the funny Ridge
last time on the lazy geckos what's going on man you find spot up here this is what's
ailing is all about Toby sound bridge Toby sound great all right in the middle good and
then when we came through the drawbridge they went fireball thrust remember water
pumps giving out Oh rhesus poopy another hiding with the door wide open like check it out they
were stacking up on the bottom would you there seems to be a problem yeah so time
not great king no the right engines malfunction it actually just went max everything can go
wrong there will go wrong at the worst time hey I need a beer bad right Lu this so this
is what it was plugged into it's late we replaced the receptacle welcome aboard
if you got the water make it running but those little leak and was underneath the membrane so
we had to remove the membrane which involves some ligand fittings and stuff it does so took him off
tighten that one down that were putting back together run it again and see if it leaks I'm
sure it'll be wonderful should be good but we're making water is this under high pressure right now
no yeah life in depressurize yeah it's up seven it should be fine that's fine - hey Brittany oh
hi you can come stay on the steps and you can be able to see you bill soon I'm doing this is the
Clark bulb this is the high pressure pump that makes your water it's mounted up on the wall
usually it's like this but the hydraulic gene that can be mounted upside down right side up
doesn't matter it's up on the wall see water comes in goes into this 20 micron filter five
micron filter filters it down to five microns and the water comes out comes into the high-pressure
pump which is the Clark club this on the bottom water goes in there's a piston in there it's a
high-pressure piston pump once it turned on and starts going back and forth building up pressure
once it reaches 600 psi the water starts going through the system and comes out but before it
goes overboard it recaptures that 600 psi water pumps it back into the system and it raises the
water pressure up to 800 psi you have to have water at a their psi for a reverse osmosis to
work all water makers have to get water to a 10 psi it's how you get at 800 psi so this
a very energy-efficient very quiet forces the 800 psi water through a membrane membranes what makes
it happen we bring someone's like living skin rolled up in the tube you force water through
a membrane 800 psi fresh water and slot water separate fresh water goes down the tube in the
middle goes into the water tank salt water is expelled overboard it takes ten gallons
of saltwater to make one gallon of fresh water this 12 volt DC system runs on battery usually
I mount these under the bed of under the bunk and a boat underneath your bed that's likewise it is
besides installing the water maker we also had to repair the transmission that was stuck in
Reverse the problem ended up being this little rod that broke off the transmissions gear levels
okay so now we just back this off and then we can adjust the throw so remote activated
so this will be over thrust
and thrust and that should solve our transmission issue and well then it will be the same thing
when we get to Tampa after the new engines are installed except it'll be actually more
detailed and I'm gonna have a technician come up and he'll actually reprogram the commander system
to make sure the throw is the exact right length looking good yeah we'll get offshore wouldn't get
that darn dinghy repaired we'll be way ahead of the game just do it mm that's the three to
five years of you she's gonna pick this up and we went in I can take this off in ten minutes
have it on the dock change the membrane put it back in the whole process can take an hour doing
membranes on a regular system several hours this makes about 16 to 18 gallons an hour
idle get it running better better
it's getting looser that's perfect now doesn't hang up at all because the the steering the
hydraulic shaft looks perfectly smooth so would you put a little put a little bow shield on it
and I could look inside the back here and see that the little hydraulic pump there that you
twist is moving so it was just probably there was a little bit of salt or something that got sucked
into the seal yeah and wouldn't let it move but it's not leaking at all and now its class
move we're good right baby you want to give a little crank without the choke the superstar
she's bi taking out learn around in service for a while
it'll flush it up with fresh water for five minutes and then it'll go into an automatic
timer and since this has the Z ion system it'll automatically freshwater flush itself every 30
days if you haven't used the unit there's a silver rod inside that filter right there and
the electronic charge hits it and activates in the discharge of silver ions into the water it's
a very minor charge that supplies the charge to the filter that ionizes the water therefore you
only have to change the water every 30 days this is what a boat looks like when you're working on
it a disaster but not so bad when you're on a catamaran why did you say I know I'm filming it
we're working on the boat in Fort Lauderdale our little stop it's been very successful but we got
the water maker done we got the power figured out we got the engine figured out the dinghies working
this was a successful three-day stop almost 12.7 yeah I think it gets up there about thirteen point
one when we have thirteen point one the generator is very happy on the start so the generator on
PDQ Zin Antares is an isolated unit it has its own start battery that start battery is not charged by
anything on the boat except the generator that way if the boat has a power leak or somebody screws up
or we have god knows what kind of problem in theory we always have one good battery which
is the generator start battery which can save you because then we can take care of everything else
with the generator problem is is there's no way to keep topping off the generator start battery
except to run the generator and what we found is even with a really good high quality lifeline at
AGM the electronics on the generator because it has a digital control panel slowly draw down the
battery and so we're seeing you know the battery only holding like twelve point one volts after a
week or two if you're gone and then when it goes into its start cycle it's starting with less than
ten volts so I put in a small Marinko battery which is now on the boats inverter and so it
can keep the battery always topped and I should keep it and then what we'll do is I'm going to
install the mounting base today and then let it dry overnight and then I'm going to screw in the
charger tomorrow when it can take the weight and then I can give you a complete tour of how I did
it this is the remote control panel for the water maker you don't have to sit down in the bilge and
do everything there was a control head like this on top of the unit this is the one that's up here
in the main salon say I want to make some water auto run bang I turn it on it's gonna run for
like two hours right now after it runs for two hours it'll go back into auto flush mode flush
this up for five minutes and then go into a 30-day timer so right now it's going into a
startup process it's a soft start motor it doesn't just chant them on and shove everything it slowly
comes up and starts to start to make water let's neat because you can everything read it from here
you don't have to go down now it's making good water and that took about thirty seconds we're
going to went on until it's making good water it's sending water to the water tank right now after 2
hours it'll flush itself we know it's making good water we're done for the day it would usually
automatically shut itself off and going to flush mode I'm gonna manually stop it and then now I'm
going to go into freshwater flush mode now it's going to flush itself for six minutes freshwater
shut itself down then if you don't use it within 30 days it'll flush itself and then waiting for
you to use it so apparently - here - working on stuff when you're damaged is what Advil in a
beer that nifty fridge Thank you Thank You bartender it's five o'clock somewhere thank you
it's a sale guitar so here we are and oh by the way this never works on the first three
tries so I hope you have a lot of gigabytes oh yeah feel it in there you go huh oh yeah
this has to be YouTube of all I can't I'm gonna put it in the forward one there's uh
so here's the feed and there's a channel here and this this foil has two channels
and I just can't remember which one I had it in last I don't think it matters
we've been itching to put this sale up since coming aboard we're about to leave the ICW for
some offshore passages so it was time if you ever hear sand on a boat that doesn't
sound like anything you've ever heard before that is the boat sinking burning down running
ashore being run ashore or something not good happening the headaches the head exploding is
a it's a new one it's a brand new head and when it sounded like what's that sound of
rushing water if there's rushing water on a boat it's bad what you do we run to
the sound of rushing water and we go oh the brand-new Raritan marine had just exploded
but that's okay because it could have happened 20 minutes ago while I was sitting on it and
that would have really been otherwise right now I'm good I'm you know I'm clean I feel
good about myself and the bilge pump works the bilge pump works so we think right so we think
you know what I heard it kick in I'm glad your toothbrush little head was covered yeah exactly
basically we came in here John came in here waters playing everywhere look in the back this
is all I'm having this little nipple pop right out of this so we're just gonna it was it was
installed not by John by somebody else and it was a little bit short so I'm just gonna bring this
up a little bit real tight put it in as far as I can if you're at a dock up at the bar having a
drink and you're gone for like five hours we're on dock water yeah that's how you think about
Caesarea being pumped as many gallons as it could into the boat total overwhelming the a bilge pump
so I seriously like there have been some things happening on the boat that I'm like wow like the
power cords yeah like it was gone but don't you think like some crazy things have been happening
work like okay we could die or I'm not the we she you're staying on the boat I'm leaving I'm
gonna frickin high it I'm gonna get myself a club level room the toilets explode no one cares I call
someone so when we say we dying it's more like you yeah it's a good [ __ ] yes anything back on
is there pressure to it it should be banging on there if it blows again it's a spool line
what's for lunch how's it looking honey looking good so the head combusted for a second time
is that sweat or water oh it's sweat I mean you sweat maybe a little bit a pinch or planer
out the head okay so what are we doing and it combusted a second time yeah well this whole
thing just slip back out so into the plant my hair if I can you know what I might even
take that same often just put this one like this is a much better plan someone
do big-ass put that we clamp I don't need that big plan so there's two on there now
right there for one the bottom so not too tight but tight enough to not let the host
slip back down so this shouldn't be able to come down the pub oh okay now you're talking
migrant this hops off now um Britney's next how can I help clean this up drinking my beer
we completed a ton of tasks during our time in Fort Lauderdale now we need to
top off the diesel tanks before making our way offshore John's John's told us
it's an all-nude sale today I don't know what that means but we're gonna find out
coming soon on the lazy geckos between six and eight apparent try it out yeah it is
who do you like anchoring Warwick
she's up she's happy beautiful job honey what kind of knot is that you know what this is more
like triage 64 gigs per card we have four parts here this is an awesome day and down to the bow
