Gone fishing!

Fishing at last! In this video I head out fishing with Adrian (God's gift to Detroit Diesel owners!) and his stepson Thomas and Jason from Remora Lures Australia ( / remoralures )
On the first trip the boys catch a few flathead, which they kindly let me keep, and then on the second day Jason helps me to install some rod holders on Renko and teaches me the basics of game fishing for tuna and marlin. To make the day extra special he also gave me a custom Renko lure to get me started. :)

Glorious day! That blue water is absolutely stunning! Did some Marling fishing in the Caribbean about 40 years ago, didn’t realize you had Marlin in Australian waters. Love seeing Renko at sea, great to see her used as a real working boat.

Thanks Bill, that second day was a great day to be out. Nice to see the bright blue again!

[@brentmiller3951]

Now I know the while you are down there jokes are universal

[@chiphill4856]

I'd recommend some horizontal rod holders on the inside of the rails. Allows you to keep rods for different situations out of the way until needed. The boat is coming along great. No such thing as too many rod holders! Keep up the great work and we'll be watching.

[@chiphill4856]

Those rods stick up above the rail. I'm talking about a HORIZONTAL rack. He could use two or three of them, holding a few rods each. It would tidy up the cockpit and get those rods out of the way so he can fish all the way around the boat.

[@darrylmcleman6456]

Some of the gang around here define fishing as "a jerk at one end of the line waiting for a jerk at the other end of the line!" CHEERS from Canada! ( No Offence Intended!! )

[@jeremykamel9655]

I didn’t notice what kind of engine it is. I know it’s Vetus but they don’t make their own engines (I don’t think). They just marinize them. Kubota, Isuzu, Yanmar Tractor, or any number of others. Find the none marine exhaust manifold and build a basic water neck that ejects waste hot water so the rubber exhaust pipe stays cool. Then find a heat exchanger. The only thing you’ll need to work out is an expansion tank with a radiator cap on it. But that could be fabricated without to much drama at a local radiator repair shop out of brass. They’ll have solder on radiator cap bungs. Something that hold a few liters and have a 3/4 nipple on it that you can T-into one of the coolant lines. Note: use silver solder for durability. It takes higher temps but is much stronger for beating around in a boat.

[@DangarMarine]

Vetus are based on Mitsubishi.

[@jeremykamel9655]

@@DangarMarine can you identify the model of Mitsubishi were it for a land based vehicle or generator? Mitsubishi makes a fine diesel. Might even be able to find a used dry manifold on eBay. If you get me a model I can search a bit in my area.

Cool fishingtrip! About your topic on coolers and exhaust. Have you checked out if Bowman has a coolerkit for Vetus? In norway a bowman manifold cooler for that size engine is typical 3 to 3500AUD , and we are a high cost country. Would imagine it is a lot cheaper in Australia.

So my wife and I have discovered in our river, a passing boat is the BEST time to launch your bait. We used to wait forever for a bite and wind in when a boat passed in front of us in the channel. But we learned to keep your line in situ and let the boat pass overhead, would nearly always bring our lines to life. The only downside: the looks on boatie's faces when we'd intentionally launch our lines at their boats as they approached.

[@DangarMarine]

Double win! Catch more fish and stop people passing too close. ;)

[@Jack-tx2ve]

The other option with the heat exchanger is to bin it and fit a cast iron manifold off of the plant version of the mitsubishi engine. Then you could fit the aftermarket heat exchanger separately. You would have to wrap the cast manifold to try and keep the engine room temperatures down. Or build a manifold out of steel pipe. It looked like a good time out fishing. All the best mate. I can get a new heat exchanger housing for around £500 and the tube stack heat exchanger is another £350 or so here in the UK. Plus shipping to AUS.

[@DangarMarine]

I have thought about getting the exhaust manifold from the road version of the engine, could be a good way to go.
