Watching you enter the lock, it appears you were tending to over steer helm, not allowing the boat to respond to your input. Was glad to see you used the throttles to help steer the boat. It's always a bit stressful while learning.
Thanks for the tips!
At low speeds the helm is about useless, just use the shifters like you did at the fuel dock.
The rudder does a lot more than you think it does at slow speed. Your rudder was hard to port entering the lock, watch your video. Make rudder center before twisting
Lucky to be an early subscriber, i look forward to the adfventure. Uk based.
Don't forget!!! Instead of steering with the wheel you can steer with the engines and throttles! It can actually be easier than the wheel.
Bow thruster
Bow thrusters are not common on dual engine boats
Nice job,take the instrument cover off.
You need to keep steering wheel straight and use you gears to maneuver
Thanks for the invite! Had fun cruising around for the day 🚤🚤🚤
Safe Travels ✌️🏼🌈☀️
I ordered off Amazon a portable shed because I don't have a roof . So I'll be taking some video putting that together
I found out the hard way many years ago on a twin diesel trawler, to always lower the throttles before shifting or risk wiping out a transmission. Best wishes for smooth "sailing".
You MUST return throttles to idle before shifting. You will destroy your transmissions in no time. All a big learning curve
Current really caught me off guard. Yes I will keep the transmissions in forward and idle up on the throttles to steer in a current like that
Thank you for another interesting and enjoyable video.
My channel is aimed towards budget boating, people interested in an older trawler , budget marinas
There's no current - you had the wheel hard to Port.
You are doing great though!!!!`i am loving your videos and i have subscribed.
Hey thanks for watching the boating series. ! More to come !
I enjoyed this video and subscribed. You all passed my house. I'm between the Franklin lock and the Ortona lock. The Franklin lock operator that came over the radio is becoming famous with all of these looper videos. Every time I lock through going down to Fort Myers I have to joke with her about that. Safe travels.
Lol she had the world famous Nomadic Trawler lock .I'll be making more videos
Something seems off…I’ve never seen a twin screw full keel boat like that require that much steering input even at idle
Proubly just me
When entering locks or docks always have the fenders out!!!
I had 2 out on the starboard side. Proubly can't see because of the high camera view
Thank you for the video's, I'm looking forward to seeing your trip through the Loop and learning more about how your boat behaves.. And keep us informed on the upkeep if possible.. I would love to be able to do the Loop as so many others, and I see this as a learning opportunity for me and others through your video's.. Hopefully the SeaFoam fixes the oil pressure issue, It could also be a bad oil sender relay..? After a few oil changes that would be my next goto.. Best of luck on your journey through the Loop..
The loop is just the start ! Iv got a gulf crossing to Mexico planned, down to south America, crossing the Panama canal etc !! Take this boat around the world
Found ur channel, coooooool !! be safe, stay healthy, nice boat - enjoy …
More videos to come !
That oil pressure is definitely better. In Yanmar engines, you may want to do a manual flush of the oil coolers. When you use a Seafom type detergent, the sludge tends to accumulate there. Once you get that cleaned, and it will be some serious cleaning if the previous owner wasn't taking care of it, you should be at 30 psi at idle.
mmm. I wonder how to flush the oil coolers. ill have to look at the engine. The starboard engine is still high. this boat was sitting for a few years . yes it was repowered with these new engines 21 years ago ! I think it was sitting for several years.
👍
Thank you for liking my budget boating channel! You won't see any " Resort " marinas Here lol I'm a budget boater
Good job
Thank you for being a subscriber ! Please watch my other videos for more boating content !
Never use the wheel in close quarters. Use only transmisions, in and out of gear. You are oversteering. Careful adding throttle, usually don't need to.
I remember my first time 😂
It was happening so fast and I was caught off guard. I just started grabbing levers
😂practice will get you to carnegie hall but not with a boat ,,man. you made me nervous and I am on my sofa😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 nice docking
I have atleast 2 more locks coming up to go thru when I leave port Labelle, crossing lake Okeechobee to the east coast of Florida
Thanks for sharing. Can’t tell if you have it, but a rudder indicator is gold in tight quarters. Not saying it is the right way, but whenever I lock or dock, I make sure my rudders are straight well before entering….from there I never touch the steering wheel. Only shifting and throttle levers. Can do a complete 360 on my axis in a crosswind as long as my rudders are straight. Trying to use shifters, throttle, and steering in tight quarters has never worked out for me. I’m just not that coordinated.
The rudders at that slow of speed don't normally work well . When the bow started going towards port when I entered, I should have just throttled the port engine up to bring it back straight . Current really caught me off guard. Thanks for watching!!
Great stuff. We'll keep an eye on you from over here in Sebastian FL 🌴
Hey thanks ! I have so much money and time tied up in my boat and filming the channel , that I do want people watch !
Cute sister,in a nice way not a creepy way, wow you got pushed around in that lock
Thank you 🤗
Nice travels 🎉
Yeah thanks for watching ! I'm trying to also do marina reviews where I stay . this channel is for budget boaters.
