Lots of pro-tips today. Ty’s pro-tips, In doubt, cut it out. Tighten all fittings, fish tape is a must. Kim’s pro-tip. Long reach pliers double as a grabby tool. love all the pro-tips guys.
We installed a touch sensitive faucet in our home about 10 years ago. LOVE IT. There is one problem with them. After you have used it long enough, you will find yourselves in someone else's kitchen or perhaps in your own boat at different faucets touching a regular faucet and expecting them to turn on by habit. Funniest part is right after you realize the faucet will not turn on by touch because it is not your faucet that you got used to, and turn it on manually like any other faucet, you will tap it again to turn it off...You may think I am being silly, but give yourselves a few months with it and you will see exactly what I am talking about.
Yes!!! As an RVer I too am freaked out how none of the electrical outlets are housed in protective boxes. I agree with you that if they are required in houses, why not in boats and RVs which undergo constant vibrations? Good call on adding one for your new outlet.
bob's pro tip, That water is a little too hot to the point you can scald yourself. Also, make the water as hot as you need and no more. It does not make sense from a conservation of electrical power to super heat water and then have to mix in cold water to bring the temp back down to a useable temperature. Save some energy and save your skin.
A good hot shower is always a good thing after a long work day. Congratulations on achieving that goal and for getting the coffee maker outlet installed.
Here is a pro tip, don't buy cheap no name Amazon faucets. Buy quality name brand faucets from major manufacturers. My personal choice in order is Kohler, Price Pfjster, Moen, Delta, and American standard. Do not buy any plumbing products that haven't earned the UPC shield logo. There is only one lab that can issue those certifications and that is Iapmo. If you install non UPC approved plumbing products in your home and you have a leak or flood leading to a homeowners insurance claim you may not be covered due to not using properly certified products. If you want to install stranded wires on electrical receptacles you must use the type that has the clamping plate that is tightened with the screw since those little plates are able to contain the strands.
I came in from installing some old work boxes in the garage for x-mas lights to watch Ty install an old work box...what is wrong with me. Always enjoy watching the quality of Ty's work.
What's your pro tip to stop the temp fluctuations in the shower when the pump cycles on and off? Ours is dangerous if you don't get the tap set perfect
Hot water should be never above 120f because you not want to burn. It is better for water consumption to be at 100f, then you don’t need cold water to mix.
I have put in house electric water heaters - instructions say 130 degrees F is recommended, at least that is how I remember it. 140 degrees F will burn skin, unnecessary in Florida.
Have to make a comment on the Electrical. While the spade crimp terminal lugs are correct for stranded wire ... Where are the pig tails ? Using the pass thru on the device (outlet itself) for the hot and neutral means you are limiting that quad outlet to only 10 amps ...yes the break away tab on outlets -- between the 2 screws that is (unless otherwise rated, big box store outlets are never those) are only rated at 10 amps . So your power down stream is affected doing it this way. If you pig tail the hot and neutral with only one lead to the device then full capacity is available "down stream" to the rest.. think serial (with one weak link vrs Parallel -- Ty surprised to see you do it this way especially for a kitchen circuit. And yes the 2 ground wires should be pig tailed too.... in your case you would have 2 lugs under the one ground s crew ... a code violation ... For the lay people the breakaway Tabs are so you can make the outlet switched as in the top half of the duplex outlet switched and the out hot all the time. Sorry I just had to comment being a retired electrician. AND yes I agree those types of outlets should not be UL approved ---- because lay people think they can use the pass thru to connect power in and power out to each of the screws -- that makes that breakaway tab in "series" to the circuit
So nice you comment about things that are safety related! Wish to be more astute about these things but I’m the one that just wants the car to start every time i turn the key 😉
Are you just going to leave wires flopping around inside all the hidden parts of the boat like that. Is that just a lagoon thing not using any boxes for the outlets?
Wires are only loose for a max 18 inches ABYC recommendations. Leopard and yes Lagoon and every other boat I have seen does not use boxes at switch points or outlets.

"When boat yogas over" LOL
TY Pro Tip...Shower together saves water.
Happy Belated Thanksgiving! Love boatwork with Ty & Kim. Be well ❤
Boat yoga is NEVER over

Loved this one...your banter back and forth had laffin a few times great editing also.
Classic boat project

I really want to see you do a faucet in 5 minutes! I'd pay to see that😅😂
Plus, that outlet box looks crooked in the video.😮
We saw that too but then wondered if they made it “level to the world” but then since the boat curves, it looks crooked??
noticed that too but I believe its the lens type.
A good hot shower is always a good thing after a long work day. Congratulations on achieving that goal and for getting the coffee maker outlet installed.
I hate doing that on a boat! Did mine in my monohaul last year. Almost swore as much! Almost.... 🤣

Just be careful to not scald your yarbles off in that hot water!
Funniest thing I've heard on your channel...
"When the boat yoga is done..."
Yeah. Let us know when that happens 😎
You guys are amazing! I always enjoy your videos!
Ty would it have been more of a water saver if you had installed the hot water in a closed loop fashion, then you would have had instant hot water.
How's the Pro Tip finger?
Save water shower together. ❤ thats what im talkin about. You go man.
I thought you would have figured it out by now. 10-minute boat projects turn into half day adventures.
5 minute boat job. hahahaha
That faucet is cool. Can't wait to see the galley you build around it. 😉
You and me both!
You guys are awesome! Every sailing channels you guys are my favorite one💯 keep it up and God bless🙏💝🙏
Thanks so much!
Really enjoy your videos guys keep them coming
Thanks! Will do!
Exercise when the boat yoga ends... does boat yoga ever end?
I always enjoy your show and have learned a lot. I really like the faucet you chose. Can you post a link for it? Thank you!
It’s been so long I don’t remember. I’ll look again, and I find a Post here.
Bob's Pro Tip: When sailing with your sweetheart two person showers are a good idea.
Great to see you have hot water enjoy your showering 👍👍👍👍
why dont you a vac attachment for you oscillating multi tool

What's your pro tip to stop the temp fluctuations in the shower when the pump cycles on and off? Ours is dangerous if you don't get the tap set perfect
We have a variable speed water pump with no accumulator tank, so we do not get surges in temperature in our shower
Well its all about conservation, so showering together, conserves water, right? 😆
Our motto (Marine Corps squadron) was “if it jams, force it. If it breaks, it was time for a new one anyway”
Let me know when "Deck Hands" is available. I am now Debt Free and can be part of the Patreon Crew.
Great Vlog but Looking at the size of the shower Room you meant only a arm together in the shower lol the List is getting Smaller mate lol Thanks

Don't spend to long under the shower , that beef medium rare temp 😂

Wait...Ty....Overbuild anything......NEVER!!!!

👍🏽
👍😎
I spy the video editing duties have changed hands!!!! 🤣
So close! But not yet
That outlet looks really unlevel
Kind of looks that way in the video doesn’t it?
