00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.700
John: Well hello Richard!
2
00:00:01.700 --> 00:00:03.100
Richard: Hey John thanks for having me back.
3
00:00:03.100 --> 00:00:04.900
John: Aw man, it is my pleasure. You know I was
4
00:00:04.900 --> 00:00:07.100
speaking with Jeff Lichterman, the owner
5
00:00:07.100 --> 00:00:09.100
over at Albury Brothers boats.
6
00:00:09.100 --> 00:00:11.100
And he was telling me that the
7
00:00:11.100 --> 00:00:13.500
majority of the deck hardware and the lights
8
00:00:13.500 --> 00:00:15.500
is Perko. And I figured you know, what the heck.
9
00:00:15.500 --> 00:00:17.500
Let's bring the expert, the true expert - you,
10
00:00:17.500 --> 00:00:19.500
on to the program to talk a
11
00:00:19.500 --> 00:00:21.500
little bit about these two different categories.
12
00:00:21.500 --> 00:00:23.500
But I see that we have some different cleats
13
00:00:23.500 --> 00:00:25.500
here on the table.
14
00:00:25.500 --> 00:00:27.500
These you might be familiar with.
15
00:00:27.500 --> 00:00:29.500
These are put out by a company called
16
00:00:29.500 --> 00:00:31.500
Accon Marine, and these are the
17
00:00:31.500 --> 00:00:33.500
pop up cleats. We've installed these
18
00:00:33.500 --> 00:00:35.500
before on the program. On our
19
00:00:35.500 --> 00:00:38.000
21 foot Seabird project boat,
20
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:39.100
and that worked out well.
21
00:00:39.100 --> 00:00:41.100
But the lines of the Albury
22
00:00:41.100 --> 00:00:43.100
Brothers boat and just the style of
23
00:00:43.100 --> 00:00:45.100
the boat doesn't really...
24
00:00:45.100 --> 00:00:47.100
...kinda, you know
25
00:00:47.100 --> 00:00:49.100
go that way, with me, personally.
26
00:00:49.100 --> 00:00:51.100
I like the traditional look
27
00:00:51.100 --> 00:00:53.100
and you guys are making some beautiful
28
00:00:53.100 --> 00:00:55.400
cleats here. What are some of the different,
29
00:00:55.400 --> 00:00:57.700
first off, materials -
30
00:00:57.700 --> 00:00:59.400
that you're using for cleats.
31
00:00:59.400 --> 00:01:01.400
And then let's talk about sizes
32
00:01:01.400 --> 00:01:03.700
and kind of how you kind of size up a cleat to your boat.
33
00:01:03.700 --> 00:01:05.700
Richard: John we have cleats in three different types
34
00:01:05.700 --> 00:01:07.700
of materials that are either aluminum,
35
00:01:07.700 --> 00:01:09.700
chrome plated, chrome plated bronze
36
00:01:09.700 --> 00:01:10.700
or chrome plated zinc.
37
00:01:10.700 --> 00:01:12.700
John: Okay now I'm going to be boating
38
00:01:13.500 --> 00:01:15.700
you know, most of the time in salt water.
39
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:18.500
Does one particular alloy
40
00:01:18.500 --> 00:01:20.300
kind of uh,
41
00:01:20.300 --> 00:01:22.300
lend itself a little bit better to salt water or
42
00:01:22.300 --> 00:01:24.300
are they all for salt water and fresh water?
43
00:01:24.300 --> 00:01:26.900
Richard: They're generally for all types of environments.
44
00:01:26.900 --> 00:01:28.900
The chrome plated bronze will hold up
45
00:01:28.900 --> 00:01:30.900
a little bit better, but there also
46
00:01:30.900 --> 00:01:32.400
going to be a little bit more expensive.
47
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:34.400
John: This is a 23 foot boat.
48
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:36.400
What size cleats
49
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:38.400
are on this
50
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:40.400
pretty heavy 23 foot boat?
51
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:42.400
Richard: Albury brothers is actually using all
52
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:44.100
three of these that you see here.
53
00:01:44.100 --> 00:01:46.100
They're using the six inch cleat for their
54
00:01:46.100 --> 00:01:47.600
mid-ships for their spring line.
55
00:01:47.600 --> 00:01:49.200
They're using the eight inch cleat for their
56
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:51.200
stern and combination for the hawse hole plate.
57
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:52.700
And the 10 inch cleat on their bow.
58
00:01:52.700 --> 00:01:54.700
John: Okay now this is a
59
00:01:54.700 --> 00:01:56.700
hawse hole or hawse pipe.
60
00:01:56.700 --> 00:01:58.700
Your dock line goes down
61
00:01:58.700 --> 00:02:00.700
through the hawse - okay,
62
00:02:00.700 --> 00:02:02.600
and it goes to the cleat.
63
00:02:02.600 --> 00:02:04.600
And this is usually in the stern
64
00:02:04.600 --> 00:02:06.600
of the boat. And,
65
00:02:06.600 --> 00:02:08.600
it's a very clean way
66
00:02:08.600 --> 00:02:09.600
to tie up the boat.
67
00:02:09.600 --> 00:02:10.300
Richard: Correct.
68
00:02:10.300 --> 00:02:12.700
John: Let's talk about navigation lights
69
00:02:12.700 --> 00:02:15.000
and before we begin what are these here?
70
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:17.000
Richard: John these are stern light mounting bases.
71
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:19.000
And they range in a variety of
72
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:21.000
styles for different poles
73
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:22.900
that are out on the market. Ones with threaded
74
00:02:22.900 --> 00:02:24.900
collars vs eccentric collars and it also
75
00:02:24.900 --> 00:02:26.900
depends upon the rake. But what's unique is we've come out
76
00:02:26.900 --> 00:02:28.900
with a new product. This happens to be
77
00:02:28.900 --> 00:02:30.900
an LED white all-round. But
78
00:02:30.900 --> 00:02:32.600
it has an adjustable head,
79
00:02:32.600 --> 00:02:35.400
that it really doesn't matter what the angle of the base is for you.
80
00:02:36.100 --> 00:02:38.400
The pole also includes dual collars,
81
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:40.400
so it also doesn't matter which base
82
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:42.400
you have. So whichever base you have you throw out
83
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:44.400
the collar you don't need and...voilà!
84
00:02:44.600 --> 00:02:46.600
John: At the head, kind of when I was
85
00:02:46.600 --> 00:02:48.600
introducing you to everybody, I saw
86
00:02:48.600 --> 00:02:50.600
that you were setting these down
87
00:02:50.600 --> 00:02:52.400
on the display table.
88
00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:54.400
These are step pads
89
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:56.200
but they're special.
90
00:02:56.200 --> 00:02:57.200
Talk a little about this.
91
00:02:57.200 --> 00:02:59.000
Richard: This is traditional step plate that we
92
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:01.000
manufacturer but we made an alteration to it to
93
00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:03.000
include a little LED to illuminate
94
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:04.600
the step plate at night.
95
00:03:04.600 --> 00:03:05.800
John: This is a light right here.
96
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:06.600
Richard: Correct.
97
00:03:06.600 --> 00:03:08.400
John: Let's talk about courtesy lights
98
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:10.500
and you guys have come up with something really clever.
99
00:03:10.500 --> 00:03:11.300
I want to show everybody that.
100
00:03:11.300 --> 00:03:13.300
Richard: This is a traditional courtesy mount light
101
00:03:13.300 --> 00:03:15.100
for the deck.
102
00:03:15.100 --> 00:03:17.100
What you're talking about is this light
103
00:03:17.100 --> 00:03:19.100
here which this mounts on a center console.
104
00:03:19.100 --> 00:03:21.100
And it's a standard courtesy light.
105
00:03:21.100 --> 00:03:23.500
If you turn it over, it has clear back to it.
106
00:03:23.500 --> 00:03:25.500
And that also will illuminate the
107
00:03:25.500 --> 00:03:27.500
inside of the center console at the same time
108
00:03:27.500 --> 00:03:28.400
off of one one light.
109
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:30.100
John: You've got to be kidding me!
110
00:03:30.100 --> 00:03:31.600
So I don't have to run two lights?
111
00:03:31.600 --> 00:03:32.100
Richard: No.
112
00:03:32.100 --> 00:03:34.500
John: Okay or draw on my battery with two different sources,
113
00:03:34.500 --> 00:03:36.300
we can do it all through one light.
114
00:03:36.300 --> 00:03:37.800
Man that is a great idea!
115
00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:39.800
Oh I see that we have some fills,
116
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:43.000
and wow these are really sharp! Is this new?
117
00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:45.000
Richard: Yes. These are new color coded versions.
118
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:47.800
And we're filling an international standard
119
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:50.000
that says red is gas,
120
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:51.000
green is diesel,
121
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:52.700
blue is water and black is waste.
122
00:03:52.700 --> 00:03:55.900
So it helps better identify which fill is on what part of the boat.
123
00:03:55.900 --> 00:03:57.700
John: Now there are traditional fills
124
00:03:57.700 --> 00:04:00.200
and there is also vented fills.
125
00:04:00.200 --> 00:04:02.500
And, I've been doing a lot of research,
126
00:04:02.500 --> 00:04:04.700
and I'm really kind of leaning
127
00:04:04.700 --> 00:04:06.700
towards one of those vented fills. Because
128
00:04:06.700 --> 00:04:08.700
it's real cool for the environment and I am
129
00:04:08.700 --> 00:04:09.700
an environmental guy.
130
00:04:09.700 --> 00:04:12.200
Richard: There are a lot more environmentally friendly.
131
00:04:12.200 --> 00:04:14.200
This is a sample of one of the vented fills.
132
00:04:14.200 --> 00:04:15.800
John: This would fill the fuel tank,
133
00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:19.000
this would be your vent. It comes right back into the cap.
134
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:19.500
Richard: Correct.
135
00:04:19.500 --> 00:04:21.500
John: What is this right here?
136
00:04:21.500 --> 00:04:23.500
Richard: That's an accessory mounting ring that helps
137
00:04:23.500 --> 00:04:25.500
raise the fuel fill off the deck.
138
00:04:25.500 --> 00:04:28.400
So that it prevents water intrusion into the system.
139
00:04:28.400 --> 00:04:29.900
John: Aw man that's a great idea.
140
00:04:29.900 --> 00:04:32.300
I'm going to definitely use that.
141
00:04:32.300 --> 00:04:34.300
Hey Richard! What I want to do,
142
00:04:34.300 --> 00:04:36.600
is right now I want to take a quick time out. Okay?
143
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:38.600
But when we come back I want to move down to
144
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:40.400
your place. Down in Miami, Florida.
145
00:04:40.400 --> 00:04:42.400
I'd like to try to get Wolf Hennig back on
146
00:04:42.400 --> 00:04:44.400
the program. And maybe he could
147
00:04:44.400 --> 00:04:46.400
show me how you're making these
148
00:04:46.400 --> 00:04:48.000
fuel fills. I'd think it would be pretty cool.
149
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:49.700
Richard: I'm sure he'll be more than glad to help you out.
150
00:04:49.700 --> 00:04:51.100
John: Awesome! Hey, we'll be right back.
151
00:04:51.100 --> 00:04:52.200
Richard: Thank you very much John.
152
00:04:52.200 --> 00:04:52.800
(table saw)
153
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:54.800
Narrator: Don't cut out! The tool shed here at
154
00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:56.800
Ship Shape TV is just getting open!
155
00:04:56.800 --> 00:04:58.800
We'll be right back!
