WE NOW HAVE MERCH!
thesirenslog.c...
Our dinghy is sinking and time is running out! Join us in a race against the clock as we try to fix the inflatable before it's too late. Will we be able to save our beloved dinghy, or will we have to abandon ship? Tune in to find out! Remember to like, comment, and subscribe for more thrilling adventures on the water!
We're on our 1976 Tayana 37 (CT37) Taiwanese build designed by Robert Perry. She boasts a teak deck, roomy quarters, and needs a lot of work, and the projects have begun! We're traveling with large dog, a small tender, an iffy outboard, and our rigging can not be sailed.
We're Siren and Captain Hal. We're surfers, we're fishermen, we're yacht brokers, we're boaters, we're captains, we're divers, we're ocean people, we're Floridians, and that's what our channel is all about!

Simple sewing… agreed. Just have to ask yourself… do I have more time or money
@TheSirensLog
@TheSirensLog 2 месяца назад
Actually it’s not simple at all! I’ve been round and round about chaps. A local shop told us they were too complicated and took too long so the price for custom chaps was around $3500 with them. They told me I could even use their shop to make them myself but I dunno. To do them right, they have to be perfect and you’d do the hardware where they slide onto a track that you screw into the boat, and then clip the inside, and of course you cut out for all your handles and whatnot. That also takes a lot of space to do. I’m not saying it can’t be done, I’m just saying it’s not necessarily “simple sewing”. I grew up sewing and I was intimidated as hell by the idea of making them because I knew I’d want to make them right. Anyway…. Keep up with the next few weeks. Things are happening. But Bentley isn’t the reason the dinghy is falling apart, he’s just the reason for the scratches.

it sounded like a one cylinder outboard with no power ! ya might need both , a motor and a dingy ! May i ask if you put the spacer back on the prop shaft ? also laying a 4 stroke down may cause the oil to get into the cylinder reducing power ! Just thoughts i had and its great to see your doing good and haven't tossed each other overboard ! lol

I have the same Yamaha 6 hp (three years old) and it is a one cylinder. Though they claim it puts out 6 hp, it is just their 4 hp motor with slightly bigger jets - lucky if it puts out 4.5 hp. It is noisy as heck too. Yamaha makes great motors, but not this particular model.

@@davekimbler2308 I agree - had both the older (1970s/1980s) Evinrude 4 and 6 hp two strokes as dinghy motors on other sailboats. They were more powerful because they were TWO cylinders, and quieter, than the Yamaha. However, they did leave a bit of oil sheen in the water and tended to foul plugs after a while, which at least the Yamaha doesn't do (so far, not a lot of hours on it). I am actually looking for a newer 6/8hp two stroke.

Hal - you must be pretty darn good if you can do a boat repair with just 5 trips to the marine/hardware stores. I take 7.5 per repair. Also, next time you are trying to do an emergency dinghy repair like that, instead of epoxy, try contact cement. You'd need to lightly sand the fiberglass bottom with 200 grit (just a quick dust up to increase the glue's grip) and clean with a wipe of acetone. Both the hull and the fabric get coats. First coat, let dry 30 minutes. Second coat 10 minutes - needs to be a bit "tacky" - then press down the fabric and roll out with a Formica/laminate roller. Your seam should stick firmly and not wrinkle. Re-roll out five minutes or so later to double check the joints. Next dinghy, get Hypalon material, really much better, especially in the tropics.

Considering the outboard had to be rescued from the bottom of the ICW a few months ago. And I remember it getting a good bit of washing out with fresh water then 😂 it could have been worse than it looks. I don’t trust anything inflatable for daily use. Good old John boat can be abused for decades and it’s easily repaired with some sheet metal, self tapping screws and liberal amounts of 5200. Well, most times anyway…

I assume Hal has work tools at work, and is building up his boat tools. We have all been there, I was always of the mindset ill make what I have work, and a flat screw would not slow me down...but again...when I start a project I want to finish the project...in one sitting.... I am not a take all day to do it kind of guy....I would have fixed the motor, but that screw might never been the same by the time I am done...making future repairs harder.....as you get older and more experienced you do learn the right tool for the job, just makes life easier. Eventually I ended up with a tool to take apart every single item on the boat/car/house etc.

Do you get sunburned every time you go out?
@TheSirensLog
@TheSirensLog 2 месяца назад
Well, nowadays I get burned more often because I’m trying to stay out of the sun. I spent my whole life in the sun as a beach attendant, a competitive surfer, a surf instructor for 12 years, I trained lifeguards before that… I was always tan and almost never burned. But then I got melanoma and I see the dermatologist a lot and skin cancers are constantly coming off and I do try to stay out of the sun as much as I can now. I still don’t burn “easy” and I will say I looked really red in the video, but it wasn’t that red in real life, but I spent two days on the boat with no shade and I did burn! But typically, no, I don’t get sunburned everytime I’m in the sun, I just spent two whole days with no shade.
