we see it

all in black and white and painted

all so recently i sit and

wonder what we seem to know

took a week off last week when i'm gazed

at the sea

remember what it looks like um and here

we are

building a cruising sale button

this week we're going to go inside do

something different the last couple of

weeks have been in this

area we're going to go inside working in

the galley area

um let's go in have a look

they've been working in in this area

this week

the galley pumps so we've got fresh

water pump

and we'll be a saltwater pump

sinks installed spouts installed pumps

are down below

um under the galley uh worktop

yeah exactly carry it down there good

freshwater pump was easy enough just a

case of assembling it

put some new seals in it

rubber seals for the end caps the actual

pump mechanism is

seal free yeah assembled out no problem

okay

yeah that should be fine

there's

[Applause]

[Applause]

so

[Applause]

oh

this is the one i'm using for the salt

water i could feel some roughness in the

bore so

i bought a honing tool a fairly cheap

honing tool

and honed the bore and then got it got

it to run smoothly and so that's now

mounted as well

just getting good

start to feel really nice

so

see what happens

oh oh blood hill that much

[Applause]

oh

yeah there's the

here's the honing taller picked up just

tone those

and the bore of that uh pump barrel it's

quite good it goes out goes out to a

good size

and it worked beautifully on that on

that bronze pump barrel

very nice i'm sure it would work on a

small motor cylinder as well

not very expensive very good

so

that wasn't much was it

all right it's looking pretty good

[Applause]

it doesn't

on this base piece here that they're

held in place by two bolts that pulled

up from under the worktop

and uh they were both broken off so to

have to drill them out and recap the

threads in there

went in as you would obviously it's a

blind hole so with him with a taper

thread

take the tap first and finish it off

with a bottoming tap

but what went smoothly enough put some

new bolts in there

fitted looking good

[Applause]

yeah sorry

that's good

[Applause]

along the way there was one other thing

i had to do and that was if you

see this rod oh it's probably not light

enough is it

if i get in here that rod there

that acts as a guide rod for the pump

that was broken and i had to uh make up

a new one

brought a bit of stainless rod to the

right diameter and uh

and a tap and a die obviously to cut the

thread on the end of it

it's quite really well

there's a little guide rod piece that

should be

right to replace that one yeah i bought

this

what is it um

oh three sixteenths bsw whitworth

316th whitworth died to cut the thread

on

on that guide rod and when it arrived

that's what it looks like which is all

very lovely

um problem is when it came i realized i

don't have a die holder that small

so i had to get a bit inventive and uh

in the end i just held it in some some

vice grips and

worked perfectly there's a handy tip

isn't it

if you haven't got a small enough die

holder fire scripts work lovely

along the way of course the spouts had

to be mounted and all sealed

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Applause]

and finally got the uh got the seats in

again all sealed in position

this is just glued in with with a two

number one eye

uh

i'm going to take that

all right just about there then

yeah that's good

so

we look down below let's see we've got

plumbing for the fresh water bump fresh

water pump is completely hooked up

plumbed into it pumped out to the spout

that's the salt water pump at the moment

is only plumbed to the spout

i've just got a new drain for this sink

just fitted that

and obviously that will run through and

into our

true design through hull that would fit

in some while back you might

might remember and jd is a good old

cleanup

there i think they're nickel bronze but

i'm not 100 sure but

i took him in the house gave him a scrub

with a one of those sort of

pot scrubbers it's a bit like blunt

swarf you know

scrub with that they can't lovely look

really good very pleased with them

so there's the pumps under the under the

galley shelf actually

um and you'll see that that's this

connection here

um i wanted to do a fairly solid

connection on that and ended up after

trying out various things in the

hardware so i ended up buying those

brass connectors there and

soldering them on to the spouts

isn't quite going is it

[Applause]

okay
