Salt & Tar: Episode 47-World's Best Engine Access
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 ก.ย. 2024
- (If you stay tuned at the end of this episode is a little real-time update.) We install the driveline and finally finish permanently securing the engine to the beds. Then we rearrange plywood in the boat while we wait for more engine parts to trickle in. We are so happy with our engine access! World’s best, or at least we think so ;)
Thanks for watching everyone!
Many thanks and much love,
Ruthie

looking super sharp with the new haircut !!
You have done a WONDERFULL job on your boat !!! In the '70's I worked in a machine shop in Cincinnati where most of our customers owned boats with inboard drives similar to your rig .ON ALL of these drive shafts ALL inboard couplings were SAFETY WIRED with STAINLESS STEEL wire to keep the setscrews from working loose and LOSING you prop shaft through the shaftlog . ALSO the PROP was DOUBLE nutted & the outermost nut was CROSS DRILLED through both the shaft & nut inline and either safety wired or cotter keyed both of stainless steel. GOOD LUCK ! ! !
A GREAT BIG AND VERY HONESTLY MEANT “ CONGRATULATIONS” , your haircut now matches all that is what surrounds you, your beautiful lady, ( wife, significant partner ) your meticulous attention to detail, your work ethic.
You have a lot going for you both, and I know you will go far, you are an impressive couple.
Live long, live happy!,
I really like the concept of the engine not being buried under the gangway! It's so hard to not jump forward to see how that worked out.... the suspense is getting to me.
You should paint that driveline/drive shaft red and white swirl like a candy cane. Then it won't rust and it will be fun to watch while it's turning. lol.
It will spin too fast to notice unfortunately.
Calvin H. Woooooh freaky!
@@robfinney9289 I think it'll depend on the angle of the stripes... I think it would look kinda cool tho lol
Yeah but then The White Stripes would have to sue
Calvin H.
That would make me seasick.
Great episode - thanks for hanging in there.
To lift my yanmar high enough to change the motor mounts, I stuck a deflated basketball under the engine and just started pumping until I had the room I needed. worked great.
Technically they are engine mounts since they go on an engine....internal combustion. A common misnomer is to call it a motor when in fact it is an internal combustion engine. It would be like using the term electric engine.
Seeing this vid has reminded me of how far you've come. Now you have new sails... It won't be long before I see you sailing that beautiful boat on the ocean.
The drive line looks great and the interior is moving along well. Your going to find things you love and hate, just redesign and make things better. Glad to see that she swelled and is not leaking any more. You have a nice boat there.
OMG.....you look like a new man...big improvement !!! You guys are beautiful inside and out !!
I was never going to judge this man by his hair style, his skills are amazing and the love he shows for everything he does blows me away! I dont think of it as an improvement, its a step sideways! he could shave his head or have an orange superglue mohawk with purple poker dots for all I care lol.
Loosing that hair weight surely must have felt good and feel much better while working. It is also nice for me 'cause I no longer need to cringe when your hair gets close to things that spin or belch fire. That is a good drive-line design and its angles are not a problem. I would evenly paint the tube section with epoxy....grease or tar can throw-off and also possibly cause a balance problem. Ruth is awesome by the way.....
Dude I admired your individuality in rocking those Dreds
Love the idea of having the engine fully accessible
I worked as a mechanic for 45 years. I'll tell you point blank, I hated working on boats. HATED!!!
Stand on your head, squeeze in a tight hole.
Try to get the oil filter changed without dropping it in the bilge.
Good idea and great forward thinking.
I have never seen a driveshaft in a marine application, but honestly, I can't see why it will not work.
Keep those "U" joints full of grease, and the slip joint.
Things are really looking good.
This. This is exactly what I needed to feel out of this channel - pure emotion. I’ve been going through a similar project over the last 4 years (but teardown to build up) and I’ve seen the struggle you two have felt throughout this adventure from your body language and tone, but I’m SO happy you’ve decided to be so transparent in this latest vid about the struggle. It’s not something you should be ashamed of. And absolutely appreciate the mention about marketing yourself. Touch choice indeed, but you all have the tact (and genuine demeanor) to do it well. Stay strong and enjoy the journey!
Garrett looks like a submarine captain. Good luck on your beautiful boat.
Five days to watch all of your videos. That’s working 8-12 hours a day included. What a journey it’s been. Full speed ahead. What a brilliant future you both have. And it’s about time you cut that hair.
Haha you've caught up fast! Thanks Dwayne
I think your explanation of motor placement was fantastic and for sure at the end of the day you're the one that has to listen to it so everybody else's opinion it's just an opinion you're doing such a wonderful job explaining and making that boat look awesome my fingers are crossed you'll be Sailing by fall and I can't wait to see all the Places You'll Go
Looking great and a HUGE improvement Garret! It seems like the boat is moving at leaps and bounds now.
People are much more generous than they are given credit for by some. I think they're awesome.
You need to paint the driveshaft for rust prevention. the yokes need to be in alignment to prevent out of phase vibration/harmonics. You mat also want to install some type of sleeve around the u-joints to keep them from slinging grease in the bilge, something as simple as a piece of 2 liter bottle or milk jug would work. Keep up the good work, slow but steady progress will get the job done.
Love the video and yes I’ve found my all new most favorite saying of all time “BOAT BRAINED”!!!!! That’s it, now it all finally makes sense inside my thick NOGGIN’.....I have various water contraptions for every day of the week, but more importantly you absolutely ROCK the boat with your love and passion and hard work, so go take that much needed vacation and rejuvenate yourselves. I’ve been following for awhile now and can’t wait to see the boat get underway. She looks very much like a sharpie which is a style I’ve grown to love for seventeen years. I hope the boat fulfills your dreams well into the future.
Congratulations on the hair! You look so much better, as a teenager I had long hair but it was in vogue in the early 70’s. Well not with my parents!
You are a wonderful and talented Craftsman, now you look the part as well. I am sure Ruth’s Parents are liking the new look as well.
Docktails, while watching the sun set is fast approaching. Awesome video, Dude, the hair!!!! Liked it long, cut looks great as well.
Do not take a break. Never good. Keep at it. U are almost there. Dont give up. Love u
Keep the momentum!
JIM
Garrett you look amazing and younger. Thanks for another great vlog!
Great progress! I think I would have put a 1/4" steel plate between the engine mount and the rubber pieces underneath (same size as rubber) to spread the load a little better, since the engine mount has little surface underneath. I think nylock nuts would be good too in the final install.
That was great! My wife and I had just commented on how bad the dreadlocks looked and boom there you were all clean cut! That was cool! Thanks for another great video!
I like the engine placement.The top can be used for food prep area, can you can then used the space above for hanging, pots, pans, food etc.
Great way to start my morning. Cup of coffee and your video. Thanx
dont forget fuel tank vent running to topside love the boat !!!!!!
Keep the pace guys - you are so close to let the tar face the salt
I remember years ago when I cut my long hair I was like how did I ever deal with that in the first place. Looks good really happy with the progress the two of you are making
Cigarmann so true, I had long hair and dreads in my younger days I have never regretted removing them.
Dude your haircut is on point !! Keep up the work and thank you for the vids .
T-shirts for the WIN!
This project has been awesome to watch. Thanks for filming it. It seems you are still two years away from a sailing/working boat. That's sad. Time and money could have been spent with a different approach if you want to be sailing. If you want to be about building a wood boat, I am still here. Love the process.
With the discussion of winter mood and catching colds, unless one lives full time in the tropics vitamin D supplementation is pretty useful. We take 10,000 to 20,000 IU a day in the winter along with C and Zinc. The easy engine access is pretty awesome.
I love the engine box! I wouldn't bother with the side access points as they will add to the noise deadening issues, solid panels cut the noise so much better. (add later if you really really need them)....then you can move on with the rest of the boat. I worry about your clamp on thrust bearing it might slip long term. No dreadlock after launching I like it! cheers warren
What a yoke...it’s HUGE!!! 😂😜✌️
Congratulations on the boat and the hair cut oh so much better!
Something the think about, hinge the engine access forward instead of aft, then if you ever need to replace the engine (or large parts) it will have a clear path to the companion way instead of going over / around the engine cover. Looks great so far.
Love you guys! I know I’m a little more than a year behind.
But: I’m watching as many episodes as possible!
I will have to hurry up to see had did the offset driveshaft worked out. Prayers!
The haircut is a vast improvement my friend. You guys are doing awesome. Thanks for the real-time update-I think the engine placement is perfect.
Keep it up you are getting closer every day.
Great see progress and drive line installed. Love the haircut, you cleanup pretty good Garrett. .
Love your videos and amazing progress so far. Garrett love the new look. Looking forward to seeing you under sail, fair winds and following seas.
Full credit and we'll done for taking on an amazing project. I wish you both the very best in health and happiness and may she give you years of trouble free sailing.. It's been an honour and pleasure to watch you pair go through the good days and the bad and witness the love you have for one another conquer all the trials and tribulations you had to deal with..Thon far sunset is calling for Yee me hearties, so raise that anchor and catch some wind in your sails..🌹👍🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀😁
You are both doing such a great job and it has been fun watching you.
Garrett the new haircut looks great and Ruth you look as beautiful as you always have. Glad to see y’all are taking some time to relax and enjoy each other away from boat building even if it’s just for a little while it’s still important. Take care you two 👍👍👍
AWE!!! The Dreads!
Like the progress and the new look. Keep up the great work.
The wellies have gone...much healthier, you are both an inspiration to the rest of us not the other way round. I am getting impatient for the engine start, I so want to see you set sail when Rediva is finally finished and enjoy the fruits of your labours.
4 years wow. I bought a custom 38' very thick hull that was setting up for a while in inside storage for a $ 1.00 in Florida. There's a thousand sailboats for sale there. The hull came out of the mould and never got finished. I put about $240,000.00 into the budget. Everything is bought and in storage as needed. Should be done this early winter. Only thing now is the 3 fuel tanks being made. Water tank is in already. Everything is wired and plumbed. Started the engine with a hose and a gallon jug. lol. Good luck 👍
You two are awesome. Keep it up. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Looking at your final engine placement, etc., I can't help but think that you're going to not only smell the damn thing 24/7 but you're also going to absolutely 'hear it'. It does not look like you've allowed space to install proper heat and noise suppression panels anywhere around the engine.
You need to line the box with cement board and special special sound insulation. One good product is by, soundown.com/marine/
JIM
@@jimc4731 The box needs to be at least 1' wider also for sound and heat.
Hello from beautiful Victoria, BC Canada! I’ve been watching from the beginning. I enjoy waking up to a new video and live vicariously through your adventures :) Both of you are selfless, hard working loving people so don’t ever feel weird about self promotion. I watch many Channels and I’ve never heard you guys gripe or complain about the magnitude of you’re endeavour... which speaks to your integrity. whilst I am not in a position to support through things like patreon or amazon, I’m proud to be on T-shirt number three. It’s a fantastic idea and many of my friends have asked about it. Keep up the great work you two!!!
Parker
Face the bolts of the engine mounts down and the nuts on the bottom, then if the nuts do somehow vibrate loose /off, the bolt stays in the hole and the engine doesn't fall off it's mounts... Would save a massive calamity!
There's a sound deadening material often used in cars that might work for your engine box that also might double as a bit of a heat reflected I would also recommend having some way of having the air being pulled out of the box and expelled out of the boat before and while the engine is running to help keep things cool and also if there happens to be any exhaust leaks or any fuel smells that me accumulate they would be expelled out of the box and hopefully out of the boat
Looks great guys! A love in motion.
Congratulations..!!!! Great job and endeavour you are in. One suggestion, try to make the keel and rudder compatible with the water flow, in other words as much hydrodinamic as it can be, in order to make the least drag. It will result in a better'n smooth boat sailing.
A Sawzall with metal blade would have made short work of those seized engine mounting bolts!
Agree Sawzall is 'the best tool' for the job. Alternatively, you could reverse the hacksaw blade to cut on the pull stroke for better control in tight quarters- easier on the knuckles...
I would have reached for impact driver first. Sawsall next. Sawsall (battery) is also safety gear. It will cu through a shroud or line or chain quicker than bolt cutters.
Great new look
I like the new look. Goes with the ever changing look of the boat.
Looking good! (Both the hair and the boat!)
I've never worked on a boat engine, but I've seen a lot of video of people doing maintenance, and yours looks like the right choice to me. It's a sailboat, so the motor won't be running all the time, and being able to do maintenance so easily means you'll be less likely to put it off or take shortcuts.
Wonderful episode. Can't wait till I see your engine running.
Your drive shaft is installed correctly and in phase because you have but one complete shaft assembly,
therefore it is in phase. Out of phase can only occur when you have two shaft assembly's with a pillar
block or midship bearing between the two. BUT !!!
Double check, your parallel "ism" : The exact parallel in left to right (lateral) and in up and down (pitch) or in
3 Dimensions (Disregard, in your case the off set of the Engine to the prop shaft but they have to be perfectly
parallel or your U joints will bind, vibrate at certain speeds and prematurely wear out.
Let me re-say it in different terms, is the alignment of the prop shaft in relation to the engine crank shaft the same
in both left to right and inclination (to within + - 1/64 of an in.) Look on youtube for drive line parallelism in 4wd trucks.
In your case shim the engine because the prop shaft is pretty much in a fixed position.
The vibration would also transfer to the rear bearing.....So important that they installed it with correct geometry..
Sooo true.
This is exactly what I meant I my top comment. I worked on a Newport 41 that had that problem because the yokes was not parrallell so they were worn out and we had to replace them. You can also damage Cutlass bearings and bearings in the transmission if it is not done right.
Haircut looks great.
Very nice... thoughtful couple.... and Garrett goes GQ on us... didn't see that coming!!!
Interesting production techniques in this one.
Dam boy you look different without the dreadlocks. Much better
It is looking really good cant wait to see it going under power
So all you need is a spare U-joint and spare Shear key. Which I don't think you will any U-joint issues for many many years!
A driveline.. that means we're going for a spin!! 🤪
One tip I have for heat and noise insulation is exhaust heat wrap Id rap the manifold and the entire length of exhaust .
I thought I was the only one that made motor sounds when I was around engines. Your engine access is better than on my van. Great thinking and planning guys. This is going to be a fantastic boat. Take care and have a great weekend.

Looking positively spiffy.
An old geeser here. Had absolutely no problems with your "hobo" look. Actually, I used to wear mine, oh, 45 years ago. To my Dad's despair.
I was the first in my family to wear home-coloured T-shirts, Dr. Scholl's wooden sandals, and white/blue striped jeans - à la Jimmy Hendrix, my idol to this day !
See, you young turks did'nt invent dreadlocks and all. Marley popularize them ! But, still I envy you two for your exciting endeavour. Fair winds, young friends !
PS My cougar wife looooooves your new look !! "Down girl, down !" Look good, Man !
As for saw dust, try a hoody. Works perfectly. In cold Canadian weather too. I get angry eyes around here from young ones " Look at this Old chooch, he thinks he looks cool or what??" Don't care. As usual.
Love
Wow, haircut came out great, congrats Ruth
I suspect a layer or two of Dynamat might just be the ticket for the engine cover. I'm positive that if I'm wrong someone will let you know. Nice haircut, great progress, and excellent attitude! Keep on keepin' on.
Check with the person who made your driveline. I think the shaft is supposed to be installed with the yokes 90° out of phase with each other. In phase, they will create more vibration.
Yup it will.....
The shaft yokes have to be in direct alignment with each other (within about 3 degrees) to prevent second order vibrations. So the shaft's U joint forks should both be vertical when either is turned to vertical.
Working in Tampa boat yards over 40 years we always have a Naval Engineer tell us were to place the motor and shaft. Then it gets shimmed and tweeked . Changing the prop several times till it runs quiet and true on new builds or repowering . Hope you looked into this? A drive shaft can rip out easily and fast. Good luck :)
@@MegaBait1616 This is actually a very good point. They should incorporate a couple pieces of steel strap into the floor structure above the drive shaft, which will keep it from whipping around in the cabin if it ever gets loose.
@@netpackrat That is a must.
Hippest engine install ever!
Y'all are an inspiration. Never doubt that. Love watching the boat come together. Keep up the amazing work guys.
Going good guys,I'm excited for you👍😊
I haven’t read all the comments, and I realize this was months ago but be sure to mark the slip joint and the yoke end so that if you slide the slip joint all the way off you can get it back in the same spot, it’s balanced.
You guys are awesome!!!
Finally! My convertible / hatchback - just not the cabin roof ;-)
I have been watching your videos for a while now, and I must say I very much look forward to them each week. This is the first time that I have taken the time to comment, but I wanted to let you know I think you are both doing a great job. I have been working with wood and steel fabrication for a while now (as a hobby), and I can appreciate the challenge of a project such as yours. Keep up the fine work!
She’s coming along nicely. Great work!
Now that you mentioned engine maintenance the placement is perfect.
It's funny, not 60 seconds after I said to myself the dreads have to go there was the big reveal. I'm sure it's more comfortable.
Glad it's coming together, take a break get away from the boat for a short time, recharge the batteries as it were.
Best of luck.
Thanks for the video.
Edit: 👍⭐
Winter is tough but it makes you stronger.
Definitely keep a spare set of uni joints with you. I also recommend you round off sharp corners as they are nasty when you bump into them at sea. You're smart people so you probably already thought of that. She is really starting to come together.Awesome job.
Great work
Holy smokes you cut your hair! Lookin good! Keep up the great work!
Getting big pieces of the job done make for satisfying milestones. Deep breath....and.....on to the next! Doing good!
With a little time and some petrol you can remove the tar from your drill to make it look almost brand new.
thanks for describing the engine access advantages .. i had a sailboat where changing the alternator required working blindly and was a total pain in the bun . good job guys keep up the good work !
I think for the two hours it takes to service the engine once, or in your case, twice a year, it's definitely not worth having to climb all over the thing ten times a day for years on end. You're already going to have to crawl around in the bilge to inspect the automotive drive shaft and grease it. I would reevaluate using modern boat design and putting the engine under the companionway. Been owning sailboats for 15 years, 30, 31,34 footers. Go look up "sunk cost fallacy" and reevaluate your plans...
Love the doo wop music at the end. Perfect volume for it too.
I was skeptical about the engine placement, but the new hairdo sold me on it. Great work!
Great episode. Thanks
Rebinging. Never caught that you'd be sailing by the fall in this episode 😂😝⛵
