Maritime Makeover; Fuel Polishing, Propeller Prep & Bottom Paint Primer | Episode 245

Set Sail with us this week on a maritime makeover for VA. While we are yet to actually sailing away, we continue to grind away at the boat jobs. We finally finish the sanding and grinding of the old bottom paint, polish our fuel tanks from diesel bugs and prepare the boat to begin the primer paint job for the Copper Coat application. It's nearly been 2 weeks since we began all the dirty jobs but we are finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

    That was Tom! He was on Parley Revival, I originally thought it was the Italian guy that makes Pizza on his boat. Sierra was a great “guest-Star”, she could easily be the Poster Child for home schooling, she’s so intelligent and stable………"

    Having Tom is a great help, you two are hard working people 🎉

    Great look at real boat life. Its not all sailing and adventure. Hard work produces the moments of sailing and adventure. Great job.

    Watching the diesel snot going through the tubes made me gag. Apparently I will not be heading to Med school. I’m always so impressed by both your work ethic. Cleaning up after all that work would overwhelm me. DOING all that work would overwhelm me. Drinking margaritas on the poop deck after finishing all the work does not overwhelm me.

    I’m not sure why I found it entertaining to watch you grind and paint and fix a fuel tank, but I did! These are huge repairs/upgrades and I hope those are the last for a while. Looking forward to seeing your adventures on the water in the coming months. Enjoy the ride!

    You’ll save yourself a lot of trouble in the future keeping your tanks as full as possible, the less fuel in the tanks the better for diesel bug.

    I share your hate for Diesel as well! I just learned, that glass will capture the microbial growth to the walls of the container, while a rigid plastic will not, allowing the microbial growth to accumulate at the bottom of the container, which in turn allows for better scavenging. Also, the microbes live in the water, of the fuel mixture and feed off of the fuel itself. Fascinating to see a physical demonstration.

    Hi, love your videos!

    On the diesel snot so people don’t waste filters. Set up a pump into a 5 gal bucket. Then 2/3 the way up the bucket make a 1” thru port and hose back to the tank. When you pump to the bucket the snot will settle to the bottom while mostly clean fuel will flow back to the tank. Let it cycle for a while to get the big chunkies. After that you can use your filters to finish polishing the fuel.

    Hopefully at some point you'll be able to install a permanent fuel polishing system and then you'll be all set. The barrier coat looks great!

    Know your limits , accept your abilities and solve the problem...

  • @crashgilliam5983

    You need to pull the fuel through the filter first then through the pump or all that garbage will ruin the pump. Looks like you have it going into the pump first.

    Love seeing your sailing adventures but finding it really interesting to see how much work goes into keeping your floating home in shape. After spending 11 years doing our cottage up we know that motivation is key with all these things, you’re doing a fab job!
