SV Awaitea goes from highs to lows with inspections, leaks & surprises @bundabergportmarina5145
[Music] w w [Music] so our water pump had a leak and it was leaking out of these holes here called tell toil holes which means that the seal in the pump is no good anymore so this one has got two seals there's me I could answer that yeah two seals two bearings and the seals go in front of the bearings like this and those Telltale holes go in the middle of the two seals so that if the seal leaks it gets through one it comes out of the hole so you know it's leaking so it doesn't go into the bearing or into the into the gears this is is driven by gears inside the gener in the motor so we have to replace the bearings the seals clean up the pump put a new impeller in cuz this one's uh starting to crack you can just see it there just but it's okay but it's starting to crack so new impeller and then put it all back together and good to go so what I've done is I've ordered speed or I've got spares for it now I bought double the stuff so that if it happens in the future we've got all the parts for it done good job good [Music] job that's nasty in there thread just bu it oh improvising yeah it's a bit tight but my gosh how far does it have to go along the middle oh wow okay it's t right get it on yeah it's not good but shouldn't have gone that way don't like it now as a side story if you discover that your fenders are rubbing on your paint work buy some magnets we did and it's stopped the paint getting rubbed off and that only works if you've got a steel boat why are we blowing bubbles yeah come oh that's good cuz otherwise I was thinking we might have had a hole wow I can near the wrong side [Music] see it's scratching out is that not normal going to be 44.0 what it 44.8 [Music] yeah 29 39 44 didn't I say 4408 he's still trying tried it here on the steel and now he's doing it on the concrete here this morning we've got Jess and Dave here doing a rigging inspection so they're going to inspect all of the rigging to make sure it's safe let me know what's wrong what needs to be fixed and so on so we'll go down and see them see this see this yep that's that would be so old that's just a like a yeah it's like a welded oh wed eye to a stud which is actually it's not even a true fitting that's not a real what we want to do is we need to get something different here yep looking at it yeah you don't want to rely that's pressed into that fitting and it's just spring out yeah see mil on this side y migrating out yep that that you'll be able to find a solution for that yeah there'll be some type of fitting that we can put there or you know it be something there okay for this it probably needs to be Dam right so when you're hoisting the main up double braid stretches p you can imagine if the sail's going up yeah and you've got it hoisted imagine if it's like say it's stretching like that over the sheath what it'll do is it'll actually wear out the sheath it'll make it like oval okay rather if you've got dyema that's hardly got any stretch at all yeah and what that'll it's stronger which is safer and it means that you won't get a pumping action over the she and it won't wreck the sheath as much so that's just something for for you to know also so you're going to go up on that I'm going to go up on this Y how do you know it's not frayed and hanging on by a thread at the top that's that's the problem with the rig inspection mate so do you have like uh some sort of drugs to give you big balls something like that unfortunately not mate unfortunately not um okay so if if if I let's put it this way if I felt unsafe on this I can put another Halid to me Adrian can also pull up another Halid so technically I've got two so I'll sit in that I'll see how I feel one like this yeah I I even saw that one hey I something you would straighten yep no it be fatigued so that whole thing needs to be replaced then you so you guys rig is betray originally sort of thing and you come over to this or is that how you you started on this so I well this this is actually I've done this since I was 16 and it actually started off with sail making and then moved into this sort of moved into sail making and rigging yeah okay so when I sit in this when I sit in this winch yeah see how bouncy it is yeah right so that's something that really needs to be changed okay not going up no it's not going up it's going funny stop the she at the toped out cuz I feel so it's pulling it over the top of it is it yeah it's pulling it over the top of it so let me down pulling it over the top of it and it's G clunk clunk clunk clunk so that she that the top needs to change fixed or something like that so A few people said to me oh just get someone on there that knows how to sail and just go out and they'll teach you you wouldn't have been out to get the sail up I went I went well how about I get someone to check it first yeah yeah absolutely yeah absolutely cuz I don't want to be getting somebody else into you know issues and all that yeah all good want to make sure I can go back down I can bring your smer short we got a Dr I can get it out there for you can send it to me on the J [Music] okay [Music] so at the top of that sail there's a swivel which allows that to turn and swivel the how you connect the top swivel sails on the bottom so when it turns itwi well that swivel has come on top of the tube all the way over the top and so even if you undo that helard it's caught on the top of the tube it needs to come back onto the tube come back down okay um so to do that there is a strop between the top of the sail and that swivel that just needs to be short okay and then that'll get the swivel back onto the sitting on the tube yeah cuz if it goes over the top of the tube um it's it's just sort of resting on The Wire which is not correct and should you need to pull the sail down you can't yeah um then you can put um the she are wide enough for the rope that we need to put in they're all they're all F and is the m head boled or welded what's that the the those sheets can come out of the half section or is it yeah you can take the sheets out yeah that's fine they can be replaced from a l and then the tail on the Windex is broken but that's no biggy and stop there that's [Music] good [Music] [Music] [Music] yeah it's just there's a few things like that make it difficult to sell for you as well like this Main sheet is controlled from here yes so let's say you're out there and it's windy you're having to come forward climb up on here Reaching Across here y um it might just be rolling the boom's going bang bang bang and having to come up here fingers around this thing mhm um usually the main Sheet's really easy accessible so that let's say big gust of wind comes yeah and the boat's tipping over like soon as the boat tips over like that the rud is less effective yeah um you need to be able to go dump that out get rid of the air take the pressure off and get the boat under control again and that's hard if it's out the front here yeah so you know little things like that would you would have to work out and it's something you can probably do down the track you'd have to work out how to lead that after the cockpit yeah okay um they may have even had it like that on these sort of blocks here I don't know what these are for yet and there's this this cradle basically holds the boom stop it banging around yeah when you go to sail you have to top the boom lift a boom up on this and one of these lines here should be the topping lift on here right you lift the boom up this comes out completely yep so that this boom can swing fre this way if you were to try and put the side up with this there the sail will lift up the boom will bang around and you'll knock that out yep so a few little bits and pieces that sort of got to be aware of down here if you look closely um see this strand here you put this that little line there see that yeah C so that's a Telltale sign yep okay um of it weakening you know the knife goes into it yeah okay called the master ship still Friday night with a mahi mahi from AA yep and some locally C cor yep so fried get some rice yes cheers FBI female body inspector that's my job I'm a mile come on Merry Christmas are you or no I'm not even going to say anything I'm shutting up bye-bye Karl's getting prepared for a bad swim he's been trying to fix the Sonar yeah and it's not fixing so not working he's got another job to do got to go down and see whether it's covered in anything or I don't know what's wrong with it so you are going to see up well I wasn't going a bit I don't know how warm it is did you touch it no touch it at all going be cold as hell possibly I guess that's why the wet suits the good option all set yep I got my correct tool for the job hopefully we'll soon see look about here w i d white belt for that yeah I'll try a broom did you ever think you'd swim with a broom not particularly don't swim very good let sure put me things get on be h what you can chuck a rope over so like tied it off so I can hang on to it sure find it [Music] so it's still not showing what he [Music] wants oh scrubber don't call me that I need a scrubber how many times have you dropped your phone I actually haven't haven't dropped it I'm really lucky I don't want to be like a phone every few months you know what I mean what you doing our sona's not working and he thinks it might be covered with stuffff he doesn't want to be in there that's for sure what what did you just do I just finally fixed our dingy that I've been meaning to our tender the winch that goes on the tender up to the dingy davits which is the things that lifted up out of the water had these little shackles look how big they are they're like nipple rings and when I hop in the boat so UND do it I've got to hop in there with the boat so we're hanging off the boat and I off that wow and I which is probably about 200 kilos which can probably well obviously it can handle it but I think it's a bit too little isn't it way I've taken these ones they were on both sides look looks like some like kids meano set or something look at that oh dear hilarious and we put real ones on it good job that's good another little job done fixed tick Jan is really hard to see in this photo but can you see how it's chaed there it's like half cut through there okay right here right there yeah right there that if that goes the sail will come down so you got to be careful of that um okay so from what I've seen on this it's okay the the thing is is that I can look at all these and I can visually inspect it but I can't see inside the actual sway yeah yep so for safety wise which is what I'd say to anyone that's boat is 10 years or old or older I would generally say if it was my boat I would probably look at changing these but it's your boat your decision but that's what I generally say yeah because I I don't know what's going on in here in in any way um however the tuning of it really nice I it's tuned really well um there's a few little things up there like the sheet and all those kind of things and what happens is to get those shees out otherwise I've got to go up the top and what I've got to be able to do is I've got to be able to go up there and get those out so when you look look here so the sheath run on these pins here so there's a pin that goes all the way through and then there's two sheath so look to sheets so so you can imagine see how see the gaps here that's where the sheets are where the ropes come out of see that pin there that there that pin is go back this is the other side right so that pin goes all the way through and the she there's two shees on this side and there's two shees on this side you have to slide that out and get and get those out yeah change them and so we can figure out why they weren't running very well properly you can't you can't but can I get these out can I can I get that out I don't know if that's corroded or not the same with this one I don't know whether it's cored or not and to push that through being up there holding the seet is really hard so what so you can imagine say you've got say this is the Rope right yeah the Rope this is the sheet say it's going over the sheet like that and you've got two and you've got to hit the pin through there to get it out what you got to do is you got to have a bit of a bit of your own rope dink a little bit of your rope over and and get that one have another dink of your rope over and have that one right got to hold those yeah you got to have that prepped you got to have all the little nuts undone what you got to do is you going to be able to hold that like that and somehow have three hands yeah then I've got to hit the pin because I don't want them to drop in there cuz I need them and I don't want them to drop drop down do you know what I mean it's really really hard up there need a punch there's a lot of time and labor in trying to get that yeah thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe if you want a reminder hit the bell and remember we always love a thumbs up yeah I just want to be forever yeah yeah I just want to be forever yeah I'm off the ground no I can stop me now yeah I just want to be [Music] forever other night I remember what it felt [Music] be
