C'mon folks and give these guys a thumbs up! 👍🏽 After all their efforts making and sharing videos, they are worth a 👍🏽 don't ya think?

Dom and Carly are ALWAYS worth watching. Interesting content, from trips and anchorages to maintenance, and quite beautiful production. I don’t know if it’s Dom or Carly, but someone does the production to a quite extraordinary standard 👍

Well, @@MiQBohlin, he does a quite _brilliant_ job of it. It manages to be both professional, yet personal, and is assembled beautifully. I am in awe. I am pretty adept, but I take my hat off to his productions

The outer seal (facing the prop) should never have been designed as being a single "Garter spring" type of seal..They are very susceptible to foreign materials.. Also the SS spring material will oxidize (rust) and loose its tensioning performance..The latter is key for proper sealing behavior .. There are combo oil seals on the market that have dirt rings included ..anyway..Lessons learned and applying some grease (not too much as it will lift the seal lip) Anyway....you did a good job replacing these seals...Try to avoid using screw drivers to dislodge a seal as it can damage the seal OD housing bore.. There are tools and techniques (see YT) to avoid damages. Lots of seal damages can also be done whilst re-assembling the stuff...The seal lip geometry is critical for sealing and cannot be damaged or even scored.. Keep up the good work, this "can do" approach will save you a lot of dough..

Well done Dom saved a few quid there , The boat you are sharing the shed with TAHILLA is a Dunkirker she was built in 1922 and belonged to our Chairman Jerry Lewis of the Restoration Trust he sold her in 2015 . Cheers

Well done Dom. Found that really interesting, along with the last episode, as I've never had a boat with a sail drive. On the downside, your making me realise just how many jobs I've still got to get done on my own old boat!

@webheadusa9377 3 ай бұрын

I assess that you really enjoy mechanical maintenance, even when you may not have ever done such tasks before. It is good that you want to do it (notwithstanding you do not charge yourself at the going rate). For the task you have earned an "Attaboy" and some proper ale, and one more pint to work up the courage for deck sanding. Job well done! :¬) Webhead USA

From experience with bikes its amazing what a bit of the proper grade grease will do ... Compared to just what things get banged together with.... usually just the packing grease or oil. 🤐 Hope your Captain and Hank are doing well.

on my S120 saildrive the seals seat on a deadend in the housing, I don't think I could punch it out like you did. getting the old seals out was the most difficult part

@ooweesaler 3 ай бұрын

Impressive stuff. Looks easier in a covered shed. My next boat may have a sail drive. It's surprising when looking at boats how often these jobs are simply not done.

It's important to put Loctite on the screws that holds the zink otherwise it can fall of. Happend to me. and likewise Loctite on the insex that locks the propellercone.

Good job, keep looking out for the tips and make a note of things in a cloud based App such as Notion, but works on phones, tablets, laptops. I would very strongly recommend making a note and a schedule of when things were done and the maximum interval when they should be revisited, replaced, etc. I had an extremely lucky escape with a timing belt yesterday, heard an unusual engine noise on Sunday, got it checked on Monday, the timing belt was half off the dead pulley, and eating through the cambelt cover. A few more minutes and that would have resulted in £4k rebuild. The mistake I had made was not scheduling a timing belt change at a safe interval AFTER the previous one. I had the previous one changed early, to be safe and well within the 'advised' interval. However, I had not made reminders to bring forward the interval for the next one. I knew it needed to be done and that it was over the recommended interval, but was putting it off to an interim service this spring. I was very lucky indeed yesterday, as the mechanic said I won the lottery of something not happening. I should have noted the original timing belt change in the service book and in a diary/ notebook, along with the date of the next change at that cautionary interval, not at the recommended interval as that increases the risk. I should also have put in a warning reminder at a later date to say, if I hadn't already replaced it I should do so now. By planning ahead you can co-ordinate it with other work and do it efficiently. I thought I would remember, but I didn't. By the way, don't you have to re-fit the outer boot over the saildrive....

Dom you are doing a great job and you have mechanical empathy for Cadoha and true love. Minor point silicone grease for the O rings and Volvo SD say dip the oil with the plug resting on the thread not screwed in. Sail on !! Hows the missus and sproglet coming along sod the deck

Nice job with the seals. To me it looks like that the seal between the saildrive and the hull is inverted and I’d look into using gear oil rather than engine oil in a gearbox. However YMMV..

What kind of grease you used? Petroleum based is asking for trouble, as you were told by the last video 😂. Silicone grease will do the job better.

I don't like those new seals the brown ones you are removing are Viton seals the ones you are putting in are NBR NBR goes hard with age and cracks,and is less chemical resistant to oil salt etc

Another tip regarding oil seals is to replace the stainless spring with an o-ring. Not sure how it would hold up in this application but it won't rust :}

Can anyone tell me the size of the seals? There are three numbers on the seals: the OD, the ID, and the thickness. VP dealer won't tell me (even though all they have to do is look in the stock room!). TiA

@CadohaAdventures 3 ай бұрын

Not sure on the measurements off of the top of my head but I simply found them on a website called parts4engines and searched for the model of my engine/ sail drive oil seals and these were what came back in the results. Hope that helps.

@moonhand8311 3 ай бұрын

@CadohaAdventures Thanks. I'm familiar with P4E. I want to upgrade the main bearings, though, to Viton. So if anyone knows the dimensions for the 120 saildrive, please say (including the O seals)

Do I presume the prevalence of Dom in these videos is that Carley is off becoming ever-more 'mumsey'? Four on a boat will be 'interesting' ... and with a toddler 😲
