When a man knows stuff , He can fix stuff, but we always seem to go one or two steps better . When it all works as planned our mind shuts down the creative side and switches to 5- O'clock somewhere. Happy Birthday youngin we got this far bud...
Happy Birthday March 30 Aries baby! 🎂 We share the same birthday, but I've got 10 additional years on ya! ha Hope you had a great day and an amazing year to come!
Hey Ty, after 38 years in aircraft mechanics, I think you’re gonna rue the day you put micro switches in place of proximity sensors. Using the principles of near/far targets and impedance instead of a mechanical switch would be the way to go, I hope this works for you but using micro switches in such a wet and corrosive environment will soon be an issue, waterproof or not. Aircraft landing gear require position sensors all over the place, giving down and locked, up and stowed and In transit information in a harsh environment required impedance interruption instead of requiring a mechanical break. Good luck and I hope it works well for you. Cheers Doug in Vancouver Canada.
Another great video. I was thinking about making new ceiling panels for Wind Therapy. I’m considering making frames out of star board and covering them with fabric. This will make them lighter and easier to handle when you have to take them down. Thought? Miss you guys!
We passed a Leopard 42 this morning on our cold, rainy and windy outing in the Puget Sound. I started telling my friend about your rebuild project as we went by.
I’m not sure what type of switch you are using - NO or NC. But when it fails - usually open circuit, you want that state to disable the motor. So that if/when the switch fails you don’t do mechanical damage. I would suggest you treat the micro switch as a position sensor and add a second microswitch as a limit switch. Probably why there were two sensors in the original system.
It looks like the original system used hall effect sensors, a solid state system is far superior to a mechanical system using limit switches. It would not have been hard to build a new system using hall effect or magnetic contact switches. Is the platform hydraulic or cable operated? They could have designed a simple equalization system so the platform lifts perfectly even.
I always enjoy your videos. Thanks I suggest you send cad program of your relay switch to report you mite want to keep a friendly rapport open . Who knows what the future holds 😅 Al
Sorry to burst your bubble but you actually just went backwards in technology. The original system had proximity switches which are either normal open or normally closed and switch with the larger diameter of the plunger coming into close contact with the sensor. They have mostly replaced the micro switches you have changed to as they do not suffer from mechanical wear.
Ty makes a workroom so he can work on the boat... works out of the salon! Lol 🤣
Ty is a talented dude but his best skill is making cool parts with a 3d printer. Love it.

Happy birthday chap, we do alot of industrial machinery and we always double up on micros in series when used.
Wow Kim! you have legs of young woman! I can say this because, I just turned 65 and I work on keeping my legs strong. The lights look good.

Looking good team !!
Happy birthday Ty. Hope you all sailing to your 50th…🤣
Great episode - is that a Coors hammer? You really do have every tool known to mankind!
Happy birthday buttercup
Happy belated Birthday😄😄😄😄👍👍👍👍
Happy Birthday Ty! John 5:24
Happy Birthday Ty!

Hey guys! Thank you, we miss you too. Starboard will be too heavy but pvc board would work
I like this episode.
Happy birthday! I love watching you all.😂❤
Happy birthday late Ty
Let’s go sailing already!😂
2 thumbs up
good video!
"Look lights!" We definitely know who edits the video's and was proud of their work. Great job!
Birthday Brothers
Ty and I share the same birthday, only 22 years apart. I wish I could be 48 again. Happy belated birthday, Ty. You're another year better.
coming

Would the bad weather that hit that area is everything okay?
Lots of rain but we are ok 👍 thank you for asking 😊

Cool slowly but surely getting her put back together ❤️
I always enjoy your videos. Thanks

👍✅ Nice job guys1🏝👏
Happy birthday tye love the videos
Great to see you back going for it.. Happy Birthday ,young man. 🎂🎂 2 cupcakes, your on a diet.
robertson and cain are now world famous for being shitty all round
AH Ty I'd expect a wireless remote control and buttons as backup 😉
So... which is it? Tye's birthday boat project or your boat? I'm conflicted. Lol. Love what you guys do. Keep it up!
Wait hold on is that the mini skirt sexy pose shot lol
?????
"Quick"? Not a chance. There is no such thing as a five minute boat project. It may take 5 hours, 5 days, or 5 weeks. It NEVER takes 5 minutes.
Where are you guys... Losing faith...

as a retred maritime engineer I totally agree with irishharman.These micro switches are fragile and will give you problems.
That is something to think about! Wonder what actual owners report? Way above my pay grade to have an opinion.
You publish rather inconsistently.
