Once you know where the steering wheel is in relationship to the rudder, simply wind a few turns of colored tape at top dead center of your wheel. That way you can tell at a glance where your rudder is... worked well on our 36' sailboat. Glad to see another video, prayers that all is well or will soon be for you!
Watching you get you boat ready for winter makes me glad I live in Queensland, Australia. Our 'winter' where I live is 2-3 weeks of cooler weather and that's it!
Hey, I was thinking, instead of using the plexiglass to cover the entire "whole" why not make a wooden frame with a smaller window in it so you can still see the cables and support the plexiglass so it doesn't crack and the shore power plug is better supported. It would also match the wood theme you are going for. Love your boat and I can't wait until spring. Good luck with all the small project until then.
Great idea with the plexiglass to see your steering angle, did you know they sell rudder angle indicator gauges? Don’t know how hard they are to install.
IT is more like amazing what you do with all your rustbuckets. Maybe you should finish the out side of All your boots before investing to much in the inside. The big bot will rust because that what xou put on the many holen eine not hold long. Good Lack to you
When drilling plastic you’ll find it very brittle. Always better to use a pilot hole and a rubber washer when screwing into plexiglass to avoid it cracking. Also use a drill specifically for plastic.
You know: The plaxiglass doesn't crack for beeing too thin - it cracks for heat movements. As it expands or substracks, Your screw holes must have enough space for the movement. Just as a hint.
You are fortunate to be on a lake and not in a saltwater environment. I often wonder how long your connections would last and if you know how to prepare for more adverse conditions. Regardless your skill and adaptability coming from a landlubber are evident and most jobs are well executed. Congratulations and well done!
Greetings from Finland. You don't need to add anything in the fuel. It works just fine after one winter as it is. I own 2 boats and don't know anyone who puts additives in their gas tanks for the winter.
A few years ago a steel boat in our habour did sunk due to ice. Something with a water-tube that broke after freezing the water inside if I remember well.
Put the little red boat on your barge its small enough and only a few blocks needed then all you have to worry about is the ole steel hual of your cabin crusier
Upstate NY here, not far from Buffalo NY and Niagara Falls. Any boat in a lake or river without a bubbler would be crushed here, I think. Ice gets pretty thick. Lake Erie freezes completely over most years. Almost all boats are yanked out and stored. If they're too large to be dragged out, they're protected with systems to prevent the ice from reaching the hull. Your film making has improved quite a bit. Your project is so far alone, compared to where you were last year at this time, and the attention to detail is inspiring, keep up the good work!
It is an extraordinary job, I would highlight the electrical installation and the water installation, but the repair of the rotten cabin with fiberglass has disappointed me.
As always an informative and well presented video ... A pleasure to watch ... You live on a lake ?.. Or is that a river ? Kind regards Alex in Victoria. Australia
Really isn’t an adequate episode for your true followers I’ve binge watched the episode collection get with it we need more content on new projects for the big boat 😡😡😡🙄🙄🙄🙄
I very much enjoy following your boat building adventures I've watched and followed you from day one so I hope you continue filming your progress and hope to see you soon. Take care be safe best wishes Stephen
Thanks for your new video. Missed them in the last weeks. Hope, you have more time working on your boat in the next months. Good luck with your "undisclosed circumstances". Stay save and healthy.
Thanks for your videos, which are quite inspireing. I myselvf own a tailer boat, and it hurts med to see you roll the trailer into the water, with the light-boom still mounted. But then i figured, you might have sealed lights on the trailer?
Just a thought, did you let the Bayliner engine warm up before circulating the winter antifreeze so the thermostat was open? If not, it won’t circulate through the engine block.
Great to see you back with more videos. I love your content and have missed not watching your videos over Christmas. I hope everything is ok and cannot wait for the next video 🚤🛥
Thats more solid than Lake Wendouree, Ballarat, Victoria, Australia m8. Never froze like that. Its only 6-7ft deep too. Thanks m8, you and yours stay safe, warm and well.
Denis, thank you for writing that in Russian - I love putting Russian speech into the translator and learning how to pronounce the words. Your comment translates vocally to: "Krassnyar rabota, preeviett in Sosha", or in English Cool work, greetings from Sochi. I love your language and the fabulous letters you use. All power to those Cyrillic chaps!!
You know when the Romans were in Germany they called it " a land of darkness and gloom". I spent 6 years in your country in the US military and your winters are not that bad compared to the winters I spent in upstate NY.
Great update. Top tip after running cables and before connecting up it is always worth doing some IR testing to ensure the cable insulation has integrity and insulation is not compromised - but good test equipment is not cheap.
Always nice to see new content. I really wonder how you will keep warm living in the boat with the steel hull and all that ice/cold water around. Seems chilly!
most people have a marker on the wheel that allows them to know where the rudder is. When you put the marker on then turn the wheel to full Port and count the markers turns, and then Starbord and do the same. Also if you have not done so not, a hydrolic steering system with a LCD monitor can asist better with ease of steering and the LCD will show the location of the rudder
At 8:12 on your video it shows the hull of your boat. I can see the drain hole is in crazy condition. You may want to update that and of course remove it while the boat is in storage. Additionally, would those rear trailer beds work better if they ran front to rear rather than left to right? In its current layout all the pressure/support are on two contact points rather than the full bed plate. It may not mean much while the boat is just resting on the trailer but one good bump while travelling is going to exert a lot of pressure on those two points.
Hallo, schön das du mal wieder ein Video hoch geladen hast. Ich bewundere wirklich was du da baust. Also bleib dran. Ich drücke dir die Daumen. Grüße Rainer
I wondered what had happened, glad you are back!

Best wishes on a new year
A proper icebreaker would fit quite good into your boat collection! :D
Yippee he's back.(even if just for a short time). Missed these videos. I love them.
Can't wait for spring.

Good plan!
@David Abercrombie You don’t happen to be from Alabama do you? Your name sounds very familiar.
Never seen a boat loaded like that before I always drove on
Happy New Year! Glad to see you back on the water!
Great idea with the plexiglass to see your steering angle, did you know they sell rudder angle indicator gauges? Don’t know how hard they are to install.
a tip from Italy, do not use plexiglass, as you have seen it can be broken, but use a polycarbonate panel
... Cheers to you ...

IM SOOOO GLAD I LIVE IN FLORIDA!!! 😂🤣
Danke für deine Videos. Hoffe bei dir dreht sich alles rund und take good care. bis bald aus Frankreich
A steel hulled boat won't get crushed by that little ice. A fibre glass hulled boat on the other hand, may well do.
Abracos do Brasil p vc amigo !
Put the little red boat on your barge its small enough and only a few blocks needed then all you have to worry about is the ole steel hual of your cabin crusier
Seen a lot of boats with a leather or small rope wrap placed at the top of the wheel signifying the neutral position of the rudder.

sehr schöne videos die du da machst , da hat sich jemand ein abo verdient , freue mich auf neues 😉👍
Hope everything is OK 👍 like your vlogs
It is an extraordinary job, I would highlight the electrical installation and the water installation, but the repair of the rotten cabin with fiberglass has disappointed me.
Nice greek music..... you must have been freezing getting the boat on the trailer
Hej jag har väntat på att få se ett nytt avsnitt från dig god fortsättning på det nya året
7:36 funny haha
Love watching your videos but I’m pretty sure you don’t add water to the antifreeze when putting in winter storage
Next video: rebuilding my 1980s ice breaker ship 😂
As always an informative and well presented video ... A pleasure to watch ... You live on a lake ?.. Or is that a river ? Kind regards Alex in Victoria. Australia
🥶🥶🥶🥶 stay warm :)
When are you posting the next video??
What part to the word is
Finally
Really isn’t an adequate episode for your true followers I’ve binge watched the episode collection get with it we need more content on new projects for the big boat 😡😡😡🙄🙄🙄🙄
I hope everything is ok with you, glad your back. Thank you.
Great to see you back again...and take good care of yourself and your growing fleet.
Ohhh been waiting good to see you back!
Good to hear from you. Until next time my friend
I very much enjoy following your boat building adventures I've watched and followed you from day one so I hope you continue filming your progress and hope to see you soon.
Take care be safe best wishes Stephen
That's the same thing I was thinking to write. It is a very pleasant to watch and hear the narration of everything he does. See you soon!
Thanks for your new video. Missed them in the last weeks. Hope, you have more time working on your boat in the next months. Good luck with your "undisclosed circumstances". Stay save and healthy.
why use such ugly plexiglass, when just a little tape on the rudderwheel is a much nicer option?
Hope everything is well with you, but now you have us curious!! 🙂
5:15 the insulation is broken on the neutral
Happy to see you back and hope that everything is fine for you...
We have missed you, welcome back
Your videos are great, there an inspiration, they show you that you don't need 'waffle' to make informative and interesting video.
Your flashing light might be indicating that the wires are plug on the wrong polarity!
Good to see you back did you notice you cut your Blue wire on your shore connection cable the New Cable at time stamp 05:15..
You must have taken hundreds of hours to create this film. It is beautiful. Danke, tak & cheers mate
Good to see you back been missing your vids 👍🏼
Stay well my friend, we will be waiting for new content when ever you have time.
Thanks for your videos, which are quite inspireing. I myselvf own a tailer boat, and it hurts med to see you roll the trailer into the water, with the light-boom still mounted.
But then i figured, you might have sealed lights on the trailer?
Very happy to see you are back. Can't wait to see what's next 👍
Just a thought, did you let the Bayliner engine warm up before circulating the winter antifreeze so the thermostat was open? If not, it won’t circulate through the engine block.
Thanks I was missing your adventures.
1 of 5 channels, I wait for.
*_ Thought you'd sank to the depths..... Just kidding, Welcome back! _*
Good to see you back, missed your videos.
Great to see you back with more videos. I love your content and have missed not watching your videos over Christmas. I hope everything is ok and cannot wait for the next video 🚤🛥
Thats more solid than Lake Wendouree, Ballarat, Victoria, Australia m8. Never froze like that. Its only 6-7ft deep too. Thanks m8, you and yours stay safe, warm and well.
Yes, good you are back 👍
Dude! Ya put a tape marker on the top center of the pilot wheel!! Then ya know your center. Center the rudder first.
Good to see you back, have a safe and sound winter!
Классная работа , привет из Сочи !!!

8:13 😂😂😂😂😂😂🙄Ratanplan 😆 (now that brings some memories back) good to see you back my 4leged friend 😊👍🏼
Love your project! You should consider getting yourself a floating key chain for your ignition key….just in case!
Great update. Top tip after running cables and before connecting up it is always worth doing some IR testing to ensure the cable insulation has integrity and insulation is not compromised - but good test equipment is not cheap.
Blessing my brother keep up the great work 👍 🙌 💪 💯🇯🇲
great to see you back for 2022,hope all goes well in the future,love your vids please keep them coming

I was really looking out to a new video, great to see you back at it man!
Well I only just found Out that YT in its wisdom had UNSUBBED me from following you. I had thought you just stopped making videos.
I got a question ..from a long term subber .....how warm is the boat in general compared to last year ? Are you Individually warming compartments?
Morris was the man who drew Lucky Luke, the dog's name was Rataplan. Not ratanplan.
Wait... Water freezes??? Concerned Australian here...
Stay warm....I'll be waiting for your next video
At 8:12 on your video it shows the hull of your boat.

great use of music
Hello. Need your help. I want to buy a similar boat. I live in Russia myself. How to contact you?
And a early spring dreams to you................................
The AC error you were seeing is perhaps due to the Generator not producing a full sine wave. This can damage some electronics.
Look on the brightside, If you drop a screw overboard you can just pick it back up!
Long time between drinks😀
Waiting for another clog to drop😃
You really need to check into the red light issue. Just because it works does not mean that it's installed correctly.
Hallo, schön das du mal wieder ein Video hoch geladen hast. Ich bewundere wirklich was du da baust. Also bleib dran. Ich drücke dir die Daumen. Grüße Rainer
I really enjoy your videos and story! Thank you!
Take care of yourself and family
That water got frozen is too dramatic for me :(
I was wondering how u were doing with yer boat.
