As of today the boat's rudder seal is still leaking a tiny bit but the engineer say that it should stop after awhile. We finished this job the second time about 4 weeks ago. The Hinckley Volvo Penta engine job is all fix and the owner is ecstatic since he now has his boat back after 6-7 months.
4 Gs for a cooling pump, wow!
@derjaeger3321 Volvo is really proud of it , and everything else.
Rudder lip seals are a joke,
I have seen brand new boats with literally 2 hours in the water leak.
They are a sales tool for the broker nothing more.
Please keep the insructional vides coming. You have a wealth of information to share.
Thanks disclosure lol don’t try this at home.
Love your channel and work ethic. As an owner of an 18 CC on Cape Cod, I love seeing some outboard repairs.
Glad you like them! We keep outboards in mind.
Check all grounds on the ford pickup. I don't care what make or model, when there is a ghost problems that affects one or more componets or modules its a loose or no ground.
Hey thanks for sharing 👍 we need to get it figured out.
Funny you say that - my wife's car was running like garbage and we were all set to go buy another car - and it was the ground strap. Good lesson.
For me personally….
1. You are providing a service and warranty is always billed to the customers account until approved by the manufacturer. Customer should be made aware of this before starting work.
2. Service Provider should not be held responsible for operational, design, part, failure to properly maintain or repair previously, acts of god, acts of natural. They just provide labor, knowledge, and wisdom…
3. Lack of planning on customer’s part is not an emergency for the mechanic (normally). Please call them asap when you know /think you have an issue.
Love your videos, work ethic, and way you treat your employees and customers.
Thanks for choosing to watch us grumpy garage …. Hard to blame us when Matt put manufacturer on speaker so the owner could hear we still had an issue after doing what they said … hey we are happy to admit mistakes we make on our own BUT not when you tell us what to do and we do it and if still fails.
We had a sign in our shop,"lack of foresight and planning our your part does not constitute an emergency on our part".
@@petercaras3696love it …exactly!
Love your full disclosure. Keep on keeping on.! Thanks for the video.
Yes full disclosure don’t try this at home 🤣
Love Your Videos!!!!
Thanks for watching us Frank share us with your boating friends!
I have a 99 f250 7.3 and it runs like a top. I take it to shop once a year and have the mechanic inspect it fix anything they recommend. Good luck with yours.
Yes we did the same thing with the mech thats had it the last 7 months … it’s unfortunate! Our truck only has about 150k we are the only owners. 🙃
Hello from Siesta Key Florida
Hello Bill 👋
Love the videos!
Thanks Daryl appreciate you choosing to watch us.
Great episode! Keep rolling WillFixThat team! 👍👍
Thanks thoughtful …. Learning along the way same as everyday life … right?
@@WillFixThat exactly!👍👍
I love your honesty and views of key west
Thanks Jeff …. Yup Key West is a great town.
Man I was just about to say cam position sensor would be my first bet. The 7.3 is notorious for cam sensors going out for no reason at all.
🥲 been replaced twice already with OEM.
Little drips could be oke but have to really rely on youre bilge pump and battery.
Awesome stuff.
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Enjoyed the video. I made a note to self. Don't buy a Volvo. They make good stuff but the parts cost are insane. Everything will wear out, so there is no need to punish yourself with crazy parts prices.
It’s the same with Cummins, MTU etc. boats are fun but expensive.
I have been at this marine diesel repair job starting out as a helper in summer of '85 as an 18 year old kid straight off the farm in the midwest, and been in Florida and Georgia coast since. I do not care what brand enginve it is, I have heard "I'll never buy another one of these!" before. They will all break! Seen Cats with ventilated blocks, MAN's scattered in pieces, Detroits spewing oil, Yanmars neglected and a ball of corrosion, Cummins destroyed because a gauge didn't work and getting the gauges fixed was "expensive" Not as expensive as a longblock, the boat being hauled, disassembled, the engine pulled, the parts switched over, need I go on? LOL pay me now, or pay me later!
Awesome as always
As long as you were doing what the builder and parts manufacturer say I don’t see where you are in the wrong. Sometimes a little thick skin and conversation (but has to be face to face) with the customer goes a long ways. I have been at the dealership I work at now for 26 years and I get some of the same things. IE we just did a repower and the customer had 2 gas tanks each 12 gallon. We put the engine on did the PDI I have my 5 minutes of run time and a full G3 report we keep and customer gets 1 they take delivery load up the party on his pontoon and take it out use it for about 30 minutes switch his gas tanks and then engine stops running long story short he kills both batteries trying to start the engine towed in and screaming at us we go out and find the second tanks is 90%water and all he can say is warranty or he stops payment on his check. The owner will not come in and talk face to face all they want to do is puff their chest and email as I told him yelling and profanity on the phone I will not tolerate
So no I don’t think you’re in the wrong or to blame
Keep the videos coming
Thanks for the feedback…. Owner heard manufacturer tell us what to do and we did it & owner heard again that we had to take it apart and try again. Thank goodness cause then he knows it wasn’t us!
I agree with going with another brand of parts. Can you replace the s/s sleeve. I'd replace it if possible. That my 2 cents worth😅
Thanks for those 2cents Jim.
Ya a rudder port stuffing box that they used for a couple hundred years might work.
If someone wants to try it. 🥸
It has worked for 25 years on my trawler.
@@blueskies8834that’s great.
Great job...for sure you don't win them all...but your best shot & honest opinion are great advice 👍
Yeah we installed per manufacturers spec and had the customer there to hear the conversation with the manufacturer when it leaked again.
Late to comment, and i’m sure you already checked. But what a about a bent rudder shaft? If it only leaks when you turn the rudder. Great video!
Oh boy gear driven water pump goot thing it's not the fuel pump 😅 and that does take alot of force to break the shaft on that pump and good man turning the gear on the pump not the rest of the engine timing gears I made that grave mistake once 😅 "key word.... once"! And good to see the ol 7.3 powerstroke back I love those trucks lol
That 7.3 still broke 😭
@@WillFixThat noooooo!!!!!! but yea I would check grounds on the frame and engine block then also I ran into this issue before but check the glow plugs make sure they are working and check right by the fuel filter housing on the motor called the fuel bowl heater and the high pressure lift pump for the fueland possibly a faulty ICP sensor on the driver side cylinder head that's all I can say right now what to look at I had a 7.3 that had a bad fuel bowl heater
It’s the helicopter parents causing mayhem
Hey Jim explain this a bit more?
It can be such a piece meal industry sometimes and becomes extremely frustrating for a shop owner. Manufactures of shitty products will seldom accept responsibility for their poor designs. Owners of the boats just don't want any hassles (understandably) and that leaves you standing in the middle. I thought it was just me !
Best thing Matt did was have the conversation with the yacht manufacturer on speaker so the owner could hear. We didn’t do anything wrong but we had to do it again.
👍👍
Hey fatcat 👍
I feel like we've been through this before, yes it's your fault, always your fault.
Sorry but it’s not always our fault! We installed per manufacturers spec boat has been grounded twice and has always leaked!
@@WillFixThat customers have a hard time blaming the manufacturer when you give them a bill, that's all I'm saying.
@@WillFixThatoh noooo! You’ve got to recognize the sarcasm when it’s dished….. that one seemed easy to spot and made me laugh!
@@610boating5that’s why Matt had the customer listen to the call with the manufacturer cause we knew he would want to blame us and NOT pay!
Sounds like the owner has the fix for the leak, hes selling it. Part of the issue I think is parts just arent the same quality anymore.
You are right about the quality of the parts these days!
330
Maybe.
It happens can't win all the time
We sure try!
Fixing all and any boats but the Ford refuses to run crazy.....
Yes our Ford broke … Matt needs to focus on it at some point!
8 hours
lol I can’t remember the question.
Is that a 7.3 powerstroke diesel? Year?
I had a 96 powerstroke that would start to totally shut down going down the road intermittently. It ended up being a wire UNDER the passenger side valve cover worn thru the insulation and grounding out. Read something about on line, pulled the valve cover and there it was. Truck was still running great when I sold it years later.
1997
We are the original owners it’s a 1997
I had to remove the intake and turbocharger to get to the valva cover BUT WORTH IT FOR SURE. I love watching your videos. Thanks!
What I would love to see is you two retire, your plate is always full of issues. Need to pull back on the reins
and lower the stress level. Just watching you go through all of what you do make me NEVER want
to come down to Key West.
Appreciate the feedback Connor …. Well we have a surprise coming! Shh LOL we bought another boat last week. We got a whaler which we were looking for over a year ago. We hope to be getting out on the water to reduce stress very soon.
Not your fault, just a shit design ,I have a beneteau rudder tube sits way above water line requiring no seal or leakage .
Yeah the situation sucks for all involved… we do our best and aren’t hiding problems or mistakes! When Matt talked to the manufacturer he had them on speaker so the owner could hear. We don’t want to be blamed for their issue!
