 This morning, I want to replace the bearings in the back of this boat here right back here there's a roller bearing that I made and This part here is actually the outer part of the bearing then the inner part of the bearing is the pipe the propeller shaft Good shape. That's a good thing rust whatever And then there are all these plastic rollers inside here and I want to replace them because a little bit loose Okay, maybe they're not that loose, but they are a little bit loose. Oh, you can see them just there and They're also not made out of the best material because when I originally made this bearing I wasn't sure how it's gonna work out and I didn't want to use Something really good. So I use some plastic from some old garbage table And the other thing is I lost one of the bearings. Well one of the rollers, I mean so Yeah, there's a space which I'm sure is contributing to some vibration Looks like it's generally in pretty good shape though. I Could just replace that one bearing I don't know. I think I want to replace them all though because I can make them out of some nicer material Well, let me just pull them out and see how they look if I remember correctly the propeller is on there pretty tight So it's gonna be easier to Undo This bolt and just push the shaft down a little bit Okay, screwdriver should keep the whole shaft from falling out All right rollers Muddy down here. You know, these look like they're in pretty good shape This one's got a chunk out of it there. This one's got a piece cracked off Well, the rest look pretty good It's missing a little bit. Yeah, maybe it wouldn't hurt to replace them all One thing I did notice when I was just out there was how snug it all fit It wasn't originally that snug fitting of a bearing however, I recently changed the propeller shaft and The one I put in was slightly bigger than the one I took out So I guess that took up the slack and made the bearing snug so These guys do fit really well now I'm definitely missing one. I think I might have been missing two when I was looking at it So I want to make two more Then are here That's like almost exactly Two and a half tenths of an inch two and a half tenths of a noodle unit Don't ask me why this is inches Or why it's tenths of inches. I don't know This here is much nicer material than this crappy old stuff, which has actually done a decent job So I'm going to start cutting if I cut carefully I should be able to get Two out of that Okay, two four six eight ten twelve fourteen sixteen That'll be one extra a lot of room to spare but I should be able to Get the rollers out of these as long as I'm careful don't make any mistakes Well, I can make one mistake because I have one extra I know a square piece and a three jaw chuck is not ideal My work doesn't look terrible. Oh, I think this is the last one Except now I have to cut them all to length right Except the first one I did Wow, that was tedious. I think I was in there for like Two or three hours just lading those little things Oh, okay, let's get them in place. I got all 15 in there I kind of want to get a look from down there. I can't get my head down there. So I'm going to just use The camera all the spaces are full up and it looks about right All right, I'm pretending I'm looking at this screen when I'm actually obviously looking at the camera But that's what I said a minute ago. I just reviewed the video. Yeah looks like uh Looks like all the spaces are taken up by rollers So I can pull it up connected to the motor Should be good Okay, this next part I have to be careful I want to yank it up quick Because I don't want any of the rollers to have a chance to fall out It's doesn't move in this All right screwdriver. Just hold that together for a second Make sure no The rollers fell out. Oh looks like they're all in there. All right propeller blades Keeps things cool. Let's turn this on low power. That was just a solar panel. Let me give it A little bit more beauty sounds great. Oh now. I just need to take it out for a test Well, let's put the solar panel switch on first even though there's no sun right now Well, it does sound a little different. There's no rattling anymore. That's good Oh, yeah, there's no rattling at all. Hopefully this is like that Let's go a little faster. I guess when I Retightened the motor. It was just a little bit alignment Quick pit stop to pick up some foods and chicken yucca tomato stuff and a piece of cheese Well, I'm gonna have a tasty dinner tonight Time to go home
