Repainting my 30yr Old ITALIAN YACHT!

1. just wanted to let you know ive seen you're comments about painting the anodes, and we will fix that up next time we are out at the boat. We were following what was done before and apparently that was the wrong way. I thought all they needed was a clean connection between the metal they were protecting but after doing research its clear they'll do better without paint on them, easy fix!

2. Buahah, amelinowe chciał pomalować xD

3. The props are hard to turn because the shaft is supported by a "water lubricated" rubber bushing. When they are dry they are very difficult to turn.

4. Please don't paint your zinc's it will stop them from working

5. Any news on the boat or when you guys will continue to work on the boat? Can't wait!

6. I recall you saying something about covering, rather than removing, the old name is bad luck…

7. why does it look like your prop shafts have dropped out a couple of inches? the really shiny bit

8. You really need help by somebody who has real experience with boats. You keep making these videos and frequently make a fool of yourself because you are so ignorant……..

9. dude, you dont paint the zinc anodes:D camoooooon

10. Hey everybody, don't paint the zink!!!!! I served on submarines during the Vietnam War.
    One of the toughest jobs during patrol prep, was crawling through the boats superstructure (turtleback), and changing out the many zink bars along the hull. They need full contact with the seawater to be effective in limiting erosion of the pressure hull.
    Glad to see you guys removed the paint from your zink anodes!

11. Man, you got a new boat! Thanks for sharing this amazing rebuild for us.
    Everything about your videos is top notch AND you seem to be a very nice, down to earth guy. So refreshing!

12. anodes… just think of a magnet in an oil pan but it's done electro-chemically in water.

13. As a car junkie, were you not tempted to try ceramic coating the boat? Or even playing around with a Plasti Dip? 😂

14. The anodes a there so the salt water would eat at that then the other metals on your boat

15. when are you getting back to the engines – I can't wait

16. My missus fell in love with ur boat interior! Looks a comfy warm place to be☺ looks like a floating motel..

17. ok a lot of comments by boaters on zinks. The mystery of the tight shaft is IMHO due to the packing in the hull penetration stuffing box there is friction there to prevent water leaking in through the penetration. After years of tightening to stop leakage it is maybe shot. I would take the time to repack the penetration while in drydock especially if you have no history on maintenance of previous owners. that packing is lubricated by slight leakage of water. no leakage = no lubrication and likely lots of friction and heat generation some stuffing boxes actually have water connections. The exterior support bearing is held in a support strut and is normally called a Cutlass bearing Lubricated with water also. Good call on the set screws

18. Better thank YouTube for that boat.

19. Beautiful boat.

20. ok so this is why you should never paint the zincs. when two types of metal are submerged in water (especially sea water) the metal dissolves and forms metal ions. these ions then attract ions from other metals near by, as the metal gives away its ions it corrodes and gets weaker. this can be counteracted by using a tird weaker metal also known as a sacrificial anode. which is, as the name suggests, used to give away its ions instead of the ions of the more important compnents such as rudders and shafts 9which need to be exposed and unpainted to minimise friction). essentially the metal ions in the water are held occupied by the weaker ions that they pull away from the weaker metal instead of pulling away at the stronger metals. painting the anodes and thus blocking the electirc bond between the sacrificial anodes and the sea water means that the metal ions will pull away at the more important meal components rather then the sacrificial ones.

    im not an expert but that is a basic overview

21. for all the engineers in the comments telling him how badly hes damaging the boat i would expect more dislikes

22. Change the bearings now. Most yards have a tool that you do not have to pull the shafts to change them. If they don't find one that does.

23. Just leave paint on the bolts for the anodes. Leave the zinc bare.

24. antifouling.
    It's called antifouling.

25. Will it continue soon?

26. Inter crystallisation. Corrosion caused by two dissimilar metals in contact with each other.

27. Your channel is facenating. YOu seem to have endless funds but you do a lot of the work yourself. Very cool. Plus Oscar FTW!

28. Its called antifouling paint under the cruiser

29. Such a beautiful boat. Looking forward to see her cruising at 40 knots. Merry Xmas from Italy.

30. Dude a news channel in Sweden are using your video’s. Is that ok ?

31. is there an update out ?

32. I am just curious, what are you going to do too offset the weight loss to keep the boat in trim/ i think the boat will be stern light and bow heavy as well as riding higher in the water . This may make the boat poor to handle as well as top heavy and prone to rolling in heavy swells.

33. Dont primer the Zink!

34. If u whant to go fast u need to polish teh proppelers to my friend 😛

35. Thought: Carly would be handy for checking out status of a car you’re looking to buy…? 🤔

36. Nothing like watching liberals and boats…
