Beau and Brandy a down to earth couple not putting on airs and always put out great content and only have 55 thousand subscribers , I am totally baffled by this and why they don't have at least 700 thousand
Guy at our marina had a Morgan 38 CB. He did the same thing you are doing. Sailed to the Med from Galveston, Tx and back without problems. He was very happy with the results. I wrote in the past, I don't understand why you don't have way way more subscribers. I really like the content and think it is in the top 5 sailing channels. As to the troll know as 86, ashamed you cannot use him for ballast as he seems denser than the concrete you used.
I'm glad you guys are able to get out of the boat yard and go adventuring . The cruising life should be more than just repairing boats in exotic locations and I'm looking forward to seeing the performance results of the upgrades on the prop and the keel closure
I put a pss in our Pearson 28 when we electrified. It’s worked as advertised. I didn’t find a 7/8” version with the vent, so we “burp” ours every spring when we splash the boat. I don’t love the chain sprocket either. Will pick your brain a little about your new coupling. Loved seeing Tecal and its furry locals! Thanks for the video!
Good work, as always. I fitted a PSS seal exactly like that last year, replacing one of uncertain age that didn't have the vent and had to be burped after every haul-out. A couple of comments... I was surprised by the strength of resistance from the bellows (certainly compared to the old one) when setting it up, so being a bit nervous about the holding power of the set-screws, I added a hose-clip round the shaft tight against the stainless rotor, just to be sure! Also, as you'll have seen from the instructions, the set-screws are single-use only - so for any subsequent adjustment of the stainless rotor position, they should really be replaced. Finally, from the perspective of working inside the bilge, I was quite surprised to find out where the boat's water-line actually was! The end of that vent-pipe has to be pretty darned high (I went for on the boat's centreline, high in the lazarette) and very well secured, to avoid it becoming a flooding device!
If that PSS ever fails you, just go with Tides. Much easier, does not rely on the hose compression to apply pressure, lip seals are simpler, no set screws denting the shaft. Just an overall better system imo, but there are other options/brands and all should do the job as expected.
Beau, great video. Having been in the automotive field for over 30 years, may I suggest a "better" hose clamp than the one you use. Those clamps tear up the hoses with the gaps in the bands AND are prone to loosen up/strip out. A T-Bolt or high pressure fuel clamp is a better choice. They make them in stainless as well. I did a quick search on Amazon - "304 Stainless Steel T-bolt Clamp kit" - will show you many options.
Thank you for this New Year gift to us 🎉. I humbly appreciate 🙏🏿 this sweet video. Wow this was amazing 👏. Love you guys be save as we awaits all your excited adventures
Slide in the shaft, that's what she said. Loved the show, as always, and I am thankful you brought us along to Tecal. It was wonderful and very interesting. I hope all the water stays out of your house. All the Love, All the Power
If 1 gallon is 3.78 liters, then it is close to the ratio you thought would be good. 1 liter of room temp water would be almost 1kg, so 6kg of cement to - let's say - 3.5kg of water. So I'm pretty surprised that your mixture was so thin. Btw! love the marina episodes :) but sailing is awesome as well! Great work Brandy and Beau! Greetings from Poland :)
Great explanation of the PSS. Wondering why you choose concrete as ballast. Any metal would have had much more weight density per sq inch. Lead might have been hard to locate in a rural local, but iron is pretty easy to find. Rebar is everywhere, cheap and 5 times the density of concrete. Not a criticism, just curious. Nice work though.
Great episode. I was blessed to visit the Mayan temples and sacred sites in Southern Mexico in 2008with a small group with a Mayan shaman doing ceremonies for 10 days. It was very similar to where you visited. It's a fascinating place. You certainly have done a lot to your boat kinda reminds me of Uma and all they have done. Highest Blessings
Thanks for the trip. A day of education and history, is always worth the journey!! Enjoy the ride... 😊 30 day cure time.. sounds like you'll be there for a while.. Not sure of your timeline, seeing all the rain. Guessing you are hurricane season.. Haven't herd of speak of the holidays yet.. 😕 .. Hope all the work is doneby the dry season of Jan -May
What a beautiful video ! Of course, where to save it ? I"ll put it in my Sailing Prop Shaft Playlist. Although the Mayan part and the spider monkey, that is great stuff to remember.
Thanks, Tikal was a highlight on a 2017 overland trip, & I also took off on my own to wander the jungle paths-did the monkeys fling poop at you from the trees as they did at me?😂
It sounded like they didn't want to add extra weight and the concrete (mortar?) was already much more dense counting filling open space around the swinging keel.
I’ve used PYI units on my last two sailboats. I found that the collar slips over time and the set screws are a challenge if they strip. I decided to install a stainless safety collar (from Amazon 304 stainless) and the problem was solved. I have since decided on lasdrop with a safety collar on my third sailboat.
Unfortunately when dripless shaft seals go bad which they do you usually have to haul the boat to fix them. Drip seals are easily adjusted and maintained in water. They also test your automatic bilge pump.
Great video guys , hope the shaft seal lasts , I too wonder why you only get 50+ k subscribers , can’t work that one out because your content is always varied, I’ve been watching from the beginning, happy new year to you both, stay safe 🇬🇧G
The Philippines also is on the imperial measurements. But I think that is mostly on paper only. The US was supposed to go to the metric system way back in the 1970's. For whatever reason that never happened. Common sense says if you are the only country doing it, then odds are high you are doing it wrong. I look forward to see if/how there are any problems with this deleted. 👍🏻
The concrete is for weight only, so cracks won't change the weight. With that said, the concrete mix will be quite strong and isn't taking much load. It should also help stiffen the keel. Don't worry about dowsing with water as it cures as that is usual only needed where exposed to direct sun to prevent the surface drying out. If ambient temp is really hot, a bit of water won't harm anything and may help slow the exothermic reaction at the concrete sets.
Hi Beau and brandy I don’t understand why America doesn’t use the metric system it works so much easier , instead of all that Imperial rubbish, I was six years old when it come into Australia and thank God it did, This video, I said it on 1.25 speed because Beau talk so slowly and actually speak his voice up the normal LOL anyway keep up the good work guys. Can’t wait to see the girl back in the water again Cliff from Australia
200 lbs up high is not the same as added weight hanging below the keel. If you only added 200 lbs to replace a 200 lb centerboard you may find you have increased the tenderness at anchor (rocking) and possibly increased the chances of a knockdown in heavy winds. I had a swing keel and would keep it extended at anchor to limit the rocking at night which was a huge plus. I think I would have added at least 300 lbs of concrete to help with self-righting. And I'm sure you already know in your research that you won't be able to point as close to the wind without the centerboard. Not a real issue really with a cruising boat, but a consideration. Good luck. Love the videos.
You should definitely stop following Dan and Kika! Watching their brilliant work with Uma cause uncontrollable desire of monumental rebuilds of the boat. And more glassing! (Surely kidding)
Thank you for the temple tour. The steps looked so steep. Wow! Beautiful!!

hahaha, glad someone else was in on it with me. lol. they are so cute, but MINI brontosaurus... even cuter!

If you use concrete. add some acrylic in the mix, it will make your final result more waterproof and tighter. No need to seal over then.
That's the same shaft seal we have. Very happy with it and the dry bilge.
So cool! You guys are the best! 😎❤️🥰
I used concrete and lead ingots sits lower in the keel

I think I have one of those PSS seals. I have a vent line coming from it, but my vent line always has water flowing though it.

Hello, how does this stack up against a Vetus shift seal, best regards
Hope you used fibercrete in your keel as expansion and flexibility of your boat will cause cracks in the morter.
The concrete is for weight only, so cracks won't change the weight. With that said, the concrete mix will be quite strong and isn't taking much load. It should also help stiffen the keel.
Don't worry about dowsing with water as it cures as that is usual only needed where exposed to direct sun to prevent the surface drying out. If ambient temp is really hot, a bit of water won't harm anything and may help slow the exothermic reaction at the concrete sets.
@frank4one Agreed. That was a lot of water. But just need to clean out later I guess.
Beware that you need to replace the bellows every 6 years or so . If they fail it will sink your boat
Make sure the holes you cut to pour in the concrete are waterproof
Jippi! Metric, welcome!
What do you mean by 'the rio' and 'the kaw'?
