Boat was sinking what a disaster he was about 5 miles from shore! Client is calling Matt first to tell him he was taking on water. Matt immediately told him to call TowBoat and call him back once he got help on the way. Matt then calmly explained what he needed to do to stop the water leak on the boat.

We saved the day for our client Matt saved him from sinking then once the boat got rescued we got busy trying to save the engine from being ruined. Have you ever had an emergency and called your mechanic?

I had bad experience with the volvo d6, if it overheated, be prepared for a engine change or head work soon , the injector sleeve fails if the engine overheat

Yea, those modern thin hulls don't take much to puncture. Lot to be said for thick hulls, especially around the bow and bottom. Side damage is annoying but bottom damage can and will sink ya

I learn something every time I watch. That thin/cracked area of fiberglass looks like a tough area to fix, not sure what I would do, just getting it clean enough to fix is going to be a chore. Great job as always. I had to learn the hard way to own a boat, fix it yourself.

The glasswork is repaired from the outside. The gelcoat is ground off, and damaged glass removed, any spider cracks gouged out and then the repair is made followed by new gelcoat, wet sanding, and compound. Very easy repair.

Well yes that can be true … too many think they can live on a boat for cheap BUT that’s not the case! Boats are expensive if they break down.

@@WillFixThat yeah was the internal fiberrglass showing any delamination inside in the lip? looked like there was a lip or something coming across sometimes cameras dont get a good angle so who knows just thinking maybe the lip is hiding delamination issues??

@maddierosemusic Ай бұрын

Those chips near the bow thruster do not look very large, yet that is enough to allow water into the hull? It's a Beneteau? Seems to me that's an obvious weak spot.

@WillFixThat Ай бұрын

That’s what we thought/think but we were told that the damage happened while it was on the trailer.

@mazdarx7887 Ай бұрын

All that corrosion don't happen over night. Thats weeks if not months, maybe years to get that bad The repair is easy, take out all the bow thruster components , replace with new and bulk up on inside , fill and fair to desired look on outside

@WillFixThat Ай бұрын

Yup the boat sat on the trailer and had water build up and ruin the components!

You guys have to be kidding about the light shining through the glass. That is an absolutely normal thing for fiberglass where no gelcoat is located. However, at the 5:20 mark, you can clearly see the crack in the hull that was letting the water in.

@WillFixThat Ай бұрын

We were simply stating that the fiberglass was very thin in this particular area and it looked like a possible reason for the boat to have the water damage if there was a small hole from trailer damage.

@HueToobBlows Ай бұрын

@@WillFixThat You could have 6 layers of glass there and it would still look that way. You do know that fiberglass is actually (and literally) glass strands woven into mat and cloth. Once wetted and all the air spaces removed, the opacity starts to come out and make it look more like thin, opaque glass than an actual structural material.

@HueToobBlows 28 күн бұрын

@@WillFixThat But it isn't that thin. That is what I am trying to explain. Just because it is opaque doesn't mean it is more thin than an area that you can't see through. It just means that there is no gelcoat on it and it allows light through. Please, trust me, I've been repairing yachts for over 20 years and am quite familiar with fiberglass and repairs to it.

Biggest thing I've learned from watching this channel is I NO LONGER WISH TO OWN A BOAT! I'd operate OPB's and give them back when I'm done, but I wouldn't own one outright.
