Tilex kept my pontoon boat like new for 10 yrs.
You guys need to place a time capsule in the boat somewhere.❤️😘💕⛵️ Do you like your drill attachment scrubber?
Good grief that is crazy hard 😢
Like hearing your voice too Devin ❤
Amazing how much details there are to fix. 😊
Can’t wait til it’s all done
Interesting you like wiring 😅
Wow awesome
Wow a lot of work to get it so right.
Great idea for the storage!
Whaaaale I like the joke! 😂
Find something that didnt work is also valuable
Yes it went to 12.93 😂too funny ❤️😘💕⛵️
Wow check that off ❤️😘💕⛵️
I’ve used lipstick on the screws to mark to know where to put holes. ❤️😘💕⛵️
Have you just been keeping grease in the in-line greaser cups full . And it’s been needing more every six months . Or you’ve had to push the grease in thru the bottom of the hole in the cup while someone turns the steering wheel with a grease gun .Getting a good application of grease .
Good question. Unfortunately, we have only moved the boat twice since this project was filmed. So. Much. Boat. Work. lol But I'll check on these grease cups tomorrow morning and reply back with an update.
@@ayachtoflove I’m getting ready to do mine. I have 20 foot runs . I think the super lube they say to use is thin . So maybe it’s just fill the cup and forget about it .
@@briandale8386 sorry for the delay in my response. Here's a live look at one of the grease cups. The other one was just as dry. th-cam.com/video/LScsF3YlTSk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=pSOC4FVCZAVyUGtB
@@ayachtoflove I had to buy 8 greasers. Good to see they took the grease. I had two 20 foot funs . I see what you meant buy having to turn the conduit . A couple of places was hard . Thank for the info
You crack yourself up 🤣❤️😘💕⛵️
I could see the hot dog bun illustration 😅
Keep moving on 😊.always happy to see you!❤
Keep moving on 😊
Happy to join you. 😀
Wow amazing engineering skills. You have to decide everything for what works for the boat and adjust. ❤️😘💕⛵️
I think your star is a torque
Where did u get the “T” fittings from?
Amazon. Generally for systems that are not critical, not safety related, or non-structural, we feel comfortable using non-marine-grade components. We had to upgrade to a larger inside diameter hose so we ended up using 3/8" hose barb Tee fitting (or some product listings call them a three way fitting).
You are a boat engineer with all of this experience. ❤️😘💕⛵️do you have a tally of how many hours? That would be interesting to know.
That's a huge project!
I bet you are ready for the water tanks to be done ❤️😘💕⛵️ what is that copper looking tape?
Let’s not say cancer😂😂
Thank you for a great vlog today. ❤️😘💕⛵️
11:11 you get a wish and helpers from heaven too. ❤️😘💕⛵️

"Boat work" Because you are committed and you love it ❤️⛵️😁

Nicely done Devin! ❤
Oh the details. 😀
Getting there one day at a time!
That’s more progress! Love it.
Matt, if you ever had to take that board out, you just notch it where the bolts are on one end with your Dremel tool
