Howdy Stu from Dallas Texas!
“Not for steel” had a tech that didn’t heed the warning after he had borrowed my non-ferrous cutters. He got banned from the shop tools for a week, and he had to replace them.
I gave him the old set, he grounded the buggered bit out and had a fine set of electrical cable cutters after that. Bet he didn't cut any more steel cable with them.
They learn when it comes out of their own pocket😎
Welcome to the club Stu. I love doing things twice. It doubles my chances of getting it right the first time. Lol. R.I.P. Dotty.
I just got my D-Squad shirt, RIP Dotty. Sorry for your loss Stu.
Thanks Steve.
R.I.P. Dotty, you soothed my troubled mind with your clucks many a times, I salute you!
Stu, you are so lovely and caring with your chooks, I am sure Dotty went the best way. My condolences!
Nice job on the anchor winch, looking forward to seeing it pull actual chain!
Thanks mate.
Sorry about Dottie, I also am glad she was home, we had a cat with cancer and we took her to the vet and we ended up having to let her go there. It broke my heart to see her scared. Your hand seems a lot better. Keep up the good work.
I can understand why you felt that way mate. Vet's clinics aren't the most relaxing place for animals that are already under stress.
Love your videos Stu. Glad to see you are healing and I'm sorry about your loss of Dottie.
Wiring up my boat during my rebuild was actually the most fun part. I enjoyed this video. Thanks Stu!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for this important video Stu .. sorry to hear that sad news about your pet . She will rest in peace 🙏
Thanks mate.
"Any day on the water is a good day" sounds like a new T-Shirt. Also perfectly true.
Poor Dotty. Sorry for your loss
Sorry to learn about Dotties' passing Stu you become very attached to animals in your life.
Thanks mate, we certainly do.
Ditto. Glad she was comfortable.
I love the Finnegans Garage comment. Cheers from Florida, USA.
I'm glad to see your right hand getting more and more usable again.
Thanks mate. :)
“Every day in the water is a good day”, Stu, you have a T-shirt idea right there :))
Awesome work with Leo!
Thanks! 😃
Man the welding fit nicely between the flammable cabinets. that is a win.
Sorry for your loss Stu, Dotty was a sweet feathered family member.
You know whats funny, I was running 4gauge positive and negative wires on Wednesday and Thursday last week. Half way around the world I was doing very similar work. I just wished I lived in Australia. Lol great video Stu, as always. Take care.
Thanks Kris!
this reminds me about talking about a deck, door and window installation that I am doing by myself. A friend said "I can help with that if you need it" and I said "no, Id rather not show you how many things i can overlook and have to redo every 15 min."
Good job a on wiring it up Stu and thanks to your friend helping you. Sorry to hear about you one chicken. She lived a good life. Looking forward to the underwater metal detection👍
Thanks Tim. :)
I have a question for you. Can UA-cam change the language for our videos so people around the world can at least read captions?
Thanks so much Stu................R.I.P Dottie
Cool episode with more progress. Well done!.. poor Dotty! I hope the rest of D-Squad enjoy the garden.
I thought the closing comment might have been going to be "such is life". And "any day on the water is a good day" fits right in there with "never thought of an hour fishing as wasted". That time spent on or near the water is always good value.
Sorry for you loss my
Man ...
Great one stu I have a sav winch on my boat too that are a great unit cheers🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣
Glad to hear you have been happy with yours Joe, I think this one is going to work really well with this boat.
Sorry to hear about your loss Stu. RIP Dottie.
Sad you lost a friend but few chooks recieve as much love as she did.
Thanks mate.
Poor Dotty - so sad to lose an animal. ❤️ Hope you can make the D-squad numbers back up
Sorry for your loss
RIP Dotty, you will be missed the world over xx
Three different flames to shrink the heat shrink. Expected some “Dangar Stu expertise” on the wisdom of each method in each case. ;)
The one we didn't use was the heat gun because it doesn't work with the generator but it is by far the best!
The amount of times I have wired something up and left the base of the gland off, could see it happening as you were doing it 😂
heya mate, sorry about Dotty, sucks to lose one of the family. Keep up the quality content!
Condolences on Dottie. She sure was a pretty gal! It sux to lose a critter buddy, but it sux worse not to have critter buddies!
good to see the hand improving, well for the first half of the video anyway
Blue, green, black is what is also used on Mercruiser trim pumps. A easy way to remember the wiring is Blue sky's and Green grass.
Stu it looks like your hands are getting back to normal, "bullet dodged"! RIP Dottie, of the Original D-Squad!!!
First time I have seen cable ties being used on actual cables.
hi stu from scotland , you could spend a lot of $ on the manufactures remote or go to your local 4x4 store and buy one for a 4x4 winch or if you can wait a few days order one from china for very little $ ( a friend orderd one from china £15 so about $30 delivered)
keep these vids coming
Thanks mate, I think I will try something along those lines.
Well Done Stu.
I seriously like your new blue frames for your new eye glasses. They look really smart for you. Nice look. Enjoyed this video too very much.
Thank you so much!!
"OH NO!" pretty much says it all. I have said that (and worse) and done that many times. I always leave a little extra length in the wires because I just know I'm going to have to do some of those connections over again.
Hey Stu, great video mate. That winch sure sounds like it has a heap of grunt and was fun watching you guys sorting through and wiring it up. Sorry to hear about Dotty, not a bad old chook, will be missed. Condolences mate. Anyway, looks like you hands still improving, so much so you forget its damaged and push the limits on it. Still got to treat it gentle mate. Ok, cheers for now, see you next week... ;-}
Thanks Shane, see you next week!
Godspeed, Dottie.
Literally everyone watching was shouting at the screen watching you crimp those winch motor tails 😂 the joys
not me I'm illiterate
always good stuff! thanks also love the new shirts
It's good to have a remote control for your anchor winch but another level is a camera forward so you can operate the engine controls while anchoring. Use the main engine to unload the anchor winch.
A camera up there would be quite cool.
Sorry about dotti mate. Great video as per usual. Thanks
Thanks 👍
Good stuff Stu. RIP Dotty Ingat kuya
sorry for your loss stu
I suggest you put petroleum jelly on all contacts and connections. That will effectively slow down corrosion and save you a lot of labor in the long run!
When pulling cables trough a tight conduit consider spraying the inside of the conduit and some of the cable with silicone spray, it can make huge difference.
When pulling wires through a conduit, apply a thin coat of glycerin gel to the wires, helps with binding. Is also good for other things. :-)
My condolences Stu
Sorry to hear about Dotty... condolences Stu...
Last time i was this early i had a kid 9 months later.
I was screaming at the screen lol...I've done this so often yet still forget
good work man👍🏼👍🏼⚓️ keep going on and up 💪🏻 still watching you from kuwait 😁
Awesome! Thank you!
use this Standard Open Slot Wire duct and it works very well
"That's not a knife" is what was thinking as you got the Stanley knife out... (with an Australian accent, of course).
I had to look away! Just in case Stu fillet himself. Well I kept on eye open a bit
You guys would have got a job on "Russell Coights All Aussie Adventures".
Well done Stu John
Would love to see a crossover ep with Finnegan someday!
Blue Sky - Up - Green Grass - Down
Those cables are a lot easier to push thru conduits if you lube them with soapy water
I was shouting at my laptop "STOP STOP STOP" just before you crimped those wires but you obviously didn't hear me :-)
Louder next time! ;)
Find a Dollarydoo Shop that sells poly measuring cups with a 'hanging tab', cut a couple of notches in the edge and screw it down over those exposed battery lugs inside the hatch. That should keep it safe until you can make up a more solid cover...
Quick tip: When cutting the excess cable ties off always use a set of flush cutters vs regular wire cutters. The ends when cut with wire cutters become as sharp as a razor and when digging around in there next time you’re likely to cut your hands/arms up if not careful. A cheap example are these;
Klein Tools D275-5 Lightweight Flush Cutter, Up to 16 AWG, Grips Designed for Tool Control and Heat Treated For Durability www.amazon.com/dp/B000GTMZHG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_XuzfFbXA03KG1
fingernail clippers also work well
Cable tie cutters are even better. They pull the tie before cutting.
Aww, poor Dottie. R.I.P.
RIP Dotty 😢
I have heard there is a Marine grade of cable with the conductors being either Tin or Silver plated wire which is better for corrosion resistance vs bare copper. Like the videos.
There is Marine Grade wiring. Pure copper with a "tin" coating. Nice to work with and heavy for its size. I use it on my motorcycle and 4wd vehicles now too.
So sorry about Dottie...I lost my Pepper (cat) today too...bad all around for critters.
Sorry to hear about Pepper. :(
@@DangarMarine Thank you Stu
I was screaming at you.....The caps!!!!
blue for up to the sky and the green for down to the grass
I'm bereft!
Well I suppose you could have a vindaloo now to ease the pain - a parting gift.
Anchors aweigh!
Aww poor Dottie 😢
I strongly !!!! suggest you put the cables in Anaconda insulated flex pipe given offshore conditions
Glad Dottie had a good life and leave on her terms . Always sad loosing an animal
Nice.
RIP Dotti
@10:31 Boy do I know that feeling....Like making a perfect copper flare and then you realize you forgot to put the flare nut on first..... :(
It's always when you do your best flare too!
@@DangarMarine always!!
Sorry to hear about Dottie, my friend.
I have a question. Was there a reason why you did not take the peckerhead off the motor and replace the stub lead with a direct connection, rather than add an additional connection by splicing the wire on the open deck?
I thought they were gonna put some Anderson PowerPole connectors or something?
Save risk damaging the factory seal and having water get into the motor. The joins are inside the wheelhouse anyway.
@@DangarMarine cool. thanks fro the reply.
You can pick up a generic remote winch controller for under $20 on ebay. I've used them to automate boat trailer winches using a solenoid wired the same as yours.
I’m glad it’s not just me that fs up.
How many lighters do you have? I'm impressed!
I like that resettable breaker you used in this video. What is the brand name of it and where did you get it ??? Ya'll are doing a great job on your boat !
It came with the winch as a part of the kit.
17:00 you are missing a -ive wire from solenoid post to centre of the 3 controller terminals. It's shown in diagram at 19:11 I suspect that's why the motor only turned one way at first.
The number of times I've forgotten to thread the heat shrink in before connecting. Sorry about Dotti 😢
...great way to drop the hook, and retrieve it, ..lol..good job, keep safe...
Thanks 👍
Are you planning on cleaning up the wiring again at a later stage.... Love the vids mate but starting to get worried about the quality control
Eventually
Sorry about the D squad. Love the winch tho.
Said it before ill say it again when it comes to running in cables better looking at it than looking for it ...🏴
Stu
My girlfriend said your into music sounds like a 70ies porno, she heard it this morning and laughed 🤣. Made the qoute about me getting my Stu fix.🤔😉🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭
And she knows 70's porn because? We must see pictures....
Dave Attell of course
My wife said the same thing
@@jamespotter936
Years gone past, the girlfriend drove a 18 wheeler and listened to Playboy radio. She was a regular caller and made friends with Christy Canyon. She sent signed pics and other merch to her.🤔😉
I can appreciate that this a long long process! But do you ever expect to get back to outboard motors ?
From time to time but not the same as before.
If at first you don't succeed... just keep sucking lol. We all got days like that. Glad you got it worked out.
I would have rubber grommeted the holes where the cable goes through the steel to prevent chafing despite the outer grommets... but it's in there now. Circuit breakers ftw.
Cheers Brother.
RIP Dottie.
You can use rubbing alcohol as a lube to get your cables pulled.
Pulling cables using alcohol as lubricant would be at the bottom of the list of uses for alcohol on RENKO.
I had to come find this part of the video 22:00 so sorry to hear about Dot. Our Dotty got sick as well about the same time but she pulled through. Ours was a bit low on calcium and magnesium. Gave her a bath in warm bath salts and she pulled through. Sorry once again.
Bet I was one of many shouting "Don't forget the GROMMETS" !!!! ... we've ALL made that mistake!
Amazed when we colonised Australia we didn't introduced shoes ha!
May GOD Bless You Two All Always Amen MGBYTAAA 😎
