I find it far more exciting turning the boat upside down each time I’m looking for something there’s are always little treasures you find that you had originally forgotten about. But you do have a good system well played my good man

Hi Dom – In my Grey Funnel Line days we used to keep a lot of our rubber based products in a dusting of French chalk. Great for many reasons but will extend the life of rubber significantly. Might not have a huge impact if rotating impeller every 12M but worth to keep in the knowledge in the back pocket. Also keep rubber away from chemical products like you had in B2. They can release "volatiles" which will also impact rubber in storage. Great to see a 5S covert!!!

I learned quite a bit, very interesting. The only suggestion I would make is to write the date on the boxes just incase one ot more of the spares is worth keeping.

Hiya Cadoha,
Nice video; thank you both. I used to run a small fleet of generators mounted on trucks. 5 Perkins, 1 Penta and 2 Cummins marine engines on various Bedford, Layland and an artic trailer. Different Ford trucks for transporting the lighting equipment.
A diesel engine needs air and derv to run. Remove or constrict either, and you will have problems. Always carry extra fuel and air filters; you may never need them, but if you do and don't have them...
Other replaceable parts support this combustion, like the impeller. I would not count one spare as sufficient; at least two additions, preferably three. You may need to give a reserve to another yacht in distress. Belts, at least two extras. Sometimes faulty manufacture will cause the failure of the part after an annoyingly short amount of time. It does happen. A spare alternator and starter motor may be a good idea too. Yes, they fail, and if you don't notice a lack of charging...
Keep on with the very informative films, please.
Stay safe, Steve...

You still have garden hoses connecting the engine sw pump to the filter, please replace that with proper class approved marine rubberhose, an overheated pump will melt the garden hose etc…

Just after I bought our boat we had a cooling problem, long story short the heat exchanger inlet was full old bits of impeller.
Tip – Fit a course strainer downstream of the water pump just in case the impeller falls apart. A very cheap preventative measure (and impeller anxiety) . I used to work on (very) big marine engines and this was the norm.

I noticed when you removed the impeller cover that some of the rubber blades were facing different directions. When installing a new impeller it is better, if not required the all rubber blades should be facing the same direction for most efficient operation. Use a water tolerant lubricant to lubricate the blades and the inside of the pump housing and turn the impeller the correct direction until all of the blades are cooperation and facing the same direction prior to pushing it deep into the housing. More water is better.

"How rude." that the instructions are not in English? What century were you born in, Dom?
