maybe try and find one and go through the spares I'm pretty sure there's not
one of them about what seems to be the issue Jeremiah the generators everything why do you
think that is not a lack of water instead of a March water pump going yeah just go
ahead and uh press the start button on the generator and you could tell
nope it's junk go ahead and shut it off
since our issues the pump yep broken tell yep how do you know all right you heard of run do you
have an extra pound is it generator crucial in the rest of our trip can we go without it it's Hershel
last time on the lazy geckos
I've already swam with the crocodiles the trackabout
the Windy is crap waiting for your weather window to cross which is
you drink listen to music drink make some food drink and then drink usually
Jeremiah I sneak away during nap time not in our bed but I knew it can you
tell me about these nifty power cords this is not expensive compare go vote
Shh calm down put the string 2013 Ataris 44 i amazing vote jeremiah and i have been torn between
a monohull on a catamaran aboard the Antares 44 i she's a beauty so be prepared because i've
never lived in so much luxury in my entire life anyway this is the master head i guess you'd say
beautiful beautiful shower you walk in nice and spacious it's just like showering at home inside
this vanity is the larger than any vanity I've ever seen it's crazy I don't wanna go sniffing
around or anything over here when you walk out of the master head it's pretty much your control area
all it is is really like you push a button and everything works it's pretty insane storage over
here lots of storage their master cabin huge huge lockers lockers over here more lockers tons many
times this base you say you don't have to space on a catamaran then it's you're insane over here it's
a nice little sitting area there's also where the breakers are another control area and of course a
nice queen size bed you have all your windows and everything you could possibly need to live
comfortably so up here is the navigation station beautiful you can really sit there and comfortably
do your work and this would be your salon area so what I've learned in the other version of the
Antares is this actually goes down and becomes a whole bed not in this one which would be really
nice since this is where you kind of seem to sit get comfortable and watch your movies but you know
what the triple still goes out cuz you lots and lots of room over here it's like a nice little
countertop area and there's also a washer and dryer in here there it is I have had my towels
dried for me after giving out a shower also an ice maker crazy so what I've learned as well and
another version of the entire ease for t4i this they actually made into an ice maker as well as
when I told you about the sofa area but in this one you have a sink which is also great coz you
can come in and wash your hand this is a full freezer the whole thing bigger than a freezer
at home for sure I am now on the other side of the catamaran in there is a little bit smaller
than the master suite cabin area okay this is the galley the oven has been a bit difficult for me
to operate however once I figured it out and the manual was in Spanish as well so the captain just
kind of like translated for me but now it's all good microwave works better than any microwave
I've ever used in my life extremely powerful lots of storage full sinks it's great I love
galley down most people don't I kind of like to cook alone so for me this is perfection now
if you go a little bit further you will find the last cabin but really you could have two
different I don't know you could have a couple of a single person in here this is kind of like
the storage this is how the captain likes it so as you can see it looks like a mess but really
gets organized if you're living on the boat you know where everything is so two heads and there's
been four of us on this boat and it's worked amazingly I don't think you beat anything more
in my opinion but you can still shower in here lots of storage sink you name it it's in there
this engines of lemon generators a lemon council lemon and why couldn't we go on without that
generator the only way this boat stays alive is there's one tiny alternator on that engine that
works there's no alternator on this engine now we have no generator the solar panels
aren't keeping up so if that alternator takes we'll be adrift basically the batteries would I
this charges the batteries you know industry's incredibly electrical dependent and that's how
we started the boat the morning right with the generator yeah okay might be able to
get this pump at West Marine which is right on town yeah not been able to in the past special
order I can I'm trying to think if I can strip one from somewhere else in the boat there's one
on the entire conditioner oh really just like this one the exact same pump I can wire it in
and put it on looks like mounted to a bracket so it needs to be like the same poem don't plan
on breaking down Britney I don't ever plan on breaking down what are you doing what it's cold
all right so March pump just crapped itself this is West marine product a
mile from here we hit the dinghy in try to get to it they have one in stock pull this
the right one same model number you said hope it's configured the same plan but
won't go out there kind of pick it up bring it back wired in and long move the only bad
part about this is I can't start drinking now I know it sucks for you I'm so sorry
pretty cool
yep not only did the pump fail now the ding knee hoist was jammed West Marine was about
two miles away and was closing in 30 minutes we had to get this sorted out
quickly we couldn't depart without the genset working because we're headed for
the Everglades there's no option for power there beside your own how do we
bring the beautiful job honey what kind of knot is that the snubber right lift up yep
it's heightening the hoist twisted which caused the jam now we needed to get it in the
water and roll the weather window is opening for tomorrow so this repair getting done is crucial
successful trick CC we got there just in time for the close wouldn't let us in we had to find a
little spot hopped in Medan really nicely her she had like a trailer in the end of the canal and it
was all boarded up she said during hurricane Irma all the boats came flying down the canal smashed
into her house we all nights they offered John a ride but his walk the two blocks yeah got the
pump now we're back this is the part we needed okay March pump this is mm-hmm hopefully this
is the rank one the same part number so I'm more concerned about the fittings than anything else we
will see beautiful did you have fun no that's just not fun you're gonna hop right into it huh I'm
gonna pull the water the old water pump stopped at all the pieces and do it end easy job yes
okay so what are we doing try not to get less cute that'd be good yeah don't let that happen
so you're gonna pull the old one off and put it on the new one yes did they seal it yeah
they put sumo boy all right fifty two hundred there's no way to and do that I don't know why
they had felt they had to put fifty two hundred on everything at the factory the fittings for
the water hoses were permanently sealed on the old pump trying to remove them would only cause
them to break so the decision to swap the part to the new pump was made I just have
no clue oh is that me too common yeah with the old water making when we pulled it out
they'd actually just 52-hundred everything so you had to cut it out toilet 52-hundred
someone a malfunctioning options of chisel and you know what this is more like triage
doomed is this the first time you've done maintenance on your boat at anchor there you
go it gets really hot sometimes oh yeah very hot okay it feels a lot weaker it's amazing
see it move already yeah
you both are now electrician no we're not what I call teamwork good job guys what's the next part
that I mount it yeah moment of truth is it working yeah it's working actually feel it humming right
no yeah yeah so with the water pump yeah they're called a what they call put somewhere there are
marks pumping there's this is the defective marks pump right here and they're somewhat
easy to find they're just super expensive if you look down here this is the new pump with
the old housings because they they say our TV or 8802 where they want to call us we have to
take off this housing right here on the old one from the old one and put it on here which is fine
because it was no leaking anyways nothing to do with it so that's it make the wires pretty
it's not given the option it has to be purged and nothing in the middle says anything about
how to manually go into a purge cycle and that's because there's water in the lines err err I mean
sorry and that happened we changed filters out they're clogged and you know arrogant lat you
gotta purge it curtsey around there's just not letting you open pressure relief valve
check this out fire so if when you shut it down right so the day ended up with a working gen set
a working dinghy hoist but a broken water maker the automatic function that purges the air out
after changing the filters wasn't working so neither was our water maker either way we had
power and a weather window so tomorrow we depart there's usually something wrong with your boat
so the best thing to do is just relax anyway enjoy every moment and just go with the flow
coming up on the lazy geckos
