Hey Adam and Kiara. RE: intermittent starter issues. One of the things I have learned over the years is the importance of having a Plan B in the event of the starter (or more often the wiring or the solenoid) failing when I attempt to start the engine. It always seems to happen when you really need to get the engine running. Most diesel engines I have seen have a solenoid/starter set up that allows you to easily "jump" the starter (i.e., bypass the solenoid that closes the circuit) in an emergency - which I define as anytime the engine will not start when I want it to. I just hate it when that happens. It is usually as easy as bridging two terminals with a screwdriver, though the sparks can be exciting when doing it that way. I actually fabricated a special tool that is easier to get to the terminals than a screwdriver. I test it a couple times every year and always before we set out for an extended cruise up into B.C. and the Inside Passage. The tool resides right next to the engine. It takes less than 10 seconds to get access to the engine and get the starter spinning. Once the engine is running, you can operate the boat and get yourself into a safe situation where you can troubleshoot the starter problem. FWIW, among the (many) spares I carry on the boat are a backup starter and solenoid. I have had to change both while in remote places, and of course many other things.
The most common starting problem is so simple...corrosion in the circuit from the key switch to the solenoid. That is why everyone needs to keep a remote starter switch (simple push button switch with two wires with alligator clamps) in the spares cabinet. One wire to the power supply at the starter and the other to the ignition pole on the solenoid. If suddenly the starter cranks with no hesitation, you know it's one of the connections between the power supply to the control board, key switch, or the long skinny wire down to the solenoid. These circuits are so prone to problems with voltage drop that most manufacturers add a small capacitor to compensate.
Don't have a remote start switch? Just use a piece of wire to jump current from the supply line to the start pole, and don't mind the sparks.
If that doesn't cure your start problems, time to pull the starter, swapping it with your spare you carry, then later when it's convenient replace the solenoid and clean the black powder out of the motor. Now vacuum bag the new "spare" for when you will need it in 3 years. Cuz you WILL need it.
That is awesome advice.
I am now 62 years old, I am from Oregon and sailed with the University of Washington on their Oceanographic research vessel in the early 80's. as a deckhand swabbie. 239 length and 39 foot beam. We motored, of course, big ass twin turbine diesel engines. Crew of about 20 and 10 to 12 research scientist onboard. Anyway we would be 30 days at sea, depark out of union bay dock in Seattle. We went from the gulf of Alaska to north of Hawaii doing research. Saw 30ft seas in the bering sea, 60 knot+ winds, etc. Quite an experience did it for a year, and then went back to University. After 30 days at sea in that kind of weather, I mean strapped into my bunk holding steerage in a massive sea, I never had an issue stepping onto land personally. Felt fine, just walked off to go get a nice meal and a beer. But then again I was 22 and had previous experience commercial fishing off the Oregon coast.
Electronic s on boats is always a nightmare.I try to use apps for chart maps weather anchor watch speeds over ground tracking close inshore where there is signals I often get signal 30 miles out to sea using budget mobile smart phones so if one breaks down I got back ups . Then for compass and GPS there is often need to have more up market mobile phone and long way offshore a satalite comings communication is often needed.
Danger: Long Post! Map wall looks great! I get land sickness too after about 6 days out . Glad you got over it quickly.
As others have commented if your issue is intermitant no crank, check wiring to starter. Solenoid should be getting 11.9V or more. You can either wire in a relay to operate the starter solenoid or (and this is more reliable) run a 10ga wire through a momentary contact (i.e starter push button or horn button.) at the panel. Fuse it and take the power off the start battery B+ post, through push button then to solenoid in tandem with original.. If you have higher than the 11.9V it's possible you have the brushes are sticking or the armature has a dead spot. If armature it should be not starting frequently. The solenoid grounds through the brushes. Another possiblity is your permanent magnet is touching the armature. It's a simple starter to remove and take apart. Look at the internal contacts on the solenoid. The studs that hold the cables are t headed bolts that act as contacts. These wear out easily and any Denso starter (like 80% af the Japan market cars in the junk yard there) use the same contacts.
Speaking of grounds and your electrical gremlins, I know all the Tayanas are semicustom but on my boat (1985 V42CC #098) the negative "bus bar" was nohing more than 8 corroded eye connector wires bolted together and taped up. There was a series of jumpered grounds in the panel cabinet but ultimately about 90% of the electrical runs thorugh these 8 wires loicated at the forward, port side of the engine compartment, about 4" below the level of the alternator (we have the same motors). I solved virtually all my electric bugs by putting in proper negative bus bars and repairing the existing black wires to ABYC E11 specs. Then beefed up the ground system and B+ wires to handle a J10 belted Balmar XT 170Amp alternator going into a LiFePo4 house bank. .I know you may not be fond of Balmar Vregs but I have had three over my life on three different boats and none have ever failed. Two of those boats were full time live aboards and ridden hard/put away wet.
Enjoy this week sailing ⛵️ sailboat after cross ocean again! Enjoy your morning coffee at latest port after 19 day’s sailing ⛵️! 😘⛵️😀 Mike from Missouri
19 days at sea...too easy guys.
As am arm chair sailor 365 days a year your journey was a breeze for me....LOL
Do love your positive attitude, so much so that my wife and I are about to venture around the big lap of Oz with our (like me) aged caravan.
Fair seas and happy days guys....Love your young spirited adventurous attitude....Cheers.
Some times it seems like you and several other sailors here on TH-cam are having to fix this or that on you vessel more than sailing. As the first mate on a 70 foot wood schooner built in the late 1960's that would of driven me crazy. Of course, our ship didn't have all the fancy toys ships have nowadays. A campus, sexton and good paper maps is all we had. Having said that, I sure wish we had some of the toys you have back then. In the end, sailing is like true love. You will do anything to keep it fresh and of course, fun. Stay groovy and stay safe.
I caught your channel late (Jan 22), so hadn’t had perspective of your sailing to date. So I really appreciated the summary, fabulous journey so far (and some great editing). Keep doing what you’re doing!
Wow, that was amazing about not being able to stand. Good luck with your repairs. Glad you are safely in St Martin. God bless you both ❤️❤️
Khiara, being coastal cruisers on a power boat, I can’t imagine how it feels to step on land after a long crossing, but I can say that we often get “boat feet” after a week or so on the water. 😁
It’s a weird feeling eh! 😆
Point of information - strictly speaking, a diesel engine has no ignition system (beyond compression). Starter? Yes. Your suspicions about the starter solenoid seems likely enough. If it is any consolation, I just spent 20 minutes trying to get the tailgate of my pickup truck to play nice.
Mr. Knives ;) I understand your point and choose not to belabor the discussion. Mind you, my diesel experience is all land based: F250 (which has glow plugs) and various tractors that do not.
Nice. Story. Video. As to the starter motor - the interwebs (your solenoid may also be called a Bendix, but it's not precisely the same): "[Q] What causes a starter Bendix to not engage? [A] In general, a starter that is spinning but not engaging can be caused by a faulty starter clutch, a weak car battery, sticky starter solenoid contacts or if the starter motor bendix is not catching the flywheel. Sometimes it can be a simple lack of power or it can be a mechanical problem with the starter motor itself."
As you had electrical problems en route, it may have been a starter battery voltage thing. The "answer" implies the diagnostic procedure. Does the starter motor turn (whizz)? Does the solenoid "click" loud enough (engage the Bendix with the flywheel)? Is battery voltage enough to force the move of the solenoid? Are battery AmpHours enough to start the engine (loads of Amps are needed for that)?
I presume you know all that, but the question is if you follow a simple procedure to diagnose or localize the problem. In your car, the check about the battery could simply be to turn the headlights on high bean and see if it is bright enough. With distance between starter and control panel in a windy environment you may have difficulties hearing what is going on down below and would need a hand above deck and an ear below (essentially two people). I saw a British gentleman restorer of classic cars (Iain Tyrrell) use a simple tube as surrogate stethoscope to listen to individual cylinders and balance between multiple carburetors on an old V12 block - so in absence of the second person a simple 1/2" tube might do the trick.
Wow, lots of things to check there! Thanks for the googling 😁 we can only do a few diagnosis steps at a time as then the motor actually starts to behave and we can’t make it not work! But my thoughts are that it’s something to do with the solenoid… or wiring to the starter… or the starter itself…
Well just have to replace everything! 😆
@@SailingMillennialFalcon - the starter motor, solenoid and bendix are an integrated whole. But depending on which is faulty, you can observe different things. The solenoid is the electromagnetic thing that shoots the bendix between (as I understand it) the starter motor and the teethed edge on the engine's flywheel. At that moment the starter motor needs to start turning. In a car - last time I had to do with that is decades ago - when you turn the key to start, you should hear the solenoid shoot the bendix against the flywheel and this produces a "click" sound that is relatively loud in a silent car with closed windows. You will have to "localize" the problem by exclusion. If your starter battery has enough voltage and Amp.hours then that's not it. It might be a cable again, like you had elsewhere, so trace those. Cabling in boats owned and run by private people is generally a mess especially when over a couple decades, the installation becomes more elaborate. All of a sudden bus-communication, sensor (instrumentation and control) cabling, power cabling, cabling to and from light and power switches and everything has become a spaghetti that is hard to work with when the shift hits the fan. One would want a couple "cable gutters dedicated to different types of cabling in the first place that make changes and upgrades in the future really easy. The question is each time, do you make structural improvements, or is that wasted investment if you sell the boat in a couple years' time.
How long did it take you guys to trust your boat?!
I’ve been on a refit on my boat for what it seems like 6 years! And it’s feels like it’s never ending…partly because our boat is in Puerto Rico and we lived in Texas/Tennessee during those 6 years so whenever we got ahead, being home from the boat 9 months out of 12 did not help at all!! Throw in 2 category 5 hurricanes in Irma and Maria and that really sets us back….not so much immediately after the hurricanes but we couldn’t come for 9 months after the hurricane because of the mess both hurricanes left! So the hurricanes plus the time after us not being here and truly seeing all of the damage it did to the boat ( not the obvious damaged) it really set us back…practically years!!
We are finally moving to the boat full time in June but the list of projects is truly depressing!!
But that’s why we are moving to the boat….to tackle all these projects and get to the point where we have caught up with the boat and from then in its regular boat Maintanance with your typical project here and there!!
🤦🏻♂️🙄
Make and keep a list of your completed maintenance tasks it’s positive reinforcement…
Getting sailboat ⛵️ ready for haul out of sailboat! 😘⛵️😀 Mike from Missouri
Hi Guys.
Please forgive me if you’ve been asked this question dozens of times already.
I’m really interested in how you’ve rigged your solar panels to the sides of your push pit rails. It seems like a very practical solution and I’m surprised other people don’t do it more often. Can you provide details on how you’ve fixed them in place, the degree to which their angle is adjustable, and how you keep them at a set angle once in position. Also, do you worry about them getting damaged by following seas and what do you do about it?
It looks like we’ll have two large panels on top of our Bimini and we’re looking for a way to add two more.
My bride and I have become big fans of your videos. Cruising has been a lifelong dream and we’re finally on our way to making it a reality. Keep up the awesome work!
Cheers. John O.
Id be willing to bet you a beer that your starter troubles are from loose wiring OR equally likely on a boat, corrosion at the terminals. Check and clean (take off the cable and make sure its actually making contact) the terminals on the starter if you havent already, (and maybe elsewhere in your pos/neg loops). Just a guess, but a free thing to troubleshoot/fix that happens to also give the symptoms you describe in the video.
I have been following your journey from the beginning. The trade off, is that if you buy an old boat for small bucks, you will always pay the piper with extra maintenance. The pay off is as you struggle to keep the thing afloat you learn so much about improvising and repairing that your skill levels improve way more than if you had have bought a modern boat. Either way I hope that your patreons and investors raise the funds so you can get a Garcia Exploration - its the boat you need and the boat you both deserve. Keep up the great vlogging.
Has there ever been a term of endearment sweeter than "Monkey Toes"?
Sweet guys. Good job 👍
Delivery season, yes? Moorings is selling a ton of inventory, a lot of which might head to the US.
Fresh new license, ocean experience, good personalities, effective 2 person team.
Gotta be thinking you could bank a nice kitty before you head back (in the fall?)
Any way you look at it, you guys have the tools to make a career in the boating world (sales, repping, sailing) if you choose.
We’re certainly not against doing boat deliveries or charters and we do try and keep an ear out for opportunities like that! If it’s more miles under our belt and more boats to sail on then we’re always keen. We heard of a few boats that needed crew to cross before we left but we couldn’t make the timing work… but there always next season!
@@SailingMillennialFalcon As you begin to sail bigger, new(er), expensive boats (like Kraken), you'll look back on your adventures with MF and smile to yourself.
But that's how you learn and gain important first hand experience. (It also helps to be young!) People enjoy being around capable, pleasant experts in their field.
There are just two types of electronics on a boat…..those that have failed and those that will fail.
Ain’t that the truth of it
Summed it up perfectly! 😂
Was there in March and it was still exceptionally windy they almost had to call off the regatta one day. 28knts was fun in a tri though.
Forgive my ignorance to Marine motors but is there a distribute with points? You may have corrosion on your points that are preventing the spark from getting to your spark plugs? Just an guess, Happened on my older diesel truck.
Congratulations on your epic trip across the Atlantic and back. That feeling you have after you step of a boat is called a boat moment and can sometimes happen periodically for a few days. I’m having a boat moment
Nice video guys - I had the same intermittent starting issues...went through starter motors, bad grounds etc...finally put a separate starting switch down in the engine room bypassing the ignition switch with separate power supply so if I can't start from ignition switch I can start it from down below. Finally found it was a wire issue from back of solenoid to ignition switch. Good luck and G'day from an Aussie in Toronto Canada.
The boat is on the hard in Puerto Rico, where it's been since the middle of February.
Popeye and Olive!?! Love it! Fair Winds and following seas!
Keeping my fingers crossed for the "land-battle" that will follow! Millie has been getting better and better since you got her :)
05:25 haha, same to me. I don't get seasick, but if I step after a long turn back on Land ... Game over. 😂 I use medicine Stripes against Seasick a day before we arrive. Otherwise I have to battle it a weak or even longer. Completely crazy. 🤪
"How long did the holiday last?" "24 hours!" The great thing is that your life is a holiday to most of us. Enjoy it and thanks for the great videos.
Loved the "butcher's bill" concept as it keeps cruising so real.
Ahhhh… Your AIS showed you were at Grand Case for a long long time. Now that you mentioned “haul out” probably turned it off along with other electronics. Perhaps Dick will give you a good price on a new Kraken so you don’t have to do all that maintenance & repairs. 😁
Simpson Bay appears to be a good place to avoid rolling anchorage. Besides boat sewage, are there other reasons why you chose not to anchor there?
Loved the happy smiles !! x
Thank you! 😊😊
Congrats on the circuit!
My first thought when your engine had an intermittent start? The Starter. Been there.
Pop rivet simple fix. Unless you have a pistol grip gun.
I would really like to see you guys clean up the wiring in your engine compartment. I would also suggest installing some nice 12 volt LED lighting in the engine compartment. I think some lighting would really encourage you to work on that part of your home.
Congrats on your trip this past year, you made it look effortless and it is very inspiring.
Omg I habe the exact same world map that I just discovered in your background in my living room! Always checking outbid little red lines of common sea ways… :)
Solenoids can stick with age, or freeze entirely. If the starter doesn’t work again, try rapping on the solenoid w a tool, which may unstick it. Then see if it starts. If it starts right up, probably solenoid is sticking. As there have been other electronic gremlins and as someone else wrote a week ago, there may be a ground fault. What is the condition of your grounding plate on the hull? If heavily corroded, that can affect grounding and you may need to clean or replace it.
Getting them "Land Legs" is such a weird feeling. It has only happened to me a couple of times and both times I was headed to the bar after a long hot run thru the rain locker. Pretty sure bourbon and beer fixed the problem. ;P
With respect to the Intermittent starter problem…I would check for a flat spot on your starter. This happened in my truck - and I’ve seen it elsewhere, too. Good luck. Z
Hey guys, great content watching you galivant across the Atlantic. About the ignition issue, consider checking your grounds and connections at the battery. I've seen it cause similar problems.
Ok cool, we’ll check that too. Its an electrical issue of some sort so it’d make sense to check any and all wires going to the motor 🙂
Would the lightning you experienced earlier in the passage have some thing to do with the electronic issues? Look like some of it got pretty close, May be it induced some voltages/ currents in some sensitive electronics.
I wouldn’t think it would explain the starting problem.
Hi, SAY IT AS IT IS AND A FEW JOBS TO SORT OUT, after all those miles . Happy days on the hard to sort it all out . Have fun, tanks for the video .
What I think is you need a kraken. Great advertisement more exposure for kraken. Show Kraken with ❤️ or likes what I say.
Hot wiring practice, spaces hope you conquer the gremlins! Best Wishes
Pretty sure you haven't done a full circuit yet where you've started repairing things again that you fixed before :-( !
5:53 I can't stand up! Need to get your ‘land' legs after too long at sea. 😂
Fab montage!! Love it!
I had the same problem on a 4jh Yanmar, the starter solenoid had a solenoid switching it on, replaced the smaller solenoid, just like a car one, and no more issues.
Well done.
Why do you have to take mast down?
I believe the Alternator regulator problem is related to the Ignition switch issue. Those Balmar Regulators very rarely fail internally
So a few episodes ago when we were having this problem in the middle of the Atlantic, we took the balmar external regulator out and just used the onboard regulator that’s on the alternator. So it’s def not the external regulator, if that’s what you maybe suggesting. The onboard regulator seems to be working fine for now so I don’t believe that it’s the culprit…
@@SailingMillennialFalcon Ok, keeping Occams Razor in mind, and all the symptoms, and the PO’s ineptitude , I would do the following.
1: Remove the engine ground cable and clean up and inspect terminals and contact surfaces to ensure ground in good. Nothing will work properly without a bullet proof ground.
2: Do the same for the 12v positive supply to the Key switch and then from the key switch terminal to the starter solenoid. Then do the same for every wire from the key switched ‘On’ terminal all the way to each component on the other ends. I don’t know the engine stop function configuration, but is seems that the motor runs as long as a ‘engine shut down solenoid’ has power (12v +)
3: The wiring to the panel and the engine looks like shit honestly, and really wants redoing. It is Very difficult to diagnose electrical issues without two things, first off is an ACCURATE schematic of the systems and second is a reasonably good understanding of how each component functions. I think you have the second part covered, getting the wiring mapped out with new tinned wires will pay off in spades in future. If done properly, the only faults likely is individual component failure.
Good to see you all in safe harbor, Chuffed.
Great episode this week ! And well done on your crossing.
Thank you! 😊
I love how much Milly has put in your beings.
You two are great.
I hear it's a PIA to check into the Dutch side of St. Martin, but the French side is like you said: "très bien"! 🥂🍾
Yep, can’t go wrong with a €2 computer form! 😆 the fancy mega yachts go to the Dutch side so it’s nice for a drive by to see them at least!
You don't get an 'ignition system' on diesel engines, you are probably referring to the starter which turns the engine over and gets it spinning fast enough to run.
Trying to diagnose a faulty 'ignition system' on a diesel will give you a headache !
Diesel starting problems, Sir. No ignition system on a diesel.
Ha, we are just eating dinner, for Monday that would be YOUR video, and it wasn’t hear, so we watched the end of yesterday’s video.!
Then we looked again... and Waa-Laa.. you posted it, now we’ll watch it.👍✅
Thank you 🙂
You two are a delight.
Thanks again.
great episode 😊
👍🎣🌊⛵💯
With your electric problems I wonder if you took a charge from a lproximity ightning strike.
Hahaha.... Mal de debarquement syndrome, though, you can't shake the feeling that you're still on the boat. That's French for “sickness of disembarkment.”
What wonderful life
Nice video.
You’re a great couple. Keep it up!
just got internet in bimini. 1st order of business catch up on your adventures! congrats! hope to bump into yall in the bahamas!
Well done on your Atlantic circuit - on ya mate...
Where are you guys? Been 2 weeks! And no IG updates either!
The boat is on the hard in Puerto Rico, where it's been since the middle of February.
That's a very real sensation Kiara.
I've never been sea sick but it's a weird sensation getting back onto dry land again which doesn't constantly rock around.
You aren't alone.
🙏🏻...
Starter issue, probably volt drop to starter pull in solenoid. Install a relay near start solenoid. Installed relay is triggered by ignition start circuit which then sends current from a nearby source to the pull in contacts of the starter motor. Hence minimal volt drop to starter motor relay. Have had same issues. Of course install appropriate fuses.
What was Kiara on, standing up? Oh yes, the delirium of weeks at sea! Been there, ha.
An another awesome video guys, thank you for sharing.
Congratulations on your achievement, 19 safe days of sailing. Your knowledge and experience grows with every video we get to see.
The challenges you take on with apparent ease seem daunting from our land based living.
Wish you both continued success back in the yard problem solving and parts updates.
Re intermittent electrical problems or ghost problems 9 times out of ten it's earthing problem check your neg earth circuit s .
check EVERY single connection in youre start circuit. loosen, clean and reconnect,
Thank you for (your honesty) sharing the challenges ⛵️
Good luck with the repair guys. Get Millie fighting fit again. She's been a good boat for you ♥♥
Did you guys never think of spending a year or two in good old Europe? Used to be the centre of the world and you still can feel that. The carribean again, how boring ;-)
A serious look of disdain and a few loudly expressed expletives at said problem usually makes it behave. Of course it will bugger up again and fail. Gritted teeth and back to finding the intermittent faulty.
Best if fault finding.
BTW, GREAT VID!!!!
Cheers
Khiara is such a hottie!
Whaaaaaaaat? I'm first....!?
awesome it iis all a learn9g curve,,,stick with it
I've heard of sea sickness, but land sickness? That's a new one!
How have those larger winches performed for you?
They haven’t missed a beat! They’ve made the difference between putting your whole body into reefing the Genoa in and just struggling a little. Mostly, the deck house winches are the main upgrade though, we don’t need to run halyards or reefing lines throughout the cockpit to use the side self tailing winches (or use our feet to winch while tailing ourselves 😂) as they’re now on the deckhouse and are beefy enough to be of use!
@@SailingMillennialFalcon Excellent!
Lol is it like a car and can jump the solenoid contacts with a screwdriver? .__.
good stuff
Nice video
Can y'all take her off camera while he's talking? You can't understand anything he's saying while she is visible.
Does the CD player still kinda work? Do you play millie her favorite song? Lol. Don't know how long ago that was in real time. Lol
Haha, we actually took the CD player out and to this day still don’t know what the CD or any song on it was!! The master and commander soundtrack is played quite frequently aboard our boat though so we hope that appeases Millie a little. 😁
An amazing soundtrack. I hope she likes it lol
:-)
Buy a New Boat!
So... Did you guys just give up on videos or are you simply unable to upload any?
I miss your weekly videos!
The boat is on the hard in Puerto Rico, where it's been since the middle of February.
False
