The most important item on a boat is a fridge. The second is the BBQ. If I ever have a boat again I will paint it green and call it Starbug 1.
The fridge / BBQ combo is very powerful. Love the boat name. :)
I would be in heaven on a boat tour like that.
It is nice being out there on the water.
Stu don't let commitments you may have lesson the lifetime experience you are living. Let it all sink in and remember that experience is knowledge never lost. Enjoy the good with the bad. Take care
Thanks Kurt, sounds like very good advice. :)
If I never get the opportunity to cruise those waters I have you to thank for showing me what I am missing.
You're welcome, glad you enjoyed.
Pier 33 looks good for a nice evening meal.😃🇦🇺🦘🦘
Bit out of my price range unfortunately...
I love seeing Stu's super yacht sitting with all those other super yachts. Way cool Stu!!!!!
i would nt have any qualms parking up alongside the super yachts ,renkos a great little boat rugged ideal for coastal runs,and you got what 💰 cant buy the fun and satisfaction of doing the full refit by yourself theres no joy in just writing cheques, and doing bank transfers to others for work ,,loved the time lapse of the passage more of that please
Man Stu this is so cool. Will probably never get to visit Australia personally but thru your lens it's like I am right there with you. Greatly appreciate it and am totally jealous.
Great to hear you are enjoying the trip.
You really ought to make every attempt to visit Australia. It’s an amazing and lovely place. It should be on your bucket list. I wish i’d never left sometimes.
I support Michael 😊 we are in te same boat 🙄 thanks Stu 😏
Thanks Stu‼️
Sweat reward for all the hard work! Cruising is OK!
Sure is!
Gold Coast, yeah, with all those huge yachts, there's gotta be gold there!
Surely! :)
There is, I have been getting some gold in a few creeks up in the hinterland around Advancetown. The Newman family have been
quarrying the gold coast for decades and getting gold as a by-product, shhhh......
This series is one giant advert for Australia, it's tempting!
LOL. Won't be long and we can all travel again hopefully!
Zen and the Art of Outboard Motor Maintenance. I just sit in awe of a man disassembling an outboard motor, while it is still attached to the boat. In the water. With all the screws and clips and fiddly bits staying topside and accounted for.
Yes, I do focus pretty hard to make sure I don't drop anything!
11:38 - _"the foot-path's run out but fortunately, the scooter's very comfortable, off road... Uh - oh - ah-ah, my spine, owe, owe, owe,!"_ lol I'm feel'n it Stu! "Sweet Home Alabama" tunes - Cheers- (good time for the spiced rum!)
Such a nice area. So many nice folks as well.
It sure is!
Stu - Been rewatching a lot of your old videos the last couple of days. After having repeated issues with my 1973 Johnson 50HP not idling, I decided that it was time to go big or go home before replacing it. Replaced the head gasket, did both carbs, and now I opened up the leaf box...and then I opened the exhaust cover and found the leak that was putting water in to the lower cylinder. Ordered all the gaskets (6 in total) for the front of the crankcase, and exhaust cover(s) from MarineEngine. Only broke one exhaust cover bolt so going to try my luck with the Helicoil. Beyond the gaskets, I'm also replacing the fuel pump and the coils. The internals of the motor look great and it seems a shame to junk it.
So yeah, your videos cover a ton of this fun stuff and my willingness and confidence to even try this stuff is directly tied to watching your videos and your explanations of how to do these various things.
Well it's all back together. The broken bolt proved a problem but I think I got it sorted. Letting all the gasket sealant set up overnight before trying to start it. But hooked it all back up, didn't let the smoke out, choke works, and it cranks. Even got the overheat alarm back working again.
I think it ultimately was a combination of a leaking exhaust cover and bad fuel pump letting gas in to the lower crankcase at low speeds.
New coils and to spec spark plugs to boot.
Looking great. 👍
Thanks Peter.
Nice to see you're putting the fruits of your labor to good use. I really like that metal tub.
That’s mate, it is nice to be out on the water after all the work.
Wow that a fantastic Boat yard, Renko looked great with all the other super yachts, like the walk about, looking great Stu, Jeff in LA USA
I wish I had have known you were at the boat works, I work at RIVIERA right next door, making the fuel tanks.
I see that boat wrapped in plastic every day, reminds me of the Whitehouse in the US.
Ah, shame, was thinking about stopping in there and seeing if I could film a bit of a tour. My cousin did the tour during the boat show and said it was amazing to see.
Awesome :) To be honest, exactly the kind of video I've been missing. So great to get a glimpse into the day-to-day of your trip and see some of the places you are going. Thanks for taking us along! Cheers.
Glad you enjoyed Ole.
...glad to see the trip is going well, stay safe and enjoy..
Thanks, you too!
If only you stopped by "Bum's Bay'.
You would have met some very interesting characters and probably saved yourself a couple hundred.
So close to going inside on Stratie!
Well done on your voyage !
Like I said, if you come into Ballina, I'll be there for your lines.
Those prawns looked delicious, can’t get any fresher than that.
Sure can’t.
I had some fresher than that....last week!
@@stevenholton438 Did you eat them raw, underwater?
@@victorbitter583lol Ex commercial shrimper here.....from a skiff so closer to the water haha (The 'last week' was to emphasise how TODAY'S FISH is ALWAYS the best! hence the humourous catch!😇
@@stevenholton438 Ex commercial longliner deckhand here. You are preaching to the converted ole mate. Those prawns were alive so hence my jest at your comment. Cheers.
So awesome to see you out there living the dream stu!
Stu,..Great Video... BUT...What are you doing :)....We are trying to keep the Gold Coast and Broadwater our secret !... Good to see you up here in Queensland for our tough winter weather.....For those that live in colder climes.. Winterising a boat here here may mean the crew needing to wearing a jacket sometimes :) :) Enjot he rest of your stay in Queensland.
Viewers won't tell anyone. ;)
Great adventure!
Interesting seeing the Gold Coast through the eyes of a tourist. Ive pretty much lived here all my life and was a great video Stu👍
Thanks mate, it was great to get to see it from the water finally.
I really enjoy these cruising videos...I miss being on the seas.
Thanks mate, glad you like them. It is great being out there again.
great video stu
Australian coastline looks gorgeous
It does give me a different perspective on this coast line. I've seen it so many times driving up by road but it is great to see each town from sea now too.
I couldn't tell , were those horses right hand drive ? LOL Wow , the beers are working for me today. What a great adventure you guys are having ! Wish I could do that here in Florida with my wife . Good sailing Sir and God Speed !
Definitely right. ;)
Ahhh man I thought you were gonna have some “shrimp on the barbe!” Haha!
Soon! ;)
That marina on the Gold Coast leg was incredible, thanks for sharing Stu!
You're welcome, glad you enjoyed it. :)
I have followed along patiently since you bought Renko for THIS!! Thanks for taking us along Stu.
Thanks for watching Brian, glad you enjoyed. :)
OMG - He GAVE you those beautiful prawns? A gourmet dinner for the cost of the gas to heat it. YUM! Great travelogue, Stu. Thanks
It was very kind of him. :)
Welcome to Queensland. The old girl looks like she's doing well. Enjoying the ride with you. 👍
Thanks mate.
Hi, stu the problem you had with you'r secendery tank was most likely the cap. If you put glue on top and just losen the cap when you use it, you will most likely not have the water problem.
I had the same problem with my outbord Yamaha's tank and it was the cap, and i glued the cap and i have never had a problem since. (Excuse my writing, because i am from norway)
Yes, was definitely coming in though the cap.
Autopilot is a godsend on these trips. That Reymarine unit is the gear as well. Going to look into getting one aboard our boat next spring.
Stay safe! Enjoy!
Sure is, Couldn’t be without the autopilot now.
This is awesome viewing Stu. Great to see you so relaxed mate It really is. Safe travels. PS loving the Hardly Davidson 🛴
I love metal detecting but have not done it in years. I need to buy one. Maybe next year when I get my taxes back. When I was a kid we did that several times a week. We found all kinds of neat things. We even found my great aunts class ring she lost during a graduation party. She cried because it was lost for 46 years.
Can't go out to sea myself for a while, the next best thing is watching this channel. Miss being offshore. Not at night though, it's always tense. At least on a small boat.
Yes, night passages can be handy to get where you are going but do take a lot of concentration, especially when you are tired.
Great vid mate keep em coming cheers
I am loving this Stu, thanks
Thanks mate, great to hear you are enjoying it. :) I was worried that people wouldn't like the cruising stuff having subscribed for mechanical vids.
@@DangarMarine Great to see some cruising after all the work to get the mechanics, electronis, etc right it puts things in perspective around why you are being so meticulous in your installations and prep also good to see some of Aoz and as a Kiwi you guys have an awesome country
I recognise the Tangalooma wrecks anchorage off Moreton Is, my stamping ground. Hopefully when you get back from “The North”, you can stop in BrisVegas for Patreon meetup, I’d love to see the boat for real.
Will definitely organise a few meetups on the way back down once the time pressure is off.
Awesome videos. I would love to see a catch and cook on that new grill
Me too!
Hi Stu, in joying your dry sense of humor. I miss that so much from when I grew up in UK . I’m sure a lot goes right over the head of the yanks where I live now!
Cheers Warren
Thanks Warren. I am tempted to do a second version with a laugh track. ;)
Not much left to say. Everyone else already echoed my thoughts!
Oh no we missed you when you came through the bay. On your return south you need to call it a “Coopers Cruise” and the locals at each area can come out and say hi and drop you off some coopers! Loving this series. Travel safe 🤙
Will try to organise a few meetups on the way back down when the time pressure is off.
Woohooo another ripper. Loving it. Stu you such an inspiration.
Thanks a ton!
This trip is so enjoyable - like being on holiday for us (great to see Eddie❤️)
Great to hear!
This feels about as close to a holiday as ive had in 2 years
I hope it helped a little bit with the Covid blues. :)
Basically doing the same trip via land right now! Surprised I haven't seen Renko in the ports. Safe travels
Enjoy your roadtrip!
What a hoot to see home turf (puddle) through your eyes. Glad you enjoyed your stay. Travel safe!
Thanks! It's been really great seeing the Queensland waterways for a change, they are really beautiful. :)
Should check out Couran cove, it’s not what it once was, bit dodgy these days but still a nice place
Up at Mooloolaba now, but will keep it in mind for the trip back down.
What a great trip Stu. Beautiful country awesome beaches. Renko is a nice vessel and the work you guys did on the diesel really paid off she sounds ready for anything thrown at her. Happy days mate
Thanks mate, all the work has made Renko a very reliable boat now.
Great video. Loved that boatyard, amazing! Stay safe.
It was an amazing place to look around. Much appreciated Steve's tour!
Awesome Stu!
Welcome to our neck of the woods... I grew up in Redland Bay and its a wonderful part of the world up this way.
It sure is!
Always entertaining Stu, look forward to the next video!
The Southport Seaway, many a weekend in the 90's paddling across it to the Nth for the best Beachbreak in the world...
Stu when you get ready to repaint your forward rails . Take 7 feet of 1inch weld link chain make one wrap around the railing and start drawing each end back and forth watch the paint fly. Easy Cheesy.
Cool idea!
I noticed in the last video that red dwarf was dancing and bobbing around behind you. If you set her to ride on the second wave behind you, she will track true and you therefore would not chafe through your lines.
Yes, need to replace the painter it.
Although I enjoy the coastal passages,as a retired marine engineer I look forward to the projects.cheers for now (roly from the UK)👍👍👍
Thanks mate. We'll be doing a lot more work on the boat in a few weeks when we get to Bundaberg.
UNDERWATER LIGHTS!!! oh man. its like I have found something I never knew existed and know for certain that my boat would have to have them!
If the price was right I would love to install them. They would be great for getting back to the boat after a night dive.
Great video Stewart safe journey my friend xx
Wow,just great,the amazing footage
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it. :)
Safe travels! It is good to have a great mechanic on board!!!
Thanks Rene!
@@DangarMarine it is great to be able to follow your travelings with marine travel!! All the way from mexico
That video was superb. Loved that boat yard - there's so much money around.
Sure is a bit of cash tied up in the boats there.
Good on ya Stu. Your traveling through my neck of the woods now. You'll enjoy Morton bay.
Thanks mate, really enjoyed Morton Bay, very cool waterway.
These videos are actually more interesting than the "Renko" build series. I look forward to each new video.
Thanks mate, glad you are enjoying them!
Outstanding area and looks like a fine trip so far!!!
Thanks mate, glad been a great adventure. :)
You’ve got the barbecue. What’s next? A jacuzzi?
Nice to get a tour. That was quite the facility.
You need to do something with the suspension on the “Harley”
Might start with just a foot spa and move up from there. And also, a slight correction, it's actually a Hardly Davidson. ;)
Perfect, time for a beer!
Enjoy. :)
Gotcha on AIS in AUS. Sorted!
Stu, really enjoying the videos of your trip. Good job mixing the views of when you are underway with your chart plotter shots blended in. Stay safe!
Thanks mate, glad you are enjoying them. :)
These trip videos are awesome. Reminds me of my familys cruise through the islands 20years ago when i was 10. In a retired fishing boat too :)
The Detroit is sounding sweet now it has a few hours under it's belt. Great videos, following your journey. All the best to you. 👍
Thanks mate. I too find it sounds better now that the rings have bedded in.
good to see the trip is progressing ok Stu..good luck and safe sailing for the final leg.
Thanks mate!
I've only taken my small boat very short distances at night on a well known stretch of the local river it's super dark out there. That FLIR is pretty a pretty awesome tool to have especially when in unfamiliar waters.
An infrared camera is a great thing to have on dark night, that's for sure.
Hi Stu
Thanks for the journey back in time. That’s where I grew up, but crickey things have changed. I had my first job at McLaren Marine on the Spit, but the stuff you showed us is a whole different world. Amazing, thanks.
The Goldy to Moreton bay is our playground, I even seen a few mates boats in your video, we're coming into Mooloolaba on Saturday 19th on our way to the Sandy Straits, catch up for a beer if your still around
We're leaving for Double Island Point Saturday morning and hoping to cross the Wide Bay Bar on Sunday afternoon, weather permitting.
@@DangarMarine at this stage we plan to leave Mooloolaba early Sunday morning and also looking at crossing WBB Sunday afternoon
Super fine trip and taking us alone.....Thanks very much.....Cheers
You're welcome Steve, thanks for watching!
Kuuma is Finnish for "hot" if you didn't know.
Dang, beat me to it. Usually when Finns see some Finnish it's a cause for celebration 😁
@@ollivartio Torilla tavataan!
@@MarkRose1337 exactly right! Getting excited here! 😀
Excellent video Stu, makes us all feel like we are there! Detroit sounds great.....as expected.
Thanks Ken, Detroit sure has been running sweetly the whole time. Adrian did a great job!
Hi DM from North Wales UK. Great to see you out in Renko!
Hi!
Putting all the work into it and enjoying it. That's what life can be all about....
For sure, worth all the effort now. :)
Great editing....really enjoyed.
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for sharing! Have a great journey!
Thanks!
Go North as the Blue Nomads slowly cruise the Queensland coast heading to the "promised land" of warmer water and balmy days. Wow, great tour of the Boat works Stu, important question who is feeding the chooks? Calm seas, safe passages, eat more seafood, and remember to put a lure out (that's how you catch fish), and thanks for sharing looking forward to the 200K subscribers barrier been smashed.
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed. Martin is feeding the chickens.
Great video. Good to see you enjoying your adventures after so many years grinding and sweating. :)
Thanks!
CONGRATULATIONS
Thanks James!
Great series Stu, really well done. Cheers🍻
Thanks mate.
Seem to be having a great trip. Appreciate you taking us along with you. The ol Detroit must be holding together well. Ol Adrian the mad scientist.
Thanks Andy. Yep, the Detroit hasn't missed a bit yet, Adrian nailed it for sure. :)
Thanks again Stu!
Welcome. :)
Fantastic video, I know I say that every week but it’s true, there is so much more interesting stuff, like when you go exploring etc. I can’t thank you enough for taking me on your journey! I am following you on AIS tracker too.
Thanks Terry, great to hear you've been enjoying the journey.
Ten thousand-year-old Ring Pull. What a Find.................> :]
It's amazing what you find when you look. ;)
Cant get any fresher then that ! Your exhaust sounds great ! To bad you can’t expand your sleeping quarters , trade her in for a Cat and live full time on her ! Lol. Was once told on those Cats BOAT = Break Out Another Thousand ! 👍👍 !
Sure can't! The engine is sounding sweet now it's bedded in. :)
Very enjoyable episode, love the tours and the beautiful Australian places! Indeed, Renko blended perfectly! Haha (I give a million times more to enjoy renko than those giant floating hotels for the rich!)
Thanks Dan! :)
Wow Stu, you almost had spray over the bow! Go Renko!
love the comedy Stu!
Heading North to warmer weather... OK. 👍🏼🤠
Can’t wait to get up there, it’s certainly been chilly so far.
@@DangarMarine Sorry... I just have to *re-calibrate* my head: Dangar Island in June is like -- maybe -- South Carolina in December... So, you're headed toward aproximately Miami Florida in the Winter. Nice.
Darn Stu missed you last weekend when we went out of the seaway. Safe travels let us know if you stop at Peel Island horse shoe bay it a awesome place
Thanks Matthew, will hopefully have more time for meetups on the way back down.
Great one Stu , engine sounds great mate !
Thanks Mike!
