Fixing a bad winch design! - Project Brupeg Ep.332

- Please consider supporting the project each week with a few dollars / brupeg
After a couple of weeks resting with light duties it’s time to organise a work bench on the back deck, clean up and get ready to go on anchor in the next month or so.
First things first, when we did our first anchor test the chain curled onto itself so we are fabricating a chain stripper to solve the problem. We have just been told we have to move Brupeg in the next couple of days from the current work berth to a regular main berth, so we have to build a midships bollard to tie up in our new birth.
Onto it!
Thank you everyone for your incredible support.

Thanks for watching and for your support!
After binge watching ALL the episodes, my life is now empty and without purpose.. I must wait to get my fix again.
You guys are a great inspiration and a terrible influence. I absolutely love your 'get it done' and 'how hard could it be?' attitude.
Keep up the awesome work!!!
It's lovely to have you with us! New episode is currently on patreon and will be out on TH-cam next week.
Sharp Corners on Workbench backsplash look deadly for head face injury while at sea! Please round off those corners!
Good job Bru Crew! All the best to you! 👍👍
🇦🇺
Makes me excited and I'm not even there HA!
That pink shirt get well used 😊
tkzzc for sharing.,.,.,peace
It's so good to see Jess moving and doing stuff so much more freely. Keep going Jess
Jess! Back on the tools!
I have lower freeboard on my yacht. I made a cover for my winch, mainly to stop rain and spray going down the haus pipe and wetting the chain locker
On the filter housing you can get a straight npt to jic fitting and a 90 deg jic fitting then connect the hose.
great video guy. Very good engineering Damien
If it weren't for all the previous videos, it would be very difficult to believe that gorgeous trawler was ever a sunken wreck! She looks fantastic! Shoutout to Dangar Stu and his own trawler Renko, because that's how I found this channel!
Thanks mate. She was always a pretty boat. In the early days you just had to look through the rust to see that😁
@@ProjectBrupeg Oh of course! By "sunken wreck" I was referring to the photo of her actually underwater! Rust can be repaired! Congratulations again on getting her back in the water and ship shape!
Is it just my imagination, or does Cap'n Jess seem better (happier, more energy) now that her vessel is in the water? 🤔
I was thinking the same thing!! I think their happiness index has notched up a couple of ticks. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer couple.
does seem be more peppy in general!
Yes, I would agree 100%❤!!
you defiantly can get hydraulic fittings that have a nut on them to solve your exact issue were the orintation is not quite right. also loctite 567 will be your best friend with fittings.
You can get 90s with running nut and ring. These can be tightened up in and direction by just tightening up the locking nut. This does require a parallel threaded hole though.
You guys are amazing wohhhooo.
tap the pipe thread three quarter turn deeper..if you dont have clearance at the bottom of the hole..grind the end of the tap off..
Nice job
You have a jic-bspt 90deg fitting get a jic-bspp 90deg.. has a straight thread as opposed to a taper and a jam nut with a seal on it called a dowty washer. Lets you have it where ever you want...... alternatively you can 5min alridite it in the correct position instead of thread sealant.. good trick with hydraulic and oil lines to get you out of trouble when you can't get the correct part
You can get a positional 90 thread it in put were you need it to tighten up jam nut
Hello All, You need a vice. I have several spare, but postage from the UK costs more than three times the price of the vice. Doh
Please wear proper knee pads when kneeling on the deck. At 76, my knees ache when climbing stairs because it never seemed convenient to put on the pads 'just for a couple of minutes'. A folded towel doesn't give the support a good set of foam pads will. Considering all the steps and ladders on Brupeg, you're gonna want those leggy hinges to stay in good order to be able to lug all those cases of Great Northern and Cooper's... For the oil filter, first make sure the housing is NPT and not straight thread, if it is NPT you can go with a straight JIC to NPT, then use a 90 degree JIC female swivel nut to JIC straight male. If it turns out to actually be straight thread (unlikely), you will need a fitting with an 'O ring" face seal nut on the male threads... 😛
you could put a cut through the front of the hawse pipe and tip it back 5-10mm then weld the cut close ?? Just a thought
Great video Guy’s, your knockeroff works well, beautifully engineered of course.
All the best to Birk in Germany 🇩🇪 And All the best to both of you 🇳🇿from us 🇬🇧
Love your outro. Always fills me with joy and a touch of sadness until I see you again. ❤
it might be an O ring style if it has a machined surface around the threaded hole it is O ring style those can be adjusted anyway you want them
A pre launch/start up checklist is great. Especially when you have new crew on board.
Sure is a beautiful boat. Bruce and Peggy are smiling. Stay safe and enjoy your adventures
I've always known those mooring ropes as "Springs"......... Springers are those bouncy, daft, floppy eared Gun Dogs......Lol.
Low cost solution for leaking fitting is araldite (jbweld)
The way you use that grinder is amazing, true talent
I know its a work boat but i hope it will also be "prettied up" and made comfy for Jess....she so deserves looking after a bit surrounded by alll those males hammering away with their tools. 😊🎉
Re your joint, could you connect 2x angles if need be? Bit janky but would work in the interim? Also suggestion re engine on/off - could have a bright red/green LED in the engine room controlled from wheel house, red off green on etc? May not be an issue just a thought
You need an ORB to JIC 90 degree hydraulic fitting. You can put the 90 wherever you want it and the jam nut will seal it to the o- ring. You could use anentire bottle of thread seal on the fitting that you're currently using and you'll still have a leak!
Agree 100%
Having a spare oil filter housing or connector incase the thread's go?
As I'm not keen on the unsupported pipe's because there is a lot of force applied to the threads and housing.
Sounds correct. If you look closely at the filter housing you should see a machined area that the o-ring seats in. It may look like the start of the threads to an untrained eye. If this is the case then it's leaking because the filter threads are a straight thread and not tapered pipe threads.
Thanks. I’ll take a closer look at that area. I like the idea of an oring sealing it up and to my untrained eye it did look like a straight thread in the filter housing
Schöne Grüße aus Bremen finde eure Videos Super
It's great to see Jess back on the tools and smiles alround.😄
Love the new work bench. Functional and versatile 👍👍
So very (s)tileish, sorry.
You can get that exact fitting with a built in swivel. That fitting appears to be npt to jic. I am not sure exactly what size the port on filter or hose is but here is a part number to a 3/4 npt to jic. 5701-12-12.
Hi damo and Jess, thank you once again for the wonderful video really love and appreciate you guys. Just fantastic when you’re working together as husband and wife saying I love you have for each other and also a passion you have for Brupeg , thank you. Cliff from down the track at Logan city, Queensland, Australia 🇦🇺🧑🏾🦽
A lovely video and Jessie your looking great finally Brupeg being in the water seems to perked you up good and proper 😊😊😊
Forklifts and Backhoes use high pressure swivel joints I think, will check for some at work tomorrow.
that oil filter is a normal npt pipe thread. use a blue or grey pipe thread tape on it. itll take enough room to get it to seal in the right orientation
also put some stainless safety wire on those shackles. zip ties break off and the pins back out, ask me how i know...
Will do. Thanks
Love how you ended the video with Birk back in snowy Germany. Quite the contrast of balmy Australia. Hope he is coming back after the new year. He seems like a great fit on Brupeg.
Just had a video chat with him this morning. Organising a return around late Jan
Good to c jess is doing a lot better now. Happy for u guys
God job on that chain striper Damien works well, good on you all you need now is a water pump set up to wash your chain off when its full of mud. Cheers have a good one btw Jess seems to be more energetic and happier gal, than before that's awesome it will be better for her health as well. That's awesome. All the hard work has surely paid off.
The anchor chain bounces paying out and dropping in. The modified jig, improved the falling into the locker. Like the work bench and aft area cleanup. Adding a starboard bollard to secure Brupeg to the dock. Whilst tied up at the dock, opportunities to organize the the engine bay. Sunshades for the upper deck.
nice job on the anchor chain guide, excellent-A, mooring the boat should be easy for you but I still would like to see it, lol, also that's a lot of bollards your welding to the deeeeck, lol ( sorry) and I agree with Jess you can never have too many,
It’s so crazy to see the boat moving while your working on it. It must be exciting.
Especially in time lapse!!
It's wonderful seeing the two of you aboard the gentle rocking of water must be very satisfying after being on the hard for such a long time. The dream is clearly in sight. Congratulations, once again, great work is rewarded, and you have earned that in spades.
lol 😂❤❤!! Fan Sweden 🇸🇪..
Just awesome to see Brupeg in the sea 😂
Cheers to everyone! ❤🎉
You could use 2 fittings for the oil filter. Bspt to jic straight then a jic to jic 90 which can be oriented in any direction. Assuming the tapered end is bspt or npt, also are you sure it is a tapered thread on the oil filter is it the fitting same on the other port and no leaks.
In the states you can get npt swivel hydraulic fittings, but you have the room so this sounds like a better option
Generally transmission oil level is to be checked within 2 minutes after shutting down the engine.
Looking great on the water.
Because you are applying proper names now, that’s not a hawse pipe it’s a spurling pipe lol 😂. Charley
Where your located. Where we are it’s a hawse pipe.
A hawse pipe where fitted ( Brupeg doesn't have one ) goes from deck to side of hull , quite often one on either side for vessels with two anchors . These are most often used with dreadnought type anchors . The pipe into the anchor well is indeed a spurling pipe . @@ProjectBrupeg
Jess is looking fit and frisky, it's nice to see her enjoying, and utilising some better health. At first, I kept looking out for Birk, wondering what he was working on, then I remembered he's gone back home for a break!
He'll be missed by all of us, but maybe you two will appreciate the novelty of having the boat to yourselves for a while?
good to see jess back on the tools
You can shorten the pipe, and then weld an offset cone to the top of the hawse pipe to move the entrance a fit further aft. Avoids burning paint on deck.
HMMM Making the Anchor chain pipe into a funnel to take in any seawater that comes over the bow so filling the chain locker with a few tonnes so making the bow sit deeper in the water and would give the bilge pump a bad time.
Regards
David
@@davidgreen9985 Sorry I should have called it by the proper name. The spurling pipe (the hawse pipe goes from the deck through the deck to the anchor stored on the bow, but this boat doesn't have one rigged that way. The spurling pipe IS already open to the sea. The funnel type I am suggesting is just slightly wider than the pipe to compensate for the small offset they have. It's also very common to plug the pipe when at sea, either with a metal cover with a slot in it, greased rags, or for smaller vessels, using oil based modelling clay around the chain to plug it more. With of all these methods, you reduce the amount going into the chain locker to a small amount. On commercial ships, you also fit a grate to the bottom of the chain locker and have a suction from the bilge pump to pump it out. Don't know if Brupeg has gone to that trouble.
@evangatehouse5650 our chain falls into a closed bucket which is above waterline and drains freely over the side. We have a bilge pump in a stainless sump for the rest of the room but that doesn’t see a lot of water compared to the gravity drain in the anchor bucket
Looks like that was good experience, driving a different big boat.
The equipment you have stored in the engine room looks like it could be a real problem in a seaway.
Nothing is put away in its place. Don’t pay much attention to it yet. We will have it all in its place prior to any sea work
Good. Just checking.
Damian. I would have threaded the removable part of the chain blocker. Doing that allows you to replace a stripped thread without having to remove the fitting on the deck. Stuart from Sydenham.
Oh your going to weld it on to the 'Deck', you had me worried for a sec!
Brupeg cuts quite a no nonsence yet swashbuckling figure! comfortingly tough but friendly.. ah..you know wat I mean, lol..
So refreshing to see Jess living her best life and not struggling with mobility limitations
Pretty funny....you call it a "six by two" and we'd call it a "two by six"!
Things are upside down in the southern hemisphere
And if you're a framing carpenter from the Larry Haun School of Carpentry, you call it a Tuba Six. 😁
@22:40 You could also bend the lip of the pipe so it's flanged instead of an edge that may catch the chain
Probably bspp in the filter housing just need a bspp to jic 90 degree it is definitely a thing and allows for any orientation
Do pipe to JIC straight adapter. Then use a JIC swivel elbow.
Instead of opening that coolant tank cap to check level, what about a simple sight glass on it?
It is on our list to add. Just haven’t got there yet. We would love to put a Murphy gauge in there
they make Jam nuts foor that fitting
will you be making a weather cover for the things on your workbench? seems like they'd deteriorate very quickly with salt spray and rain water getting into the electronics. maybe just a hood or a sliding or opening cover to sheild them when not in use?
All tools will live in the engine room and be brought out when needed. Only thing that won’t will be bench grinder and vice
Frohe Weihnachten Birk
Hi..
A thought...
How is the Gypsy catching the chain?
Could it be 'adjusted' or 'eased' ie with a flap wheel on the grinder etc..
An indelible marker coating a couple of links might show the problem.
Or will it get better or worse as the chain settles in?
Because of what you have done.. I'm going to buy a mechanical oil pressure gauge to mount on my engine.
Kindest regards
Bella 🐈 & Mark.
Given that even after you've built the workbench, your still working on the deck, prehaps a second workbench on the opposite side, with a dedicated cutting station would be handy. For the chain stripper, adding strip of metal on the edge that rubs the chain, and prehaps even a plastic wear strip would be advantageous from a wear perspective, as the chain continually rubbing on that edge will likely wear a groove in the chain over time.
34 degrees! That's the temperature record where I live. Only gets to that one day every decade or so. I can barely function if it's 25+ and sunny...
There’s a fitting that has a jam jam nut and a oring so you can point it any direction
Captions said "Brew Pig" haha
Hehehe, love your humor Damien....
I'd go for a U shape on side with hose. Gives hose more flexibility. Anything connected to motor will vibrate. Better that connection isn't tight bend. You can but a clamp 1/2 way. Always try not to have hose in tension to much.
Jess I saw when you were helming the tug you did a wonderful Right turn hand signal (6min:41secs)🤔I reckon if you speak to Dame he'll fit you a nice set of indicators on Brupeg.🤦♂👍🤣🤣🤣🤣- Fantastic video - Best wishes Clay (UK)
Coolest fab shop by far! Carry on...
Perfect episode, so so happy for you guys.
Great episode guys. 👍
Arr you guys hanging round and battening down for the possible cyclone next week? Or are you heading South for a little more shelter and breathing room?
Well hang around. We’ve had 80 knots a few years back and were fine. It’s not predicted to get anywhere near that. 35knots is what they are saying
Get a hose wash off for your anchor chain...What a mess !...
22:24 you don't need to move it. Just slice the pipe down both sides, pull that lip backwards and ad some material. Easy project, doable anywhere.
Not a Hawse Pipe.... It's a spurling pipe Damo.
Damo, not hawse pipe! Spirling pipe!
Nope, hawse pipe and stirling pipe. never heard of a stirling pipe personally
I think the vintage magnetic compass in the bridge style is not going to cut it for the solas classification 😁
Love it so much keep it up as always 💘
Thanks!
Thank you so much
You can get Swivel NPT/BSTP to JIC right angle fittings. Should not be hard to source one from a hydraulic shop. If you cant source one of those, a NPT/BSTP to JIC straight, then JIC to JIC right angle swivel would be the next option.
Holy crap, did not know it would be that fast.
For the leek you need a o ring boss fitting
For the right angle fitting couldn’t you just come out straight and change the fitting on the hose to a ninety degree fitting made onto the hose itself?!
Love that Cummins
I'm surprised that you didn't fabricate a universal mounting plate system for the different tools to be interchangeable on the bench as needed
Pretty sure the filter housing would be a parallel thread to avoid cracking aluminium with a tapered thread, plus, if it was a tapered thread on the fitting it wouldn't be that far in without being tight.
Do they make a large banjo bolt? Might be good for engine hose.
Great episode. Did you ever consider painting the back deck green, to give a lawn type atmosphere. Just a thought as I saw those back doors. Cheers
In the Richard Brautigan novel »A Confederated General From Big Sur« it says, as I remember: there’s nothing that an intelligent mind can do about low ceilings than moving slowly… He never mentioned helmets 😊
