Thanks dad for the car repairs. Power, food, stove, groceries, 1 engine running. Need composting toilet. Sort out the rudders. Get the second engine running. Continue to build the deck, helm battery and gas storage secured. Progress to fixing the leaks, get bilge pumps going. Store parts, tools, spares, garbage in second canoe. Make the second canoe more water tight. Thanks Ola. Also now have more tools.
Thank you everybody for your kind words. I can’t claim that helping Mark is truly ultraistic. As an older guy, we often complain about how the younger generation is without ambition and willingness to put in hard labor to accomplish difficult tasks. And here is Mark, putting in 16 hour days to achieve his dream, and provide us with amazing entertainment at the same time. His drive and ambition is a true inspiration to myself. I really just want him to succeed. 😅 greetings.Olaf
I know you've likely named the boat based on a fish, but in te reo Māori (the Māori language from Aotearoa / New Zealand) "Mahi" means "work", "to work", "to make" etc. Quite fitting really!
looks like the old alternator died because it had oil all over it, might be a split in the turbo pipe, best fix that or the new one might die. If you fit your row boat out with one of the outboards you could then find a parking spot much further away and motor to the project or car as needed.
Your dad's Chevrolet Truck is really nice!!! I have a 2004 Chevrolet Truck that has Over 350 thousand miles on it and it's still going!!! A Chevy will last forever!!!
Not only is you boat getting better, but can I also say, you are getting really good at making your own videos single handed... every video is better than the last!! Thank You!!
I hope you plan a rebuild of the entire motor mounting system. I saw another Wharram video where the motor mounting system rotated, bringing the motors up, well above the water, and were enclosed so the motors were out of the weather even when not in use.
I think it’s called a jack plate that raises the motor up and down. I think the motor is to high up out of the water, looks like it needs to go down into the water about 5” for the water pump to work better.
I'd think about fashioning a deck crane that is situated to raise and lower the outboards and lift cargo onto the deck. What a game changer that would be.
Your dad is fantastic. My dad is a retired wagon driver and also amazing with engines and also got his own boat Merlin a 27 foot yacht based at Glasson Sailing club
Mark I love watching your channel from struggling through weeds barefoot laden down to super dad and his wonderful backup. I'm not bothered about boat building every week i also enjoy watching you working your way through daily issues. Mate I hope this boat is all you've dreamed of. Massive thanks to BLUETTI POWER for that wonderful and so useful electronic package. How did we manage 15 years ago without mobile power wherever you need it.
Great job Mark, she's coming together. Your Pops is such a nice guy to help you out as he does. You were tapping your lower off with a rubber mallet and I couldn't help thinking about We Sail's latest video where Warren was just beating on the lower fins of his engine. He was hitting it exceptionally harder than you were, with a metal framing hammer. yikes! 🔨😬 He got it off once he realized that there was another bolt.😄 It pays to take your time and look at things thoroughly, the way you do. 🌬🌊⛵
Yes your Dad is great and you are lucky. But he is lucky as well to have a son who is so keen on having that father son relationship. So carry on and between you both you will find a great deal of success.
Your dad should get his own show, with his good nature he would be a hit PS:Get a MANTLE for your kerosene light. it goes on top of the flame ,glow super bright and completes the combustion. It is not a add-on it is part of the design.
A bucket with a good lid will solve your pop problems. Line it with 2 trash bags and put a layer of cat litter down, then go, cover with litter, then go, then cover with litter.....don't fill more than have way. Lol MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T GET TO HEAVY BECAUSE WELL THAT WILL MAKE A MESS😂🤣😂🤣
Love your mums cameos. 😂 Dad in the workshop fabricating that lever was fab, and the bluetti looks great. I’ve looked at them in the past but not committed, I live in a frequent power cut area, frequently up to 12 hours. Boats looking great, more home like
Mark, I will be very interested to see how the Bluetti system holds up to a marine environment. I looks and sounds great, but no mention on their website about being suitable for a marine environment, which can rapidly kill electric and electronic systems not designed for it. Good luck and let us know how it fares. Hugh
Mark,,,So much has gone against you over the last couple of weeks, but you always bounce back 🤗 Every little step is a step closer to your dream🌈⛵️🌈,,,Soo freakin proud,,,Love, as alwYs,,,🌻🌈 Momma👌🌻
Bluetti will be a game changer. I just bought some land and was curious if they could run a 1 hp well pump for short periods of time. The start up surge would be my main concern. The power tools will be a good test of that sort of thing, as well. Cheers from FL, USA!
Thank you to everyone who is helping this young adventurous man with making his dream come true ... we get payed back with going along on his adventures in his videos to come ... on this old tahitian catamaran ... we old armchair saliors who dream to do what he is going to do is a wonderful thing living those experiences that he will share with us ... thank you ...😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
You are a very fortunate young man, do not miss the opportunity to learn and retain everything your dad is teaching you. Very few get a chance to an apprenticeship from a craftsman like your dad.
Hey Mark, do you have a amazon wish list and if you do how to I go about finding it and possibly getting some stuff for you. It's a great way for people to help all over the world. I'm in Canada.
Mate on your one engine that is not pumping water, take the cover off and check that the little outlet hole for the water is not blocked. Its a tiny hole that can easily get blocked if some dirt was sucked up by the impeller or if some old crud came loose inside the engine block. Check by poking a small nail or plastic tie wrap in the hole, if you use a nail or a screw driver be sure not to be too forcefull. Check that first before you go through the effort of buying and changing gaskets 🤙🤙🤙 you are making good progress!
I nearly tore my hair out back in January when I changed the impellers on mine and it didn't solve the water issue, turns out it was just blocked and it was a 2 minute fix 😂 anyway keep it up mate, she's going to be a beauty when you are done .
Good that you got some help from Olaf, good name it was my father's too. Can you make a tripod to hold a winch system to save on lifting heavy equipment and avert the chance of you going into the drink for an early bath?
Omg you’re dad is so awesome,he’s learned every skill in the book to help you get going in life and move out of his nest he’s a true champion,good onya dad.
Always nice to have a handy Dad...and Mum keeping the yard clean. Keep the dream alive...it does get easier. I spent 3.5 years restoring a 40ft wharram inspired boat in a swamp in Australia..up to 42 degrees celsuis one summer..and every biting insect you could imagine..a far cry from my English background..but the day I launched n sailed away with stay with me forever....good luck to you
Dear Mark, Slowly your boat is getting somewhere and knowing you the boat finally will be seaworthy. Wish you lots of succes with the rest of the refit and look forward to your next vlog
Well, it is a SAAB. It's a SAAB story, hahaha. You're mental--bare-foot portaging--charmingly so. I look forward to you having real access to Mahi so you can really get to all the work. I think the jazz is a good compliment to the work. Do you have a marina close by or do you need to transport Mahi? Cheers from Vancouver, Canada
My friend I look forward to your updates. I admire your dedication to follow your own star. I wish I could get the boat I have to you, it would make your life so much easier in your rebuild. One question. Why don’t you mount one of your engines to the dingy and move your stuff from a better place?
I've got to admit, if I were 30yrs younger I would be over there on the next ferry to give you a hand, Mark. Amazing what you are doing and those Wharrams are SO damn cool. Best wishes from SE28!
Like watching your Dad work on your toys. I also like his toys. I’m currently sitting at a car show n Orange Beach, Al USA with my 57 Chevy Nomad. Way yo go Dad. Enjoying the channel. Tks for sharing.
I have a 1992 Volvo 960 Estate wagon with nearly 300,000. Miles on it. I do all my own mechanical work on it. I bought it from my neighbor for a boat buck 1k, 4 years ago. Best money ever spent. I haul all my sailboat projects around inside of it. Sorry you are having trouble with your car. Bless your Dad for all his help. ⛵ 🇺🇸 S/V Cork ~ Texas
Those early Volvos were built like Abrams tanks - but easy to fix. Sadly, that old saying "They don't build 'em like that any more" is completely true with Volvo.
I hope you like jazz
Makes me think of food, every day at dinner it's Jazz time😅
Niiice ;-)
I am going. @@alan-sk7ky MI❤😮
Aye we love Jazz matey! Keep on truckin
It's better than some genres, I've always preferred strings over brass
My fave part of that video is your dad fabricating and tapping that part for the outboard. Class. 👌🏻👌🏻
Your dad could probably make it in the youtube world with his own channel hell he's a fabricator/mechanic with a chevy I would definitely subscribe.
You're dad's not a star he's a bloody whole galaxy great guy! Cheers n beers Marty Australia
Wow, shoutout to Bluetti. That setup is lit af
Thanks dad for the car repairs. Power, food, stove, groceries, 1 engine running. Need composting toilet. Sort out the rudders. Get the second engine running. Continue to build the deck, helm battery and gas storage secured. Progress to fixing the leaks, get bilge pumps going. Store parts, tools, spares, garbage in second canoe. Make the second canoe more water tight.
Thanks Ola. Also now have more tools.
Mark you should fit that electrical system in to a cabinet so it’s not so easy for someone to just lift it while you’re away from the boat.
Yes the place you’re at isn’t ideal, the sooner you find a better place the better.
Good man Olaf! God bless you 💙
Thank you everybody for your kind words. I can’t claim that helping Mark is truly ultraistic.

We all need that, a father like that, to make us a mechanic. Greetings from España.
On a scale from 1 to 10 your dad is a 150!
Digging the easy Jazz too 🎉
Special dad you have there! He might need his own You Tube channel in the garage. Wildling Handyman
Very nice of OLaf to drop bye and give ya a hand, that's cool.
Absolutely brillant the way you make time to film when you must be absolutely frazzled

Shout out to Olauf!
Thanks for helping Mark!
Getting better and better with shooting the episodes by yourself.
Best series on the Tube.
Your dad's Chevrolet Truck is really nice!!! I have a 2004 Chevrolet Truck that has Over 350 thousand miles on it and it's still going!!! A Chevy will last forever!!!
Not only is you boat getting better, but can I also say, you are getting really good at making your own videos single handed... every video is better than the last!! Thank You!!
thanks so much mate
@@WildlingSailing I am English, but have lived in USA for 20 years - been a while since I have been called MATE - I love it 🙂
Where is the wife
@@philipharpin1694 she wasnt his wife and they split a year or so ago. She's back in china.
@@philipharpin1694 you might want to watch a few episodes. They broke up.
I admire your dad’s skills! 👍
I admire what you doing ....love all ur videos. Hard work but it be worth it in the end...its ur home .Ray England 🇬🇧 🏴
I agree I’ve been watching from the start and I’m loving your new adventure. Best thing on TH-cam 👌

Really enjoying your new project. It’s also opened my eyes to Wharram boats and what an interesting chap James was! Crikey!
So your dad is not only a good mechanic but also a pretty decent fabricator too. Just keeps getting better! He is like a secret weapon.
youre dad is a true engineer , instead of buying a part for the boat motor he made one himself , well done that man .
Nice work, brother. Great shots. Great episode. Thanks!
My dad used to get me to do the work while he supervised, that way I really learned....
Olaf. you are such a nice person for helping and on top of that buying food.
Mark I love watching your channel from struggling through weeds barefoot laden down to super dad and his wonderful backup. I'm not bothered about boat building every week i also enjoy watching you working your way through daily issues.
Mate I hope this boat is all you've dreamed of.
Massive thanks to BLUETTI POWER for that wonderful and so useful electronic package. How did we manage 15 years ago without mobile power wherever you need it.
And I thought Minki was a huge undertaking.....This is gonna be EPIC if you pull this off.
Great job Mark, she's coming together.
Your Pops is such a nice guy to help you out as he does.
You were tapping your lower off with a rubber mallet and I couldn't help thinking about We Sail's latest video where Warren was just beating on the lower fins of his engine.
He was hitting it exceptionally harder than you were, with a metal framing hammer. yikes!
🔨😬
He got it off once he realized that there was another bolt.😄
It pays to take your time and look at things thoroughly, the way you do.
🌬🌊⛵
Between your father and the subscribers helping, i think you have a great support team behind you. Keep going!
My opinion,you should be doing the work and having your dad oversee and guide you…..that’s usually the best way to learn
but who would get those satisfying shots of a mechanical stalwart in action?
@@WildlingSailing stalwart...good word
Yes your Dad is great and you are lucky. But he is lucky as well to have a son who is so keen on having that father son relationship. So carry on and between you both you will find a great deal of success.
Soo true Dave👍⛵️👍
Amazing hanging out with you and your Family, ❤ wonderful support team ❤️ Rockin Roll
Mark your doing great. Just take your time and get it going
Your dad should get his own show, with his good nature he would be a hit
PS:Get a MANTLE for your kerosene light. it goes on top of the flame ,glow super bright and completes the combustion.
It is not a add-on it is part of the design.
Your Dad is the man! Talented, and great taste in automobiles!! You will get there!😊
PS. That impeller is beyond worn out.
Actually they put new ones in.
@@Chr.U.Cas1622 yeah, I was going to say that. Who can forget the impeller fella?
A bucket with a good lid will solve your pop problems. Line it with 2 trash bags and put a layer of cat litter down, then go, cover with litter, then go, then cover with litter.....don't fill more than have way. Lol MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T GET TO HEAVY BECAUSE WELL THAT WILL MAKE A MESS😂🤣😂🤣
Love that editing of dad fixing that handle!
Your dad is an awesome mechanic fixing cars and boat engines.
Massive mission, it’ll be good to get the boat movable .
Good luck
I think those outboards need to be a little deeper in the water.
Jazz is a great addition. Keep on keeping on.
Love your mums cameos. 😂
Dad in the workshop fabricating that lever was fab, and the bluetti looks great. I’ve looked at them in the past but not committed, I live in a frequent power cut area, frequently up to 12 hours.
Boats looking great, more home like
It's starting to look nice and cozy in there. I'm looking forward to you sailing it.
well Mark you have me, waiting in anticipation now..to see the next installments.

Again, awesome mark, can't wait for the next steps🔧⚙️⚒️
If necessary I might be able to help you with a tug boat.
Nice vid this one. Great editing!
Mark,,,So much has gone against you over the last couple of weeks, but you always bounce back 🤗 Every little step is a step closer to your dream🌈⛵️🌈,,,Soo freakin proud,,,Love, as alwYs,,,🌻🌈 Momma👌🌻
You're making progress bud, keep it up! good job.. See ya, nextime. Have a good one.
You are coming along nicely there Mark. Good old Dad. Great video.

Mark go and get your self a compost toilet easy to install till you get another it will help for a while
Get a 5 gallon bucket and a toilet seat use peat moss, however pee separately as it is the pee mixed in that causes the smell, or so I have read.
What a unique and wonderful father!

yeah, I checked that. its most definitely the gasket connecting the impeller housing and the uptake pipe
I nearly tore my hair out back in January when I changed the impellers on mine and it didn't solve the water issue, turns out it was just blocked and it was a 2 minute fix 😂 anyway keep it up mate, she's going to be a beauty when you are done .
Mate! Leave the two stroke engines, for those inshore. Either that or use them as anchors. Love yr videos and best wishes 👍
P.s. sell em and use the cash elsewhere 😊
@@andrewparfoot6328 those are great motors and easy to work on. Might not be the best for what he is needing on this boat but they are good motors.
You are getting there. Keep on the good work.
Solution to your pooping problem, a simple composting bucket, cheap and easy.
Hi,Mark. Keep on going!! Persifirance will getting you where you want to be. Love what you do. !!! And by the way I love jazz music 🎷 😊
Brilliant it's happening, well done you did a lot great the way people are helping so cool to see that.
You are blessed to have such a wonderful Dad.
You're so lucky to have such supportive parents, they always seem to be there for you.
Good that you got some help from Olaf, good name it was my father's too. Can you make a tripod to hold a winch system to save on lifting heavy equipment and avert the chance of you going into the drink for an early bath?
Your Dad's a champ. Mine would be giving me the "gee, that really sucks" line and back to whatever.
Dig the 1970s lounge music and your dads greatness! He’s got great feel….
Bluetti is awesome! Good luck, Mark!
knocked it out the park again Champ!! keep em coming
It’s all about how to go camping in a boat 🛥️ and enjoy it.
Omg you’re dad is so awesome,he’s learned every skill in the book to help you get going in life and move out of his nest he’s a true champion,good onya dad.

Your Dad is the star of this channel.
Hell Mark!!! This is becoming adictive!!! I can not wait for the nex video!! This went so fast! You are doing great!
Another awesome video Mark well done, looking forward to the next one
Mark, how you keep your chin up is inspirational. One day at a time and soon you will see small steps forward and improvement. Good luck😊
Dear Mark,
Slowly your boat is getting somewhere and knowing you the boat finally will be seaworthy. Wish you lots of succes with the rest of the refit and look forward to your next vlog
Keep breaking these cars young man dad must be a busy boy :)
Love Jass great background sound !
Well, it is a SAAB. It's a SAAB story, hahaha.
You're mental--bare-foot portaging--charmingly so. I look forward to you having real access to Mahi so you can really get to all the work.
