pipe connection piece between the two, so it can still be split to still fold away and support the front of the canopy better.

Just a thought. To put three way valve in the suction line. To make it a backup bilge pump. So if your boat is hot with a large wave. You could pump out fast the water. We are enjoying your new fishing/ tender.

Super job!!!! 👍🏻💯

You need 2x 90 degree white pipe ends and a peace of piper across the width to stop the canvas ripping on the upright keep up the fantastic work

This lil boat is Pimped to the max! just needs a sub woofer. lol.

Great job on the cover. Should put some 90°elbows on those PVC pipes to prevent it from going through the tarp.

I think that Shield that covers great idea 2 90 degrees elbows and one cross piece of PVC pipe the elbows to help on the corners with a PVC pipes bends over to give them a little protection on holding up okay this is Bob from Vero Beach Florida have a great week stay safe and keep up the good videos

Brilliant, quick fix😊

You two are just amazing 👏

The simplest ideas are aways the best,..

outer space photography, best of luck. Hope you catch the big one!

Don't forget the bucket - for when you get 'caught short'!

Yes to caps or elbows on the ends of the PVC , or elbows with a cross piece to hold up the fabric.

Without doubt your little ship will be the best looking and best equipped in the competition..... only one minor criitism - never leave your key in the chuck.. :)

So Jem has mood lighting while using her bucket LOL

You guys just keep doing great jobs.

Lots of comments on the PVC... Tennis balls with an X cut in them work great.

A hoodie for the boat, what next, some detailing, running lights, stereo. That is going to be some tricked out boat.

Looking forward to seeing the stabiliser solution. Great project you two.

aahhh grab rails, I can now watch you enjoying your days out without the stress of worrying, lol, the sun shade is cool, literally, I wish I fitted them to my boats over the years instead of returning to port looking like a dehydrated cooked lobster,

I would just suggest on them PVC pipe you have a front put a tennis ball on the end of them. That way it won’t go through your tarp or put something round up there, so it doesn’t wear on your tarp up there because it’ll go through in a heartbeat, just a suggestion, you may use it you may not have a great day.

That’s a cool little boat those Suzuki motors rip

Good luck on fishing guys.

Nice and simple always good cover looks good to. Great see ya doing something other than Sarinda a break away from the Rot good for the Soul. Looking forward to the next vid. ;0)

Hi guys, wow that Suzuki engine sounds wonderful so quiet. I always like Suzuki motorbikes so they must be coming along way when the outboard motors keep up the good work. Love your videos. Really appreciate you guys Cliff from Logan city Queensland Australia 🇦🇺 from the big island 🏝️

Top Job 🤘

That motor sounds really nice.

That's a great Bimini. When the sun's beating down any kind of a shade is a blessing. But as others have said, put either some end caps on the pvc or maybe even 90's with a peice of pipe across.

Y'all did a awesome job😎👍

It was nice to see the Albert Docks. When I was young, I would get in my car and drive from the family home near Llangollen to the Albert Dock and walk around. To someone who grew up on a farm in the countryside, driving to Liverpool was such an adventure. At that time, the Albert Dock development was still relatively new (about 5 years old) and was a trendy place to go. I thought I was really cool driving into a 'big city' and the Mersey tunnel was an adventure in itself. Little did I know at the time that I would go on a bigger adventure and end up in Japan, where I still am. The Mersey tunnel has now been replaced (for me) with the Aqualine bridge and tunnel over and under Tokyo Bay, linking Kawasaki(川崎) with Kisarazu(木更津). A man made island in the middle which doubles as the motorway services is the point where the bridge becomes the tunnel. Then there is the very nearby Yamate Tunnel under Tokyo which at 17km is the second longest road tunnel in the world. It weaves in between the subway system of Tokyo and you can hear the trains from your car in the tunnel. In one location there is only 10cm difference between the road tunnel and the train tunnel. A remarkable feat of engineering. Still, The Albert Dock will also hold a special place for me and no amount of engineering will every replace that time I spent going to Liverpool.

Brilliant episode as always, keep up the great work 🍻

05:37 - Boys have to play it in the right way. Don't tell me, haha. So as i said already two times....it's a little James Bond boat.

GOOD IDEA FOR SUN SHADE

i had a boat similar that used to wheelstand as well, most of the weight was at the back. I put a hydrofoil on the outboard and it jumped onto the plane so much quicker and trimmed out nice and flat at speed as well, worth looking into

awww if known up in Liverpool would come meet yous xxx

Look at getting a set of flushing muffs. They're just rubber cups on a metal clamp. They fit over the water intake for your motor and attach to a garden hose. Then you don't need to fill the tub OR open the access port. Clip them to the hose and slide them in palce, turn on the tap and run your motor. Making things for your boat can be not only fun, but much cheaper. If you could buy that same setup that was in a marine chandler it would cost you 100 pounds JUST because it's for a boat. Often you can find gear to use on a boat in garden stores and the like and repurpose it for much less.

Hi "G &"S, Yous have gotten a Gyro Stabliizer what a great idea and love your shade "Glimma stops your man from getting to much sunshine on top lol. ps love Ship happens ( :

Very nice James Bond.boat.

Maybe put a bit of foam or rubber on the end of the PVC pipe, to prevent a hole from forming. 🍻

I used to have lil 20’ cudy cabin with a 115 hp merc on the back. When we were done in the bay or Atlantic Ocean we had what looked like ear muffs. But I hooked garden hose up to it. Started the engine and water sucked in where hose was.

Ok Bimini was mentioned and yep when folded down it can get in the way, ya tarp is best way to go 👍✌️

Need a couple of caps on the ends of the pvc to protect the cover.

Put elbows on the pipe so it won't tear😊with pipe between 😊it's looking awesome

You might have found out already, but the white support for the Bimini might need some more fixation and strengthening. If you make a doubling of material and maybe a little cup, then that pipe will not tear through the sheet and stay put on its designated place even with wind.

You'll need to put a tennis ball over the top of the PVC pipes where they come in contact with the tarp.

You can get a set of ears that clip on for flushing engine

What a beautiful dock .. I bet those apartments go for a few quid !!

Love your shirt but if your the Captain Gemma must be the the Queen 😊

I would put a pipe cap or elbow on the top end of those PVC pipes so you are less likely to poke holes through the plastic sheet.

Love the build! But I think you should be sealing the hole in the hull and the plywood backing plate with epoxy before installation. The sealant is going to fail eventually.

good vid

In the days of the 3l Capri, those handles on the dash in front of the passenger seat were know as sh*tbag handles 😀😀

Put a freshwater tank at the front to help with ballast.

Gotta Love Liverpool, the England's Largest Irish City.

You should put a couple of tennis balls on those front supports so they don't tear the sheet.

Bo, happy fishing :-)

FYI here in the states a youtuber lawyer said the Buying land in Scotland thing is a scam and I thought I would warn you so you could get out from under it if you haven't already. Love your videos. Steve Lehto is the lawyer name. His channel is Lehto's law

@8:25 blimey mate, you should warn us to put ear plugs in. :-( that hurt and i'm part deaf. more deaf now. you need to put stoppers or something on the top of your front shade posts to prevent tare. lovely idea. an outrigger! cool :-)

Put Robbo upfront for ballast, in a cupboard😂😂😂

Hope you made a loop above the water line

like a bidet for boats

she is looking great guys. Simon, have you considered fitting a pod on the back to improve floatation and stability. A full width one would be ideal. I've run them on every one of my boats up to 27ft and even now run one on my 14ft tinny.

Short or long trip, please put in your fenders.

I think you should put something on the two front plastic polls to stop them tearing a hole in the sheeting, something with a round edge.

Put a couple elbow s on your pvc pipe and a pvc pipe across , the pipes are going to poke threw the tarp

If you add a third pipe in the middle front and a 90 degree L bow on each side a T in the middle and connect them with pipes it won't poke holes in the fabric after 5 minutes of use and be far more stable in the wind, if the middle pipe is a little taller it would help direct any rain of to the sides, hope it works out well for you regardless. Good luck fishing, have fun but be safe.

I'd suggest you attach an elbow to each PVC pipe and a cross bar of PVC Pipe 😊

Would put half a tennis ball on the end of the pvc pipes, stop it tearing the cover.

I would use the hose port, because salt water trapped in the engine will corrode almost as fast as sea water.

A Bimini top, easily mounted and foldable, I've had them on boats that size, if blaring sun isn't expected just pull 2 pins n remove.

We used to call that grab handle the "Oh SHIT!" handle.

Hi guys, the little boat is looking awesome. I just noticed your ladder is dragging in the water when you're under way. I don't have a suggestion as to how you would remedy this. Maybe just lift and tie it up when under way.

You should put caps on the pvc pipe to keep from ripping the tarp and add a 3 one in the middle

I'd be doin something with the pvc pipe ends, stop um ripping the tarp.👍

Lekker man lekker 🇿🇦

👍👍👍👍👍
