Fixing a LEAK in my sailboat UNDER WATER with Splash Zone - UNTIE THE LINES IV #13
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ธ.ค. 2018
- Back to Marina life! I had moved Karl to Vista Mar Marina so Maria could give me a hand to weld the hole in my fuel tank.
It’s also time for some engine maintenance!
Unfortunately, I find a little something that adds another fairly big project to the boat job list: a small leak under the waterline. Time to hop into the water and fix the leak with some Splash Zone, an epoxi that cures under water.
Ahoy,
Nike & Karl

This is NOT a live documentary! There is a time difference between filming and publishing due to the time it takes to send data home, to edit the episodes and to internet not always being awailable on those little remote palm tree islands :
This is why I watch. Not only are you a bad ass, but you put yourself out there, with the highs and the lows. I'm man enough to admit I've gotten so overwhelmed when things aren't going right I've sat down and cried, but then pick myself up and plug on. Good job, Nike. It always seems to work out in the end. Be safe.
Gary Souza yes, Gary, sometimes one has to just sit and let it all out. It helps to gather some strength to power through the challenge ahead.
I always find that keeping a clear focus on what you want and where you want to be also helps to overcome moments where you feel overwhelmed. It’s mostly a question of will power and then some planning on how to get things fixed 🤣
Nothing beats careening on a beach with a mudflat shoal for a quickie job on outside hull work, changing a shaft seal or eliminating ALL thruhulls, keep 2, 1 in, 1 out, and use a manifold and plumbing to move fluids around inside, reducing risk of leakers.
It appears that boats and boating aren't always enjoyable. Your mechanical abilities are most impressive.
I’ve said it before and will probably say it again but I love your can-do attitude and perseverance. “There is nothing I cannot do, only that which I have not yet done”. You know when to ask for help, take advice, and not even skip a beat. I love that you also share with us that you are not always Wonder Woman and show you can be vulnerable to the ups and downs. You’re truly an amazing woman Nike!
Rusty Brindle thanks, Rusty. For sure, I still have to improve in the “asking for help” department. Sometimes a lot of time passes and a lot of trials and tribulations before I can admit to myself that I won’t be able to solve some problem by myself ...but I am getting better at it...at least that’s what I am telling myself 🤣
@@WhiteSpotPirates I agree with Rusty. You really are magnificent!!!! Of course none of us are perfect but I find myself cheering for you and celebrating your successes.
I would suggest reinstalling your oil filter in a remote position because it's way more easy to replace it. Also, rather than open the heath exchanger you can run freshwater for a few minutes after using the engine or clean internally with buster clamp, much easier than open everything every time.
You are an inspiration for anyone looking after old boats. Keep up the great work and keep smiling...
You and Maria always impress me with your skills and the fact that you get it done yourselves. True sailors.

Mike Jacoby, bit of a legend in my world. Such a bummer to have unendingly things needing work. My first boat was 40 years old and after 3 years of non-stop fixing I finally realised that I wa and wold always be just spending more time doing that than actually using the boat for what I brought it for. My second boat while costing more has easily repaid that in the last 2 years by having nothing major go wrong. And instead of sailing 3 days then spending 3 days fixing things I can just sail all the time and keep up with normal maintenance along the way. i was very emotionally attached to my first boat so it wasn't easy to "give up" on her but what made me take the decision was that I finally realised I just wouldn't feel confident sailing big oceans when at any time some thing was likely to break.
The grass roots practicalities are as interesting as the sailing. Tx for the videos. Hope to be a patreon one day.
Definatly seen a vid u have done in 2021....so you didn't sink! Keep up the good job. Graham Sheffield England
That "Splash Epoxy works great on everything. I've used it for over 30 years. It use to be called "Bro-Lite".
it's expensive...but for a reason. It's like liquid gold :)
I’m a 19 year Journeyman Diesel Mechanic. I’ve worked on that engine more times then I can count. I ran a shop working on those almost exclusively.
It’s great that you’re doing your maintenance yourself. It looks like you’re doing a quality job.
FYI it sounds like your waiting for the glow plugs to warm up before you start. Don’t bother. On that engine you should only need those in cold weather. Even if it doesn’t start (which it will) you won’t cause any damage to the engine.
You are a champion Nike,taking care of all the boat jobs 👍
See you next week 😊
I love that you allow us to see you at your lows. I admirer your accomplishments and abilities. That fuel leak was just the worse... I had a tank rupture and the smell is still there years later. Had to tear out lots of insulation and wood work. Sealed and coated as much as I could without gutting her completely. Did you come on a secret to eliminating the aroma? Oh on a side note..."Is that engine ever beautiful!!!"
lowbrowscruffy i just tried to clean it as good as possible and then I used some of those car-smell jellies and for long term some coffee that I put into little bowls throughout the bilge. It worked pretty well actually 👍
Every time I watch an episode I am amazed at your will power and tenacity. Keep up the good work and keep enjoying the world. You deserve it. Just wish I could be there.
It can get on top of you , but although you would be happy being back to see the folks, you know you would miss karl after a week or so; get him welding up , then give yourself a break , otherwise you will start question if it's all worthwhile take a break take a bit time off but get the floor welded especially now you've got a new engine in there .
David Macdonald sometimes it’s good to take a break from the boat work for sure. And then come back with fresh wind and energy. I don’t mind the boat work in general, but it’s the constant battle that sometimes wears on me. If there are times of happy sailing in between, then I usually don’t mind working on the boat for a bit, it’s part of the deal and usually fun as long as it does not come in chunks that are too big to chew 🤣
You really are something else 👊
In that opening scene you looked like you were ready to cry. The thing I like most about your channel is that you show your emotions so well. I've followed you since you first walked onto Karl, and you've yet to come across a problem you couldn't handle, and handle well. Even though you have self-doubts, you continue to overcome all obstacles. Remember that when the next problem arises! Thanks for the videos!! ;-)
BayAreaBlues sometimes it gets hard to keep on going. But usually, I can motivate to get it done thinking of all the places I will travel with Karl. But it surely does take some energy to keep the spirit up at times
Hang in there. Pats on the back and platitudes only go so far when things are busting faster than you can fix them. You’ve met and bested a lot of challenges sooo... “It’s always darkest before the dawn”( hell, I couldn’t resist)
I've been following from the beginning and it's amazing how far you've come. You just tear into Karl like a Christmas dinner now.
Me too! Think I was #21 & I too LOVE your AUTHENTICITY! I have a son named Konner & we love Karl with a K! If you ever make it to Santa Cruz, CA my 2 boys & I would love to learn to sail, work on sailboats. We’d be happy to help with anything! 💜🌈😁🦋🌴
Love your resourcefulness on many fronts especially in the engine room. ". I think I'll just tape it with a block of wood." Sweet. An idea you might want to pursue when handling small quantities of fuel, like filling your filters, pick up a Turkey Baster. You can suction out or fill all kinds of liquid with less mess. Thanks for you smiles.
Just a quick note to say thanks for the entertaining and informative videos. I consider you the O.G (original gangsta) of all my sailing subscriptions.
Happy New Year, Nike! May your 2019 be everything you desire and hope for!
loverly when a plan goes together , no leaks , great vid.
Beyond the beyond how you tackle the challenges that come you way....love and highest respect
In the large industrial sites we have here, and even in some private pickup trucks, there are large triple (series) diesel filter canisters on engines. They probably are used on larger marine/ship engines too. It not only provides backup capacity, but also more extensively filters water and debris and other contaminants out. With the questionable diesel quality in tropical or remote locations, you might wish to install an oversized set of standard sized industrial filter canisters in your fuel line. It might even be an advantage simply due to common availability of them because of high demand for ship engine maintenance in areas like Panama.
Nike, I met the gentleman who sewed your sail in last week's video! I recognized his boat, Bertie, on the same dock at Ft. Pierce City Marina right before Christmas. I told him he was now famous since being featured in a WhiteSpotPirates video! He said you were quite an adventurous young lady, and I have to agree. Best wishes for a Happy New Year!
S/V Magnolia ah, totally forgot to send Peter and Heidi the video. What a small world, that you know them, they are such lovely people! And what a boat!!! Best wishes for 2019 for you as well.
Hi, have been enjoying all your videos from the beginning. I've had 30+ foot boats for over 20 years. I've been trouble shooting and fixing electrolysis problems on boats and land (Slab Leaks) all that time. While watching this video I've realized you have an electrolysis problem that is causing your leaking tanks and now hull. Don't worry it could be something as simple as a bad wire caring low voltage. Tons of DIY info on how to trace stray voltage. I do know aluminum boats are extremely vulnerable to electrolysis in all its forms. I know for example one stray button battery lost in the bilge can sink an aluminum boat in a few months. Also, I am retired Airline Pilot and know their are tons of DIY ways to find cracks and thin spots in aluminum structures. Something you should plan on during your haul out. Hope to see you out their soon on my project pock cruiser (Newport 27) soon. Fair Seas and following winds.
I love changing oil and filters. There's something really Zen about freshening up the engine, it's almost like I can hear it sigh with relief! Big Red looks great!
Keep your spirits up, you are inspiring all of us, thanks so much for sharing the ups and downs, happy new year to you and wishing you fair winds
Amazing. Love watching your can do attitude. I have a 37’ sailboat and will now start trying to do more myself.
The joys of boat ownership. Moments of fun, moments of terror, hours of work.
oceannavagator 🤣yep, that kinda sums it up 🤣
I don’t like to bring nonboaters on my boat. They don’t understand the 19 hrs of work and hundreds of dollars per hour on the water. Plus when you dock, they leave within 30 minutes while you have hours left to clean and maintain the boat.
I just want to take a moment to say that as far as I’m concerned you’re doing cruising right. I’m just a lake sailor with a 1960’s plastic fantastic racer/weekender so maybe I’m not the best person to say but I think you do things right. TH-cam is full of people that either spend all their time fitting out and preparing to leave or courting disaster through inexperience. You went and got an affordable old boat, you take care of it right, you don’t bother with frills, and you just got out there. But you’re also very careful. You got out there and actually did it and you do so very safely. So good on you. You look like you could use a little pick-me-up after that leak but sh!t happens with boats. You can do it - you’ve already proven that you can. As long as you’re enjoying it keep up the great work.
I like your maintainance and repair videos the most! Kind regards!
Glad that I follow you on other social media sites so I already know the outcome of the water in the bilge drama. Good ol' Karl. He may have his fair share of scars but he keeps on sailing.
The more I look, the more I enjoy this. I am sure your problems are solved by now. Best wishes for 2019.
Worked in the local Boat yard store for a few yeats. This stuff is handy, but like she says, best for e.urgency temporary repairs.
That's not problems you're having that's progress you're making. Great Adventures ahead.
Max Supermax that’s the way to look at it 👍🤣😇
"In a quite whisper" That was a great video Nike, I really liked the drone shot at the end going away from the dock.
Gene Berry I liked those, too. A friend of mine recorded those when he came to visit.
I love the sounds of a diesel in the morning. Sounds like......Victory!
I admire you! It will allways be challenges, though.
Sorry for your troubles - sweet new engine though, that's one thing you shouldn't have to worry about for a long time.
Die Energie die Du investierst ist bewundernswert, der Frust verständlich.
Das macht auch den Charme Deiner Filme aus, das Deine Geschichten nachvollziehbar sind.
Um den Tank raus zu kriegen, musste ja das halbe Boot zerlegt werden, aber natürlich eine gute Entscheidung den Tank wieder dicht zu bekommen.
Hoffe das noch ausreichend Zeit da ist, das Boot zu benutzen, neben der notwendigen Maintenance.
Frohes Neues aus dem kühlen Deutschland und viel Glück!
Nikki it can be hard sometimes but you got this! and Karl needs some attention now so give him so loving and then he will be happy and ready when you are! Nice job on the tanks make sure you check the water tank inside and out before you reinstall it after all that work.👍🏼⛵️😎
Mopar Man 69 this one is leaving Karl for good. I never used it, it came with a whole when I bought the boat...and I have enough water in my plastic tanks so I won’t put the stainless monster back in 😬
Good job girl, I have an Alberg 30 with a Beta Marine installed and love that little engine.
Stay safe.
Brianne C oh they are such lovely machines 😍😍😍
I'm so impressed by your ability to identify the the task that need attention. Obtain the necessary information. And establishing the necessary amount of courage to overcome any obstacles in your way.
You deserve some better luck, you really do. Karl is one lucky boat , having ended up with a owner that appreciate him so much and are willing to fight so hard for his well being.
I'm sure with your persistence the good old Karl will experience greatness again.
I love your videos... But it stings a little every time I see you struggling with some bad news... Don't give up , I believe in you. Best regards Jarle B
Life on an island thanks, Jarle. Sometimes it does get a bit overwhelming for sure. But then I think of all the beautiful places I have traveled to with Karl and still will travel to in the future and then I fight my way through it.
Most of the time, I enjoy the work on the boat and it’s a great challenge and opportunity to learn new things. Actually, it makes my life quite interesting and diverse. The only thing that annoys me is that it usually happens when I am just about to head out to go somewhere.
On the other hand I have to be extremely grateful that Karl shows these things to me before heading out...otherwise the stress level would be even higher ☺️
You got this captain
Great video. Thank you.
You are one tough lady, hope next year brings some better luck. Thanks for the videos i really enjoy them.
Thanks for sharing the video.
A good running diesel always warms the heart of a snipe. Glad to see your tank is SS and not aluminum. More flexibility with weld repairs on SS. I have looked into aluminum repair and welding compounds of low enough temperature to use with a propane torch, but MAPP would be preferable.
spencer marshall oh, this is a water tank and it won’t go back in. The diesel tank that needs repair is aluminum......😬
oh :) The aluminum welding (brazing) compounds I was speaking of you might want to engage are for hull repairs anyway. You have that twin keel and the thing is made to be beached. A leaking seam near shore on her should only be a tide repair away. Striking an electric bead to that tank's welds was not one of our better decisions. That tank should have been removed and cleaned down and coated on the inside and on the bottom outside. If an arc was struck to it things might have very well gotten worse on that.
You are simply going to have to try working with some of these low temperature flame compounds Nike. You bought an aluminum boat and you need to get some scrap aluminum to screw up on learning to keep Karl whole and your happiness in tact. When you strike a bead electrically to aluminum the panels swell from the heat more so than using a small flame. That is more controllable with a torch. When the panels swell from the heat the welds can give out left and right. That is why the welder who worked on Karl in the first refit used a gas flame. Re-welding an aluminum seam electrically I am learning more often than not isn't the best way to go about it. But the epoxy compound you shoved in there works for now. I would shutter to think I will meet you on the hard one day and poor Karl's seams are a mass of epoxy filler. You looked saddened over the re-emergence of that issue. A small MAPP gas cylinder and torch head should be your best friend by now. Seasoned snipes know something about brazing and welding so the time has arrived for you to do your aluminum welding 101 class dear. There are youtube videos with people using those compounds around too :)
Really enjoyed that.👍
Great adventure,one of the manifolds is leaking,most probably exhaust by the sound of the squeaking,good luck with it.
I love how you prime your filters. Very smart.
It’s a bad idea, that’s unfiltered fuel straight into the pump, very risky to save a few min of bleeding.
@@jordanm6473 how do you know it is unfiltered?
She was pouring from a jerry can, never prefill diesel filters, the fuel needs to be run thru the filters. Oil filters different story, fuel filters, you’re asking for trouble.
I suppose you could perfectly clean a diesel fuel can, then pour filtered fuel in it, then directly into the filter, but I don’t think that’s what happened, and even if it was that’s a lot of opportunities for fuel to get contaminated.
Doesn’t take much contamination at all to clog an injector, never seen a engine manual that recommends doing it that way. May be fine 4/5 of the times but not worth the risk.
Oha, ich hab' ja nun schon viele von deinen schönen Videos gesehen - diese dauernd erforderlichen Reparaturen können aber auch an den Nerven zerren;!Ich kenne das "ein bisschen"; Wir hatten vor Jahren eine alte Kunststoffyacht (Contest 30)und mit der einmal Hamburg - Karibik u return gesegelt;! Wir hatten aber nicht so viele Probleme mit Rumpf,Tanks, Ballast;! Hauptsächlich mit dem alten Benzin-Motor;! Ansonsten: Du bist ja erstaunlich gut motiviert - Motto: Aufgeben kommt nicht in Frage...."! ( Nur leise gedacht: " Hätte man doch lieber das Boot nicht umbenannt....??) Du weisst ja, alte sailors sind sehr abergläubisch..."!)Gruss aus Hamburg;
Great job..... Love
Niki, if you not already havet it onboard, l suggest that you buy you a Locktite O-ring kit so you Will be able make O-ring your self of any kind if needed.
I love to follow your updates om TH-cam. You are a noe of kind. Thank you. Best regards from Arild Tharaldsen
enjoying this video …
I love new motors. I'd do the Duralube.com or the slick50.com if it was my motor. I love watching you. Sneak peaks for next time.
Bright Eyes fan? Pretty sure that's Conor singing at 8:38.
I just ordered some Splash Zone for my own boat. Steel hull, well once steel, now rust. Never used it before but hopefully will be the ticket I need. I can haul out this Fall, just have to limp through until then. Fair winds.
Sam D. Yes, it’s perfect for limping through 👍 good choice. And yes, love Conor Oberst / Bright Eyes so it’s very likely that you here him singing in the back ground ☺️ good luck with the repairs!
Mucha suerte Nicki , abrazos
Im in awe, love at first sight.
Your a lovely looking specimen
Especially looking at you and your perspiring.
Thankyou very much..You make a good home i feel that.
Magic to see.
Wish i could help .
Oh well ..life throws alsorts of proplems your way sometimes.
And you just got to mend and try to survive.
Love you and your Vlog.
Wrestling the water tank left an impressive bruise on your right shoulder. Hope it didn't feel as painful as it looked. Can't wait to see what happens next.
mcd22630 the jewelry of boaters 🤣🤣🤣 I am sure it wasn’t that bad, I definitely don’t remember that bruise so it can’t have been very bad ☺️
Your awesome one day hopefully I’ll run into u down there it be great to hang with someone of your great everything attitude and get herr done ethic
A box of nitrile gloves ...... always handy
Happy New Year .
I'm really impressed with your tenacity. Did you manage to get your tank fixed?
Hi and a Happy new year to you! It hurts me to see that you are struggling with your hull again! Hope that you have all ready sorted this out! :)
Regarding your freshwater cooler... as long as you have a ok quality of cooling additiv in your fresh water there should be no reason to pull the pipestack out of the housing. There is nothing no contamination on that side that messes it up. Just stick with cheking the sea whater side, less work and less possibility to break something :)
I think your air intake port is supposed to be pointing down to ensure no heavy dirt gets pulled in. I noticed it was pointing up towards the hatch.
muy bonito video
Sitting in your cockpit your gps is 8°29.0344N 79°56.6169W next to the larger catemaran. The gps system can also give you information on time. Hence it is a "4-dimensional system", that can show where you are at what time. The time right now is Dec. 16 2019 at 21:37:44 London time 🧔 🎅 ... Merry Christmas.
Chin up keep going
Happy New Year
400L ! WOW, what a huge water tank !
Best episode yet (I only recently discovered your channel) I can empathize with struggling to keep things fixed...
I'm now done with my after work snack and am heading out into the snow to repair a blown brake line on my truck. At least it's still above 20 deg F 😉
Yupi!
You are so cool!
As I watched you fighting back the tears I wanted to hug you and remind you of how far you've come. Karl was a major disaster and you worked through everything, one at a time. Remember to slow down, think things through and ask for help when you absolutely need it. When you find that your energy and spirits get really low, climb off Karl and turn around to look at him to see how far you've actually come. Give yourself some credit, give Karl some credit for responding to you and then get back to work. Thanks for sharing your video journal of your life.
happy new year...fron brasil
YOU ARE INCREDIBLE, EINFACH " WUNDERBAR " !!!! WE ENJOY YOUR ADVENTURES,KEEP IT UP. CHEERS, BONNIE AND WILF , SV " WARLORD " PANDA 40 CUTTER IN BEAUTIFUL BRITISH COLYMBIA, CANADA
Nike , happy New Year
Spray some corrosion block type spray. Sure to be some good ones from Germany. I’m in aviation so I am familiar with corrosion issues. Need a waxy type spray on everything
boomchicaboomboom - nice job
also forthe screws on the heat exchanger i've always used copper grease (antisieze)... now is new and they unbolt easy but in time they wont... always search in the heat exchanger the broken piece fromthe missing zinc on the anode... most of the times they broke losse and endup around the circuit... once it cloghed the output of the sea water on one of our engines...
ElectronicMarine yep, good hint. I did find quite some pieces when I looked around. It was my first change, so luckily I looked at everything quite thoroughly. That could have easily clogged some of the water flow
Don't get overwhelmed, one issue/project at a time.
I cant imagine having a hole in my home. I would be stressed to the max, unable to sleep or stop thinking about it. If it ever happens again you will be a lot more prepared and the issue will be a lot easier to deal with, mentally.
boostnsvt since it is not the first time, I am a little less stressed but it is for sure not super fun. It’s good to walk through the temporary fix in the water, though, good prep for an emergency at sea repair. And good to see that a small hole like this can be fixed easily.👍
If i remember the bottom needs paint. Maybe when you scraped it last you took a bit out of the barrier coat and now its a leak.
Nothing you cant fix. And you need a haul out anyway.
Just trying to make it sound like its part of the job. And it is.
Karl will be ready when you are.
your so cool!!..
So good you doing all this shame other girls don't give it a try nice to see very well done good job.🇬🇧👍ps most men probs not try it tbh.
what is this boat made of?? good for you so many things to learn. , a mechanic , sailboats break!
the racor was pretty dirty ... do you use the diesel aditives against vegetation (bacteria) that forms in the diesel?
ElectronicMarine yes, I do use additives, but I had not cleaned the bowl in a while...😬
Had no idea I would be feeling some old boat's aches and pains so keenly from across the world. __()__
I get my grandaughter to watch you. She’s 10 and ur her superhero. She is mine.

When I see you in your videos and you are all sweaty, haggard and dirty, I can't help but think "what a beautiful woman!" You are very inspiring!
Kleiner Tip für große Mädchen: Ihr habt da gutes Epoxi, das gehört für den Notfall in 2 große Spritzen mit mehreren groben Schwämmen und ein paar kleinen Brettchen in eine Notfallbox! Solltet Ihr einmal auf laufen und ein Loch bis zur größe von einem Golfball unter der Wasserlienie haben!
Wenn der Notfall eintritt beide Spritzen in der Schale leeren, vermischen und die Schwämme in das Epoxi drücken, dann sofort die Schwämme auf das Loch Drücken und mit den Brettchen verstärken. Mit dem Hintern drauf setzen und warten bis das Epoxi ausgehäret ist. Während der Wartezeit, je nach Glaubensrichtung Gebete sprechen und sich in Erinnerung rufen, das der erste Papst auch Fischer gewesen ist; sich bewust werden das Seeleute immer zusammen halten.
PS: Nach dem Unfall kann man auch gefahrlos wieder zum Ateisten werden.
😂🖒
I saw Haribo gummy bears! My favorite, i always looked forward as a kid to our package, from Pirmasens, at christmas of Lebkuchen and real Haribo gummy treats!
Cigarmann oh yes they are truly THE best!!!
Its all well and good to build things in ,, use up all your space etc ,,, but when its time to get stuff out its a different story,,,
Mega brutal 🤗🤗🤩🤩🤩🤗🤗🤗🤗🤩🤗
They didn't make that tank easy to service, would have been better as 2 more manageable size tanks.
That hull leak is a worry, hopefully it is only a void in a weld that has corroded, that's what it looks like anyway.
Keep the chin up Nike, you are doing what everyone else wishes they were.
fishaholiclures what u saw was by the hole, that’s just where it trickles through from the back. The hole was not on a seam but in the middle of the plate
Let this be a lesson to all you guys with filthy engine rooms and rusty engines! This is how you do it.
I am so lost. I think we need another boat tour video. I have no idea where this tank is coming out of. Did you have to cut up the saloon settee to get this out?
tomm1968 yes, this is below the table and below the satee
