I would buy those apples

Thank you. As most final steering mechanisms (at the rudder) remain hydraulic today, it works fine as a full hydro and from two stations plus the auto-pilot pump, pretty efficient. Since I do all close quarter maneuvers with the transmissions with rudders at 0º and auto-pilot handling the navigation, I just don't spend much time on the wheel honestly. Now servos on the throttles though... it could still happen, and would be a nice upgrade. Great question.

The headlights going on is a real odd symptom. Something is dropping that circuit to ground to turn them on perhaps. Check battery voltages of both batteries. There are like Seven of those problematic relays, 1 in the passenger right footwell, and six under the hood left side by the firewall. Try this webpage you can mouseover the relay to see what it powers: www.startmycar.com/us/ford/f-250/info/fusebox/2015

Did you fix it ?

Cool glad you enjoyed. It took a lot of clips and editing to get all that in there. Thanks for watching.

Indeed. Without question!

We took pictures of some wiring harnesses and key areas but did not anticipate doing a whole transformation video. You can see how rough it was and the odd monitor over the missing analog instruments in the episode S1-E3: Florida to Texas Cruise if you happen to be looking for it. There seem to always be things we wished we had more footage for. Thank you for watching!

Thank you. Yes we spent a lot of time up there on all that; it was very time consuming.

Thanks for watching! Yes we tried to give the rundown of a typical yacht system.

Thanks for checking us out!

It was indeed time consuming, but my wife and I are quite good at this type of work so that essentially removed the labor cost component for us. You are correct; there was a Visio monitor set on top of the analog dash, no tachs, and several instruments missing or not working. Once the monitor was removed and the wiring faults corrected, we discovered many of the instruments still worked. We had to build an entirely new ground bridge for all the instruments, and run many new wires for gauges that were oddly just missing. It took us weeks to fix it all, and probably a couple thousand bucks in new parts / wiring. We also fabricated some missing pieces. Thanks for checking it out!

Hi there. Starting in first, and shifting to second. The front end (+ motor) makes the FJ a little stubborn to get off the ground, but once you do, you can balance it pretty well. Make sure you do not lean forward / bend your elbows, you need as much of your body weight back as possible to get that beast off the ground.

@@XERyderok thx i will try my best

Thank you very much for checking us out, glad you enjoyed it. Move to come.

There is nothing quite like the scream of a 2 stroke. Thanks for watching.

And thanks for checking us out!

Thank you, and so far so good - same to you!

Thanks for checking it out, and we don't, but one of our friends had been waiting to get his hands on it!

Thank you for watching. I also agree on both counts!

Don't temp me! But feel free to post the link here for the FJ family my brother.

Ahoy fellow Hatty Capt! Thanks for watching. Look us up sometime.

Nice, what was the HID or name of the vessel at the time? What did you have for mains in it? Enclosed FB? Always like to hear about fellow 65C hulls.

It really is a neat event. The video just has the clips of the boats / yachts as they pass. A lot of other fun moments to be had. Go for it.

Did he win, or they won because he was now out? Good times.

Much appreciated! It was certainly a labor of love that paid off. Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching.

And thank you for the props and checking us out. We really try to get clips of everything to share so folks can see all aspects of what is going on. Do love some 2 cycle diesel tones as well.

Sorry; turn the alarm 1/4 turn to the left to remove from ceiling, Then bash with hammer for keeping you up with beeping sounds. :-)

@@XERyder ah, thanks.

Thank you for watching and the comment. That is really exciting to hear you worked the line for these in their hey day, that must have been one heck of an interesting job. The longevity of these battleships is a testament to your team's fine workmanship.

Thank you! Hope you found it informative.

Awesome, thank you for checking it out!
