Hi Stephen, thanks for posting your first solo passage. Did you have AIS while you were sailing at night?

the air filter has a nut on the end of that tube as well as the jubilee clip

thanks, very useful.

Thanks for showing the dismantling is possible using normal tools. Good method to release the tube from the muffler, so the tedious work releasing the bend from tube can be made on a table with space around... I have same engine and even less space around it. I plan to get a moulded knee, believing it is best considering the salty hot water and sometimes long breaks not using the engine... Am I right in that ??

Nice work.

Great video, and Sea Bird loo0ks like a very nice boat.

I enjoyed this. Nice content, we have a similar video style, I'm also sailing a Bavaria on my channel, enjoying the Norwegian coast in the foreseeable future. I think I'll push that subscribe button and follow your Bavaria adventures. Thanks for shearing. Best regards from Jarle

Thanks for that. Really useful. I’m a newbie sailor ! A couple of questions please…….. Where did you get the replacement elbow from, I presume not Volvo ? Is there a problem having two dissimilar metals (stainless and iron) connected or does the gasket take care of any risk of galvanic corrosion? How old was the original elbow? I have just bought a boat (D1-30 engine) which is 10 years old, 500 hours on the engine and the elbow is original. Do you think I should be looking to change the elbow now ?

That's a fine looking boat behind you Brian Brou. 😉 it's mine, I will be down at mine at the weekend I will keep a eye on yours. Great video

Well done. I have been to the Scillys 2 years in a row and it keeps getting better every time, I will be bring my boat up to Waterford at the end of Sep for the winter " Brian Brou" I will keep a eye out for you to exchange yarns about the Scillys. CHEERS T.J. 😉☘⛵️🇮🇪😉⛵️🇮🇪

Great Video. 1 concern I'd have is the way you've strapped the PLB to your lifejacket... if you fall in and the lifejacket auto inflates, that PLB will pop off and be fairly useless as it sinks to the bottom, as it's not in its floating pouch! I'd say a much better bet would be strapping it to the lifejacket belt/strap, and not around an area of teh jacket that will inflate. Just my 2 cents.

well Stephen, great video and well put toghter. I am headin to the Scillys This week and have a question for you. were you able to anchor in New Grimbsy habour and did you get charged ???? my boat has a fin keel also. I have anchored in St Helens pool but like the look of New Grimsby. Fair winds T.J.
