E08 Haul Out Part 2 of 3 - Cutlass bearing, dripless shaft seal and prop polishing
Join us weekly for more boat restoration fun!
Favourite tool of the day - the hammer.
In this episode we remove the propshaft so that we can change the shaft seal to a more modern dripless system. So we had to figure out how to remove a prop and the the propshaft, which involved a lesson in patience removing some rusty bolts.
And in the process we decided the cutlass bearing should be changed. It made sense as we were already out of the water and the propshaft already removed. So then we had to figure out how to remove the cutlass bearing, and how to replace it.
Then we finished with some glorious prop sanding and polishing. I was particularly proud of the finished result.
Sailing Nendaz
We're the Hansons, made up of Flick, Joe and Walter, and we're inviting you to transition with us from our safe, steady, land-based life to a totally new adventure on the high seas aboard our Gib'Sea 402 blue water sailing boat Nendaz. Nendaz is named after a small town in the mountains in Switzerland, one close to our hearts, an ode to our love for the mountains that we can bring with us on our journey across the seas. We're steadily upgrading the boat from a weekend boat to a full-time live aboard and trying to do as much as possible ourselves. Watch as we become mechanics, plumbers, engineers, electricians, carpenters, and finally untie the lines and then the real adventure begins! We post weekly videos every Friday. We're hoping to use this channel to document our adventure and perhaps along the way we might make it all seem a little more attainable for others of you who are craving something a little different from your lives. #liveaboard #sailing #sailingcouple
