Hi from the north west corner of washington state. I'm a new to vewing your vlog and im injoying your layed back travels, Im not unhappy you didnt get a house in the country and we probably woundnt have herd of Ben and Emily and the hairy Alen. Your wheather is very much like ours it locks you in and you have to us your imagination to escape, Im doing the same with a motorhome. Safe and fun travels.

Not got a boat but your vedios of life are just the tonic you need thank you keep doing what your doing.

I don't know if a toaster is expensive to run off grid, but I put waffles in the toaster 1 & a half times, then they're done. Cheaper than putting them in the oven. Haven't tried them in the air fryer, but I would have thought they would still be cheaper done in the toaster x
That’s near me…. I live over the hill near the rugby club in a village called tatenhill. Next time you are this way go to the bridge inn near the mooring you had. The food is lovely (Italian). X
In one of first videos on your channel, you can see the mount has a crack. It may not have broken completely through but it is visibly cracked.
Hello You Three - greetings from Poland I'm so very sorry about the broken engine mounting. I think if the damage had been caused when you got that sacking wrapped round the propeller, you would have heard to mounting go. On the video, it didn't look like a relatively new break. I think it's been there for a long time. I would be more than happy to make a contribution towards the cost - 1000GBP is a lot of money to find. Loved your "naughty dinner", new overalls (James Bond action change!) and super clean floor plate. Good Luck with the record issue too. A wonderful video. Full of your usual sunshine, fun and laughter and Alan of course. Stay safe please.

Hi Ben & Emily, If you won't to stop rainwater getting into your engine bay, make a small frame to rase the cover above the floor, so that water will run past & out though drain holes at the stern. The other way to keep out rainwater, is to buy a small 12 volt savage pump fitted with a micro-switch, operated by a float. this is how boats at sea keep the water out. Have a great day. Thanks.

Sorry to say this, but that engine mount would have been a pretty easy fix for an engineer (wink wink). I suspect that sack getting wrapped around the prop could have done that because even though your engine is only small, it will still have a significant amount of torque when the prop got stopped dead. I've seen small diesel engines shred flexi couplings when the prop hit something solid in the canal. Diesel engines have very heavy flywheels with a lot of momentum, which can be enough to shear propshafts or snap propeller blades clean off!
Guys, you could just mix baking soda and vinegar.... paint it onto the plate leave it for 5 or 10 minutes and then wipe it off with the scouring side of a washing up sponge. PS this works on pretty much any hard surface. We use it all the time to clean the UPVC of old grime on houses we renovate.

That engine mount breaking and engine dropping might be putting pressure on the drive plate making the noise because it’s out of alignment. That engine mount leg looks a bit on the underengineered side. I’d get it welded up and reinforced.

I don`t know if it true. My friend has a boat at Grimsby and he tells me things that go on there. He said one person wanted an engine out a boat so he undid it and roped it to a bridge and waited for the tide to go out.
I found you after watching van life videos - KZread’s algorithm actually worked! Anyway, we’re not in the market to live nomadically, but our lives are now no longer rat race, so I find your adventures such a joy to watch. I laughed out loud at what you said about someone collecting their own hair in the sack that fouled up your propellor! That concept would make a great strand for a novel…

Going back to your Q&A video when asked what is the worst thing about boat life? Well, I’m a boater and this is by far the worst thing! Unexpected, un-budgeted, expensive repairs. It’s a real bummer. Although I was managing my day to day expenses on my occupational pension it is the unexpected repairs that made me go back to work and get some cash behind me for a rainy day. I hope all is well for you and your engine issues get sorted quickly. Very good luck.

Hi guys. Love watching your channel, it's magic. My cruiser stern didn't have any edging around the flooring support channels and after a tip I received, tried using hosepipe cut down the middle all along the length and then cut to size. This didn't work as all the hosepipe I could find was plastic lined and made cutting it much to much hard work. I tried this - Metal House Extra Large black rubber car edge protective trim 14mm x 16mm from amazon (seems I can't leave links in comments) and it does a great job sealing against the rain however it does leak a little but you need to clean out the channels and overflow holes regularly. It also aids in engine sound deadening. I'm still catching up on your vlogs and look forward to every one.
Hiya, sorry to hear about your engine mount, that sux! Glad you able to get it sorted. Great video as always..loved the photo shoot 😄👍🏼 and again love your sounds Ben, so good.

I'm guessing the rubber under your deck is used to dampen sound vibration not to keep water out, and increasing water tracking into your engine bay. You need a small lip in the underside of your deck edges so the water will drop down into the gutters. I hope you understand what I mean. ( Water can not run uphill).

I would use the opportunity to check and maybe replace the silent blocks under the engine mountings. They're not that expensive, a lot cheaper than the labour cost for lifting the engine and fixing the broken mounting I would say. I would also check the prop shaft. Vibrations and/or a misaligned engine can wear out the prop shaft. And that can cause water coming in through the propeller shaft. Could be cheaper to do now than to spend another grant next year. But check with the mechanics. Their advice is worth more than my very distant opinion ;-)

Sorry to hear about the engine woes. Was it not possible to weld the broken strut? Were the rubbers of the mounts also gone? (They do have a limited life and they then allow more engine viabration through making it a louder ride. That grey tube-like stuff does well for insulating pipes, but although it is a good shape you would find it is not up to the job of being a seal. It would cut through very quickly. The aluuminium cleaning job worked well. I was susprised how cheap the overalls were - 7 quid only? Great deal. I've been working in the Far East for years - where so many textiles are made, yet we can't get overalls for that price. Also love the idea of a nut and bolt pick and mix.
