What I love about you both is that you are true sailors. You don't need the fanciest or prettiest boat, the highest technology, or the latest and mostly useless gadgets. Keep on trucking!
Just another reason to fit 3-way valve thru engines sea-water thru hull. Shut engines water feed off which will open the extra port to which you can attach a hose that can lay in the bilge or be held so that you can use the engine as a bilge pump.
The check valve goes in the hose. It prevent siphoning back. If you rely on the electric bilge pump it will drain the battery m, when the battery runs down the boat sinks, unless you are there to close the seacock and pump out. A check valve takes a few dollars and a few minutes to install. Better still is to route the bilge outlet hose to the stern where it will usually be above the water, and fill in the current hole.
Back in the day, to have plenty of water in the bilge was normal. I grew up sailing old wooden boats which leaked. The hull leaked, decks leaked, the stern tubes leaked and cockpits were not self draining and emptied into the bilge. We had a fitted hand bilge pump and at least one hand held pump. In bad weather we put bungs in the cockpit drains in case we shipped any green water. If you did a bucket was on hand. And they said that it was the good old days! Great videos guys, I love them and am so envious now my cruising years are behind me. 🙃Oops that was a big wave.
Install dry-out pump. Two pumps system: dry-out diaphragm pump just to keep bilge dry, no check valve needed. 2nd: high volume impeller pump in case of problems. You may also consider an emergency crash pump running off the engine.
always have a bunch of plastic bags aboard. you can tuck them from the outside into any wholes or cracks on the hull, it will fill up the gap and seal it.
No idea if you read my comment (of 152) on your previous video, but your narration is MUCH MUCH better in this video. Sounds much more natural with a proper conversational cadence. Keep up the good work!
Cant remember where but i saw somewhere that your first action on taking on water should be to change tack, That`s going to lift all the through hulls that are under water out. You would be going the wrong way but you would hopefully not be sinking, which in the grand scheme of things is still a win. Im so glad you guys are back i missed you.
I've definitely heard that as advice from John Kretschmer and he's certainly had enough experience at keeping boats from sinking! I think we were minutes away from doing that if the water intake got any worse. 🙂
@@SailingMillennialFalcon Tacking is a good idea once you've searched for the leak and been unable to locate it, but I think you did the right thing in coming up with some theories and testing them while the water was still coming in. It sucks to "fix" the problem by changing tack or reducing speed, but have no idea what happened and no way test potential solutions as night falls and you're miles from land. The land adventures are great, but the things that come up when you're underway are the most interesting to me. Keep 'em coming!
Waterline bilge pump discharges are a dangerous vanity that leave you reliant on a check valve or siphon break. Better a bit of dribble on the topsides and a high discharge.
Nice episode. Glad to see you back in a groove. Beating to windward generally sucks....but Milli looked great on the drone shots and it didn't look too bad in the cockpit shots. You guys are a great team. Analytic Adam and always smiling and, from what we can see, unflappable and knowledgeable Khiara. Looking forward to the rest of this trip.
Always install a check valve, they sell them separately as well. We had a sailboat sink at our Village Park Dock because they didn’t have one, and they got drunk and forgot to pump it. They stumbled up the ramp and poured themselves into a tavern and came home to a sunk boat. They were Canadians on their way down the Hudson to the Bahamas, and it ended their trip just a few hundred miles in.
Years ago Sv Delos went to help a boat that was sinking and quickly learned that even with extra people with buckets and whatever tiny electric pumps it was not going to work. So then someone from another boat came over with a gas powered pump that pumped the water out via a hose that looked the same as a fire hose . That pump worked very well and the boat was saved. Delos then bought one of those pumps and as far as I know they still have it onboard. Seems like a great idea the hole set up is small but can pump so much water so fast .
Wow, a gas powered hose! That's not something you often hear of someone having on board. Also taking the water intake hose off the sea cock and sticking it in the bilge is a good bilge pump alternative.
@@SailingMillennialFalcon You will be pumping al sort of crap though the heat exchangers. If you are successful your engine overheats, and takes a beating. The change of an equilibrium leak is small so in the best case you will have to pump water in. Most likely you will loose your engine and electric bilge pumps and be in a worse situation.
In GGR Many use Hydrovane, they say they (or all brands) need frequent checking to see all in order. Some will mark the bolts and nuts so it can be easily seen if they have loosened. I think 5200 would be preferable, locking mount tighter, and a bolts tourqueability would be able to break loose if desired.
Could double nut the bolts or use lock washers or lock nuts or blue loctite or a combination. Or if the bolts were large ones, you could drill a hole through them just past the nut and use a cotter pin to stop it from backing out. Not sure if blue loctite is rated for marine use under water, but I’m sure the is a thread locker that is.
We completely agree about not wanting to hear bilge alarms at sea. We had exactly the same problem with our bilge pump after rebuilding our cockpit and re running our bilge pump hoses. It’s a pretty scary situation. We had 2 electric bilge pumps with float switches and 2 completely separate salvage pumps rigged as well. We sailed straight back to the boat yard only for all the pumps to stop as we entered the marina, because the boat stopped squatting!
Following the analogy from Adam that changing the Wind Vane cover was like removing and fitting a corset. I do wonder about the distribution of tasks. Surely Adam should have removed the old cover and asked Khiara to fit the new one?
One of the best on TH-cam Thank you Down to earth people Love the show every time One day when I am sailing I hope to bum into you both Best wishes Paul Sv quicky (not on the water yet hope to have it in this year)
Awesome as always, I enjoy passage videos the most. We had our first spring tornado warning late last night. Continue on my friends, cheers from Kansas.
glad to see you guys out there still …i don’t think i’m cool enough to smile while videoing my boat potentially sinking… still loving the tayana ? she seems like the perfect cruising boat in her class…
First job on a 1929 built steel hull was chipping out the chain locker, when water started pouring in the mate made a wood tooth pick & drove in it the hull. The bow looked like it had kitty cat whiskers when we lifted into dry dock. Yes all of those plates were replaced.
Looks like as close to a perfect passage as you can wish for. Thank you for sharing with us. And I will now see if I have a check valve on my bilge pump!
Had an odd bilge issue recently too lol... My check valve was creating an air lock somehow and stopping my pump from self priming even when submerged 😅
You Guys could of ended up on 'Gilligan's Island' 🏝 > 'If not for the courage of the fearless crew... 🎶', 😉. Kiara your talking like a true sailor, 'every scrap of canvas was up', love it. Thanks for the episode 👍🏻🙋🏻♂
Extremely relaxed reaction to getting flooded - there go the pros :D Hopefully the ploink noise is nothing serious, but I'm sure you 2 will figure it out. Mondays are so much better with your episodes ♥
TH-cam recommended your channel to me and I really enjoyed what I saw. Thumbs up and a new sub! Now I have to binge to find out how you ended up where you are...lol
First episode I'm seeing, won't be my last. I'm always amazed at a sailboats ability to stay together, even more so than an RVs, neither seem durable enough to take the abuses they contend with. A wing and a prayer.
I made a crash pump from a battery driver powered siphon pump (which can be used to pump diesel etc) that is as powerful as an auto bilge ...not a full answer, but it buys you the time to think clearly...
Wow ..was a bit concerned in the first few moments of this video ….You guys are just fantastic at working these problems out though! Another great episode guys.
Just about to go outside to cleanup the yard and this showed up. What a beautiful reprieve! Now, the wife unit is really growling….. Best get a move on
I am so happy when you two post a video. Even with the issue with the bilge, the circumstance seems well managed. I'm getting a check valve on my bilge pump! Haha
This taking on water situation is probably the biggest reason we're planning to build a cruising trimaran... with amas that have 100% of the main hull buoyancy. The idea of a hull filling faster than one can handle and being pulled down by the lead keel kind of freaks me out. It may become un-sailable or even flip in a very strong storm with major handling mistakes made but should stay on top of the water unless many bad things happen at the same time. And then it's a life raft, and you still have a inflatable life raft and dinghy. It's similar to the reason we're converting a school bus instead of buying a motor home... All steel means in a worst case scenario, it's likely more survivable. Understand that there are different schools of thought on the mono/multi debate, of course!
I know nothing about hydro vanes so this might not apply. I've had issues with a shaft through ball bearings build up lateral tension and then pops as tension is relieved. Applying lube to the shaft so it can slip through the inner race easily eliminates the pop.
You're certainly less stressed these days... a month ago, cutting a big hole in the hull, "a minor repair", now taking on water fast, 20 miles off-shore, calmly checking seacocks and considering changing tack... just another day... This is fine
Question not related tp this episode. Hope that is ok . We are getting ready to repaint our deck & I want the grey. Is yours hot on your feet? Appreciate you guys!!
My biggest fear is fire at sea . Had an acquaintance go from hey there is smoke and we can not go below to call for help to the cockpit floor too soft to stand on to in the water is a few min and the boat burned to the waterline and sunk . I have had water siphon down the bilge pump
So before I hit play I'm going to register my guess... gotta be the kraken. You heard the kraken get released, right? Yeah, that's gotta be it. 100% the kraken. Okay, hitting play now. Hope the sound isn't some boring boat problem. 😉
@@SailingMillennialFalcon Too late. Pretty surprised to find out the kraken goes beep beep beep and tries to crawl into the boat through the bilge. Not at all what I expected from the movies. Good job fighting it off, mate.
@@SailingMillennialFalcon Have not got around to receiving part yet, because on the move On tech data on hydro vane site they explain the method for repair.I have to say very disappointed that having issues on a near new unit, but No Warranty product.
Never trust one-way valves below waterline. I always vent bilge pumps about a half-metre or so just below deck level via a siphon breaker. I never use them--not even in the heads. They are potential ship sinkers.
I think it was Capt Fatty who said "If you are getting the water out faster than it's coming in you are only taking on water. If the water is coming in faster, THEN you are sinking." 😂
Yeah flooding ranks up there with fire. I heard that if your billage pump alarm goes off than to tack. If it fills up again than you know that it's some where in the center of the boat. But if it stops than you know it's on the opposite side. But glad found it and fixed it . But I'm surprised that they sell a billage pump that doesn't have a check valve. It must be one of those all around pumps. I'm curious about why that pump was replaced. I used to do HVAC and Grundfoss is a brand new in water pumps but they changed the way that they made the pumps. They put bushings instead of bearings and after the chance they had nothing but problems with them. But of course they didn't fix the mistake because they would last for about a year and they only had a 90 day warranty on them. I hate companies that do shit like that. I'm from the days that you took pride in your work and you built things to last. Okay, thank you for sharing your videos and see you next week.
I've heard the tack recommendation too, we inadvertently did that when we were first starting out and had a leaking scupper drain hose. Unfortunately we didn't know that then and put two and two together and instead replaced the wrong hose!
That popping sound, does it sound like what it would if your first mate was to take the bronze spanner wrench and pop the inside of the cockpit every now and then? To see if you were still alive? You do know that you may be never able to figure out what that popping sound is just learn to except it…
Hahaha maaaybe the first mate might have done such a thing 😆 Yeah, we’ll investigate it for now and if there’s nothing we can find then we’ll let it be!
Another sound a sailor doesn't want to hear..."We found the part you need, but it's on the other side of the planet and it'll take 3 months to get here, plus shipping." Unless of course you find a pilot that can make the Kessel Run in under 12 parsecs
I had thought the sea cock was for cooling the engine?, sea cock to water strainer, water strainer to heat exchanger, heat exchanger to exhaust. I'm not following how the bilge pump is connected to the sea cock...
Bigger boats have several holes, each with a sea cock. I'm sure their bilge pump has its own exit hole with its own sea cock. The engine cooling water intake would have a sea cock of its own.
So what is wrong with this channel. You guys should be up with delos. I'm about 100 episodes behind. But indulged to see but I won't finish. But I suppose it's day in day out.

They are called trash pumps. Ours can pump at least 12,000 gallons an hour. I cannot imagine why they are not considered standard equipment.
That’s not the answer in this case; you’d have to stop the Syphoning.
SMF, Thank you for this great vlog. Everyone considering a cruising life should watch this vid b/f buying a boat.

It's an eye opener how even a little water, takes lot of work to pump out and keep under control.
This surprised me too! Probably why I panicked more than I should have 🤦♀️

So...
We got to wait until next Monday to see how long did it took you to make the passage! Although, clocking 8 knots seems like Adam prevailed 😁
Good that it was a easy fix. I think fire would been the worst thing to happen onboard 😮
My biggest fear is fire at sea . Had an acquaintance go from hey there is smoke and we can not go below to call for help to the cockpit floor too soft to stand on to in the water is a few min and the boat burned to the waterline and sunk .

Oh. Wow. Now I have another thing to stress about while underway 😅
Adam, gray or black rudder on the Hydro?
Thanks ADAM! Lol.

Have you got a liferaft yet? Haven't seen one, but they're not cheap
That exact rhing happened to me with my bilge pump, i added an anti siphon valve and a one way valve, and it happened again. Super annoying.

Bigger boats have several holes, each with a sea cock. I'm sure their bilge pump has its own exit hole with its own sea cock. The engine cooling water intake would have a sea cock of its own.
LOL The more HOLES you have in your boat , the more problems you gett...............................

PS. My sweetheart you need to start working on sunscreen on your nose please
I put zinc on my face 3-4 times a day, with a hat and in shade… if I put anymore on I’d turn into a bottle of sunscreen! 😂
