Renko is such a wee cutie

[@4englishlies875]

The Boys are back , let the games begin. I do believe Dam and stu are long lost brothers. Great video guys.

[@sk3tchimdg3t33]

Nah they would argue more

[@alanroy5629]

I love the term "sparky".

[@simonilett998]

The red ring in the filter water trap bowl is a water level indicator that floats on water but not on diesel. You can easily tell if there's excessive water accumulating in the bowl and drain it as needed🤣👍🇦🇺

[@kevlarandchrome]

I was just looking for new coffee mugs this afternoon, no need to look any more, thanks.

[@georgejordaan1951]

Dingits.....😅 The red ring floats in water, easy indicator for water in the filter. Good to see Stu again

[@kptbillburkett8735]

The red ring is so you can see how much water 💧is in the bowl 🥣. Aloha from the Big Island 🏝 of Hawaii!

[@andymoss3132]

One step closer. Dig the tunes in the mix, very fitting. Good to see ol stu back in action, ol boy still hasn't found any shoes 😂

[@xrsi89]

that intro killed me! cant wait to see the boat back in the water!

[@scottbeattie6645]

Always great to see Stu and Damien working together. Best think about working on old boats, bikes,cars etc is working on them with mates. Even if it’s an hour starring at an electrical board working out where to next. Thanks so much for the footage of Renko at sea. I feel I’ve had my Dangar Marine and Brupeg for the week. Enjoy guys.

[@harrij19]

I see friends for life. Just so cool

[@nocturnalpete1]

Gday guys that pirate ship is the notorious a hand built caravel from oz . wow brupeg is another step closer so cool and now you's have power . all the best big pete ..

[@Iceman-wd1jk]

nice seeing ringco i follow the both of you all. loves to all.

[@andrewrowell6807]

Renko's looking really good after the work in the yard. Good work guys.

[@fonhollohan2908]

Have to admit Stu has done a great job on Renko that little Trawler looks awesome. Just imagine Damien your not too far away from both you and Stu to have the opportunity for both of you will be motoring alongside one another in the deep blue seas. Can't wait to see that day come to pass and I'm quite sure you are looking forward to that day as well. cheers guys.

[@chopdogmcgra8434]

Really appreciate the drone footage of Renko. Great to see how she sits on the water and her proportions. When I think back to stu lying on the hard stand exhausted from constantly working at renkos hull, to now on the water enjoying the fruits of his labours. Job well done👍 ….. and now looking forward to the beautiful Brupeg in her glory too!

[@ProjectBrupeg]

Thanks very much. It was really interesting flying the drone with a moving boat. 100% manual as there is no follow me function on that drone and the drone was only just able to pace renko at times with the wind

[@mySeaPrince_]

@@ProjectBrupeg Are you able to put floatation on drone? So it will float if necessary.. aka likely .. could be those key fobs that inflate when in water.. Also waterproof the circuit etc... .. so my burble is in one post .. Primary fuses should be at battery faceplate so lead is fully protected.. the current your playing with is too high for remote.. As it is a removable sole above inverter etc you should really have a rain guard.. quite literally a sloping roof.. thin plastic.. that's removable under the sole... Why? You will have people ... as you said "98% water" traveling above dripping a lot.. Also watch out for condensation.. if it does put air flow and/or warmth.. inverter might do enough.. I prefer battery switches to be easily accessible if fire .. so not above batteries! The number of boats that have the fire blanket above the cooker amazes me.. Some don't move it .. I loose contact with them.. You could do with a filter after your primary set... You will probably never need to change filter but could rotate to others... Get a spare (2) impeller for the mechanical driven pump and store it in a sealed container.. air tight food? .. to keep rubber fresh .. some add things to box to make rubber last longer, get advice.. In UK for example.. 12 volt bilge pumps .. 1500 gph are about half the price of a 2000 gph and it's not really different ... I buy 2 1500 gph.. Should have bleeped words!!! Your now not a family channel ... Regards Bella and Mark.

Thank you thank you thank you I needed my Stu fix- he hasn’t posted in a while and was having withdrawals

Ring is a water indicator. It will float on water and not diesel.

[@gkkes]

Fun to watch 2 twin Racor fuel assemblies in one week. Peter at Travels with Geordie assembled his earlier. Quite an ingenious setup which allows him to transfer fuel tanks etc...

[@bobuncle8704]

The wiring looked just fine. You’ll learn to live with it. It was really nice to see Stu and Renko there to help for a bit, before he heads home to a more “normal” life.

[@harveywebb6776]

A Ferkin maizing wow all the best for you’re beautiful future

[@dannyphilippa6658]

As fun as SV seeker is its nice to see a contrast approach when it comes to boat systems, build and design considerations and overall aims of the boat. Really well done.

[@anthonygordon6403]

How excited is Damo when he worked out he also had a deck wash pump! The excitement is building!

[@cliffstevenson5773]

Favorite quote: (Dame) "We can rupture thee or four compartments and still not necessarily sink, or have any drama..." Stu and Dame are great guys working together, high voltage welding and diesels on adventure expedition trawlers, a Brumance on the southern ocean.

[@perlarsen3645]

Finally up to date. Have seen all of your videos in a row.

[@ProjectBrupeg]

lol awesome stuff. That’s quite a commitment

[@jons6125]

The red ring floats on water makes it easier to see …..if the bowl is mainly full of water your brain tends to just optimistically assume its fuel. On other filter brands anyway

[@ProjectBrupeg]

Ahh good to know

[@jarnosaarinen4583]

I just realised you guys have got the perfect house to live in Bundaberg! A mate of mine lived on an old Barge at Billinudgel NSW when it floods (it floods a lot there) his house just go's up & back down when it clears!

Great video. Friends, good ribbing, beautiful scenery. 👍👍

[@frankcherry3810]

What a motley crew!

[@rockadon1977]

Brilliant Pumps, you will be surprised how much they can move when you need it to. ours was always set as the deck wash but we had a manifold between the pump and the sea chest with multiple T valves that could pump any compartment individually or all at once. We had an issue when steaming home one day, the ME overboard discharge separated from the hull, discharging into the ER. we heard an unusual alarm (we had never heard it before) and checked the ER and the water was up to the floor plates. after pushing the ME discharge back into the hole and holding it in place. we switched it over to bilge pulled the boat out of gear engaged the pump and floored it (12V71 Detroit). Worlds most powerful 2 inch pump. of course it was blowing and 2m swell so we had to keep going back into gear to keep our heading but that wee pump threw that water out like you wouldn't believe unless you see it. Just a tip, make sure everyone is aware of the different sounds of each alarm including Electronics ones, cause we didn't know that one but we sure as shit know it now. every time I hear the same sounding alarm now it send shivers down my spine and reminds me of that day.

[@sickstringbender1364]

The red ring only floats in water not fuel. It's just a visual indicator.

[@dc1544]

yeah what he said.

[@jarnosaarinen4583]

Great set up with the Batteries & 5kw Inverter!

[@davecoz4227]

those Renko engine sounds are accurate

[@billmoran3812]

I can see where Jess is really looking forward to being on the water. It will be a great accomplishment for you both. Checked on Renko after watching this video, she was anchored off North Stradbroke Island.

Those hydraulic crimpers are awesome! I have one to do double flare ends for automotive brake lines.

[@dcallan812]

I feel the pain of not being neat with the wiring. As an apprentice we had to loom wires with a cotton stribg-twine that was coated in wax. you just did loops and moved on, but all the same size gaps no wires crossing and working out the order the wires needed to be in AT the end to leave the bundle neatly. Fun it was not but it made you think of the details.

[@finnsailing69]

Dynamic duo is back together i see :)

[@tacticalrabbit308]

Put an alarm in if the bilge pump starts running to alert who ever is on the bridge that it's running and a low battery alarm also

The red ring is an indicator that you have water in the system.. It floats on top of the water, and shows how much water you have in it..

[@drewbryan9125]

Red ring water level indicator. Will float on water between water and diesel

[@rogerbayzand4455]

Another great episode and nice to see Stu and Renko. If you are fitting DC bilge pumps use Rule they outlast any others.

[@McTroyd]

Looking good! Great to see the surveys are starting. If all goes well, perhaps Brupeg will be looking for a mooring off Dangar Island in a couple months. Nice of Stu to give the first-person reminder for why you're doing this, even with the Detroit as power plant. 👍️

[@aserta]

A good, small, potentially cheap water pump, that outputs a good amount of water would be the impeller off a skidoo. I mean, they're small, they output a good volume of water, and they really don't care about details as long as they have good flow (you could use like a fire fighting hose setup) out of the back. One of those babies, would probably suck dry any volume of water short of having a Titanic gash in the side.

[@paullapper8702]

Well done guys

[@kiwi_welltraveled4375]

Kia ora guys, Suggestion...... On a boat with a bulbous bow they normally have a pictogram on the bow as a warning of what's below the surface. Perhaps pictograms, on the bow, stern and sides, depicting the stabiliser wings, might go some way to preventing accidents if other ships come alongside. Anyway, as always.... Massive Respect 😀👍

[@ProjectBrupeg]

Yeah that’s true. It does completely remove the element of surprise if we want to use them as can openers…

[@kiwi_welltraveled4375]

@@ProjectBrupeg The Argentinian Navy when they come along side for an inspection in their RIB might take that the wrong way. Or they could use it to drive their boats up on to, and if you put a few foot holds on the stabiliser brace it could be a easy access point in and out of the water. 😀👍

9:33 "protect the Cummins because it's a sensitive princess" There fixed your dialogue. I also note the insurance lessons from someone else cutting corners and "doing it my way!" seems to be spreading.

[@ProjectBrupeg]

Nah we were always planning on having insurance as our first port of call. Without insurance we can’t get rego, without rego we can’t go offshore

[@lancer2204]

@@ProjectBrupeg It's the smart move, also means you're up to a recognised standard if there are issues in ports outside Australia.

[@ProjectBrupeg]

Yeah we need to be careful. Because we want people onboard with us it’s not just our neck if something goes wrong. I friend of ours once said sail the boat like you don’t have insurance, if your 500miles out and start sinking no insurance company can save you. That’s our first line of thinking with insurance as a nice to have backup to doing it right the first time

Great progress tnx for this one it was a bit like going to school and learning something new as always guys and gals all the best Kiwi Chris

[@bobflinn7529]

Test the red ring in a bowl of fuel and then in a bowl of water. It might float on the water but not on the diesel fuel. If so, it would be a visible indicator of the amout of water in the fuel separator.

So I see now Renko has an observation deck ! Lol. Nice addition. Just when do you expect to change fuel filters on the fly ? I would say you won’t ever but backup systems are always nice to have ! Redundancy is our friend !

[@ProjectBrupeg]

It’s definable a commercial boat thing. We most likely won’t replace them much at sea but when we head offshore to somewhere like Antarctic then we absolutely need to redundancy as we are the only mechanic shop for 4000kms

[@EleanorPeterson]

Ah, messing about in boats... Yes, please! 🙂

[@jsholt123]

love the episode AS ALWAYS, but as you guys were talking about the pump i noticed you have the same kinda coffee press that i once used, i stopped because i read an artical in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences where they had confirmed the effects of cafestol and kahweol in raising cholesterol levels...two diterpenes found in unfiltered coffee. raising our LDL at the molecular level and allowing it to stay in our blood stream longer and oxidizing. simply oldschool filtering after pressing fixes this but i thought this might be helpful ....we all want you guys around for decades to come

[@ProjectBrupeg]

Did you know I never would have thought of this… Dame. Thanks for the info

[@mrseffexehambo8950]

Has survey requirement changed for bilge pumps? I ran a fishing charter boat back in the 90's in Qld. 50" trawler style, and it only had 12v electric pumps and it was in Survey, Had a Jabsco deckwash pump driven off the engine, but wasnt plumbed for Bilge, but i guess not hard to drop the inlet hose off and use it for that. but essentially it only had the 12v one and an old hand pump that needed priming before it would work,

[@ProjectBrupeg]

New survey rules are pretty tough compared to older. My understanding is if you have a boat in say 1990 survey and you never let it fall out then the 1990 rules apply right the way through but if you drop survey at any stage it’s the new rules for you. I’ve seen a few trawled go to extraordinary lengths to maintain old survey

[@johnhogg9756]

Does it not float between water and fuel so you can see how much water is in the bulb

[@ctown6971]

Hey didn't you just get a couple of those electric clutch pulleys from your friend? So you have some replacements for that pump now.

[@blobbblob]

The ring is to show water in the fuel yeah I think.

[@TheTinski07]

Funny that, my boat is under survey in Ireland and they wouldn't accept my engine driven pump and made me fit an electric one. Although that was a fire pump. Engine or electrical fire more lightly 🤷‍♂️ Cause water is what you want for either of those 😳

[@stevenholton438]

Do the Irish actually have ANY luck? 😁

[@kaydog2008]

[@JimLahey21]

Hi great vid! Just a question about the batteries and inverter. Are they in a sealed area? Looks like under a floor plate? If so you definitely need to put a circulation fan to remove the heat from the inverter etc. you probably already have.

[@bobadam7021]

"In this episode Stu destroys a fitting, and then explains why it's actually a good thing." Did you at least get him to look at that outboard?

[@gilcore5245]

Due to that suspect off brand engine which you have I am surprised insurance does not think a redundant engine is needed! LOL

The red ring floats in water

[@neilfairless4589]

This is my 5Kw inverter, there are many like it, but this one is mine.............

[@sparkyprojects]

If the ring floats on water but not on fuel, it's an indicator About tidy wiring: The current through the batteries is decided by the size of the wire and total length Basically, if the positive and negative on each battery add up to the same length on all the batteries, the current will be balanced. Basically you could shorten the positive on one side and the negative on the other, and shorten both on the middle battery, as long as each total length is the same.

[@ProjectBrupeg]

That was part of the issue. The battery furtherest away set the length for the other two

[@horriehunt5173]

@@ProjectBrupeg Looks like you are using 32 sq mm cable rated at 150 amps. It would take about 6000 metres per OHM. In the scheme of things a 1/2 metre variation would be almost unmeasurable. Wouldnt matter if you cut the cables to dress. When it comes to small wires length matters.
