Just a suggestion… Having seen all of you digging for various items in the MANY hatches in the floor, I wonder if you could use the ToteScan stickers (or similar product) for some of your organization. They allow you to catalog items by the tote (or in your case, hatch) in the app and then find it later by item name/tag/keyword, if needed. You could mount the sticker on the backside of the hatch cover and keep a paper map of the hatch locations for reference. Because it seems some items may go in an “unusual” place because of size/other, it may be challenging to locate something days/weeks/months later. So say a tool is needed in an emergency and Ty is not available, the app would know where something is and allow it to be retrieved quickly. Really love the detailed information in your videos, and how you make maintenance and repairs a learning experience!
Hey Ty I don't normally give comments. However, I love your channel and your family. Since the girls are starting their own lives and the editing responsibility I know how busy you guys are with your wonderful projects, please bribe either your daughter to take it back or your wife or explore hiring a outside editor. Dont get me wrong, you do a wonderful job, it's just they stop coming in on a regular timeline. And the projects you two are doing are outstanding, it's just that you have soiled your fans, me included, of completion even though I realize you down two crew but we hang your weekly release. Please take this from love your channel. Best to you and your wonderful family T
And you just showed what good people you are by putting the Hooker Pumps logo on your sea chest. That's why I love you guys! BTW, I have a tube of KY lube in my tool kit. It's multipurpose! And I have to say that I'm thrilled for you both that Kim had the lube close-at-hand. 😎 "If the boat's rockin', Don't come knockin'!" Be well. ❤
Hairspray can be used for hoses over barbed fittings, when it dries it seals damn well too! KY also useful for pulling wire through conduit :) I nearly died when you lubed up that second hose 🤣
For future projects, soapy water makes a great lubricant for attaching rubber hoses to barbed fittings. Just dip hose into soapy water solution the length of the fitting and then attach.
Id disagree. Building channel's typically have more views. I recon its the lack of click bait titles and T and A on screen contlstantly... you know, quality content instead!!
At any given time, a channel may be doing build/retrofit/repair instead of sailing- we just jump around not relying on just a channel or two, and one of those that we watch might be sailing on a given day. also, although we are too old to aspire to get a boat and sail the world, I can see that the build/repair videos will give a reality check to those who aspire to live the sailing life😊
I guess I’m opinionated enough to comment on the build/repair/modify/improve/sail/nave fun etc etc type You Tube videos This is what makes the great ones…………. Quality cameras Movie quality editing Reliable releases when they say ie weekly on time Hosts who can tell a STORY about their subject and don’t talk about themselves!! (could be scripted, but doesn’t matter, it is still good) Involves other people besides the host Best examples I watch 1 Sampson boat co ( Tally Ho story) 2 Jay Lenos garage 3 Sailing Dauntless 4 Harry’s Garage 5 SV Delos 6 Sailing Ran I know they are bias to cars and yachts but that is what I am into I love good You Tube Almost nothing is as bad as bad TH-cam
I have to comment on your technique with the drill/driver..every diy video I watch doesn't put adequate positive pressure to avoid slippage. Good work habits and intelligent design is fun to watch 👏👏👏
Those pumps are killer and yes they come at a killer price! I am guessing you will want to have a backup in storage because it will be very hard to get that down island!
Ty, you continue to provide us with very useful information and knowledge. I look forward to the content of the next video. Thanks to the whole crew for sharing.
Mate!! That is brilliant. Maybe add an isolator for your pumps down below so you don’t have to Hey Babe🤣🤣 could you use that well to supply cooling water to the generator also?? As every time we pop a hull over a wave the genny would suck air and shut down. Love this stuff, you building my to do list through the roof🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺
Hello Ty. It has always been my understanding (and practice) to NOT put any barrier, either teflon tape or sealant of any kind, on the plug holding the anode. My understanding has been that for the anode to work optimally, there has to be complete electrical contact between the anode and the metal housing it is there to protect. Possible I have been wrong in this thinking.
Re: Teflon tape... Back in the early 2000s I worked in a hydraulic shop and when we were assembling systems meant for a few thousand PSI, we only used 4 or 5 wraps of the standard white tape, so that 8 or 9 wraps of the thick stuff is way more than sufficient.
Great job ! The capacity of that pump is very impressive! When you re-install the whale pump make sure you install the motor up ! If any fitting or pump leak you don't want water to migrate to the electric motor!😊
Outstanding episode! I love the do it right/over-do it right way you build/fix things. On an upcoming show, can you give everyone a time frame for your first sail? Destination? I know the fixes will never end, but ready to see you guys going somewhere, enjoying this cat!
Galvanic isolator only decouples your boat from everyone else's in a marina when hooked to shore power. Galvanic corrosion (electrolysis) on board will still be driven by dissimilar metals not bonded or experiencing a high resistance connection to each other.
SD hi from Alberta Canada. As usual great technical and comedic content. Put a whole new spin on "hey babe bring me some lotion or lube please". You now owe someone a new tube of lube next trip to Walgreens. I fail to understand why sea chests are not part of new boat SEL's in the first place. Obviously not to the capacity and quality of yours but still what CAT isn't going to have AC requirements 90% of the time. Its just great to watch an owner who knows what tool is required when and how to use it properly (except Teflon tape 😅). Enjoy endless AC.
Great job! A quick point, I couldn’t see a bilge alarm. I have an auto bilge pump and a bilge alarm just in case the pump packs up. Maybe a thought for you guys as you move forward. Andy fb Sailingtula. (Not Ula that’s our previous boat)
Classic Ty, “shit, it’s like I planned it that way” lol!!! Assembly lube is Genius!!! You might consider adding some acoustic materials like mass loaded vinyl to reduce the sound level
Enjoying very much as it is so applicable to what I plan to do in the near future. I am curious how you plan to control the pump. I can't imagine you'd want it running all the time. A simple relay would work, but are you going to try and take advantage of the variable speed to increase efficiency and how do you plan to make that happen? Great stuff Ty!!!
I do so enjoy the way you all work together, thank you for sharing.
This content, with Ty's quality of work, is 100% the reason I watch this channel. Awesome work.
Ty flip your tape around so when you apply the tape it will tighten on itself! Love your videos!!
Baaaabe... 😅 We've all been there! You guys have a great partnership ❤
Please add KY jelly to your next provision list😅❤
Works great for pulling wires in conduit too 😇
I am never going to be able to look at KY the same way....
this is the kind of content I come here for!

That was the best laugh. Not telling why the KY was almost empty.
Hairspray can be used for hoses over barbed fittings, when it dries it seals damn well too! KY also useful for pulling wire through conduit :) I nearly died when you lubed up that second hose 🤣
This episode was brought to you by KY Jelly it's not just for intimacy but works on boats and yachts too.
Sounds like a 747 taking off.
For future projects, soapy water makes a great lubricant for attaching rubber hoses to barbed fittings. Just dip hose into soapy water solution the length of the fitting and then attach.
The million dollar man has absolutely nothing on you with your massive high speed!
Great vid, looking forward to the next one.
Amazing work Ty!!! Those barb fittings are a PITA but do seal great! Love the boat projects!!
Dont know why you guys dont have 500,000 subs. Your knowledge and skill are on point
This was about a family sailing and became about rebuilding their salvaged boat. Many subscribers want sailing not building.

This is what makes the great ones………….
Quality cameras
Movie quality editing
Reliable releases when they say ie weekly on time
Hosts who can tell a STORY about their subject and don’t talk about themselves!! (could be scripted, but doesn’t matter, it is still good)
Involves other people besides the host
Best examples I watch
1 Sampson boat co ( Tally Ho story)
2 Jay Lenos garage
3 Sailing Dauntless
4 Harry’s Garage
5 SV Delos
6 Sailing Ran
I know they are bias to cars and yachts but that is what I am into
I love good You Tube
Almost nothing is as bad as bad TH-cam
I agree
I've been using loctite PST 592 thread sealant for years and years and used on plastic threads too
Love your channel.
I have to comment on your technique with the drill/driver..every diy video I watch doesn't put adequate positive pressure to avoid slippage.
Good work habits and intelligent design is fun to watch 👏👏👏
If I had to do that I would CRY......but not where anyone could see me.
Great work:)) John 5:24
"Hey Babe... you realize how brilliant your husband is? I have pioneered a new AC system for yachts!"
Those pumps are killer and yes they come at a killer price! I am guessing you will want to have a backup in storage because it will be very hard to get that down island!
Did you guys sink or something?
Not hating on the work, looks awesome, the KY though ......
I thought you are supposed to apply the lube on the male end instead of the female end LOL Great job.
Wow! Fellow marine nerd here. Love the work.
Best, Whit.
Nice to see the finished manafold for your A/C now hope the summer will be a cool one.
Ty, you continue to provide us with very useful information and knowledge. I look forward to the content of the next video. Thanks to the whole crew for sharing.
Nerd on, please. 😄
Always love your content! In fact, I believe your niece is my step daughter :-)
just ask for Kentucky Jelly next time Ty
Great videos! Congrats on the new sponsor KY Lube!!!! “It just glides on.”🎉😂🎉
That’s why plumbers putty is better because u don’t gotta worry about how you put it on and it does the same thing.
Mate!! That is brilliant. Maybe add an isolator for your pumps down below so you don’t have to Hey Babe🤣🤣 could you use that well to supply cooling water to the generator also?? As every time we pop a hull over a wave the genny would suck air and shut down. Love this stuff, you building my to do list through the roof🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺
Im always love waiting for the next video.... 😊
How far along are you on re-wiring the boat and replacing all the electrical you had to pull out?
Future consideration 2" PVC Schedule 80 Street Tee, allow closer connections.
It’s ok Kim menopause sucks. No worries ❤
Amen!
Hey Ty, where are you guys? Still with us?😢 missing your videos 😢

Hi if y'all coming to Belize central America i wud want to say hi to y'all
Nice job
Awesome job!
Great job!
love the teck.
Excellent vid on setting up your AC system. Learning a lot from your vids...Thanks!
been a while since a post guys, everything ok?
Excellent vid!!
So any updates since 4 weeks ago?
Holy shit it’s a tight fit “that’s what she said”
I am here all night lol
You forgot the sponge in the sea chest.
why plywood and gelcoat? and not starboard? not judging just curious. seems to have the same workability as wood.
starboard is $450 a sheet
Have you guys stopped posting videos?
With great thanks to the KY folks!!!!
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Are you guys OK? . . . No video for 4 weeks! Having boat build withdrawals. 🙂
Lmao. Awsom bros
Ty and his wife are a solid team great content..
He puts that hell on “EVERYTHING”
Nice work! Pipe well laid

Hay if the KY is safe for human to consume it safe for the fish to consume
It would be nice to see a diagram of your plumbing….
This episode brought to by KY....
Yay. Congratulations on a job good finish
Man you giving me sooooo much material
❤d the ky fun❤
8 to 10 wraps, too many. NPT fittings need to engage more for strength and leak proofing.
It sounds like a jet getting ready to take off.
Try using liquid dishwashing detergent a second time. It's less embarrassing :)
Dawn dishwashing detergent works great as a lube for hoses and washes off as well
I wondered if dish soap could be used.
Astroglide is superior in every way. :)
Silicone or water base? Astroglide was invented by two NASA engineers trying to improve the cooling system for the space shuttle program.
Dish soap would of been less embarrassing than KY Jelly
Great job ! The capacity of that pump is very impressive! When you re-install the whale pump make sure you install the motor up ! If any fitting or pump leak you don't want water to migrate to the electric motor!😊
Love the nerd!😊
Great Job, love the show
As usual a job well done!! Great video Ty thanks

Great job. How many amps for the pump?
If you used the same mic when recording the previous pump, it sounds like the new pump is MUCH quieter.

What kinda KY LUBE … well at least you guys got it on hand lol!!
Great job! A quick point, I couldn’t see a bilge alarm. I have an auto bilge pump and a bilge alarm just in case the pump packs up. Maybe a thought for you guys as you move forward. Andy fb Sailingtula. (Not Ula that’s our previous boat)
Been waiting for your return.. Have you found anyone who can use the Sche, 40 rig you made? LOL
Did you put the foam material back in?
I'm not optimistic about the massive reduction in your publishing since the Mid-december
Classic Ty, “shit, it’s like I planned it that way” lol!!! Assembly lube is Genius!!!
You might consider adding some acoustic materials like mass loaded vinyl to reduce the sound level
Why don't you build that manifold out of copper..
Enjoying very much as it is so applicable to what I plan to do in the near future. I am curious how you plan to control the pump. I can't imagine you'd want it running all the time. A simple relay would work, but are you going to try and take advantage of the variable speed to increase efficiency and how do you plan to make that happen? Great stuff Ty!!!
Nice and tight is what she said.
Hey Babe I liked the video.
Would the use of cam locks made any difference for repairs & cost difference?
Why not subtitles?
its still processing
♥@@SailingDauntless
Better fit a massive flooding bilge pump and fit in there just in case and an alarm!
That title reads like a category from "Whose line is it anyway."..... Things you can say about your boat.... but not .......
