- In this vlog, we reach Lymm. I get to paint one side of my boat, watch parking arguments, a sad burnt boat, and repair Leon's friend's Perkins engine on his cruiser. I also have a look around gorgeous little Lymm. Join me, and if you enjoy my vlogs and style of filming and you'd like to support me, then you could buy me a coffee and/or superthanks and subscribe.
Thank you so much. ❤️ 💓 💗 💛

You are a legend Will - very kind, well done you ❤ Everyday I’m overwhelmed by our little boating community xxxx
Ahhhh. Thanks Mrs. 👍 I hope you're going to come up me on the Lanky..
@@NarrowboatWill 😂😂😂 your too quick for me Will 😂😂
OH NO..I've squirted off to early..🤣🤣
You are such a talented mechanic. Lymm looks such a pretty place even in that rain.
It's such a quaint little place. I wanted to hug it..🤣🤣
Well done Ripper on the boat engine
I was relieved when it started. 😁
Beautiful place Lymm, I always love these peacefull places with a lot of history.
Diy is checked and great you could use your magic to help a fellow boater out.
... it is witchcraft I tell you! 😂😂😂
It be witchcraft having a firey orb in the sky yesterday. Back to normal rain today. 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for stopping by Robert. 👍👍
A bit late in the day, but Happy Easter Will, I hope you’ve had a nice day, thank you too for another brilliant vlog !! 😊x
Hello Sue. 👍 I've had a lovely day in the sun.
A very rare thing in the sky. 🤣🤣
If I was a betting man (which I’m not) I would have lost money on you getting that engine started ! Fantastic job
🤣🤣 I like a challenge.
Thanks my friend 😊 I wish you and your family a wonderful Easter too 👍🖐
Thank you! You too Peter..
Love you too ❤
Good morning from Florida on Easter Sunday. I really like the color of the boat with the new lighter gunnels. I think it’s very pretty pretty pretty pretty.
Thank you so much..It does make a difference.
I will thankyou for the vlog a lovely little village all.the best for now 😊
It's such an English town Suzanne. I love it..
Well done getting that Perkins working Will. Boat looks a real mess but it's surprising how it will come together with thought and planning. Great VLOG as usual.
He's already painted it and we move it in later vlogs. Stay tuned..👍
Great work Will. 👍👍
The morse control will improve just by regular oiling the cable. The coolant reservoir is cooled by canal water passing through the heat exchanger. ❤
That's a good shout. I thought it might be raw water cooled. I wasn't sure seeing that header tank. Thanks buddy. 👍
Happy Easter me and my husband love watching your videos 😊
Awesome! Thank you guys. 👍
Very nice place there Will,used too go fishing there , and used to deliver firkins to the pub there parking in over the churchyard to drop them off happy days nice vlog 👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Good memories. That's what it's all about. I look back on my old vlogs and smile. Have a good day. 👍
Very well done on fixing those engines Will. I must visit Lymm very soon it looks lovely.
Thanks Phil. It's not a big place but worth a visit. 👍👍
Wishing you a very blessed Easter Will.
Thank you. The same to you. 🥚🍳
Hey Will great vlog buddy the way you got that old engine running is a true talent. I never knew how nice Lymm was I always associated it with the truckstop which is shite. Anyway you,Leon and tiller man take care and I'll see you on the next one. 😊😊😊
Thanks a lot, Stewart. I was relieved to get that engine going. It wouldn't start at first. I had to give it some wd40. 🤣🤣 cheers..
You are amazing will, lovely vlog, so enjoyable thanks so much. We are hoping to catch you on the cut next year . Our boat is ready for crick and out as CC early next year ❤❤❤❤
Fantastic. I get about, so I'm sure we'll bump into each other. Have fun at crick. 👍👍👍
woaw lots going on in this one buddy, your so handy, I think you need to teach me, safe travels buddy lovely vlogging
Thank you guys for stopping by..👍👍👍
Great vlog again Will 👍🏻 Happy Easter and well done with the engine 🎧👊🏻👍🏻👍🏻
It was great getting that boat started. A boat saved I feel. He's painted it now and he's getting it refitted. 👍👍
Happy Easter to you, too ❤ xx
Sis..Love you..xx
Ooooh looked at you , mr smarty pants lol , well done 👍, it looked nice at lymm , very quaint .
🤣🤣 thanks Lori. 👍
Moored in Lymm a couple of times, it's a really nice place. Just played the van spare wheel game myself, same place, wanted to check it hadn't gone flat.
I got a drill bit in my tyre. I got it repaired. 👍
Hiya Will, loving your vlogs sorry I haven’t been buying you a coffee bit since going back to work after my operation I’m only doing part time and having to budget yike your good self, keep up the good vlogs. Regards Keith.
Don't worry about it mate. Thanks for watching anyway. Filfy fumbs up getting well. 💪👍
Well done on that engine..flooded mine a few weeks ago it a pain 👍👍crackalaka
Oh no. Hope you've sorted it now. 👍
Thanks
Thank you so much Samantha. Happy Easter. 😊
Hi folks I see that you are still safe and well. Which I am glad to see..as for the future of narrow boaters I really can't find anything about the national trust taking over the canal system..??
I noticed that you have shown a boat that had caught fire..?? Unfortunately will this is a daily occurrence on the canals..
I noticed that you are hard at it repairing other people's boats.. unfortunately . will . people have a tendency to neglect the maintenance of Thier boats.. especially when it comes to the engine. You were right about the engine being water cooled the header tank needs to be full of water upon starting the engine..it helps to start the pumping system .
But I am sure that you are aware of this.. anyway mate keep safe and well.. filthy thumbs up 👍👍👍 ..
No Wayne. I didn't know that tank needed to be filled. The other engine tank was empty. I presume its in the sump. That does make sense. I'm glad I could help him. In later vlogs I help him move it. He's painted it now and getting the electrics sorted. A boat saved I feel. 🙌 👍👍
We ran air cooled Perkins diesels underground at the Homestake mine in South Dakota
I think JCB use them as well. Good engines..
you are in my neck of the woods here, Fished many a time on the Canal in Lymm, plenty of Large Carp in the Bridgewater all the way up to Manchester United's ground, grew up playing as a kid on the Canal around Trafford Park, now they built the Trafford Centre on part of it
Wow! I saw some swirls, but I thought it was pike. Canals are full of cracking fish. My lad caught a 9lb chub plus a 7 and 5 in the same spot. We couldn't believe it. 🤣🤣
@@NarrowboatWill Massive Pike up near Kelloggs Factory in Trafford Park and Huge Carp. used to be a Huge Match Fishing Canal with plenty of World Chapions taking part every weekend with 200 pegs
Can see you in a TuTu doing interpretive dance Squidward
Yep! I can see that. Now I can't un see it..🤣🤣
Great vlog mate you are so kind to your kids making sure they don't get ripped off keep up great vlog
I love helping my kids out. Don't tell them. 🤣🤣🤣
Wow ! No other words come to mind ! Lol
I hope there's no swear words in those words. 🥰🥰🥰🤣🤣🤣
@@NarrowboatWill never !! lol
Wow, how amazing to get that old boat engine up and running again... I raise both my clean fumbs up to you. I wish you could see how much laughter is generated by your vlogs... I was just laughing at the break dancing caption and then you doubled it with the ambulance one... I was a goner... 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣 that made me chuckle..
Xx
Thanks
Good work horse perkins engines.
Good choice for a boat, why two engines ? How big is the boat theregitted to must be a tanker or a tug lol.
Great job 👏 14volts should be I bet alternator needs a good clean or service..or replacing.....
Solar panel stolen that's the pits...
What is the long nut on your van wheel ?
Anyway best get a move on 40 miles to cover 😅
Have fun 👍
Kev the brinklow kayaker
I think it's a sea good boat or big river cruiser. 2 engines gives more power.
The nut on my van was a special tool to get the nuts off.
Enjoy the weather Kev on your Kayak.
@NarrowboatWill cheers happy bunny easter to you.
Hi Will. GG says woof 🐾🐾
Wooof gg meeeeooowwww Kat.
Brilliant, bit of everything in that vlog Will. Happy Easter. Best wishes Christine x
Same to you Christine.🥚
Gd vlog will, Happy Easter!! 🐣 👍👍
Happy Easter Beverley. 🐰
Happy Easter old chap. How did you escape from the ambulance? 🤣😂
🤣🤣🤣 no broken bones. Happy Easter.
Looks like an S115 series starter motor Will, Wood auto does the spares for them....
OK thanks for this info. 👌
@@NarrowboatWill I think its full part no is Perkins 4,236 Marine CAV CA45/S115 12-3 Starter Motor..... hope this is of help
@andyince Fantastic help. Thank you. Is other starter does work now I've lubed it and it only needs a return spring. Thank you Andy. There isn't much info out there around the 70s Baracuda boats.
@@NarrowboatWill I work for a remanufacturing company that remanufactures a version of that starter if you have a po box or somwhere I could post to I could send you one 👍
@andyince Wow! What an amazing offer. Thank you, buddy. The boat's starting and running now. The other starter spins, but it needs a return spring. I will let the chap know if he wants the other engine sorted, then he's going to need that starter. I'm off up on the Lancaster and the chap with the boat is off doing his own thing, so I won't see him for months.
Nice video but, I'd think about getting rid of that guy you hang around with that keeps putting you down on your boat painting skills, vlog skills, reading skills.... I'm not sure he's looking out for your best interests. 😜😄 Thanks for taking us along on another one!
🤣🤣🤣 I know..but they keep me on my toes.
Hi mate ,love your videos ! Where is that place at 5:57 that you paint the boat ? Looking for a place to park the car next to the canal and offload a few things to the boat ? Anywhere near Cheshire is fine really ,but Lymm is nice !
You can park your car just past the main road bridge that goes through the town. Just past the bridge is a grassy area. Moor there and park there. It's like a dirt track outside the flats. Good luck. 🫵👍
Link keeps disappearing, sorry, its a parliament link to making canals into National Park status for the wildlife, please Google the more signatures we get the better, thanks, love watching you, makes my day xx
OK. Will do. Thanks for watching. 👌
Will love the vlogs what paint do you use I,ve got to paint mine this summer Thanks
The best paint is toplac in my view. The paint I get is OK but is not as good. 👍👍
Morning Will, hope the link below is helpful towards saving our wonderful canals, nb Bee's Knees, please let me know if you can open it and spread the word, thanks x
I can't see a link.
Im gutted because right now i should be painting my boat but cant get to it because my power stearing fluid has leaked out and my stearing is bad. 😢
Oh dear. You need to fix it ASAP.
Of course, Jesus loves chocolate he made it
Thoughts so..
Morning will.have you been to the drs yetx
What's DRS?
@@NarrowboatWill you didn't feel right last week I was encouraging u to go to GP lol
Oh right. Doctors. I'm rubbish with text talk. I am nearly 90. 🤣🤣🤣
My daughter said go into a walk in center but I feel OK now since Leon had the same problem. We've cut bread out from our diet and we both feel better for it. We still have a sub here and there but nothing daily. 👍
@@NarrowboatWill ok ,love your videos I'm purchasing a boat soon so might see u on the cut take care. Kim
What happened with the the person blocking the road?
They moved it next day I think. What a plonker..🤣🤣
