    Stu: your Route 66 plans brought back good memories. I rebuilt a 1962 Triumph TR4 and drove from Philly to LA 10 years ago. Long sections of Route 66 are not navigable, so you have to go on a newer highway nearby (Rte 40) for parts of your journey. When you pull off 40 to a town to eat or stay, you'll be back on the original '66, with art deco hotels and old gas stations. The topographical and vegetation changes are amazing as you approach and cross the Continental Divide. You will have a great time.

    Today at the saw mill picking up some logs for a handrail job, I spy an old motor laying in the weeds. It was a Detroit diesel just like the one on your boat. The blower on the side and the rusty piston in the front. It was funny as before your video I would have known nothing about that motor. I almost wanted to pick it up and take it home to put in my boat. But I also learned from you that these engines are thirsty, expensive to fix and most importantly heavy. So I left it there. Thanks for the education!

Honestly, excellent work. I am completely engaged in this project, and I love what I am learning about boats from it. Thank you for putting this all together!

      Probably 5 ways to deal with that. For 1 I thought a metal cap with a rubber knob kind of thing on the bottom for a tight fit. I would want it to be as flush as possible to the cap would be the same size as a flange welded on the crane post.

    Suggestion: Level the boat ? Once the boat is level you can use your magnetic level to ensure the crane is vertical. Leveling the boat will also help with fitout. So glad you are keeping the Drover !

    Put 4-bolts through the deck and then add two nuts on each below and above another plate that the crane is mounted onto. Then you can adjust based on actual boat deck angle or varying loads. I hope that helps Stu. (BTW - you also have Canadian friends and we use metric - eh! )

    • @duncanjames914
      @duncanjames914 Před 5 lety +1

      Side note, you'll need some large washers on each side to distribute the load. Otherwise, just weld on some plate. Just my 50cents from way up above.

    Great show! Consider you need wedges under bolt head/nuts under deck to, otherwise you bend the bolts when tightning them. Or machine the big wedge where the bolts are on top so the surface is parallel to the surface under deck.

    • @otm646
      @otm646 Před 5 lety

      I'm testing fastener integrity there is something called a wedge test. Often at 5 degrees. Pulling at an angle like that dramatically compromises the strength of the fastener.

  • @johnwild3901

    Hi Stu. Just a thought about the deck pad to level up the crane/hoist. I think that the pad should support the whole area of the base plate or bigger with the thin end of the wedge at least 1/2 inch thick to support the lift. that will avoid dig in when you swing inboard with weight, you know what they say about the thin end of the wedge. Just worth a think about mate.

    Just a heads up, even though you probably already know this. Add 1/8" to the measurement you took with your speed square for the deck crane wedge. The measurements are taken from the inside of that shoulder that you had sitting on the deck.

    This is what CZcams is really good for, I'm so happy that you could keep your Land Rover and good on you guys for making it happen.
    On the crane mount, I'd mount a substantial pipe through the deck with a plate on top and gussets underneath to brace it to the hull, bulkhead and deck.
    On the input shaft and bearing of the gearbox. I'd remove the shaft and polish it up as well as replace that bearing, no doubts. A dodgy bearing may last short runs but will invariably fail when you do a long run and leave you stuck out at sea somewhere.
