Jenny is brave at least and fun and productive on the boat.
Jenny is such a sweetheart! She seems really intelligent! But most of all she seems to be fun! Hope we can see more of her in the future!
Packing gland....compress the packing by tightening the two bolts you showed in the picture. That will force the sleeve down and compress the packing which will stop the leak. Don’t over tighten though....just enough to stop the leak.
Yes, was gonna post the same thing.
Soak the bolts good with penetrateing oil good before hand.
Bobby should not be doing anything mechanical that has to do with water possibly coming into the boat for his own safety. he's a great guy but a terrible mechanic.
I was going to suggest forcing plumbers putty in from sea side. Your fix much better thanks.
It should drip a couple of drops a minute to lubricant and cool. Tighten when anchored and back off before moving.
@@craigkaschan4822 this is true for a prop shaft seal but less so for a rudder. Rudder packing glands do not need water lubrication like a shaft seal so they can be set up tighter and do not need ti drip.
Jenny is the best help I have seen on your boat
Bobbie sounding like Captain Ron when he said these things take a lot of oil. 😂
That is so classic! You just made me realize that, he totally does. taking us back.
Thank you for another great video Bobby. Jenny is great addition to the crew. Seems like she is a free spirit. That is great to have on the boat and as a crew member. Thank you Bobby and Jenny. I will have a Mojito in honor of you both.
We used to live on The Jersey Shore and had a dock on a
an inlet behind our house in Toms River. A guy once told me that, “A boat is a hole in the water to throw money into !”, and The two best days in a boat owners life are the day He buys it and the day He sells it !” I am sure you have heard those a million times. Fortunately you are able to offset your costs with your videos. Totally enjoy your videos ! You guys rock !!!!!!!
Jenny is amazing. The best crew Bobby has had. Keep Jenny on board.
i haven't been on the SD page for a while, I like this girl, she is REAL. maybe I'll start watching again
Love the vids!! Happy and sad that Megan is getting married - she is beautiful and fun-loving, guessing she'll not be back much if at all. Her smile lights up the world.
Cruising equals fixing boats in exotic places 😁 Loved the video, always fun watching you and the crew enjoy life and even the misadventures.
Love the channel, remember life is good ! 🤗🌅🏝🌊🚤🇺🇸
Netflix and chill…nice.
You're gonna love Phuket, Thailand. Visited there a few times while in the Navy. Take some time to go out to the west beaches, Patong Beach is one that I remember. If you look at the datum of the original chart at Patong Beach, my name is on the original survey from back in 1986. There were no accurate charts of that area until after that survey. Of course, its all electronic now, so it may not show the heritage of the cartography.
There was that tidal wave that changed a lot of Phuket. I was there in 2000 and would love to go back and see it.
Just tighten the packing gland on the rudder. 1/4 turn on the nuts, move rudder back and forth. Do this until it stops leaking. Don't over tighten otherwise the rudder might lock up. Good luck.
I agree spray some kroil on it let it soak, loosen nuts work em back and forth and snug down even you want to wire brush the metal .
Nice crew and beautiful waters. Hope she can be on more videos.
I love her smile
Bobby, while the boat is on the hard, I recommend repacking or replacing all of the thru hips, hoses,band re sealing the riders, and repacking the water box. The age of the dark side calls for this at a minimum.
Sorry auto spell. Re pack thru hulls and re seal rudders.
Hang in there, everything mechanical is going to have its problems, enjoy the little pains in the a$$es;
You are living a life we all wish we could you are very blessed. As a commercial pilot also I totally understand everything you're about, and you and all your folks that travel on the boat, Relax have fun never rush and never worry.
Haha...”Netflix and chill”
Love Puerto Rico and the islands around it. Beautiful beaches around there.
Defiantly need a new USA 🇺🇸 flag for the next season!
😂Every time I see "definitely" misspelled this way I imagine it being like "NO! Never! I need a new flag!"
Yes, he did mention that he was waiting for that one until dry docking for the season, but recognized it on one of the recent videos.
Love the sign on the roof of the bar. "BAR ATM" What more do you need!!
Don't stroke out on us Bobby !
Thanks for sharing !
Love the videos. Also love the saddle float you have onboard. I designed and created them. They're private labeled for West Marine but they are actually "Lazy Bunz" water floats. It was cool seeing them on your boat. Hopefully you enjoy them. They are great for cleaning the waterline and chilling in deep water. Obviously, they're also great for transporting an anchor. Great idea!
Sailing Good Bad and Ugly was just at Culebrita they also had purchase one of your old anchors during their hall out go figure. 👈👈🤓
That boat is a beast! Plowing thru that water.
Beauty the scenery is so beautiful and stunning.Very enjoyable! Reminds me of my trips where I take the good music like the Guns N Roses, Imagine Draongs or the Delta Parole and then enjoy the powerful feeling of the sea. ¡vamos!
oh what a nice pic of you two.
Thank you for the videos have learned a lot just watching
Diesels love their oil, like a sailor loves his rum. The best of Capt Ron!
Why is that Capt Ron? Capt Ron: "Nobody knows..."
So glad to hear you will be filming in Thailand again! Can't wait to see those episodes!
I appreciate detailing all the sleuthing. I have no talent in repairs but at least I'm learning something! Dude you've got the best named boat !
Brobie is now being less picky and it’s super hot.
You should consider adding a wireless water intrusion alarm in the engine bay.
It’s a good thing your good at trouble shooting and figuring things out.
Net Flicks and Chill....good for you two;)
Bobby said “the dark side is quite a sight at 11knts” lol looks like a HOG running threw deep brush. Yes Quite a sight! LOL
Who the heck gives a video like this a thumbs down???
Go Doodles! Bobby always finds Top quality eye candy to populate his videos. Thanks Bobby!
Hatteras are awesome yachts, well built specially those built in the late 1970s and 1980s. Somehow Dark Side seems to ride low in the bow displacing a ton of water. I wonder what could be done to trim her better?
That extension that was added into the rear is keeping the bow down in the water.
Maybe because this boat had a stern cockpit added so the center of weight is forward of what it was designed for???
@@andrewburnett2215 probably the stern cockpit added more stern buoyancy lifting the stern higher over the water sinking the bow.
Loved the drone footage of The Dark Side underway. Thanks for the update on the future plans.
When you pull her out. Replace all thru holes.
Replace those old bilge pumps. Buy a back up emergency, pump, that pumps thousands of gallons, and you should install small cameras in the bilge. And you need cameras, around the outside. As much as you leave the boat. Have a alarm, a d cameras you can see on your cell phone.
Great season Bobby. Good recovery considering all that happened to you personally and in the world. Cheers bud!
Flamenco Beach on Culebra is the single prettiest beach I've ever stood on.
i check in on this channel like once every 4 or 5 months maybe a little longer. When i do, there is a different girl every time and a different boat. I hope some day you can find some consistency and true love. See you in February for a different girl...
Put a gallon of Lucas oil stabilizer in each one of those Detroit’s. It will cut way down on oil consumption.
That's a nice bike. BIG BUCKS!
Great video, like the drone shots of the boat I hope you get your leak fixed, check all your sea strainers while docked.
Very beautiful for sure
Rudder post looks pretty corroded. I'd check and make sure its connected to your zinks, clean all the paint/rust off with a wire wheel and spray it with some fluid film (rust proofing spray).
She seems is a good person 👍
Keep up the good work, enjoy the rest of your trip and stay safe. From wade in Kentucky, love your videos
Jenny is a keeper !
Did I hear adding 2+ litres of oil to each engine for 10 to 12 hours running? That sounds like a lot! Very enjoyable video BTW.
Hopefully, we'll see you in Annapolis!⛵
God bless you and your family
As a man who married into a large Asian family years go, your crew is looking up.
great video and lovely scenery indeed . have fun
She sure pushes a whole lotta water, making way.
That looked like an adjustable packing gland on the rudder post. Tighten the nuts to reduce the seepage.
Great episode guys ‼️ Best wishes in your triathlon. ✨ ✌️ ✨
Great stuff! Kick butt!
Bobby Blue Balls!!!
Hope you surpass your goal in the triathlon Bobby! "Do your damn thing" Bobby. LOL! Seriously, Hope you do great!!!
Wow - triathlon Bobby! Very cool! Such a different side to you,
"Her bikini fell off" after that comment, the jump was probably the most re-watched scene in CZcams history
Great video. I glad you found the big leak
it was the rats nest of wires you cut out of the bilge, they went to the battery charger LOL
Sailing GBU has your old anchor.
The perfect crew would consist of a great boat mechanic, a doctor, a great navigator captain, and a good cook with a fun happy personality.

A diesel loves her oil like a sailor loves his rum! Lol
They could be kicking the breaker cause one of the pumps themselves has a bad seal and water is getting inside. And causing a short
B.O.A.T. Bring On Another Thousand
Good Pictures. Have nice trips. 👍
Dang.... Love the P5 and 454
Wonderful.
Please no more ads
Bobby, still killing it. Great content.
B.O.A.T. break out another thousand
Love your vids man, since day one been watching. Keep doing it Bobby! You are the man!
Loved it , many thanks.👍👏
another fun video from Bobby and co.
3:01 "It's either coming from aft forward or forward, back." Whoa, easy there Sherlock! lol. (No offense meant, love the content and I say very similar things. Just cracked me up.)
Thanks for the extra!
nice..
Since Taylor wants to Fly, I think you should let her take over Flying Doodles
Bobby, you need a crew calendar lol
I think the added stern section pushes her bow heavy, I wonder if you could step up that section, like an aircraft float. I think it would improve efficiency.
She is definitely plowing...
TIME TO GO BACK TO SAIL BOATS. LESS TROUBLE...
Not really
They are all trouble.
Cool Cervelo, have one too but not time trial one
Nice bike!
boby stop it i am jealous now..
Did you ever sound the horns when Jenny was out relaxing? That's another right of passage on The Dark Side, lol!
Love the plan, find out why we are slowly sinking!
You do realize what Netflix and Chill means right? The look on her face. 😁
😂
My thought exactly 😀😀
He’s probably smashing her too. Bobby is a machine
He heard it somewhere and thought he'd try it on for size - not realizing what it meant (or did he ??? 🤣🤣)
@@Knee-ko Bobby's living my life for me
Oh Bobby, you ole sea dog, you now have a Fox on board and her name is Jenny.🦊
If one rudder is bad you probably should do both and also check the main shafts.
Rudder glands, shaft glands, or bilge backflow siphon.
The Dark Side looks very nose-heavy...🍻👍...
Yeah... is plowing a lot of water...
Love these videos! I miss being on big boats.
