Nice job. Thanks for the ideas and knowledge.
Thanks. I am working on a easy one man mast raising system so like and subscribe
OMG! You hit me in the eye with one of them flying stones! Watch where you point that thing..........
The girls that assemble them don’t want to get their thingers dirty.
I thought I heard "This is my BOOM STICK"
Boom vang. The pulley system that pulls down on the boom. It’s already on the boat so I use it to pull up the mast.
I have a question about your winches. I have a MacGregor 22 with the same winches, but I can't find handle to fit. Can you give me any help? Nice video by the way.
If you’re referring to the two sheet winches mounted on the gunwales I haven’t had the need to look for one. If you’re referring to the swing keel winch it’s a friction winch made by Fulton and the handle is available on Amazon. Hope this helps.
@@JohnVH-diy I'm now trying to drill a 15/16" hole, in a 1/16"x1 1/2" flat aluminum bar from HD, to fabricate one. I'll add a handle. I doubt you can find one.
This engineering got to be kidding me
John, how did you do top block layer on the ends where metal frame is only a few inches from the edge of the home?
Nice additions! You’re pretty handy. Well done
Great job! Thank you for posting.
That looks like it was a ton of work!
Yes it was but it was worth it. Nice workshop. Check out my other videos about the build. I also have truck and boat videos if you’re interested.
Do you still have to level it every 3 to 5 years or so? After permanent foundation?
No leveling needed if done correctly
Thanks @JohnVH-diy! I just bought a Capri 18 and the previous owner said we should use 3 people to raise the mast. This seems much easier! Can you tell me how far up the mast did you rivet the eye strap? Is it the same for the eye bolts on the 2x4?
Yes about 5 ft. High enough to steady the mast but not so high you can’t reach it when the mast is up.
Would this air trencher work on Virginia red clay?
Probably not in clay. The material I was digging in was compacted gravel and dry dirt mixture
Interesting, thanks for posting
I just got a bigger boat and I’m designing a double A frame system that will remain attached to the mast and deck that will automatically move the mast from horizontal stowed position to the vertical. Stay tuned and subscribe.
So the actual lifting mechanism was not explained You have two pullys with line ran and that was not explained
The rope and pulley system is the boom vang I already have on the boat. It is important that the pulley system has a built in cleat to hold the line tight.
I dont have a boom vang and it would be nice to see how you rigged the lines through the block and tackle and attached it all to the bow and forstay..that was not explained
So what kind of sailboat do you have? If you don’t have a boom vang you should get one. If not any pulley system from the hardware store will do in a pinch but it won’t have a cleat to keep the line tight so you’ll have to wrap it around a dock cleat to hold it.
does your main sheet have a similar setup you can use?
I use the main sheet fiddle block/cam cleat setup for stepping on my Hunter 23 wing keel. Usually have 2 people when I'm stepping/unstepping so one person hoists while the other controls center and deals with shrouds and stays.
@@chrismccorkle2909yes sounds good except that I’m a solo sailer so I must figure out ways to do it myself.
why this cars are so noisy,it sounds like diesel. by the way the trucks must be level
You did a nice job with explanation. I had some concern about using my boom but no problem. Trying this on a Cape Dory Typhoon for the first time. I may try partial lift with 2x4 to get a good feel. Thanks
very good
Is this a 21ft?
It measures 24’ tip to stern.
No, after removing the tbi big block I found it had a bad wiring harness which was causing all kinds of shorts sending mixed signals to the ecm. By that time I already had the other motor so I continued with the swap. Watch the rest of the videos to see the outcome. There’s more updates to come. I now have a 80s engine and trans in a 90s truck.
Didn't you just put that 454 in?
Terrible video. Left out most of the steps.
This was not a how to do it video. This was to show what can be done to make a heavy duty trailer axle. If you need detailed steps on how to cut and weld steel then you shouldn’t do this yourself.
I had a Siren17, and still have a San Juan 21, and a Starwind 22. For mast raising on them I just loosened the side and aft stays about a half inch, and just lift the mast up by hand. They are not heavy.
Yours are apparently lighter than mine. I can also get mine up by hand but if a stay gets snagged on something and you’re alone you have to let it back down. With my system there’s no stress and it’s easier.
@@JohnVH-diy I also have an O'Day 25, and its mast is way too heavy for me to manhandle. I will be using your method of mast raising for it.
I’m eventually going to make a A frame that stays on the bow so I can lower and raise it easily while under way. It’ll eliminate the front straps.
Sweet, like a pickup a water truck and a dump truck all in one
You can haul the gravel and the water to keep the dust down lol
That lil trailer setup is slick as well
Helpful. Thanks.

The engine rebuilder broke the rings during installation.
Здравствуйте. Кольца развалилась?
I’ll have to check mine for Greece I bought one and haven’t used it yet. I’m glad you pointed that out.
You would think they are from same family so to speak
They also sell an inexpensive hand pump for this.
Much cleaner interior than my '72 Mac Venture 22 - basically need to gut mine and start from scratch.
Wow!!!!??!??!!!!!......😮😶😳 I could of been doing that for 37 years?🧐🤨😠I been working my ass off
Simple and effective + cheap and minimal engineering.. sometimes less is more.. excellent video..cheers from OZ
Best tutorial on mast raising - cost effectively
Sorry it’s not a good video but if you subscribe you’ll see a better view and be able to check out my other videos. I do construction, work on semi trucks and boats.
Just woke up. How do we do this?
You won’t find that here in sc there already set up on permanent block an pad
The newer ones here now have block foundations and stem walls. They call them permanent because there are metal straps nailed to the house and imbedded in the block with concrete. They still have wood wedges taking up the gap between the block and the house frame which are adjustable in case the block settles. The settling occurs because the footings are not deep or wide enough. However it’s better that the old tie down straps and plastic skirting.
I like it man looks really cool I think 6-wheel Drive it's yours you can do what you want👍😎👌😊
This is the proper way to fill the transmission fluid on a 2002 Isuzu Trooper. Car needs to be on so clutches, lines, trans cooling side on the radiator fills up and lastly the converter. Then is ready to be checked by removing the top Fill plug/Blot, an if the car is running an no trans fluid is dripping once Plug has been removed then add until it does. Thats what i picked up from the video. Very informative thanks. Hope it’s still runs smoothly.
You are correct. Because it’s so difficult to check the level by the average non mechanic person the fluid ran low and eventually destroyed the transmission. Stupid design.
Nice job. It gave me some ideas as I work out my system too.
The straps are a bit of a pain since they tighten or loosen depending if you’re doing up or down. To remedy that the lower end of the straps should be directly in line with the mast hinge bolt. I’m going to make another one. It’ll be a A frame made out of 1” conduit that I can leave attached to the boat while under way. This would be handy if you need to lower the mast to go under a bridge.
@@JohnVH-diy Thanks John. That was one of the takeaways I got from your video. I have stanchions (P18) about even with the mast. I may be able to rig some stays for the gin pole and mast that don't need to be adjusted. The mast is light enough to raise by hand, but like you said, it is desirable to be able pause and be sure nothing is tangled etc. Thanks again.
What was the price for everything
If this is a MacGregor 25 in this vid, I'm forever in your debt. Any thoughts on slapping together a crude mast crutch for the receiving end?
Yes I made a mast crutch. You can barely see in the vid. It’s just a square tube with a U welded to the top. Then I made a roller out of rubber to help slide the mast into position. I’m planning another video showing more details. Let me know what you want to see.
Would like to see it come down too. Thanks for the video. I have a Morgan 22 with a pretty heft mast@@JohnVH-diy
Lowering the mast is just as easy.
Thank you for this😊
How much would you charge to do a 14’x 80’ ?
I’m not a contractor so I couldn’t do this for you or even tell you how much exactly
@@JohnVH-diy can you give me a ball park what it cost you?
@@MichaelJohnson-jo2hg My best guess is about $7,000
Looks so nice!! Can you provide a link to the wrap? Was it from Amazon?
I got it from eBay. Chinese no particular brand.
