Love your videos, always calm and cool throughout all of your projects. Nice to see how well you all work together, and I love your intro music. p.s. nice love bracelet Linh
Great video. Just noticed that your bleeder fittings are backwards always want them facing up because air will go up in a fluid system. Love your guys channel.
Matey , you should have been a brain surgeon, incredible job in those tight spaces. As for Linh and Emma , well you are a lucky guy, having those ladies being so incredibly capable as well.
I love that museum. I saw my favorite plane, the Lockheed Constellation Tristar. I caught a $10 flight on one between Isla Mujeres & Cozumel in 1978. Epic old school experience.
The hydraulic steering is one of the most common breakdowns I experience on a commercial boat. I’ve had rams pull apart (make sure you have stops to prevent over travel) hose failure is the most common problem (have spare hoses and enough oil to replace the fluid (motor oil and diesel 50/50 will work as an emergency substitute) broken linkages are also a thing (again have spares). The plastic coupling between the motor and the pump, I’ve had one beak in 30 years. I know you made a complete secondary steering system but these are the things I’d have on hand
Teal you are blessed, Lynn is so damned fly! On point with everything going on, helpful and supportive with all the haps and Emma is coming up right behind her. Count your blessings Bro! Oh, your cat is pretty awesome too!
Teal, next time let Linh know to flip the oil container over where the neck is on top and it will pour easier with no runs down the neck. That's why all the oil companies started offsetting the neck to one side many years ago. Nice job on installing the wheel Linh and Emma, even though Teal left you totally in the dark!
Not going to be long now until you haul her out for sanding and painting her bottom. Guys she is starting to look like a beautiful boat and soon will be ready for your sailing adventures.
When pouring from a full bottle if you turn the bottle around and pour it with the opening at the top it will pour nicer with less chance of dribbles. Good job with it all.
Love The Parker Store. The hose will rot away long before those crimped fittings fail! After watching you drive to The Parker Store, I think your greatest challenge may be yet to come. How will you manager to build enough recline into your captains chair so that you can steer the boat from the same position that you drive your car???? Panel dim, light drive, Jesus on the dashboard. T-minus whenever it feels right......
Good job the rotors are done about ready to go for sail I know that makes y'all happy it has to one more job down not many more left be safe great job thumbs up
I don't usually like to provide input since it seems like everyone on youtube is an expert, but at 15:34 the nut you're spinning is a compression fitting. They don't require any PTFE , the ferrules mating in the conical part of the fitting create the seal. For the thread in the block that looks like NPT so it's good. I use a lot of swagelok and they're great compression fittings, Parker is prob just as good.
Steering wheel install reminds me of my first visit to the NASA Space Center Florida, staring in awe with open mouth at the engineering and complexity of building those rockets, space shuttle, etc. It's All Good! Super excited on your first Sail!!! Cheers!
OMG !! The steering and all the components are in !!! Y.E.A.H. !!!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️. Great episode for sure. Emma is sure growing up. She is sooooo cute at the wheel for the thumbnail shoot !!
So beautiful there on the lake just reminds me of Cairns and the most expensive units right on the coastline in town. They have to put up with a seaplane and helicopters taking of and landing every day with tourists going out to the islands or the reef. Love your work even in areas where only you will see, well planned and always smartly done.
Good morning Teal and Girls,great video,My concern is brass fittings with brass ferrules on plastic lines require a brass insert in the plastic line to prevent the brass ferrule from cutting into the plastic line and cause a problem when you least expect it, also they make plastic ferrules for plastic line which do not cut into the plastic line please google and research this before finishing this project, what a beautiful job you are accomplishing Have A Great Day
MFCP is my competitor but they do a good job. If you can make just one stop to get a few hoses made you should consider yourself lucky! Plus, our shop is in Kent, WA so no foul no error ;)
Congrats and thanks for the museum of flight. Haven’t been there since they were in the red barn. Tell lhin that when your pouring from a container (atf) it’s easier if the container is rotated 180 degrees. Also it’s sad, in this country ,more isn’t done to educate women about the mechanical and electrical world at an early age . Excellent work and video. Also thanks for the tip on the hydraulic line shop.
I see someone else mentioned the Tape on the threads. My thoughts exactly, Never use tape in hydraulic systems. Anaerobic pipe sealant or loctite if anything is needed at all.
I am definitely not a hydraulic expert and appreciate any constructive advice. If any of the fittings start to weep I will make the correction immediately.
Onboard Lifestyle Hydraulic connections are normally metal to metal. Sometimes with an O-Ring or gasket. The PTFE tape is to lubricate the threads of pipes under low pressure. The chance of a small pice of tape getting into a hydraulic orifice or valve makes it a risk in high pressure systems. It will usually get forced out by the pressures.
@@davidp8594 True but as long as Teal kept it off the sealing faces there will never be an issue and rudder vs water slipstream forces vs cylinder attachment point on the pivot arm and cylinder diameter dictate the max psi the system will ever see routinely. Only way to go higher in pressure is to keep cranking on the helm after max cylinder travel is reached and have a faulty bypass valve or no valve at all in the helm unit.
OOOH! Bob's right! Especially White PTFE, Hydraulic fluid can break it down. A compression seal is supposed to be made on the bulb seat inside and if you want to use a teflon look for yellow, but I'd recommend Rectorseal or Loctite products.
Love the channel. One suggest Teal......please have the wife take off her jewelry when she is put her arms and wrist into tight areas and basically when working period. Keep up the magnificent job guys.
Hey take that boat for a sail around Union! Nice install, so how many spare parts will you fill up your spare berth? Hoses, couplings, wiring, etc.... Also is there an emergency tiller in case hydraulics breaks down? Guys, you're killing it! ⛵👍
Hello Captain - Just curious if you purchased two lines for every hydraulic connection? When it comes to hydraulics I have learned to live by the "two is one - one is none" rule. Also regarding comments about Teflon tape - it is perfectly okay and acceptable in marine hydraulic applications as long as you start it a thread or two back from the end of the fitting. I have used Teflon tape on hydraulics on commercial vessels I have captained for more than 3 decades now.
All I can say is you are amazing. Everything antiseptic and sterile . You must drive the grease monkey's crazy. Looks like your boat was created in a hospital. Perfect perfect perfect. What's not to love.
Congratulations! You are a working boat again. :) One thing I noticed at 7:42 you have a shot of the lines running into a conduit. The bend there looks pretty tight, at least from that angle. The conduit edge also looks a bit sharp. You might want to consider a wrap on lines with something to prevent wear damage at that edge or at least keep a close eye on it for a while to look for rubbing once you are underway. It would not be cool to pop a line offshore someday.
I was waiting for this comment because when I was editing this video I could see how it was a bit misleading. I have two conduits running through that bulkhead. On the left is the engine control cables and the Yanmar wire harnesses for the control panels (they look very similar to the hydraulic hoses). On the right is insulated water leads for the galley and behind them are the hydraulic lines that have a straight shot through the conduit. On that note, I do have a few areas where I will put chaff gear on to protect the hoses from any wear.
Nice job again. Is there an indicator at the helm station of where the rudder is positioned? How is the position indexed from the hydraulics and linkages?
I was just wondering if you may have thought of sewing together some type of cover to protect the external rudder actuator components from the environment? I'm not sure what type of material would be needed to protect the Actuators from the harsh saltwater and other concerns.
Now it starting to look like a boat again and not a barge lol.. I too saw that something was missing on the hydraulic line but many have talked about it all ready. The question i have is about the wheel. What has your thoughts what you are going to use on the end to make it easy for grip and for hand comfort while hand steering. or what was you thinking to use as a maker to show Top Dead Center on the wheel?
=I see the teflon tape issue has been well covered. Bits of teflon can detach from the fitting and migrate thru the system till it lodges itself in a direction control valve thereby jamming the spool.
I noticed the rudder crossover steering rod was lowered where it looks like it is just below the hull profile. Was Vortex shedding considered for this Rod when a wave passes through?
It was lowered back to the original designed position. It was raised by a previous owner to allow for a tiller steering option that was never installed. I'm quite sure that the alternating vortices outflow of both air and water will be unnoticeable and not much of a concern. Thanks for the thought. 👍
Teal - starboard edges still - no good - (razor blade the edges - it is very fast to do - and looks smooth and sweet......(use the razor like a wood scraper down the edge of the starboard - few passes is all it takes.....) Also - 1) quick shot of clear coat on polished brass/ bronze - lasts........ 2) make a center cap for your helm (steering wheel) from starboard - hint - proper thickness the material - use hole saws - then round edges - snap it in - lock it with a small set screw....... Best
After reading all of the comments, I just love all the armchair quarterbacking done on this project. Its' just basic Hydraulics, non of the stuff used in Aviation, or other High Technology uses.
Linh, I've got an idea. Why don't you quit your job and you can help Teal full time on the boat? It'll be easy, NO SWEAT. 🙄😁 Teal, nice try getting a word in edgeways after your visit to the air museum. 😂 Now quit talking already and hold that camera still. Great video as usual. Good to see that the rudder assemblies are now complete. Can't wait to see what -the slavedriver- Linh has got lined up for you to do next.
@@linhgobenyt I know Linh, just my quip on your "I think I'm sweating" remark. 😊 Just in case Teal "forgot" to thank you for doing all the hard work hauling in those hydraulic lines, I say a very big *THANK YOU*.
People don't realize how oil bottles are supposed to be poured, with the neck and hole at the top, not the bottom, and it will breathe better and not drip...
I was wondering about the PTFE tape. I don’t think it should be used on hydraulic fittings. Perhaps you should discuss using it with sales service at the shop that made your lines. Other than that your steering install looks great. Max attention to detail as usual.
I am definitely not a hydraulic expert and appreciate any constructive advice. If any of the fittings start to weep I will make the correction immediately.
Hi almost any decent size town will have a hydraulic hose and parts store. They are used in numerous equipment and need replacing for all sorts of reasons .

Love the quality of your workmanship, oh btw you should not need to use thread tape on the hose connections the cones inside do all the sealing. Cheers Warren
Enjoy your youngest while she is sweet. The get a little older and are crazy for a while. I have a daughter who is now 36. She is a joy.
Emma is still a joy.....this is why we need to set sail now before she realizes we're "not cool" anymore and looks at us with disdain 🧐🧐😂😂

great job as usual so so close
Another great video, and so nice to see working rudders and a steering wheel. Great job to all of you!!
Teal, all taper pipe fittings require a thread sealant,if you use P.T.F.E then you leave the first two threads with NO tape.
Beautiful family, Beautiful video! Congrats!
Nicely done, including the ladies. Can't wait to see this boat under it's own power and sailing!
Another great video! Rudders in, beautiful day - get out for a sail! Well done to you all - great team work.
Congrats. That a big one checked off. Great series of vids.
That time you are sitting there on Friday morning hitting refresh at the OL youtube channel waiting for the video....

I really enjoy your TH-cam channel I always look forward to see new episodes. I like seeing your progress on your boat your cooking videos, etc.
The Museum of Flight is cool beans, My kids favorite. We were there and watched the Concord land when it came to Seattle.
Really like your channel! Excellent progress. Your craftsmanship is outstanding! Best of any DIY I’ve seen so far, and I’ve seen quite a lot of them.

Thanks Brett! We appreciate you sooooo much! Emma loves the speed of the Blue Angels! 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ #bigtrouble
Linh Goben I’ve seen them perform many times! As well as the Thunderbirds!
Love Museum of Flight. I get to go there often. Your boat is looking real nice.
Well done ladies, you wanna go forwards not backwards ;-)
Definitely take that project off the board well done.
Muito bom seu trabalho. Parabéns. Quando pretende encerrar os trabalhos e sair para velejar?
To pour oil out of a oil bottle, outlet on top will pour evenly without a mess.

How did you get so lucky Teal ? My partner is as practical as a bag full of hammers lol 😎
Pretty cool you have a Parker store there.
Hopefully one day basic n sv delos will meet.both from Seattle.
Hi guys.
And now you can install your rudder angle indicator . Back at her .
Awesome !!! Will the rudder linkage on the sugar scoops always be exposed like that?
Nice job again. Is there an indicator at the helm station of where the rudder is positioned? How is the position indexed from the hydraulics and linkages?
Three quarters of a quart? A quart of what? I think we need some metric system here. : p
I was just wondering if you may have thought of sewing together some type of cover to protect the external rudder actuator components from the environment? I'm not sure what type of material would be needed to protect the Actuators from the harsh saltwater and other concerns.

=I see the teflon tape issue has been well covered. Bits of teflon can detach from the fitting and migrate thru the system till it lodges itself in a direction control valve thereby jamming the spool.
The Nylock is not engaged yet. Will you have a rudder position indicator? Perhaps electronic?
Two wrenches are recommended for tightening those fittings.
Maby some false floors over the rudder control arms at the bottom steps of each hull so you can stand there whence under way well done thanks
Great to see you got your steering sorted, not far now, a little heavy with innuendo.....probably just me
Can we assume you have measured the rudders to be sure they are both headed in the same direction?
I noticed the rudder crossover steering rod was lowered where it looks like it is just below the hull profile. Was Vortex shedding considered for this Rod when a wave passes through?
