Let’s Go!❤️⚓️🎼
There is nothing complicated as a spinning wheel a length of cable and some pulleys.
The curse hits again…
No rest whatsoever
Drama after drama…😢😢😢
BOAT = Bust Out Another Thousand
Let's look on the bright side… as long as the hull is afloat, there's hope. 🙂
I see a pattern here!
Come to the canal du midi I live on my 15m boat in Colombiers.
Sorry your having problems.
Waiting for Keith from @sailingzatara to comment. Lol
A hint: In the north the growth of weed is much slower. The time of Easter is usually the best one. White mountains and sunny weather. Don't forget the fishing gear, because fish is abundant 😀
Nice little tip before the winter arrives, you will probably need fuel and a quick crossing to Guernsey for a duty free refill.
Your water pump is like the system we have at the cottage. The pressure tank we have will keep its pressure all year, so I'm surprised that yours would leak down.
I officially know more mechanical/electronic things about this boat than I ever wanted to. Hopefully you'll start doing videos that show us something about your surroundings rather than technical boat stuff. It's been years already.
Many years ago when i was starting out in work i was told " if it ain't broke don't fix it"…….and i still think on that advice before i mess with things working!
Another PERFECT video! Thanks for another lovely Sunday.
Oye vey. This is why I couldn’t own a boat. You guys are way better than me. I would have called the repair person right from the start. ❤❤
Black magic of electrical systems has always been the main obstacle of my confidence in offshore cruising. I'll stick to calling in professional's.
Sooooo, what your actually pumping up is the bladder inside the tank. This reduces the amount of time water pump needs to run and also prevents short cycling of water pump which would result in surging of water at faucets when opened and premature failure of pressure switch. Always something to learn.
Electronic steering is only an advantage for the shipyard because electronic cables are easyer to install than steering wires. If you don't run a superyacht with professionals in the crew you should stay with an mechanical steering.
Hi Guys – looking at you filling up the volume tank with air, I noticed that the air valve seems to be pointing away from your position – If i am correct in my assumption of the prolem, you can buy a valve from any vehicle stores retail outfit that has a big "U" in it – they are are used for pumping up tyres in trucks with dual wheels – It is difficult to get the airvalve connected onto the inner tyre, so you connect this "U" shaped piece onto the existing valve and you won't have to put the pump air piece on by feel – I may have the whole thing screwed up, but if not, it may assist you in the future ? Great videos as always Cheers.
Why do Americans use Celsius and liters in videos when we are American? Either way. I love your content!
Boat work – bummer baby
30:19 the "school of hard knox" is best learned through real world experience
23:00 Most German thing to say. Honorary German badge applied. 😆
Glad y'all got the whole Simrad system figured out and updated Delta Foster to rated for 65 PSI the pressure tank needs to be filled to whatever your faucets are ready for if you over pressurize the system you could start blowing seals I am building a whole new water system for my boat from scratch my water pump that I have got for the system is rated at 70 PSI I'm going with a rain man for a water maker the water system on my boat is going to be really really cool
Thanks for a nice Sunday morning coffee with the Wynns. Glad things are working. Thanks for sharing ❤
Big thumbs up.
Ah, the joys of ye ole updates.
Yep, your steering unit is called FU!!! That should tell you something, no? 😂😂😂
On a complicated Mastervolt system like yours, you really want to install their USB device and use their MasterAdjust program to finetune voltages and currents, alarms, triggers like low charge percentage, etc. It’s likely that the chargers are not set up 100% identical. PM me if you need more info.
