Contributions will go towards the repairs, restoration, and documentation of Argonaut's rich history, along with the preservation of traditional boat building and maritime heritage through video creation.
This video is about repairing a worn out throwout bearing from my power takeoff (PTO) clutch on my engine, which drives a hydraulic pump to operate my windlass, the machinery on my bow used to haul up my anchor. As part of one of my errands to visit a machinist in Port Townsend, I join my friend Jimmy on a Saturday classic car cruise in his 1940 Chevy and got exposure to another slice of crazy people enthused by old machinery.
The PTO Clutch I believe is between 60-80 years old, and was installed off the shaft coming forward of the engine, and is barely on there. The shaft does not go through the entire bearing, making it susceptible to wear, which is what happened in this case. I weighed the choice of replacing the part, or fixing the old one and ultimately could not find an exact replacement, which lead me to opt for the repair.
The PTO clutch is important as it drives the hydraulic pump which pressurizes hydraulic fluid up to the windlass on my bow, which has a hydraulic motor to turn the capstan that weighs the anchor.
Thanks and see you next time.

Love seeing all the details of the mechanicals on that boat.
It’s so fun
Loving your videos so I am subscribed. Love the length, content and the music.
Welcome aboard!
Nice fix. Coming from an old manual machinist myself. 👍
Thanks 👍!
What a beautiful old gal. Great channel 👍
Thank you!
I was thinking about you throw out bearing with the key. You drill a clearance hole in the key then place the key where it goes on the rotating shaft drill tap size hole in the shaft through the hole in the key you already drilled for alignment then assemble it with a drop of lock tight on the thread
Very cool video of some familiar scenery,thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
neat!
Thanks!
Went to the Seattle Boat Show a few years ago and went through a number of "old, classic, wooden yachts" and thought one of them would be great to restore and live on. Will probably never do it, but think about it quite often. My question to you is what is the best web-site/magazine to look at for yachts like yours to restore and live on. Thanks for your response. Keep the videos coming. Happy, safe yachting. 👍🙂
I’m not sure there’s a specific website for boats that need restoration - I purchased Argonaut after craigslist and often look at craigslist or yacht world at boats. If you’re serious about it, I am pretty familiar with the boats around Seattle that are for sale and could use some help.
@@MV_Argonaut Thanks. 👍
You said you hope this repair lasts through the summer, but that seems like a sturdy repair. Is the concern the brazing will wear out?
Yes, that and the shaft it is mounted on is a bit short and only about 1/3 of the bearing is on the shaft when it is disengaged (maybe 2/3 when engaged), which is what led to the problem in the first place. Since this video, I had some friends help me make some adjustments to the assembly and it’s working much smoother now, so I am less concerned.
So I guess you need to engage, push together, before rotating?
That’s not the only thing you’re gonna need to bore out to accommodate your shaft
