Fixing engine problems and going for a sail!

There is always something with these boats!
Last week Sam was visiting and we were going for a sail, but then the gear on the outboard was stuck so we had to sort that out before getting anywhere. The engine ended up being even better than before though, so I guess it was a good thing after all! And then we found a new island that we claimed, which is now Egon Island. Expensive but ordinary.

Always nice when the engine sticks to the boat :)

You might think of selling your big water cooled outboard to a fisherman. I have an air cooled outboard and it keeps things simple. Sailboats get more useful with a 12 volt chest freezer and a CB radio. I always run my chest on ECO mode, so the compressor will last. Switching all lights to LED's is essential.

2:55 Sam knows the 3 rules of boating: 1) Always use the right tool 2) A hammer is always the right tool 3) In a pinch, anything can be used as a hammer

You don't have to just post videos of you *and* Sam. You are absolutely charming. I'd be very happy to watch more videos that show us what just you are up to as well.

Thank you for saying that! 😊 I do have some ideas for videos that I will try to make this summer that will be only me 😊 and maybe some fish 🐠🪼

Please secure the boom by sheeting in hard before going on deck to furl the sail. That way you won’t get hurt, or wet. It’s great to see that Sam, with all his experience, leaves you to get on with most of the sailing. You’re doing great in your little boat. Small and simple is the way to go. Keep at it!

I would add a secondary restraint to the motor. The vibration undo the clamp screws. At least the the clamp levers together. My motor fell off, I caught it in time.

Maybe protect the engine with a tight tarp cover to keep it out of the weather when you aren't at the boat. Looking forward to more of your vids.

@bryanbsa8927 Ай бұрын

I use double plastic garbage bags with the built in ties. just make sure you don't tie them on when the motor is wet as it traps in moisture. Never mind, For long term storage get a canvas cover made for it that is a bit open at the bottom so air can circulate. Trapping in humidity make things corrode faster. Plastic is good for short term, like a couple of days every couple of days. As long as your letting it "breath" regularly.

Good ol WD40 saves the day again! Probably good preventative maintenance to squirt the same areas that were jammed up whenever you get back on board Rodeo Jones ;) Great to see you post again and the boat is looking nice! How is the solar powered fan vent going?

Ann, what ails Sam's 15hp Yanmar onboard diesel? I know it also has an alternator for charging things onboard as well. The answer is this ain't Sam's boat but yours? Anyhow nice seeing you two together for Father's day. Some things are just meant to be, Ann.
