All terrain fluid, lol how bout Automatic Transmission Fluid..That's ok, I'm so old several years ago I though LMAO stood for French Mayonnaise. Le' Mayo

The Kenyan fuel system needs to address using the Racor (Parker Hannifin) fuel filters. Your filters turn direction approximately 6X when fuel comes out to engine. The center tube does not reach the top of the filter & that’s where your air pocket is when you come in on a wake. Your mfr addresses this problem w/an electric fuel pump pressurizing the system. This forces the water & contaminated fuel into the third stage. A better choice is Dahl Model 150 manufactured by Baldwin Filters. Fuel only turns 2x. Comes in and out the top. Does not spin the fuel. It decompresses it and has at least 3X the flow rate of your filters. Ease of service. Turn T handle and the whole lower unit drops and comes out for ease of service. Also has a bleed valve on top. This comes from a retired marine fuel filter specialist. Good Luck.

I have live here in Anacortes since 2005, and boating out of here since 1995. I have been surprised that you have been able to do all the work you have, since that yard area your in is considered a "storage " yard. I hope your waiting until next summer, to make the trip down the WA coastline. Nice to actually see you rebuilding that boat. A lot of work !

A yard changing their policies mid haul out and then trying to enforce those new rules on you after you've already signed to be hauled out and to work on your own vessel are grounds for a lawsuit. Especially if they have no intentions of immediately beginning work on your boat while requiring you to continue to pay daily hard stand fees.

That filter setup is awesome! Every boat should have one. Fantastic tool for cleaning & troubleshooting.

“Ridonkulous!” That’s one of my go-to words.

Not a dull moment in this video. Great presentation. Stressful deadline. Keenan filter system operation- lots to remember. Andy knows his stuff. Searle does good work. Monday monday splashdown.

Great video. Wonderful learning from an expert on the new filtration system. Be great to see you on the water.

I love the “ kakaa greeting” you sent out to your mom! You could be separated in a busy airport terminal and shout that out and she would know exactly who did it, I’ll bet!

Having a dual fuel filter system is money well spent. I was in charge of the engine room while under way so having a backup filter means you can stay under way and deal with the clean out process to ready back. The diesel is very dirty and attracts water from the air by nature so you have to filter the fuel. I served on a air craft rescue ship for training the army corps to pilot a P-51 but first had to pass training the T-37. Our ship was large enough to pick up a down T-37 and rescue a pilot at the same time. Our battery banks were another area in the engine room to deal with. We had two engines but only one for drive the other was a generator but they both were diesel and the filtering of the fuel was constant duty thanks to a dual system. The bridge did not have the alarm feature nor they never knew when we switch over the filter as long as we were under way life was good. Pretty old ship slow but mighty. Very analog based information lights and bells mostly plus a phone directly wired to the bridge so no shore calls to honeys.

One can tell a lot about a person on how they treat animals. You are a gem. A kind heart. Wishing you good luck getting your boat in the water soon. ⛵

I am in awe of this filtration system! Amazing

Yes, all terrain, as in heavy swells, light chop to calm seas! That fluid is stupendous!

The all terrain fluid is good for both salt, fresh and brackish water - you can go just anywhere! Love to see the boat on the water

Wow, I have filter envy, that is the sweetest fuel system I've ever seen on a sailboat! 😄⛵⛵⛵

You are doing awesome work on the pirate ship. Stupid rules that you cannot work on your own boat. Keep the videos rolling, love them and think you are all special people

Wow!! Lots of work. Lot lots

Wow…. Kenyan Filters are the BOMB! Thanks for showing how no one HAS TO EXPERIENCE a Captain Ron moment, even if you own a replica of his ole ship!

Bob Ross!!! 😂😂😂 as a poodle owner I know what you mean!

Ole captain Ron boss!!! Words to live by!!!

Sweet filter setup. Make sure you keep documentation on the boat how to operate it. You can learn all about it today but you might have forgotten when by the time when you need to use it as intended.

A work around is to form a company and get a general liability policy then all work is done by the company ... just saying

wow, this is amazing, i'm going to tell everyone about this fuel filtering system....i mean this is the #1 issue SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE and they can't figure it out. just amazing !!!!!

Really enjoyed this one. From the polishing filter system to the ducks. 😀. As for the yard restricting folks working on their own stuff,,, I think there’s a fine line there.

3:38 ATF = All Terrain Fluid, bahahahahah... that is awesome!

I'm a commercial crabber and farmer in Anacortes, kids would love some ducks ha

This has to be one of the most fun episode yet.. This Old House ain't got nothing on your family .. Hear that Bob and Norm?

Astoria Or, is DIY, but you know the weather.. hopefully I'll splash before Feb,, been here since June..

I appreciate the master class on fuel filtration and polishing fuel. Just a fantastic video. You're amazing

That is one superb filter system. Bit overkill for my small yacht but a lot of peace of mind for you. Stunning boat by the way. Respect to you for the work done and she will be a beautiful place to live and sail. Andy UK

I love the big poodle.I had one for 17 years.

The Kennan Filtration system is cool, but the ducks are AWESOME! I have a couple of chicks... Hahaha!

"ATF" Automatic Transmission Fluid 🤠

I am a lil’ stuck on the vacuum gauge holding pressure after the engine is shut off. The intake manifold will not retain any vacuum after the engine is shut off due to many different reasons. Even on a diesel, vacuum should be regulated by either the crankcase, or an external vacuum pump, which would also lose pressure. The only way it would retain pressure is on the low-side, depending on where you were measuring the pressure.

I'd be finding a new marina and truck the boat to there.

ATF I thought meant automatic transmission fluid? Anyway…are ducklings suppose to turn into your auxiliary tow system like reindeers for Santa? Are 8 of them enough? 😉

We moved Watoosh up from Bonaire to Puerto Rico a month ago. Our new lithium batteries are doing great. We have completed a number of projects and now need to replace our refrigerator compressor. The projects never seem to end! A word about Bonaire. We were there for six months which was as long as we could stay. You cannot anchor so you are either in a Marina or in the mooring field. We were in the mooring field paying $10/day. The fees are going up to as much as $45/day. I encourage all cruisers to reach out to Stinapa and express their concerns about such a huge rise in fees.

I met Andy and Carol at the Workboat show this year. Great people. Happy to see them on your channel. Don't forget your Fuel Right. :-)

We lived near to a park with a pond and lots of ducks, geese, etc.. We had a little pot-hole in our driveway only 3' across, but a pair of ducks thought that was a nice place to bring all of their little baby ducks. So for days and weeks we enjoyed watching this duck- family in our pot-hole in our driveway. My sister-in-law became worried about these ducks in the road and decided to take the babies to the pond at the park. She carefully gathered up all of the ducklings into a box and carefully took them to the pond and released them. Sadly, all the other ducks at the pond attacked the little ducklings mercilessly. The mated pair of ducks never forgave my sister-in-law, and would attack her when they could. If ever I want to make my sister-in-law cry uncontrollably, I have only to mention it. Sad, but kind of funny too.

I'm a sailor out of Gig Harbor. I just watched a few of your videos. Great stuff !!

Wow. I learned a lot on this one too. You guys rock!! :)

Wow you've come so far since you had to clean that dollar sailboat!

Merry Christmas and all the best from here on the West Coast side of Australia 🌏

This work will make this the best Formosa on the planet

Must be a great life, sail the world, buy.the best equipment and supplies, post some videos. There must be some serious Patriots money coming in. Great gig, wish I had thought of it.

Yep i like Bruce Willis fuel filter guy hahah thanks!

nice system I am a diesel tech from way back on TT and heavy equipment and filters will save so many problems

Cannot believe that a boatyard would change such a fundamental rule so quickly. It should come with six-months' notice or maybe a year. Sooner you're outa there the better! Ducklings are incredibly photogenic, everyone's gonna want some. Interesting coverage of the filter system I wonder why boats are more vulnerable to these problems than diesel cars or trucks? Perhaps it's because boats tend to stay in use for much longer leading to corrosion of the diesel tanks and lines. Anyhow, you look well set now. Good luck with the rigging!

His fuel system should be standard on all boats it's a very well thought out system I hope he keeps making himself and not sell to a large company so the quality doesn't go down.

Loved this video! Rubber Ducky He's the one...lol. let's get Haze Gray and underway! Here's one for you Ms. Lonestar...Mares tails and mackerel scales make sailors use small sails. What does that mean?? Hugz to you all!

Lekker man lekker

put hydraulic oil on the steering system, she is beautiful and cute, the guy and the ducks too. They are nice couple. good luck.

I will never think of ATF the same way from now on it’s all terrain fluid 😄

Can't wait to see your Pirate Ship back on the high seas. Stay groovy and stay safe.

Great video ty 🙏 😊

All I have to say about boat yards that change over to No owner work in the yard== GREEDY SUMBEECHES.

This women was obviously captain jack sparrow in a pat life.

In the Auto industry ATF is automatic transmission fluid if it's a reddish pink color it's automatic transmission fluid which isn't bad it can be used for a lot of different applications

Love the boat. Shocked no one says you should have left the ducks alone.

Ducky pups are really cute ☺️.

Good job,fixing and repairing ur boat b 4 ready to go 🐟 fishing. Happy holidays & Merry Christmas to you friends.

Bloody ridiculous can't work on the boat in the yard after you put to sea I'll ring em trust me I'm a cranky old pom let me know if you ever get to Qld Australia cheers n beers Marty

Hello my friend 🙋🤝🙋🇨🇭🇨🇭 Beautiful video Big like 👍👍💯💯❤❤

That is an amazing system. I've seen polishers who hang out like fixers in a port and wait for things to happen. Not all boaters are lucky enough to afford such a fantastic system. That fuel system has more valves than a huge distillery ! He must have retired from a distillery lol. I've thought about having a chicken coup on board. Would need to be a REALLY large boat for that. Michael aka Captain Ron. THIS IS GETTING EXCITING ! And, your in the Pacific, right ? So am I.

Love the duck's should have kept few as ship mate's 😘😁

Nice filters formations, the installer has obvious ideas on the configurations. Stayed safe

This system cleans fuel but will not clean crap that sits on the bottom of tank. Why should we clean the fuel tank bottom? In a kicked up sea and you need the engine tossing of the boat can cause fuel problems. Clean tank out by opening fuel access holes. Visually check fuel in a glass bottle for quality before putting fuel in your tank. Put fuel treatment in fuel to prevent mold building up due to water. Suck fuel off the bottom of your tank with a pump to ck tank for dirt or water. Keep your tanks filled to prevent condensation. Your can purchase a pre-filter funnel when buying fuel away from home port.

You best episode sweet great work guys I’m ready to join u guyssssss!!

So awesome! I want a pirate 🦜 ship! 🚢

It is good you found a farm with a lake for the ducks. People who try to keep ducks without at least having a pond, find that they need a large body of water to access or they will not like their home and will become irritable and mean.

Thanks for the fun Aubrey!

That was a lot of fun to watch!

Aubrey, you are now the fuel expert. Good job Captain. Can't wait for the rigging...

That ship is amazing

and had a few boats pf my own love watching and see you read and learn and love your BF takes pictures before he takes it apart

Getting close

nice boat

I can't wait to watch you guys go sailing again

Glad I could help you with my West Marine discount.

Hey Aubrey, Redonkulous? I say Redonkulous! So nice to catch up with you again! You are a nice person! I wish you all the best with your pirate ship!!

Hey Captain Aubrey, when do ( We) set Sail? Take me Along for the Ride, i won't get Seasick!! You Guys are a Fun Couple to Watch!! Thanks. Dean( Soul) Toronto P.S. Canadian like the Boat!!

Nice. I love seeing the warmer weather when you filmed this. I hope you're staying warm dry and cozy in Anacortes right now. The days get longer in about 15 hours!!!!!!!! Are you able to work on the ship this winter or still can't work in the boat yard? Happy holidays.

Excellent video!

If i would of known about them dockings I would of taken them. We have a good pound and 5 other ducks ( doesn't include the geese, other ducks and a swan or two that visit us in the winter.

Great filter system!!!!

Aburey its quite some time you people are still working. Nice waiting for your sail babe 😊😊 take care.....cheers

I have a boat in the harbor in the Bay area and need to haul and have the bottom painted. The yard won't let me do any of the work myself either. That whole thing just stinks. And to change the rules mid-haul out is really not good. Do you know if this is a change to WA state policy or just the Yard or city you're in?

Lots to remember but looks like a super robust solution.

When you have a contract, no one can change that contract with out consent of both parties, So if they have change their policies, they have broken contract with you and all ,but if you aquiess in ignorance of the law, you need to Ask them why do they think they can in mid stream of your contract

Really nice looking filter system!!

Great video ... Thank You...

Don’t forget to install a bow thruster

W0W!

Looks like a beautiful boat.

I love the work and informative videos.

OMG ... Your boat is like Noah's Ark ... lol

Yankees come to Florida ,and try to make it as bad as it was for them up north. David Dorshet stayed in an RV park near Miami, and the transplant next to him said this cement patio is half mine,and half yours so imagine a line down the middle, and stay off my half. He did this every Monday, so David said you can have two feet on my half, but if it still worries you I have a pistol, and you can borrow it to out yourself. These types of people love lawsuits, bujt they don't like an ax handle behind the head on a dark night, and they don't know who to be suing.

ATF = all terrain fluid 🤣 😂 love it …. so no longer (automatic transmission fluid) note taken ….

One of the parent ducks will look for and raise ducklings, and if both are dead other nesting ducks will adopt and raise orphan ducklings

Hello, love your videos and story. Quick questions.... WHY DONT THEY ALLOW YOU TO DO WORK ON YOUR BOAT IN THEIR YARD? (what do they care??) Also, do you plan to sell the pirate ship or keep it as your own? It's a beauty! Come visit our marina in Panama City Beach, FL called Treasure Island Marina. We will save you a slip:)
