Windlass Removal and Installation [Adventure
Vložit
- čas přidán 11. 09. 2024
- We get the bad news that our old windlass motor can’t be repaired AND we’re being kicked out of the harbor by the police! What do we do? A quick 3-day windlass replacement! Come see how we come up with a solution, replacing our old Nilsson with a manual windlass and a nice install, despite cold, rainy conditions.

That windlass is a beast!
the gentle art of sailboat repair.....
Good stuff guys. Apart from the singing at the beginning. It sounded like Penfold being boiled in oil while being hit by a set of bagpipes 🤣 Just love your videos, so genuine every time. Sail Safe guys. Ant, Cid and the pooch crew.
@Leah Templar Quote; "And so we come to the confusion of another classically confusing conflict. Can the wretched robot be reconstructed or will he end up as rabbit rubbish? And what of Quark? Quark! Oh, gosh. To find out, join the tune, and see the next adventure of Danger Moose, Sorry Mouse". LOL
Good vid ya'll, she's coming together.
Ah, Ty singing always makes for a good video. Even sarcastic singing. Good to see you making progress.
Nice job guys. If you want the original winch motor rebuilt, let me know.
Nice! It's a shame they don't make new manual windlasses. They're pretty bulletproof. Which is the opposite of how I would describe the electric ones. Seem to have a 5-7 year life. Which is disappointing considering how much they cost.
5 to 7 years you are being generous. More like 2 to 3.
@@MrRourk 2 or 3 months after the warranty expires...
There are specialty shops that rebuild electric motors. The best thing about the manual windlass is exercise, it develops strong arm muscles.
Yep, we had it in at a local motor rebuild shop - the motor needed a new armature, which was apparently custom for this motor, so no luck there. But the exercise and less chance of breaking 👍
Don't see a problem with manual windlass. No issues with a motor failing when you need it. Good video y'all, looking forward to you getting out to sea.
Our thoughts exactly, better to be able to use some elbow grease than to be SOL!
We'll it's nice to see that you use manual methods.....you don't need mutch workout beside the boat work. Male capten even sings, nice "maraca". All the best! BarbroSweden
Buy a rebuild kit while you can and cover it when underway and keep it lubed. I had one of those windlasses good but will corrode.
We found a great guy in the UK that makes spare parts for them and seems to be a great resource 👍
I would put a wlndless up thier electical
I had that same windlass on my boat! It was almost 50 years old and worked great! Unfortunately a lot of the harbors in the area don’t allow you to anchor for long. I had just dropped anchor over on Vashon last year and the Sheriff came around and told me I had to move within three days. I tried to see if there were any actual laws saying that and I couldn’t find any. At the same time it’s not really worth getting into an argument with law enforcement.
Yeah, I understand them not wanting the derelict boats around, but a real bummer for everyone else.
There are a few guys around that rebuild those motors. In Tacoma and Puyallup.
We had it in at Sound Starter & Rebuild - they said the motor was beyond being able to be fixed, unfortunately. Needed an entire new armature , and it was a custom-designed piece... We wish we could have gone that route, but didn't seem worth it.
Adventure Adrift they are good so it’s probably good info. There is a guy on Valley Ave in Puyallup that does them too just past the Kia dealership. And then guy behind the store in N Puyallup at Valley and Milwaukee.
Nice to see short sleeves in January in Tacoma did you have lunch at th eTides
We did visit once 👍
Great great job
looks good
Loved your new band sounds!!! Why did you have to leave..what is the reason given?
Many cities have rules about how many days boats are allowed to be in their harbors, developed mostly to keep out derelict boats.
Yeah, basic is best, easier and cheaper to fix when it breaks... An inevitability in a salt water environment.✌️🙏🏼
Enjoyed your video guys! What's up with being forced out of the harbor? Dealing with some real friendly folks there... hope things work out well for you.
It's a high-end neighborhood, and I guess a few very particular people who have nothing better to do than count the number of days every boat has been in the harbor...
Is it one of the marinas or a person reporting anchoring boats?
I had a friend who stayed at the marina a few years ago. Place is crawling with busy bees and self important peeps.
@@MrRourk Ha! It's just Gig Harbor. Who do they think they are? Bainbridge Island? :)
It is one or two of the local residents... rumor is they have a fancy house on the hill with a telescope and count the number of days every boat has been in the harbor.
Are you guys coming north to Alaska?
At this point, all plans are on hold and up in the air.... We'd love to cruise there one day!
How many cranks on the lever for 10 ft of chain?
Hmm... we haven't calculated... The shallower the anchorage, the easier, deeper means a bit more weight/work!
@@AdventureAdriftSailing Thanks, and thanks also for doing the channel, you guys do a great job! Keep it up!
Nice video guys where are you moving to? Hopefully there won’t be so many narcs around Good luck
Ty what did you do with the money?
2:03 edited or real? Sounds real to me.
The yell in the background? Think it was the local rowing club ;)
Seal it with 3M 5200
Oooof... then we'd never be able to remove it without destroying the deck!!
:)
What kinda scumbag makes it their business to track you down and run you out of town they should get a life , and mind their own business
Ty, don’t give up your day job.😜 it’s a shame how city governments are a pain in the backside.
