I'M SERIOUSLY ABOUT TO THROW THIS SAILDRIVE IN THE TRASH!

- This week we try sail around the northern end of New Zealand, but firstly have smoke coming out of the engine room, then we hear a knocking noise coming out of he Saildrive, which puts a halt on the entire New Zealand Circumnavigation!
SV Parlay is a hurricane damaged Lagoon 450 catamaran, which Colin rebuilt with friends and has started sailing around the world. We found bulkhead damage on their catamaran in Panama, so have fixed her up, and are now sailing across the Pacific Ocean!!

Watching Colin work his "magic" on all things boat related is inspiring. His can do spirit is what makes this channel.
Thanks Bob!
You guys make it look easy.
Man, the way you diagnose problems is great to watch.
Thank you!
Blown away by how much the show is a microcosm of life, just so very inspirational, always turning chaos into peace in no time. Seriously, there are never any shortages of problems “just like in life” but you and the crew answer the call with precision and grace every time. BRAVO.. Sunday can’t come soon enough!!💪🏼❤️
Thanks a lot for that Bill! Appreciate you watching each week 😊
What is a "caos"?
@@workingdogcentre 😂✊🏼ch
@@billhendricks3143 ????? Don't understand ????
I'm no engineer, but with over 20 yrs in manufacturing, I've found the best way to find the problem is just keep eliminating what's NOT the problem...you'll get there every time, eventually! Been dealing with an oil leak on my truck, eliminated several possibilities and narrowed it down to just 2, fortunately you have to remove one part to get to the other, so I won't be breaking any knuckles on nuts and bolts that don't need to be removed, I can go right to the root of the problem now. Gotta love those jobs where you need to do about 6 hours of labor to replace a $10-$15 gasket or some $2.00 O'rings...
Parlay Revival has become - by far - my favorite sailing channel. Story, narration, editing. Fantastic! 👍😎
That’s what we love to hear 😊 thanks mate
The engineering side to colin and the jack of all that is Jamie is what got me hooked on these guys in the first place. As time consuming and exhausting as it is, boat projects are really fun to watch! But the heart of this show is in the people, experiences and life long friends that you bring along with you, absolutely adore every one of you now and hope to one day ask permission to board myself.
Thanks for that Philly! We hope to welcome you aboard one day.
You know it an interesting episode. When 20 minutes later you feel like you only got 2 minutes.
Great episode.!
More to come!
Likewise, couldn't believe it was over!
@@ParlayRevival *_ Sh!t.... Colin, the boat's name HAS to be changed.... like it should be "KANGA" (You'll know what I mean) _*
@@ParlayRevival Heck yeah. Can't wait.! 👍🍻
Love Brit being more talkative💜
I made a plywood box with gasket that fit around the drive leg and bolted to the hull so the sail drive could be removed in the water. It fit either hull.
Hat’s off to the editors on music & sound effects choices. Great job!
Thanks! Britt’s doing an awesome job 🙌🏼
@@ParlayRevival I’m a 30 year video editor. She’s extremely talented. And as a longer time audio producer I applaud her control of audio & music levels.
_HUGE_ RESPECT returning the bug to the reef - did my heart good!
Big for a "bug" !!!!
@@user-qu8cx3tf1w _King of the monster bugs!_
She did look delicious though...
I feel the same way Brit, & we are super grateful you are there documenting all the boat issues.
Any of the manufacturers of these boat problems, should also be grateful for the documentation, so they too can fix their problems.
My house is behaving like Parlay, fix one thing & then another issue pops up.
It never ends.
Cheap easy low-tech way of isolating a noise: cut a section of garden hose. One end on suspect area of the engine the other end to your ear. Husband does this all the time on car engines.
My dad would do the same thing with a sawed off broom stick handle. One end to his ear, and the other around the engine, touching different parts. He could find a bad rocker, lifter or valve issue very quickly.
Long screw driver also works.
All the above are excellent improvised mechanics stethoscopes.
Sometimes, they can even be better than an actual stethoscope, by eliminating some high pitched frequencies.
Good deductive, minimally invasive, diagnostic procedure nonetheless!
Man, I love your channel! Not just for the sailing, but for all the structural and mechanical stuff you do! Keep up the great content! Thank you!
Thanks man!
Colin there is no better person to attempt a circumnavigation than you. Biggest thing is your ability to keep your cool under pressure. Your understanding of systems and how they are designed to interact is critical for troubleshooting, something that is not easy for everyone. Everyone on Parlay is so fortunate you’re at the helm.
Bummer regarding the sail drive but she hit the nail on the head at the end there in that one of the many reasons the channel is great is watching Colin diagnose and carry out the repairs himself…
Tampons are great for plugging the drainhole on cooler compartments on ski boats. Turning a self draining cooler into a livewell when filled with water. 👍
Brit, you're doing superb job filming and editing. Learning by watching, listening, and doing. Thanks for sharing.
Nothing stops you and your crew, it just means a small course adjustment in plans ! Good thing about drives like that, there will likely be lots of old spares available online or hopefully locally until you can arrange an upgrade/replacement to another model better suited. Maybe a better unit can be swapped with some help from manufacturer ?
Maybe some manufacturer will be willing to make Parlay a test mule by sending 2 sets of different paired drives to use with their return planned so they can be disassembled by factory in exchange for a new or used set of 3 (1 spare ?) for permanent usage ? Think of all the owners of Lagoon models watching your boat as a leader in what they'll need in future... you're a pathfinder vehicle.
Man that sail drive system is a real pain. There is a lot to be said for the simplicity of a shaft drive. Great episode guys.
Such a pain! Thanks for watching man
Shaft drive has a cone clutch in gearbox also 🤷♂️
Definitely good to have an engineering background. That looks so complex to me.
It comes in handy for sure 🙌🏼
You can’t learn this in school, his mechanical engineering degree forms the foundation but it takes an entirely different skill set to do what Colin does. I can safely say that if Colin had to pay for others to do what he does… this dream would not be happening. I sense the constant “big fixes “ are taking its toll. That fiberglass dusting he got heading to his family’s cabin was a killer. Doing that job in an absolute factory perfect environment would suck, doing it on the water…over the top SUCK yet he handled it. Colin’s leadership instills confidence in his crew and anyone that gets to sail on Parlay is fortunate.
@@judd_s5643 well I for one am always impressed watching his skills and positive vibes.
The view from Parlay into Whangamumu was nothing short of incredible. Colin, New Zealand is one epic view to another. Cheers brother.
Awesome content as always team👌👌 Loved seeing Pickle show us that you can go swimming no matter the obstacle 🤣
Mechanic tip
When looking for a sound and easy way to find it is this. Put a 2 foot section of broom handle on the part you want to find the sound. Put the other end against your ear about 1 inch under your ear hole about your ear lobe. . Then just move the broom handle to different parts you will be surprised what you can hear inside different parts when even the engine is running. No need to jump into the water
Always amazed how you manage to hold all these very different people together and with a purpose, true leadership there! A very unique skill set for sure.
It’s all about sharing the experience. Thanks for following along 🤙🏼
Oh my! What another inspiring episode. Colin and crew, thank you all for sharing your journey with us all. I was diagnosed with cancer at the beginning of the NZ lockdown and stumbled across your channel. I have looked forward to watching your adventures each week, and each and every one of you have inspired me to keep on keeping on. I know nothing about ships, sailing or mechanics, and do not know what the heck you are talking about but, that it not important. What is was being able to join you all with your adventures, taking me along with you and being in a happy place to forget my worries for a wee time each week. Once again thank you for allowing us to join you weekly, May your adventures continue.
Thanks very much for following along on our journey. Sorry to hear about your cancer diagnosis and hope your treatment is working!
Sending you strength and support from the UK
Love the good, the great, the amazing and .. the reality of boat ownership that manifests itself from time to time.
I’m always amazed, but it’s always comforting to no Collins on board because he fixes anything and everything. You’re a godsend for a boat because most of us watch you and go we’re dead in the water and you were describing all these little things because people have to learn and I’ve been watching you for a couple years. I was confused. Love your channel.
If I’ve learned one thing from this channel, it’s to not buy a hurricane damaged boat.
Make that any Boat. Money pit and Guaranteed to break down.
Exactly Colin , couldn't have said it better myself ! I loved being on the water ! Unfortnately I got divorced , and my man Joe Diamond her dad was lost in the transaction ! I miss that guy ! He was the father I never knew ! He was the coolest guy I knew ! Loved fishing and being on the water , his dad Glen was a good man also GRHS ! Sorry just had to say that ! Got it out again for now !
Really nice video. It's unfortunate all these things are happening to Parlay now while you are circumnavigating the Country. However fortunate it didn't happen while in Polynesia or sailing to New Zealand from Polynesia. I am glad you returned the female crab back to the water so she can produce more off spring. Looking forward to hear about Jamie's race that he crewed and more on Parlayon next weeks video cheers
Cheers Jonathan! Thanks for watching each week 👍🏼
15:06 I camped on that beach 20 years ago. It’s a beautiful hike in! On a separate trip we continued on from Whangamumu out to the Cape Brett Lighthouse. Great memories!
Hey Collin. Dave and I were in St Andrews NB 🇨🇦 today at St. Andrews Brewing Company and Steve walked into the building. We were sitting on the patio. Dave says he looks familiar do you recognize him and I said yeah. I went to the head and I said to Steve my husband says he recognise you are you on CZcams? He says yeah on Parlay Revival and I said 🤣🤣 holy shit. Anyway he sat with us for about 40 mins. Answered all our questions and shot the shit. It was the best. Maybe someday we will meet. We love you guys 💛❤️💜🇨🇦
Hey Capt Colin
Here my take on finding problems with motor
Either get a doctor heart beater contraption or
Just a hose long enough to reach down around the engine and the other end straight in to your ears to pin point the problem
Hope that's helpful cheers
Congratulations on the subscribers on Instagram and CZcams! Fun surf sessions. Bummer on the mechanical stuff. Look forward to seeing what's next. Thanks!
Do you ever think parlay was never meant to be revived? It does make the best videos and I truly love watching
Stethoscope Collin, every good mechanic needs one.
So cool Collin yall we're able 2 do some Surfing ! An having tha spare part 4 tha motor , Love tha channel Buddy I❤
21:00 Britt and Collin sitting in a tree. She is lucky to have you bro.
Longer videos Please❤❤❤ Maybe more nature scenes from the areas you're exploring and more of Colin's wise words and handiman tips! 😊
This channel has it all.
One problem after another.
No othet chanel has so many interesting situation and stories.
Excellent variety,, excellent locations , excellent fun
Whongaroa is a bloody nice harbour to stay in And good diving out in the entrance of the steep cliffs bloody beautiful there
Love watching you all. Great content always
Thanks so much
Whoop woop! Lived in Whangarei for a couple of years back in the day. Loved the place, so many beaches and fab weather all year around 🙂
Learning each time and appreciate paying the teachings forward. Inspiring and thank you.
🙏🏼
Thank you so much Collin and the rest of crew
Thanks for watching!
Love my Sundays with Parley. Thanks
Thanks Robert!
All these recent problems. Parlay waited until you were near shore. She surely must love Colin. When she was near death he rescued her and tended to her needs. Then she got to see all the wonderful places Colin took her to. Few Lagoon 450's have had such adventures.
Aka Jamie 465 😊
Your problem is your aft sail drive mount. Love the videos and keep them coming
Great episode guys!
I can’t wait for the next one even though I know what happens!
Me too!
we watched all but season 1 of below deck sailing, its a blast, dont get into reality tv, but love this show. go glen !
Love to ya’ll & thank you for consistently sharing your journey 😍🙌♥️
Thank you for following along on our journey 😊
Good luck and thanks for sharing. be safe
Thanks!
Thank you boys and girls for yet another great video 🥰 Enjoy your trip and stay safe ! Hugs from Spain
Thanks Nina ☺️
Thanks for the insight with sail drives Team hope it's not bad !!!!!!! (:))))
Colin has it under control!
Amazing your knowledge and your calm attitude with each problem that arises. See you next week!
Thanks Nina, see ya then!
Love this stuff about how real living on the Magnificent Parlay really is ,Colin people who travel in your dream are so lucky with your expert knowledge of all engineers stuff adds to there safety , and everywhere you go they love ya
Colin - thank you for taking us with you on your adventures!
Thanks for coming along for the ride 😊
Another awesome episode such great photography as per usual nz is such a beautiful place
It really is! Thanks for watching Steve
Nice to see more of Brit .
Another brilliant episode and more inspiration to get out there and not let anything hold you back.
Thank you! And damn right, get out there 🙌🏼
What would be super handy is a video on fault finding. For example, how did Colin know he could and how to jump start from different components in the electrical chain?
The basics of fault finding with Colin!
Keep the sail drive, the chaos keeps things interesting ❤️ love from the OBX
Haha you’ll have to watch and see :)
Oh how great it was to see home Whangarei and the bay. Caught so many Kahawai at Ocean beach. Used to eat the oysters at the whaling station they were fantastic. Hope to see you catch a wave at Ahipara when the wind is right.
Excellent video Parlay Crew!!! Can’t wait to learn something new mechanically in the next vid! 💯🔥Heads up and enjoy working in an awesome place with even better crew!
Appreciate it!
How good did that Brisket look!!
Great episode Team Parlay
We want to relive that entire bbq!
That was a classy intro and outro for your sponsor, Mitre 10 Mega
Excellent work
They must be chuffed 👍
Finally someone who knows what we Kiwis call 'crayfish' is spiny rock lobster! 🙂
Yall are phenomenal
Thanks Brent!
What an adventure of sailing around the world and finding solutions for the problems that can occur to anyone? Thanks for sharing your experiences. 😊❤
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching
You are the man colin 🙌
Right back at you Christian 🙏🏼
Incredible, you are one smart person with so many talents.
Thank very much
I work at that mitre10 and nobody said you where coming in on my day off. I was gutted 5 years watching you and missed you when you where here ahh well still love the channel.
I missed seeing Colin because jamie said he was off having a shower...
Sorry mate, hopefully we catch you there next time
Incredible ❤
Thanks very much!
Just incredible what all of you are capable of. Take care of each other and the world will take care of you ❤️
Too true 🙏🏼
I hate to wish any problems on you. But, when something goes wrong, the way you explain your reasoning is so educational. Great video. Tom, Sv Skyfall
Seriously Great Video ❤
Thanks Debra 😊
Chasing saildrive noise reminds me of putting a long thick screwdriver's handle to my ear back in the day and pressing the blade onto various bolts and housings, makes an incredible budget stethoscope - bugger all room in there to do that tho and you probably already thought of it anyway, just reminiscing really... good times with bad engines 😅
Once again we get to see how smart Colin is with the mechanics of the boat! Sorry about this issue, Colin, but thankful that you know how to eliminate each problem until you find the right thing. Best that you fix these issues now rather than in the open seas when you eventually leave NZ. Love you all and God bless you all.
Thanks and yes very true 🙏🏼
Cool crew. Colin is the best..great Captain.
Thanks man 🙏🏼
They always say owning a boat you always have to Break Out Another Thousand! Cheers Colin.
GREAT SKIPPER....
Hope the sail drive is a quick fix!
As always expect the unexpected. Keep plans and timelines flexible. Having the know how, tools and parts to get by. Whether it be the front starboard deck top delaminating, generator or saildrive cone clutch failures. Circumnavigating North and West NZ.
Great job Colin and Brittany. Teamwork shows. Steve Schroeder
Thanks Steve!
Exceptional truly. Because you have more than exceeded Lagoon corp’s intended purpose for this vessel
That’s the goal 🙌🏼
My SD50 drives rotted away last summer and I had to "force upgrade" to SD60 drives. My goodness they are insanely better. I can hear them shift all the way up on my flybridge. My SD50s had the same upgrade kit you installed, but still lots of problems. It wasn't cheap, at about $12.5k per drive installed. However, I also spent about $4k on lower shaft replacement parts for my SD50 2 years ago. The drives themselves cost about $7k with the SD50 conversion kit. However Yanmar wasn't willing to honor any warranties unless I had them pro installed. But with all your certifications, maybe they'd let you.
If it's in your budget, I'd upgrade. Most of your problems will go away...
Hi Colin, it seems you are the champion in proving the old saying to be very right, blue water sailing is repairing the boat in exotic places. Best wishes for the repair of the sail drive.
Haha I like that one John. Very true indeed
so happy the Crayfish got another chance at life..........🥰
👍🏼
Last 3 weeks I’ve had to search for parlay. Pick up the game CZcams. I need it on my feed as soon as it’s uploaded. Hahahaha. Keep it up, great team. May see you on the water one day. Cheers
Use the Subscribed feed rather than the Home feed.
Just watched sailing Uma where they also had trouble with their electric saildrive, the lower portion had to be replaced.
Sail drive seem like a terrific idea and solution but
they sure seem buggy .
Comment sub and like the video this channel deservers all of it! All the dedication Collin and the people he surrounds himself with have put in! This channel should have well over half a million subs! This content is always entertaining to watch! Share with your friends and family!
Glad to see that paying things forward,and doing life right that karma has looked over you and waited for parlay to be close to shore for mechanical issues to arise.fair winds parlay always,see you next Sunday !
🙏🏼
Don’t forget to replace that starter relay you used so you have another spare now that you’ve used the spare.
Curious of what is more efficient, a sail drive or drive shaft is also for repairing in remote locations. Also, if you are still in contact with Ben, the Navy Seal, and if he may appear somewhere in the future or even Tom!. Best of luck to Jamie on the race. Have a great day, and thanks for another great video
Just took a day trip on a catamaran in St Thomas to St John. There were several boats that had been abandoned per our Captain and all I could do was dream about one day I will buy a boat.
Nice vid mate
Great video as always, THANK you Colin and crew. 🎉 Sorry about the saildrive issues. I would love to know the band that plays the tune around three minutes and twenty seconds into the video ? Safe sailing, ENJOY ! 👍👍👍🏝️⛵
Man oh man you have patience. Good on you guys. I would be losing my F ing Mind.
It’s not easy, that’s for sure!
Well you guys alwaya pull through. and good onya for that. . Sledding season is done here so I need your Sunday content lol@@ParlayRevival
