I watched AVE long before even finding this channel. Now I'm binging and finding all these little references. Respect for Mr. Dane going up.
My sunday is never complete without my dose of Athena DIY. Thanks Mads
Your channel and Leo's Tally-Ho build are my favorite vids to watch. Always look forward to the next edition. Thanks for doing this.
Use that little viewing hatch above the engine to install a transparent raw water filter and fuel filter for easy monitoring and changing. Nigel Calder advice.
That RT650 is a BEAST! Used and abused one for 11yrs before finally killing it and after shopping around again for something that might be "better", replaced it with another RT650!
I would never have thought of using my cordless Dremel rotary blade for hoses like that. Nice!
Bosch should really give you some free stuff!
Love the series!
I agree, I am already wanting to buy the Bosch "dremel" Mads showed in the video. I hate playing with the electric cord of my Dremel.
Mads, always enjoy your enthusiasm with new tools. Which guy in the right mind isn’t enthusiastic about new tools! Don’t bother about all the haters, you’re reaction is way to genuine for sponsored content. Keep up the good work!
It's always impressive to me seeing you find problems and just go straight ahead to fix them. You never let your lack of experience stop you from trying. That's a great example to me for the difficulties I come across in my life
Mads just a note, angle grinders cuts towards the front, the motion always has to be oposite to your body in every dangerous cutting tool the motion is always further apart. Hopes this tips helps you and avoids any possible accident.
Now I'm really thinking Bosch should actually sponsor you, you are a pretty loyal customer. Glad to see things moving along, looking forward to seeing that engine get shifted!
Greetings from Utah USA. I'm really enjoying your videos. I only started watching them last July. I learn a lot from you. The way you present it is very laid back. I could see myself getting frustrated easily and setting fire to the boat. I'm of Irish descent. Happy birthday and thank you.
In the future ,you label the hoses sequentially and also label the connection you removed it from with the same number. So you get pairs 1:1, 2:2, 3:3, etc. That way you avoid any confusion about what is what. Because it just doesn't matter.
That engine is a dream! If I had an engine like that I am not sure I'd even need a boat. I don't know what I'd do with it, but just having one would be so cool. Perhaps I could make a coffee table out of it, have the engine run, and with proper ventilation I could heat my home. I'd have to work on the sound issue and perhaps a bit on vibrations, but I think that Volvo runs pretty quietly and is smooth as butter.
Put that hardware in another cloth bag and zip tie it to the top of the engine. This is standard practice in aviation and has saved my bacon countless times.
Definitely do that or put the plastic bag inside of a small plastic container with a screw top lid. Plastic bags have a bad habit of tearing and "leaking" the items they were used to store together.
No man can ever get to many machines:)
Hi Mads really enjoying your refit, just when you pull the engine, think of installing a led light in the engine bay.
mark blundell lots of LEDs (why are we even suggesting it - it’s inevitable!) 🤓
Sorry guys, as much as I love LEDs I have to disagree on this application: an LED lamp includes a PCB which doesn’t exactly love the temperatures of engine rooms. In an engine room that will only occasionally be opened you are much better off with conventional bulbs or halogen as the energy efficiency is irrelevant but reliability higher.
you should put led lights in the overhead to make it easier to see without holding a light. make it bright
in the engine room
Everywhere, can never have too much light, particularly when LED
Nothing better than the feel and smell of new tools just out of the box!
Nice video highly recommended LED strip lighting in the engine compartment 35 bucks
I've been going through all of your videos, and was happy to find that you're friends with Drake and Mo of Paragon. Good fit! I really enjoy the care you take refitting this boat. As kind and thoughtful as you seem, please don't let negative people get you down. You do you, and draw from those who appreciate your sensibility. By the way, I just bought my first boat. She has a bit of a water issue too, but needs a lot less work due to her structural nature. At any rate, I am a new and committed subscriber. Oh, you are very clever with camera tricks.
Also, you are good at handling trolls. As a former instructor, who had to read student evaluations, I remember that some were helpful. Other evaluations were mean spirited and essentially useless. Don't allow people who lack your vision to sour your positive outlook and dreams. Actually, for the right people, your energy helps inspire us. So glad you're on You Tube.
Bosch should definitely give you some sort of sponsorship! Your use of their tools has definitely raised my chances of buying one.
I love watching you work and learning new ways of using tools. I have only ever used the cutting bit you used as for drilling/digging out and never cutting - something I will definitely try in the future. Thank you.
Thank you for another great video :)
LMAO, I'm not OCD, as he tapes a straight line to trash a fuel tank.
I was thinking the same thing!
Mads,if its not too late save some of that stainless for future projects.It makes great stock for brackets and mounts.
Use a hole saw drill only Deep enough to to puncture the fiberglass peel of the laminate yielding leaving a hole for inspection
Over the last few days I have watched almost all 253 films on the channel ... a great channel, I like the diligence of the work, the way the video is made and your mood;) I'm waiting for the next films.
Greetings from Poland ;)
It is a great day when new tools arrive.Well done.
Man, congrats! Your videos are inspiring to my project. Hope to meet you one day in some port around the world. Thanks!
I would cut the top off the stringer dig out the wood and fill with resin and bead filler then reclassify top and over sides. You could modify your hot box to cure off......just a thought being remote from the job👍

I agree totally, then let it dry out really good and then fill it with west system.
Iam no expert but sounds the best way to go .. mads needs expert advice though ..
Do a pressure test on the tank to make sure of no leaks.
The engine/saildrive will require removal more times than you think. You would be wise to fabricate an A-frame trolley for lifting/sliding everything out
While your#vr got your engine out. I would take the opportunity to check for carbon deposits in the exhurst elbow.. It can quickly build up. even as low as 1000hrs .
looking forward to that saildrive seal replacement and engine clean up, there both on my to do list.. As always great video.
County Diggers I’ve done my gaiter before and it’s due again next winter. Will be intrigued to see how Mads approaches it.
Shes coming together real nice. that power plant looks new. your going to have a sweet boat when your done.
I switched from 18V to 12V cordless tools years ago and haven't regretted it one bit for normal stuff.
Also tape the bag of small bits to the valve cover after you pull the engine out so you'll be able to find it quickly when you go to re-install.
I also recommend stainless steel water tank, because there is no alga growth in them. In plastic tanks always is that problem specially if you fill it with natural water from a well or stream. Keep up the good work!
That was clever with the glove fingers, Mads!
Yay for bosch 10.8 tools. Have a couple of them, including the saw and the drill. Love ' em. As you said, light and powerful enough. Cheers, Alex
The long brass hose connection on top of the HT cooling water pump is the return connection from the water heater.
The hot water outlet to the water heater is the one behind the engine, close to the exhaust pipe.
The hose connection next to the long brass return connection, is the connection for the coolant reservoir.
I know you`re not a professional craftsman, but if you are concerned about your safty, please stop wearing gloves when you use powertools like your angle grinder or circular saw. If the glove gets caught, you could loose more than some skin...
love your videos, keep up the good work.
Greetings from northern Germany
Years of filming got you into an expert level at predicting comments :D
Thanks again, Mads! Have a great week.
Excited you maybe far enough along to sail your boat this summer. Cheers.
Mads, the hoses on the front of the engine are the connections to the domestic water heater. At least that is the way my 2011 D2-40 is plumbed. I don't know about the saildrive, but some of the hoses on the back of the engine go to the transmission cooling jacket on my engine. I will look at my technical information and post again.
Just finished binge-watching your whole Athena series and am finally caught up! Keep up the great work Mads! I look forward to following your journey.

I’m a simple man I’m an automatic thumbs up.👍😎
Mads your positive attitude should be an inspiration to all us DIY boat owners that swear like a drunken sailor everytime we skin a knuckle or bump our head ...uggh
Awesome video sir. Can't wait to see your OCD in the engine bay.
GOOD call on the 12 volt tools. I have a 12 volt multi tool since about 2001 that works GREAT. Not only have I used it to fix items. I have built items for the boat with it. And, when the first battery went bad (from a LOT of use and age) I took it apart, added a 12 volt cord to it and how have a tool I can up the mast, in the cabin or wired!
Hey Mads, I think I solved the mystery of the upper access to the engine.. It is in order for you to use an hydraulic engine-lift-thingie like the one they use in autoworkshops to lift the engine up and enable you to move it straight out the hole somewhat..
Ahh. I just bought brand new Bosch Professional cut-off saw. New quality tools are sooo nice! :)
Now would be a good time to schedule installing some cheap LED lighting in the engine compartment. Or even install a miniture LED droplight with a hook/magnet mount.
I changed my saildrive seal after 20 years, and it looked like new.
I have a saildrive seal change coming on a Volvo MD17c/110s saildrive. Really looking forward to the next videos showing the change out of the seal.
Hi Mads, your thoughts on the 12v tools is correct. I run a scenic carpentry shop and have 12v, 18v and 20v cordless tools. There is a job for each of these tools and when you're in a tight spot, the 12v's fit in so much easier. Fabulous videos! Happy birthday from Vancouver, Canada!
Thanks Mads. Another great vid.
Thanks! :)
Please at least transfer the access port from the old tank to the other stainless tank. If you ever need to clean that tank you will be so happy it is there. Happy Birthday and many best wishes AKA Fair Winds and Following Seas.
Most of my equipment is DeWalt and have a Bosch tool here and there. You have a lot of work on your hands. trying to get through my TODO list as well.
happy birthday from one Aquarian to another . Great job on the boat
I hope you’ll show us the engine removal. I am curious about how to handle something so heavy from a tight spot like that. Cheers.
Recently found your vids and loving them but have a question for you: why are you not taking this opportunity to redesign your porthole/windows on the cabin? I notice you have a bulkhead splitting one window and then have a small window next to it. Would it not be better to redo the windows to better serve the layout? Giving more light and not having the weird split windows with the bulkhead?
Hope you can talk about this in a vid or comment.
Many thanks.
Having multiple grinders and one with a dedicated attachment means you are now officially in the big leagues
Hi I love your films and I'm really impressed with your attention to detail. I've been thinking for a while now that as you have a bit more room on Athena it would be a "spiffy" idea to try to build into the interior layout a micro workshop. You could use it to store your growing list of rather cool tools and spares. It would also give you an area for working on existing jobs and future maintenance projects. You could include a small work bench with a built in slot for either a router or a circular saw. And maybe a piller drill. Anyway it's just an idea. Keep up the good work, and good luck. Jon, London.
Next time you use the angle grinder you might want to think about hearing protection. Especially when cutting thin metal. I cut come stainless steel sheet in a enclosed space about 30 years ago and damaged my hearing. So take care.
I was actually wearing hearing protection :) Just didn't get it in the video.
Sail Life OK. Glad to hear that (no pun intended).
Great vlog mads as usual looking forward to the engine removal 😀
Thanks! :) Me to :D
cool stuff looking forward to the eng. pull out thanks for shareing
The taste issues with some plastic tanks can be dealt with using a carbon filter under the galley sink.
Great video! You are so much braver than I am to start medling with Athenas motor by your self x) Thank God for outboard engines! ;) Hope, when time comes, that you will consider a trip in the Finnish archipelago and give us cold finns a visit :)
Not the first - But still enjoyed watching it !!
keep that corded dremel...trust me on this...keep it. BTW: Love the shout out to AvE on the safety mcglarsus...
Birthday?Hmm...Let's party.Happy days "young"man.😁🎂
Loved the video, it gave me some good little laughs. And hi Birthday buddy...well almost. Mine is 27th and I have 2 years on you. So Happy Birthday!
Can't wait to see how you move a sleeping beast. Happy birthday!
Just replaced my old sailboat engine because it threw a rod. Got the "new" engine from a sunken boat, fired right up!
Sunday wouldn’t be Sunday without a “Hi Guys”...
Make sure to unbolt ground cable from engine block to battery noticed it still connected
Top bloke.
Toe Rail source, Crest Aluminum Products Inc., see Part No. 2820. It's the approximate shape you indicated. They have detailed drawing on-line, check it out. The old toe rail and this toe rail that I'm recommending are clear anodize. If you want to make a major improvement the toe rail, it could be stripped and then hard anodized. Hard Anodizing will make it impervious to salt water. The color however is a medium gray color.
I too just bought two new Bosch tools: a washer and a dishwasher (why does everything break at once?!). Enjoy yours.
love your movies.. thanks a lot dude!
I'd love to suggest a byass tubing cutter they are excellent for cramped work spaces and leave cuts with no jagged edges.
Sorry,bypass. Love auto mistake!
Have you considered installing LED strips in the engine compartment before putting back the engine?
Thank You
No no, thank you :D
Can you please post a midweek update video, it takes so long to wait for you every Sunday. Doesn't matter how boring it is, anything will do. I'd be happy for you to read the weather or some lines of code. Pretty Please tak skal du ha
love it
We love your film 🎥 so much
Great video as always happy boat diy
Yay, the best sunday closer is here!
Last week there were some good comments saying you could pull a vacuum on those stingers to try to the water. What are your thoughs on that?
Another great video!
Good one. really looking forward to see the engine room clear. and you get to sanding again hahaha ooh ooh and wearing your white suit LOL.
Greetings from Holland,, Kitty.
Finger tight on the angle grinder nut is good enough. When you need to change disc just grab it by the disc and turn it and it will loosen the nut. No tools needed.
I hit thumbs up before I even started watching the video... LOL
Luke , so did I. But I already knew from past experience that it would be terrific.
Thanks for the awesome video
Happy Birthday Mads! 🎂
Mads checkout "battery operated liquid transfer pumps" on Amazon. These are most commonly used for fuel. Another TH-cam channel I've watching raves about these. These do not require the supply tank to be higher than the destination tank.
No condom joke here! I'm just glad you're staying protected
...the goggles I mean!!
12:55 - was telling you to get out your fancy label maker to document the connections ;)
Laughed when you talked to your engine, must be love.
i'd remove the raw water strainer for better side to side access
Great as always mads!!! I’m off to go get some chips.
