Motorschaden beim zu Wasser lassen [ #41]

Hello Yes welcome to a new episode of Sailing Benko One of the most exciting episodes at least for us hopefully Hopefully also for you Yes of course for you too We are going into the water in a few days And we are incredibly excited nervous and scared It really all comes together like this Emotional chaos Emotional chaos exactly And we arrived here a few days earlier because we still need to prepare some things You saw it in the last video where we already sanded a page That means we will now sand the other side the keel as well There are still a few other small things that need to be prepared before we go into the water Then great everything works the boat is watertight the engine works We will find out everything together with you then But we're not alone this weekend We've brought strong support In the form of Hello I'm also in Yes very good Steffi's sister is helping us again That makes us very happy And we are going to start the sanding work right away Let's go Yes you can already see me next to our keel We spent the whole day yesterday sanding down the underwater hull That was a tremendous job Every muscle aches and I'm really glad the girls helped out That really made a big difference And why did we do all of this Simply because when you paint Coppercoat it's all that is this copper It is enclosed in epoxy which later causes the anti-fouling effect That means you paint it on If one were to simply walk into the water only epoxy would come out and there would be no anti-fouling effect at all This means that everything must be sanded once to activate the copper And in the end it has various stages Actually this area here is quite good what we have done here That means a lot a very lot of copper you can see it it's slightly shiny it comes ou Thus there is a good anti-fouling effect Of course there are still places on the boat because it was very exhausting yesterday and we also haven't reached every spot where there's a little more epoxy That means we still have to do a bit more work today we'll do it right away And I'll also attach the victim anode right away Yes the first victim anode is up Here you can also see we still need to do a bit more grinding on the copper coat We will do that right away But a victim node generally for those who don't know we install at the boat Simply because she sacrifices herself before the main material is attacked We might still remember from our chemistry class that when we put different metals into water Then they attack each other and the least noble metal is dissolved first These are magnesium or zinc anodes These are very non-noble metals which means they get corroded Even if there are electric currents in the water or anything else that could attack the hull Then it goes to the sacrificial anodes And we will now distribute them around the ship and to the helm They also need to be regularly replaced Every season or every two years depending on how much is going on You can just check in on how they're doing down there And this is what it looks like These are poor pigs They are only there to sacrifice themselves Finally we're done with the damn paperwork Sorry but I have to say it but it's really been annoying It would be a lie if I said this was fun But we're done And it's always nice when you've accomplished something And that was also hopefully for the time being something with the loop Now we'll take care of things a bit or prepare a bit tomorrow on the water And here I have our mooring line And that is a total of 44 meters We will now cut it into pieces Because we want to divide it into two 16-meter sections and two 6-meter sections And exactly that's where we'll now get back to the thawing with heat and check if everything works As a small trick or perhaps many of you already know it we always cut the lines this way We just use a piece of tape to mark where we want to cut Then simply cut through here with a cutter or a knife Then it is sealed with heat at the back That's why we do it this way because if you just cut through here They would quickly start fraying and you would actually have no chance of getting a nice finish So always stick a piece of tape on it Hey guys it's finally here Today is the day we get launched into the water We've already prepared the boat as much as possible I had the fenders out and the mooring lines ready and I was as nervous as I've ever been in my life Truly this is a huge moment Steffi is just downstairs and is just clearing away the last things But I tell you I'm crossing my fingers so hard that everything works everything is tight and the engine starts and that we will then also safely get into the box where we will be for the next half year We will actually be going to the neighboring marina for half a year And there make a few small returns some repair work and just in the water because there are a few things which you can do better in the water We just took it upon ourselves to do that The mechanic was also here a few weeks ago overhauled the engine as much as possible and it's actually pretty okay now Except for one thing he looked at the transmission and said that with the transmission he doesn't give it much longer to live That means we will probably go back into the water again in March next year and have the transmission repaired a bit This is somehow still uncertain For now it's probably okay for the next few months everything is cool But when we go on a big trip we don't want to take any risks and I want to look at that again for sure or have it repaired And yes that's how we're now nervously waiting for our appointment to get it straightened out and see how it goes I am very curious how everything will now take place I can't believe it today we're going into the water I hope everything works out Now the nervousness is slowly rising but we'll manage We also have active support from my sister Also that will certainly all work out Hey guys not so good news You see it it's in the water Good news it seems to be tight as well Now no water is getting in which is good it's floating The problem is the engine and that's really super shitty I was really glad we had the mechanic here again for the water And also told me to take another look at it when we start it up and so on And it just broke down the water pump The engine is cooled by seawater and there is a pump that pumps the whole thing in She just lost her spirit for whatever reason That means it has to be replaced and then there are still about three or four hoses They don't look quite good and a few things that still need to be changed This means our actual plan to now go to Kapo Nord and to our water mooring is not possible Because if we turn on the engine it overheats which is not a good situation Therefore they will now haul us up here and let us rest briefly at the water landing place So that they can carry out the repairs next week and then it will work Also of course cool that we are now in the water which also pleases me Another thing is really annoying because again something isn't working and it gets on your nerves in the long run Because whenever you try to do something big something always goes wrong and it would be really cool if everything worked once But I also know that we are not alone with this everyone has the same problems And even everyone we follow everyone we talk to it's always such a hassle you just hate it It's still annoying because it was a big moment for us to launch it now Emotional and really crazy and now it's just not going quite as we had imagined But fortunately it's not a total loss which means everything is repairable hopefully and then we'll see from here how it goes Phew today feels like three days crammed into one Yes we are now in the water were moved again because of the engine problem we could not maneuver ourselves and then a small boat was pulled out of the box here into the harbor He drove a little round with us and then actually just shoved us into the gap here and now we're securely fastened and now I think we just have to stay here for a while So take it easy it was really a lot today just a lot has happened That was really emotional everything and exactly now we're just curious to see what happens next so hopefully the mechanic will come in the next few days Then we'll see what he or she can help us with on short notice Good morning everyone you can see we've made ourselves a bit comfortable here on board The first night is behind us we have slept in the water again and you can tell the mood is a little better than yesterday We have gotten over the initial shock and fortunately everything is fixable so we really enjoyed it that we can lie in the water today And now here in the sunshine with a view of the harbor we can enjoy our breakfast that's already something special and even on the way to the supermarket Steffi and I both said how incredible a different feeling it is When you are in the water it no longer feels like a construction site but much more like the boat and yes it's simply wonderful We are filling up our water tanks today or rather cleaning them We actually got an additional activated carbon filter because the water here is already okay but better safe than sorry We filter this once and then we are twice sure that no bacteria get into the tanks for this we use this Puratank here I ordered the whole thing just now through Amazon I read a bit about it there and also Jachtikon really has cleaning products for everything But it had a very good rating and therefore I felt the best there I have now taken it and exactly with this we will now fill the tanks Then add water and let it sit for 24 hours until everything is nice and clean Then finally yes exactly we have to drain it and then refill it with new water Yes it's really crazy how much goes into the tank or the two tanks We have been sitting here for almost half an hour and they keep checking if everything is sealed but it is We are still waiting we are now rinsing so we have now completely drained the tank or both tanks the water Then again now they will be filled again and then drained again Then that should actually be enough Yes Bora has arrived it's blowing strongly today but the weather is superb Yes we'really done now this weekend or this extended weekend so much has happened and yes really cool that we're in the water Even though we still have the issue with the engine I hope that will pass quickly too Yes then we hope you enjoyed the video again like it and
