I've read about doing the stuffing box in the water, but never saw it done until now. I need to do mine, but I'm going to wait and do it when I haul out to paint the boat next month.
It wasn’t so bad I added some theatrics for all of our entertainment LOL you should give it a shot just make sure you have the right tools and parts at hand
Yeah, it looked so scary! Our dripless shaft seal leaked last Fall and the amount of water that can come in can be frightening. They did a great job though and all worked out!
I think I mentioned before, that last September our charter power boat WAS sinking. Our dripless shaft seal (that's the black rubber part to the left of yours) was pouring out water. The fact you replaced your packing while on the water - wow! Super scary, but we're glad you got it fixed and the pumps were working! Safe travels to the Bahamas and we hope it sells soon, so you can return back here! Cheers!
I could have a whole other channel on cool organizational stuff. I have spent so much time money and effort trying to figure out how to live on a small boat
Aubrey, I tie a rag around the prop shaft when I do my stuffing box. It greatly reduces the ingress of water, keeps the water away from where you're working, and gives you time to work on the stuffing box without rushing. You could get even fancier and stop the ingress completely but just slowing the water ingress is all I've ever found necessary.

@Cody Jeffrey i really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and Im in the hacking process atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Where is Schooner Bay?? Bahamas? We have been anchored outside Boot Key Harbor since mid Jan, but it’s time to go. We are just about ready to cross and will be watching do the next good weather window. Keep sailing By and Large.
You're doing a great job getting back to the story-telling type video and further from the choppy, talking head videos that took over for awhile. Stay warm Aubrey!

As a Scottish American I appreciated Robert Burns “Auld Lang Syne” ! You guys should team up with Sailing Doodles for a cruise. You could learn a lot from Bobby and Taylor.
The last boat I had had a dripless seal--but in the one before I put a small sump under the end of the tube with a lip I made from some rubber taped in place--it dripped into a plastic box, in which I had fitted a float switch and a twenty dollar Rule bilge pump. The bilge pump emptied into a cockpit drain pipe. These seals are supposed to drip- a little-they are water-lubricated.
Wow! Crazy, I was thinking in my Head-What did I miss regarding the pirate ship and then all of a sudden came on and gave us an update freaky - anyway great video. I will be praying that your boat flip is a success. PeaceAndLove Lori
@@pornstarlivesmatter3319: Yet if you actually believe what your comment claims, you obviously swallowed the bait & clicked on it anyway. Weak, very weak.
It is interesting at the beginning of your video that as a female you think your wheel is too small and makes it more difficult to steer your boat. So Bigger is definitely better.
Bigger is Better especially for low speed power maneuvering. Under sail in open water smaller is better as it gives a more positive feel of the boat. For open water sailing a tiller beats any wheel every time as long as the helmsperson has the muscle strength.
The bigger the rudder the more force is needed to move it. The longer the tiller (distance between the hands and the rudder post) the less muscle is needed. With a wheel, there are mechanical advantages related to thee size of the wheel, the size of the AND the ration of the turns on the wheel shaft to the size of the quadrant on the rudder post.
I hope you get a real quick sale for the hunter at a monster good, for you, price. I can't wait to get back on the Pirate Ship and cast of for parts unknown. I'd Love to be Your Fist Mate any time! sdh The Great Unknown in CT
@@SailingMissLoneStar in my training it should be one length of stuffing or packing material cut to the diameter of the shaft and the next length of packing with the gap at a different position say 180 degrees around the shaft. This is so the chance of water seeping through the stuffing box or gland is kept to a minimum especially when you use a waterproof grease as a lubricant. The stuffing would never be removed and would only have more packed in behind as the previous stuffing is worn away. To have 4 separate lengths to make a circle is 4 gaps if I understand what you are describing and makes 4 potential leak points. And I would predict that trying to insert 4 smaller pieces while afloat would be quite a challenge for you and fun to watch for us at the other end of an internet connection.
Right back at you “Jim Jones” As for me I will take my six years of experience sailing and living on the water and enjoy my pets and life of freedom. I suggest you take your negativity elsewhere. I feel sorry for you
@@SailingMissLoneStar i most definitely don't wish for anyone's boat to sink to the bottom of any bay. I believe you mean every boat leaks, you're title is misleading not creative.

The hanging organizer is a BRILLIANT piece of kit when you have limited space.

Ditto!!

Can't wait to see the pirate ship completed
Me too!
Where is Schooner Bay??
Bahamas? We have been anchored outside Boot Key Harbor since mid Jan, but it’s time to go. We are just about ready to cross and will be watching do the next good weather window. Keep sailing By and Large.
Sweet gig. Sail to Bahamas to flip boat and return when weather is warm to finish your pirate ship. Seems like you cracked the code. Nicely done.
There was a group called a lone star, bells of berlin was their most famous track.
So what is the update on your new boat? Anxious to see her in the water.
You're doing a great job getting back to the story-telling type video and further from the choppy, talking head videos that took over for awhile. Stay warm Aubrey!
Thank you very much:)
What size flax did you stuff in there?

Thank you so much!
What song is that at 5:40
I need to remember to list them in the description I will go back and do that today
The crab pots reminds me of Deadliest Catch .
Haha that’s funny
This is life on the sea... don´t by a couch... go to work! KKKKK Nice video!
Thank you.
A line cutter on the prop shaft is worth its weight in gold.
Agreed! We ended up getting it sorted. The “10 minute” job ended up taking an hour and a half... that’s boats for ya
Line Cutter is Absolutely Essential in New England Waters - Lobster Pot capitol of the Atlantic.

Bevis, She said stuffing box !
Heh, heh heh, heh heh...
Do you know a good shipping company to buy a boat and have it ship to Puerto Rico?
I’ll sell you my boat and bring it to PR:)
@@SailingMissLoneStar I am launching my brewery and iam all invested. I am looking for the future a project to spend my extra time and beers.
Very cool. Congratulations! I would use a delivery captain. There are tons. We even do it from time to time for extra cash:)
Been watching you for several years.. Your very inspirational and I love your hard work in order to do what you love to do. Keep on Keeping on..
Thank you very much
Atlas and freya need titles.you have a captain and first mate....perhaps chief morale officer and chief security officer
excellent graphics.. love the font!
Thank you! I’ve been changing it up a bit
Great life on a boat
Don't you normally do that on a pull out?? Lol
True.🙄
The horizon is calm.
It was truly stunning
May God bless u always 🙏💯 may God give u all our the world happiness and also healthy wealthy life.

In stall a speed knob on the wheel. It’s amazing you will like it
Wow wow wow wow superb awesome video again maam.

Thank you for that! That’s so funny. I need to do more updates more often
Curious why you are taking her to the Bahamas to sell instead of somewhere stateside? Guessing it might be a sales tax advantage or something?
It’s a short Sail back and we want to have some fun on her:)
When I read the title, for a fleeting moment I thought we'd have a video of you going down........ with your ship.
Nope, maybe with the dinghy. Lol.
@@SailingMissLoneStar: Although I admire your bravery Skipper, "A Captain goes down with their dinghy" just doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

@@steveholton4130 I guess it is a matter of leverage the larger the equipment be it tiller or wheel the better it is.
To be fair I also have a small rudder🤪

With a wheel, there are mechanical advantages related to thee size of the wheel, the size of the AND the ration of the turns on the wheel shaft to the size of the quadrant on the rudder post.
Why dont you get a sailing west for your dog, its easyer to pull him out of the water to.
I have one but she gets pretty hot in it here
I hope in the next video you have better luck with the fishing 🎣
Ah, the joys of a deflaltible and barge cement. Good luck with “squishy”.
We WILL NEED it🤪
Hello sis, have a nice activity, have a nice day. Greetings from visiting old friends👍

Thank you so very much I need the good JuJu❤️
How are your kids doing?
I 've always heard it called "packing" Be sure to stagger the joints,
Concur, it's packing. Stagger the joints and cut the packing at an angle.
its not whether a boat is sinking...its to what degree its sinking. they are ALL sinking.
Haha so true
Another beutiful sail love atlas Benny jeffreys coober pedy south Australia
You made the top 10 sailing shows on you tube yaaaaa congrats Denny
Fanx:)
Music is so nice
Thank you!
don't remove old stuffing. Just add new.
Wouldn’t have worked in this case there were precisely 4 rings cut to length to make a circle.

Beautiful views
Thank you. We’re enjoying it
Yes that engine doesn't sound good, have you learned nothing from Captain Quint when he keeps pushing a rapping engine?
We talking about the dingy? The ya name in the boat is sweet
Smart, you have found your nitch.
I predict disaster within a year. Get rid of the bird and the dog. Stay close to port.

I can tell you one thing you are doing wrong you make coffee as soon as YOU WAKE UP !!!!! Other then that seems like you have things under control .
Hmmm
The dog needs a home on land.
A big yard where it can run all day.
A big dog on a small boat for anything but a day cruise is cruelty .
I’m a runner, but thanx for your opinion
Clickbait? And why is the like/dislike turned off? Weird
All boats are slowly sinking😱 you tubers tend to use creative titles. Sorry you are disappointed that I didn’t sink to the bottom of the bay😉
