- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 พ.ค. 2021
- Having recently installed our new Raymarine Autopilot we now head north of Port Stephens to visit my friend Nick up in Forster - Tuncurry. We get moderate seas on the way up and do our first night arrival at an anchorage requiring us to use our radar.

It is fabulous seeing you cruising and enjoying the boat.
Thanks Dennis.
Loved the old videos and even the refurbishment of the boat
Lately not so much
That's okay, you don't need to watch.
@@DangarMarine I don't anymore
Good luck
Thanks again mate....As always cheers all around...!
Cheers!
Australia looks better than ever.
Like the tour of these places I will never get to see. Have a safe trip. Looking forward to more tips and tricks of working on outboard engines when you return. Your outboard videos have saved me time and money on repairs. Thanks Stu.
Thanks again Stu for taking us with you.
My pleasure
Very impressed with Raymarine kit.
Me too. Learnt a lot of new things about using it at the boat show. Will do a tips video soon.
How can you not like those ole putt putt engines. As a child I remember going out fishing with my father in an ole Dory with an ole putt putt Acadia 3hp engine, those were the days. so memorable I'd do anything to do that again, miss my father very much! he passed in 92.
Red spot boat hire, Forster!
How wonderful being back out at sea. Noisy little boat isn't she ? Excellent auto pilot features.
It is nice being offshore again.
Thanks for giving us an update of your journey & equipment on boat functioning!😀👍
keep them coming Stu, its my working day relief
Thanks John, hope you enjoyed. 😊
Stu
Loved the green finger masher. Kathryn has 2 maytag motors way smaller than that.
On a side note, she has a incubator now and her hens want to send some babies to help the D squad.
🐣🐣🐤🐔
When I get back we might expand the brood. 😊
Great update, remember the most important part of the voyage, Have Some Fun, Jeff in LA USA
Will do, thanks Jeff! :)
great video stu like the marine engines of your friend as an ex marine diesel fitter it brings back memories
Super excellent Stu🙌🏻
Awesome video Stu! Safe travels home. Surprised and happy daffy and daphne? got in the show even though you are away. God Bless.
Thanks Mike. It was nice of Martin to send me some footage from home. :)
I went to forster & tuncurry for my holidays a few years ago when the tide went out wee islands appeared & the wee boat going around selling ice cream lovely place best fish n chips I've had a fish called a leather jacket 👍from 🏴
Glad to hear you enjoyed your visit. :)
Hahaha Stu and birds ~ too funny
Love all your Videos ! it does not matter what you are doing ind them they are always amusing to watch !
I appreciate that!
Hi Stu,
It was great seeing you at the boat show the other day and I am sorry I forgot to bring you your glad wrap safety shoes.
That’s okay mate, I’ve still got a couple of pairs onboard. ;) great to meet you too!
White pelicans are gorgeous.
Yes to vlog style. Why not change up the format a bit to match your current activities? If it turns out that you don't like the new content, you can always go back to "old style". I'm enjoying going along for the ride!
Exactly, nothing is permanent, just an experiment.
Loving this take us along tour
@@DangarMarine have you thought of changing out that trawling prop for one that give you better cruise speeds if you planning on going long trip like this? Save fuel and get there a bit faster.
Thanks Stu
safe travels. Ocean travel is so amazing. there is so much to watch and pay attention to. take care
More videos? Wonderful idea!
Be great to have have more vids Stu cheers ,shaneo, nelson nz
I don't miss those bar crossings! Nice vid again thanks mate, enjoy
Great video captain 👍🏾
Thanks mate.
Glad to see that you got Bill sorted out after the first part of the video.
Poor Bill gets knocked around by the new chair. Needs somewhere else to live now.
More frequent gets a thumbs up from me Stu - a livestream from the Wheelhouse roof with the waves, the sky, the clouds and the purr of the Detroit is good enough for me.
I really should do more livestreams.
I don't know you've changed your lifestyles Stu but you sure look healthy these days!
The push to get ready to go was pretty brutal, definitely getting more rest now I’m the trip.
The Lister is awesome. Love seeing those old engines still running.
It is a very cool old engine. :)
There’s never a dull moment in your videos thanks for taking us along!
Hey there again from the Oil Patch in Central WY, USA!
When it comes to memory, videos, and post production work, I HIGHLY recommend having just a small tablet (7" will do) with a Voice to Text app on while you're filming for a Running Audio Context Recording. The small tablet can be secured to you via sling, clip, etc.
However, if that is too cumbersome for you, a small digital Voice Recorder works wonders: they can be as small as a Bic Lighter, or about the size of a Credit Card: models can be 'self contained' (ie, a fixed Gb size), or they can have a Micro SD (xD) slot for easy peasy swap out and Gb size modulation. Both styles can come with either a Micro USB C port OR a standard USB porting for Direct Connect. The one which is less hassle when it comes to 'losing things' is the Self Contained model.....NO itty bitty xD cards to go missing with TWO WEEKS or more of work on it, which simply is GONE into the 'ether'!
I would advise you to go with the Self Contained model because of how busy you are, how much other stuff you have aboard that can disappear, and generally provide you with one LESS thing to go south on you!
Cheers from the Oil Patch in Central WY, USA
Something like that would be good.
A vlog style upload would be great for those of us who start getting twitchy after the five to 6 day mark. Quick to make, intro - couple of scenes around the deck if underway - plug the Raymarine with your current location - shots of the coastline - outro job done. Just watching the waves come over the bow of Renko as it ploughs through the swell is mesmerising could easily watch an hour or so of that. The possibilities are endless. (the oysters from Wallis Lake are sweet and juicy shucked while you wait.)
I was thinking the same thing Johnny, make these have a very quick intro, just get into the meat of what's happening that day and then wrap up. Will also do a longer video next time we are offshore. I watched a video once that was the entire train trip from Bergen to Onslow. Very relaxing! :)
Thank you for the beautiful sights on this amazing trip
You’re welcome. :)
Awesome trip planned mate,be good to see you catch up with the Brupeg crew again.
I can't wait to get up there now.
@@DangarMarine I bet,safe travels mate.
I think the shorter vlog style stuff will work a bit better for this type of video. Good idea 🙂
Hi Stu, you can go from Southport to Morton bay behind Stradbroke Island ,nice calm water cruise through the islands.
I agree, the landy would be pretty cool with a Detroit.
Cool, I’ll do some research into that soon. 👍🏼
Travel is different from fixing things. Makes perfect sense that the videos would flow differently as well. Having watched all your work on Renko, it must be amazing to finally have it out on the water. 👍
Thanks Ted, it certainly is nice to finally be getting the reward for all the effort.
Wonderful
CS lister's are phenomenal old engines and there are still a substantial number running shearing plants and generators throughout the outback, I owned one for a number of years myself.
They are so reliable that they are still produced under license in India by Mahindra corporation.
Bring on the vlogs! I would love to see more of the trip itself. (The vlogging will continue until moral improves.)
LOL.
I would be keen for a vlog every couple of days 👍
What a great way to start the day. 8 seconds in and I’ve already noticed the speaker in the cup holder and cameras on the raymarine. As always heaps of new information to learn. I need to go find out more about the sectored lights that got you through the break walls. Happy with absolutely any content while you’re on the great coastal adventure. Loving the journey.
I’ll do a short vid on sectored lights Vd leads soon.
@@DangarMarine Looking forward to it. Enjoy the journey.
stu, this is what we look foward to, bring on more vids. watch out adrian might be a stowaway
Love the green coffee grinder, it’s a year older then me.
Grow a backbone . . coffee grinder my arse
@@benwinter2420 what we talking yerba
I like the idea of more frequent vlogs with some interesting features thrown in as a bonus. Loving the trip so far.
Thanks mate.
Forster brings back memories as a kid on holidays.
Nice!
Loved seeing that old Lister, all the way out there in Oz, made just down the road from me in Glouscestershire.
Cool. 😊
Jeez lowering the power lines during a flood is downright silly. ROFL Great video as always. Cheers from USA
I know, crazy! ;)
...GREAT, thanks for taking me along on the trip...stay safe and enjoy..
You’re welcome, hope you enjoyed.
How cool great adventure glad you bring us along love the vintage engines and the autopilot indispensable
Thanks Gabe, glad you enjoyed. :)
Ah lovely trip. Time to open a beer and enjoy the ride! All the new toys working well? Best bit about new electronics!
Thanks mate. Yes , electronics and engine all working very well!
Great video, hope to see more, and more often. Thanks for bringing us along. David and Tammy from Florida.
Thanks for watching!
Where you stayed in Foster is where 'Wollamiah' came from, she lived up on a pontoon there. Not to mention any brands but went with the GME - VHF mounted and hand held in the end, all in.
Forster is a amazing place I grew up there some good fishing in that lake
I missed Terrigal. My favorite spot on this earth.
I have to believe that the auto pilot improves safety dramatically. No more staring at the compass, now you can scan the sea for what should, and shouldn't be there.
Spot on Paul. Best radar in the world are eyes in daylight.
Stu, every day note down the happenings so you have something to read and refresh your memory during editing. Doesn't matter what style or frequency of vid, the daily notes help during editing.
That sounds very organised for me. 😂
@@DangarMarine oh it is, which wouldn't hurt at all. ;)
@@jaquigreenlees you must be an infernal optimist 😉
@@kevgermany nope, I'm a complete pessimist. I just actively work to minimize the damage when sh!t starts hitting the rotary air movement device.
Good job buddy
Thanks 👍
You can keep a small voice recorder like you use for lectures. One with a time stamp for the audio files. When you see something or want to note a point or interesting topic you can do it right then or at least the idea right then. When you go back you can speed listen and pick the voice notes that still make sense. Any live video capture en route will have the same time stamp so you can key to that moment instead of watching hours of vid hoping to remember what you saw when... And what pithy comment or bit of true brilliance we always seem to forget a minute later.
Could be a good way to go. I might just use my phone though. :)
A suggestion for you. On that murphy gauge you installed, fill the line with light hydraulic oil. It will make it read faster. This is used on aircraft with remote sensor gauge senders or long gauge lines. Also, be sure there is a small office in the line at the engine so that if your line should break or chafe through it limits the speed that you pump oil out of the engine. It will give you a better chance to notice before you destroy your engine from oil loss.
Good tips.
That was so much better, especially the maps and the different views. I hope you do break it down into smaller clips, it makes it more interesting. Thanks for all your time and effort.
Thanks mate. I’ve got a few ideas to do the travel videos even better again. I’ll get the hang of it by the time I get to Bundaberg.
@@DangarMarine Are you well, I heard "coughs" on 503110180.
Like the sound of more videos :-)
Great idea to go with the vlog store for this kind of content. Thank you for taking us along on the journey!
More videos would be awsome! I'd love to feel like I'm along for the adventure
Thanks Lewis!
The best part of renko is the Detroit diesel sound!
Y'all - Look at Stu... Putting around on Renko like the world is his oyster. Good on ye mate!
Thanks mate!
Give the vlogs a go. Nothing to lose, Stu.
Very true, nothing is forever!
Love the videos at sea! You could point the camera out the front window and I would watch for hours
I'm bring an old fiberglass 17' Galaxy back to life with and io 120 hp mercruiser. Plan on exploring the Ohio river and inland lakes of Ohio US. Your work on Renko is an inspiration to keep chugging along. Thanks for the videos.
Awesome video, and the idea of a blog style is excellent idea. looking forward to more.
I like the idea of a little shorter video so you can keep up with each day’s events. I know what you mean about memories fading!
You have done such a great job with Renko!! Awesome and reliable!! Love the trips to see Damian and Jess!!
Thanks mate. Great to be able to trust the boat after all the work on it.
For sure the land rover is going to have a Detroit in it when you get back Stu...
Nice to see the gang back home 👍
I enjoyed your experment, And also like your regular style
Hey mate, great videos. I have taken on a old ex timber trawler in NZ with a Lister JP6. I have very little experience with engines but i'm at home on the sea having grown up on mussel farms. Wish me luck i'm going to need it. Keep it up
Beautiful trip, keep up the great videos. :o)
Love the content
Thanks Sean.
originally i subbed to know more about honda outboards, now we're troweling to see brupeg.. toot toot
Thanks for coming along for the journey!
Im so happy for you! this looks like an amazing time on the water.
Thanks Earl. :)
Thanks for the Ray Marine content. Helping me understand the Axiom Pro i have on a recent purchased boat.
Will be doing more vids on using the gear soon.
@@DangarMarine Thanks Stu and safe travels. I live on Lake Macquarie and own an ex MSB timber workboat Girrakool and recently purchased the white plastic from the dark side. Have enjoyed your content for quite a while now and picked up a few tips. I snapped a few shots of Renko when we travelled the river boat postman a few months back.
Morning Stu
Morning Mark!
More videos sounds like a winning idea!
You were in my neck of the woods! I've got a coffee Roastery just up the road I. Rainbow Flat!
vlogs sound good
Gotta love pelicans , so funny and cool looking when flying .
Awesome :) I live about half an hour from Forster on another boat-access only island. Let me know if you ever find yourself on the Manning!
Thanks mate, will do.
First time I've heard a compression sleeve referred to as an olive! Gonna have to borrow that one!
Pitted olive 🤣
Been called olives for the 50 years I have messed around with plumbing!
Ex mechanic, always wondered why and have just realised..🤦🏻
Very interesting episode, I love these on the go experiences and all the details of the sailing trip (nice change from on the hard videos!)
It is nice to finally be off the hard stand!
Good add on with the Murphy oil guage. I install those on diesel wood chippers all the time
absolutely love your videos. And Bonus we got to see a little bit of Miss Vicky! It looks so lovely there. Also, like your haircut.
Thanks Larry!
Had I known you were coming to Forster (or when at least) I'd have stopped by and had a chat.
You left the Landy with Adrian? Omg, it's going to be fitted with a Detroit V8 when you get it back.
I hope so! 😝
@@DangarMarine Detroit with Jakes backed by an Eaton would be fun.
I know you're only joking but they're too heavy for a 4x4. Even a 'little' 8V53n weighs at least 1000kgs. Add about 150kgs for a turbo one.
People have fitted 4-53 and 4-71s in light trucks (Ford F-100 size truck I mean) but the max rpm is 2800rpm so the gearing is not ideal.
I'm only writing this because I always wanted one in a 4x4 myself LOL
@@ThePaulv12 you forgot the range rover diffs and overdrive...
You're right. Far too big a lump and the torque would crucify the transmission. The 300tdi is probably the best motor, but the V8 petrol is lovely. I really liked my TD5, but the reliability issues spoilt it for me. My brother had a series with a chev 4100 straight six conversion. That worked well but we never got the gearing right. His V8s 110s were much better. Even if my dead slow diesel series III was better off road in mud.
@@kevgermany I've got 2x 1980s V8 Range Rovers (both not going) but the motors purr. I also have a 1984 Toyota Landcruiser FJ45 Troop Carrier with a new (not reman) 350 V8 that I put an Offenhauser cross ram intake on with dual Fitec TBI carbs for no other reason than because the muscle car hobby has become gentrified and I can no longer afford to buy any muscle car I like. I finally understand why guys build trucks now.
My grand plan for the Troopy is to fit 55% lower low range gears in the transfer case and then convert it to auto. I'll use a TH700/4L60 based tranny.
I reason with lower low range it'll work well on steep descents when camping and four wheeling even as an auto.
BTW, torque of 8V53 isn't that dissimilar to a 6 litre V8 petrol engine perhaps +250ft/lbs. Thing is being a 2 stroke I could imagine high torque production down around 750rpm which might be a bit hard on the clutch and driveline. It's not so much the amount of torque but the torque they make at low engine speeds.
Mmmm??? - maybe you're right re the driveline after all LOL.
ohhh yeaaah thats exactly the sort of thing that went in the datsun!!
The travel vlogs would be great and then feature vids when in port. Looks fun, enjoy!!...you need those wipers
On it!
Your coming up to sunshine coast and Fraser nice!
Getting there slowly…. ;)
Hi Stu, a vlog style would be cool while you are travelling, I am sure I'm not the only one living vicariously through you....😉
Listen, the coastal voyage or travelogue or boat tinkering or day in the life of an Aussie with some time and his own damn steel work boat is I suspect red meat to most of your viewers, stuck at home like me. The footage this time is beautiful. And, honestly, isn't this exactly what we were looking forward to years back when when you made this quixotic purchase after apparently twenty seconds of reasearch? Fucking adventure in the southern seas! Get a beer! (and film it)
Thanks Cliff! But to correct you there, it was only 15 seconds of research. ;)
