Hi Mark. Right, some motor advice. Firstly, hang it on the top of the companionway, never near water. Secondly, only remove the carburettor. That's the tube shaped thing! Having removed the carb, put on a plastic tray on the chart table and take it to pieces slowly, take pictures if you have to. The only thing wrong with it will be a gummed up jet. These are tiny brass items that can be hard to remove without the correct tool. don't force them. Take all the parts and leave them to soak in full fat Coke as that will eat some of the crap from the parts. Ideally you need an ultrasonic cleaner and an airline but as a yachty, improvise. Using pliers, pull out a strand of wire from your wire brush and use this to poke through the brass jets. If you can source a can of carb cleaner under lock down, go for it. Clean everything in petrol (wear PPE) and dry thoroughly. Reassemble with a smear of grease where necessary. Check the fuel flows from the tank to the carb? Use fresh two stroke mix, not that shit you've had in the can since Pwllheli! Start it up if you can out of the water, just to see that it starts, you'll only drop the thing otherwise. If it runs, pump up the dinghy and under cover of darkness, escape back to Britain. Good luck, I'll meet you at Dover.
Haha love the last bit. Don't worry mate, got the carb cleaned, really simple, I've had mini motorbikes before so I know my way around a carb, I did do it next the the water and fortunately, nothing dropped in. See you in Dover , tomorrow 10pm
@@WildlingSailing luck man! I can take apart a 2 stroke and computers like no other... But I can't keep from dropping a screw to save my life. Great work. Did I hear you have to have papers to go-to walk down the street? Sounds like some Nazi junk. Hope you guys made it without incident. Try not to watch previous vids. You guys are doing great. Don't dwell on it.
Hey Mark, Let me give you some marital advise. (I am married 51 years to my angel) Happy, wife, happy life. Do whatever you can to make her happy. She is a rare find and an amazing lady.
Mast winches are for tensioning up the various bits of your mainsail, if you can't make it happen by sheer yoinking on it yourself. Also sometimes used if you need to clear a jammed sheet or anchor rode. Never used to hoist people up the mast :D
When the boat was originally made you'd have had to go forward to the mast to raise the sails. That's why there are winches there. Its common now to bring the halyards back to the cockpit as its safer in heavy weather.
Should be cleats on the mast below the winches. If you have a roller furling jib that you leave up all season, you can secure it there and that will free up one of your clutches for something else that you might actually want to control from the cockpit.
@@WildlingSailing Or Tef-Gel. Good if you are putting stainless steel screws into an aluminium mast. Also seen it recommended for putting on copper wire when making electrical connections
If you are replacing mast rivets then use Monel rivets (nickel alloy) - aluminium / steel will be weak and corrode. If possible, replace mast steaming light with a retro-fit led bulb. Those two stroke engines if left over winter can suffer from the piston rings rusting onto the bore preventing pull over - so always winterise by removing the spark plug and spraying a light oil like fogging oil down the spark plug hole. To service replace the impeller, gearbox oil and spark plugs as can be seen on other TH-cam. When finished using the outboard switch off the fuel and run the carb dry before storing - stops the carbs gumming up. Mast winches are for halyards but you may have them led back to cockpit winches, they may still be used for topping lift, spinnaker pole up haul or spinnaker halyard but it sounds like they have been made redundant by coachouse winches and lines led aft 👍
You two are very entertaining, You actually are very blessed to have each other. Hopefully you will never forget to be grateful for each other even when the rascals in each of you clash a little. Highest Loving Blessings
Hi Mark & Nadiyana, those cinnamon muffins looked wicked !!!! What an excellent cook you are Nadiyana !! They were an equivalent to a Pipe of Peace I'm sure. As for your painting & caulking skills Mark, bang on man ..........If it's at all possible, now would be a good time to renew your electric cables in the mast (pull one out, using it as a mouse, and draw a new one in ), and the steaming light & deck light should be independently switched. What a shrewd idea getting your bits & bobs from Germany, clever Blokey ........Interdeck deck paint is really good, there's a few coats on Cadbri, I can tell yer. One last thing, and I can't stress this enough, do your outboard repairs as far away from the water as possible. If you have an old blanket or coat, lay that down first, anything going south will have it's fall cushioned. Well my angling & baking friends, keep pitching in there .......................Kind Regards Barnacle Bern S Y Cadbri
To stop the electrolysis between the 2 different metals. If you can't get the Zinc chromate, maybe you can put a non- conductive material in between like nylon. Functioning like a gasket.
Hello, you don't want your deck light linked with your running light, it would mean that under engine power you would have your deck light permanently on, that's a nightmare for your night vision. The deck light should have a a separate switch and you put it only when you have to work at the bow.
Mark next time you seal up, use 2 lines of masking tape a wet finger and a quick removal before it starts to set. That little bit of extra prep goes a long way. Sealer guns are not that cheap anymore, the one your using is about 15 notes in the UK, You can get the cage type for £7. Or get you mum to treat you to an electric one for Xmas. Rechargeable battery and easy on the fingers.
I have the outboard. Remove the carb, dismantle and soak in meths. New spark plug maybe. I recently bought an even older yamaha p45 and had to replace the spark plug cap. Thanks for posting.
On my yacht, fitting stainless steel winch brackets to the aluminium mast you HAVE to use Monel Rivets of the correct length and to separate the stainless from the aluminium I use an old motorbike inner tube cut to shape.
@@WildlingSailing I think that the two lights should be wired separately. The fore deck light not really needed at sea. Would save you a bit of your battery too. Stainless rivets good. Do you have a rivet gun? One big enough for thick shank rivets? Perch are good eating but small ones are fiddley. Don't know what else you are catching. Stay cool, there is a long way to go yet.
You guys ever heard of hacky sack? It's kind of like that ball you'd be bouncing around on your feet that has a feathers on it I've never seen one of those before..
Just completed binge watching the whole adventure from the very start. Impressed by how you have both coped with every aspect of the trip. The world is on 'pause' just now but one day your voyage will start again..... so good luck and stay safe.
The Medway is the Medway River that flows out (down river) in to the the Thames estuary at Garrison Point just above Queenborough Isle of Sheppey on the south side.
Hi Nadiyana and Mark, you are both doing well. Great jobs on the boat. It is indeed needed to use isolating kit between the mast and the fittings otherwise you wil find corrosion in short notice. Now the mast is down is it an ideal plan to replace all wiring? Best regards and warm greetings Martin.
Hi Martin, yes definitely a good idea to re do all the wiring, I just need to get my hands on the right sort of cable, either way we have lots of time to get it sorted! All the best from us!
I really feel for you both. You don’t deserve the situation you find yourself in. So DO NOT FALL OUT! keep cheerful and keep posting the vids. When this is all over just think of the adventures your sure to have 👍🏼
I was once on a campsite in Cornwall, I won't say which one just in case 6 years later I still receive a bill through the post for blowing up the entire campsite electrical grid, but being without the proper connecting plug to hook my van up to the electrical supply box, I thought not knowing a thing about electrical systems...let's see if i can work this out by cobbling some wires together and then connecting them to the electrical outlet by the side of my camper van. Long story short as soon as I plugged one cable in to what I thought was the live supply I felt this lovely warm fuzzy feelings flowing up my arm when it suddenly hit me that I was electrocuting myself. I immediately tried to let go of the cable which I was still holding onto as I leapt about 4ft up into the air and the bare wire touched something else which caused an explosive sound to emanate from the electrical supply box as smoke started pouring from it. I then for some odd reason couldn't stop laughing for about 30 minutes (felt highly electrically charged) before I hot footed it out of that campsite as fast as I could hoping by gum the local farmer was not at home. Never did return there again. :)
great video again given that you're dockbound. A couple of tips, zinc chromate is quite hard to get these days because its highly toxic, you might be able to get a bit cheaply if there is an airport nearby they might have stock and sell you a small amount otherwise any etch primer suitable for aluminium will do, prime the mast under the fittings and then when its dry install the fittings with sika 291 under them and on the pop rivets. The other chance for zinc chromate might be a smash repair particularly if they are landrover specialists but there are plenty of good alternatives in the paint aisle of the hardware or any chandlery should have some. good luck
I’m sure someone would have mentioned it but do not use regular aluminium rivets you really should use Monel rivets. They are harder to ‘set’ so you need to use a good rivet tool or be built like Arnie. They also seem to cost far more than they should! Good luck!
Good one. In the olden days boats were ship shape when they returned to port after months at sea. Your boat is opposite as it will look almost brand new when you finally leave your berth!!! Sorry you guys were fighting. Try to be sensitive to each others needs in this time of the Coronavirus. We are all getting on each others nerves a little.
Definitely need Zinc Chromate Paste as a corrosion inhibitors. Spreader roots take very high point loads and must be strong. A big source of mast failures. You can see the plate has deformed under the load. This needs to fit flush. Can,t see so not sure how it could be riveted. She’s really looking tidy isn’t she ! Great stuff! Stay safe and well.
I am learning along with you guys 😊. Never been sailing, but you are so inspiring. You are making my lockdown isolation more bearable too. Thank you x coffee and baguette on the way :-)
Love you guys, glad you’re more or less surviving 😂😂 keep yourselves as sane as you can. Looking forward to see you get off that mooring and down the canals again. But don’t worry, your subscribers love your content and we totally understand the predicament you’re in.
What type of rivet gun have you got. Generally need a big concertina type. You also need some good drillbits to drill them out .your mastic should be ok to use the barrier to seal them.
I have an aluminium boat and I use motor trade cork gasket material between dissimilar metal's. Been using it for about 8 years now without a problem. A big roll is very cheap
sor,, meant to say from last vid,, International, Jotun , Blakes Hempel ,, all much the same ,, for everyday use paint go Chlorinated rubber ,, easy to use, nice finish .
have you thought about a boat cooking side Channel? as you 2 seem to knock some good food out, with the limited resources you have. If not can you put up recipes for your cinnamon buns and those nutella rolls?
Now the "irritation and fed up nerves" comes out to play some mind games I think... :-) When you feel it sneaking up on you...eat something sweet! I think you are doing a great job considering the circumstances. Me and a lot of people around the globe adore you two, and your channel! Great content, great footage, great music and a great couple! A tip: Take very good care of your "iron genoa". / Tony
Also word of advice, don't use those plastic connectors you have in your light, the screws tend to corrode like the clappers. Better is to get some butt connectors and some heatshrink.
@@flyingdutchman6984 not to be pedantic, but in times of a lockdown you just need to use what you can find at the time! But yes, ideally those are the boys to use...
@@WildlingSailing most of the butt connectors are crimped on, just need a half-decent little crimping tool and bob's your uncle - soldering can also work, but opinions on crimp v.s. solder is one of those epic disagreements amongst folks :D (I'm on the crimp side...)
Even though you got away with it you should peel off the tape when the paint is wet, also could you not get things sent from the Uk Amazon site to your marina?
I should have said why, if you leave the tape on when it dries it creates a continuous film over both area’s so when you remove the tape it could peel of your painted part. Great video’s though
It's 04h00 in locked down Normandy and I think I just woke the neighbours I was laughing so loud....the first half was hilarious, I know I shouldn't laugh at other peoples misfortune but the way the moment was captured was so fly on the wall, I could have been watching a Ken Loach movie. Joking aside, kudos to you both, you're both doing really well, you'll look back on this challenge as a life changer, the rest will all be down hill fun from here. Talking of down, my mouth dropped when I saw that outboard on the jetty. After your fish dropping escapade I can see you fishing bits out of the river with a magnet. Amazon France was closed for five days to get their house in order, dont know the score today. The "deconfining" from the 11th of may onwards still hasn't been totally defined as yet. It will probably be progressive and travel could still be limited. It might also be down to each department in the country to decided how it does it. That mast light module was a mast light and deck light combined, you probably knew that. That halogen lamp, a household variety , wants throwing away and put a LED in its place, less consomption and more powerful. Bon courage les amies !!
Haha! We were laughing a lot looking back at it. So glad Nadiyana was filming. Don't worry, believe it or not, I didn't drop a thing! Just had one screw left over after putting it back together. I need to give up hope of the lockdown being lifted, I just keep getting disappointed
@@WildlingSailing yeh tell me about it. This imposed shutdown is beyond any human response, which just shows the inhuman mentality of gouvernments for the last 40 years. It's very draining physically and psychologically. But you've been around Im sure. Glad you managed to save a part from the motor, always handy to have spares lying around hahaha ... bon weekend ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
The look back is evident - to see how you handled the video content like a pro, during the lock-down period. There are so many that make boring and quite impersonal updates now. Not you! Keep your courage up m8's! You are brilliant (but you don't know it just yet, which maybe is good?)!
Get some Duralac, we use it where dissimilar metals join together on aircraft. You can buy a tube or a tin. www.amazon.co.uk/Duralac-Anti-Corrosive-Jointing-Compound/dp/B00LB6EUEO/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=duralac&qid=1587150675&sr=8-1 Zinc Chromate paint is ok and used extensively on aircraft BUT it is not an etch primer like lots of people think.
Be very careful when choosing and drilling out for your new rivets, looking at yours I'm guessing the diameter of the rivet is going to be either 1/8 (3.2mm) 5/32 (4mm) or 3/16 (4.8mm) - a normal commercially available rivet puller will manage any of these sizes. When drilling them out try not to elongate or make the hole bigger. The other important thing to consider is the 'grip length' of your new rivets, this is the dimension of the thickness of all the materials added together you wish to rivet (with no gaps.) PS when I say rivet diameter this is not the head size, it's the hole size which you can't see :) If you know the rivet size just use the correct drill, if not just carefully file off the dome head of the rivet or very carefully grind off the head and punch the tail of the rivet through or simply drill through the 'dead' centre of the rivet with a small drill- so maybe start with 3.2mm then work up. Good luck and Take your time.

@ಠ_ಠ yes, it's the opposite of yeeting :D
Your 'mast winches' are halyard winches for tightening your sails' luff tension if you can't get enough on by hand.
Ahhhh I should've known

Your doing a great job of taking care of all the little jobs around the yacht whilst in this lockdown. Just be safe .

considering the circumstances. Me and a lot of people around the globe adore you two, and your channel! Great content, great footage, great music and a great couple! A tip: Take very good care of your "iron genoa". / Tony
Good idea eating something sweet I might try it, it will be a change from banging my head against the wall in these crazy times.
Nice advice, Tony. And a massive thanks for your recent coffee. We have two coffees with extra sugar 😁
Haha, Peter
Stay safe
Will do!
Nadi cooked cinnamon rolls to kill time, finished at 2am, sounds like you succeeded Nadi 👍🏼
Yeah, I was too successful!
French and Chinese all the way to English.. you make it look awesome.. and a caulking gun is only like $4 in USA haha I really do enjoy your videos
check for a brico leclerc near you. My local one is open, able to buy tools paint...
Nice one, I think the diy store just reopened here
Also word of advice, don't use those plastic connectors you have in your light, the screws tend to corrode like the clappers. Better is to get some butt connectors and some heatshrink.
Solder Sleeve Crimpless Butt Connectors
@@flyingdutchman6984 not to be pedantic, but in times of a lockdown you just need to use what you can find at the time! But yes, ideally those are the boys to use...
Nice one, I saw a soldering iron and some heat shrink in lidl, I'll get some on my next trip
@@stevenpaul9259 - the pandemic does complicate a lot of things. 🙁
@@WildlingSailing most of the butt connectors are crimped on, just need a half-decent little crimping tool and bob's your uncle - soldering can also work, but opinions on crimp v.s. solder is one of those epic disagreements amongst folks :D (I'm on the crimp side...)
Another name for Zinc Chromate is Etch Primer.
Nice one!
Even though you got away with it you should peel off the tape when the paint is wet, also could you not get things sent from the Uk Amazon site to your marina?
Oh, really? I never knew. We've got some stuff shipped from an online boat shop so all is well 😊
I should have said why, if you leave the tape on when it dries it creates a continuous film over both area’s so when you remove the tape it could peel of your painted part. Great video’s though
my favourite video of yours is "leg 10"
Ah yes, a classic! It was our first 'big' sail
It's 04h00 in locked down Normandy and I think I just woke the neighbours I was laughing so loud....the first half was hilarious, I know I shouldn't laugh at other peoples misfortune but the way the moment was captured was so fly on the wall, I could have been watching a Ken Loach movie. Joking aside, kudos to you both, you're both doing really well, you'll look back on this challenge as a life changer, the rest will all be down hill fun from here. Talking of down, my mouth dropped when I saw that outboard on the jetty. After your fish dropping escapade I can see you fishing bits out of the river with a magnet. Amazon France was closed for five days to get their house in order, dont know the score today. The "deconfining" from the 11th of may onwards still hasn't been totally defined as yet. It will probably be progressive and travel could still be limited. It might also be down to each department in the country to decided how it does it. That mast light module was a mast light and deck light combined, you probably knew that. That halogen lamp, a household variety , wants throwing away and put a LED in its place, less consomption and more powerful. Bon courage les amies !!
Haha! We were laughing a lot looking back at it. So glad Nadiyana was filming. Don't worry, believe it or not, I didn't drop a thing! Just had one screw left over after putting it back together. I need to give up hope of the lockdown being lifted, I just keep getting disappointed
@@WildlingSailing yeh tell me about it. This imposed shutdown is beyond any human response, which just shows the inhuman mentality of gouvernments for the last 40 years. It's very draining physically and psychologically. But you've been around Im sure. Glad you managed to save a part from the motor, always handy to have spares lying around hahaha ... bon weekend ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
Aye m8’s, this is certainly going to be one vid to look back to. The deck light is separate from the tricoloured nav lights.
I think I got it in the end. And maybe not so interesting to look back on 😂
The look back is evident - to see how you handled the video content like a pro, during the lock-down period. There are so many that make boring and quite impersonal updates now. Not you! Keep your courage up m8's! You are brilliant (but you don't know it just yet, which maybe is good?)!
Living the freakin' dream... just consider it a good chance to get boat jobs done :D (with limited supplies to push creativity)
😁 definitely living the dream, for most of it at least. Yeah, certainly a good time to get the boat sorted
If you lose any motor parts it means you didn't need them anyways mark lol
cool
Cheers!
"You dont eat food from your enemy..." "Yeah ye do... 😡"
😂😂😂😂😂😂
First comment excited to watch guys ^^
Had to post first comment lol i am child at heart lol
Waheyy, congratulations!
Has the morning sickness started yet?
Haha cheeky
😷😇
Humans are in lockdown & animals are free to roam. Crazy times
Nice one;)
Haha one more story for the grandchildren
Get some Duralac, we use it where dissimilar metals join together on aircraft. You can buy a tube or a tin.
www.amazon.co.uk/Duralac-Anti-Corrosive-Jointing-Compound/dp/B00LB6EUEO/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=duralac&qid=1587150675&sr=8-1
Zinc Chromate paint is ok and used extensively on aircraft BUT it is not an etch primer like lots of people think.
Nice one, I'll look out for some duralac here in France. I got something similar but may not be enough
They shouldn't come on at the same time. One is your steaming light and the other is your deck light
I managed to sort it in the end
Be very careful when choosing and drilling out for your new rivets, looking at yours I'm guessing the diameter of the rivet is going to be either 1/8 (3.2mm) 5/32 (4mm) or 3/16 (4.8mm) - a normal commercially available rivet puller will manage any of these sizes. When drilling them out try not to elongate or make the hole bigger. The other important thing to consider is the 'grip length' of your new rivets, this is the dimension of the thickness of all the materials added together you wish to rivet (with no gaps.)
PS when I say rivet diameter this is not the head size, it's the hole size which you can't see :)
If you know the rivet size just use the correct drill, if not just carefully file off the dome head of the rivet or very carefully grind off the head and punch the tail of the rivet through or simply drill through the 'dead' centre of the rivet with a small drill- so maybe start with 3.2mm then work up.
Good luck and Take your time.
Nice one, I'll be extra careful, should be ok with the drills I've got, either way it will be entertaining
Just realised my Google name?, it was my sons and i don't know how to change it
1) Open your Google Account settings.
2) Next to your name, select EDIT.
3) Enter your new name and select OK.
No worries about the name, so what's your real name?

Be careful. Do not put the boat ahead of your wife's needs or comforts.
