- [Lou] A big Thank you to Squarespace
for sponsoring this video
and helping us build the online store
that launched this entire boat life adventure.
After months of work, our sailboat is ready for the water
as long as our final engine test goes well.
Alright, so last time we started the engine
it didn't really start to clean.
We're going to try it again.
The batteries have been rewired
and I changed a couple things.
So hopefully we can get this engine started.
And then the boat is ready to be launched.
- [Woman] Aah. (birds chirping)
(water rippling)
(beep)
(boat engine roaring)
- [Woman] Aye.
Water?
- [Lou] Water is coming out.
- [Woman] Water is coming out.
- Clean start.
(screaming) - [Woman] (screaming)
(boat engine roaring)
- [Woman] (mumbles)
It's so much better this time.
We have problem?
- Yeah.
These electrical wires are burning.
- [Woman] Oh, no!
- Electrical wires are burning.
- That's not good.
- [Woman] That's the smell of plastic?
- [Lou] That's what it is.
- One of, some of the electrical wires are burning on there.
- [Woman] There too close.
- I don't know what's going on it's like the original wires.
- Oh! it's not the ones we added.
- No I didn't add anything onto the engine.
- Hmm!
- You can see them starting to ignite almost.
- Let's just checking to see if,
they said like sometimes the ground wires is loose.
Then that could cause the wires to smoke.
(upbeat music)
- Just when you thought you were done.
- [Woman] (laughing)
- It's like diving.
(upbeat music)
- [Woman] Oh. Jeez.
- [Lou] That's the problem.
That's I think what was smoking.
- [Woman] Okay.
- So we are gonna to disconnect the one cable
that I changed on this entire engine.
And maybe I messed the entire thing up.
(screwing)
No longer connected.
That should fix the problem.
- [Woman] So should I turn the water on?
- Yeah.
(beep) Start it. Action.
(boat engine roaring)
- [Woman] (XX)
- [Lou] Yeah.
(boat engine roaring)
So we are leaving the boat,
but the engine still doesn't work
and the wires are catching fire
or smoking, at least.
Whoa, another problem to fix before we can get in the water.
(truck engine roaring)
- I have some exciting gifts for you, Lou.
- [Lou] Yeah, are those parts?
- These are the engine parts.
- [Lou] Wow. - Its kinda heavy be careful.
Oh man.
Fingers crossed it's the right stuff.
- [Lou] This only took us one month to get.
- Yeah, literally. - [Lou] Wooo.
- A month to the day.
(drilling)
- [Woman] Out with the old in with the new.
There you go.
- [Lou] Though we labeled it one and one.
Now I can cut it and that way when we reconnect stuff
we'll know.
- [Woman] You're going for it.
- [Lou] Yap.
- Oh. ♪ Bum ba da dum. ♪
(laughing) - [Woman] (laughing)
Oh my God.
- Now it's complicated.
Here comes this guy.
Here we go again.
- You got this.
Here you go.
(laughing) Good job Babe.
(murmurs)
- [Woman ] Came through.
- Yeah. We got the old wire harness out.
- [Dave] First one's gone through.
(mumbles)
You see it? - [Lou] Yeah.
- Sweet. Third guy going through.
This is the last of like the big ones.
- [Lou] It's through.
- Now its two little wires.
They going-- - [Woman] Sweet.
- Side by side.
- [Woman] Ready to get through.
- Yeah. Al through.
- Good Job Dave.
- [Dave] Sweet.
- [Lou] Okay.
More is coming.
And looks like we're clear it.
- There we go.
The remnants of our old burned up wire harness.
- I think we are ready to install.
- [Dave] This all the pieces.
- Yeah. We figured out where they all go
now we're just gonna replace them one at a time
so we can't mess anything up.
- [Woman] Yeah. Your diving headfirst to this job, Lou.
- Literally and figuratively.
- [Woman] Very impressed.
- Hu!
- [Woman] Is it working?
- Uh huh.
Like that sounds.
There we go.
- [Woman] Okay.
Well, Ah.
- [Lou] There we go.
- [Woman] Okay. (upbeat music)
- [Lou] All right, the wiring is done.
Everything is connected.
Hopefully it works.
We're gonna finally have a professional
take a look at all of this stuff
and see if we did it right. (upbeat music)

- I can't believe the engine worked.
It is such a relief.
It is what day is it? It is now, June 22nd.
I think we wanted to get the boat in the water in April.
Which was a little bit like aggressive.
But, I feel like this is really like the time
and I was so nervous that when they turned on the engine
all the wires would just melt again
and then we'd just be in the same situation
but the boat might go in the water in like three days.
It is (laughing) just like insane think about.
It's like all really happening.
Can you believe it?
It's Like...
Lou?
- [Lou] (laughing) - (laughing) Its crazy.
- I told you guys.
You didn't believe me. I told you this week.
- I was just like. - I never wanted you to say
don't be a crazy person, Lou.
- I was just like, I can't get my hope up anymore.
Like it's been such a...
Yeah.

I am in shock.
