Hi Stu. I am a forensic fire investigator. When using linseed oil, make sure you dispose of any contaminated rags etc in water. High risk of spontaneous ignition. Love your vids.

[@kevgermany]

Was going to mention it. Very important point.

[@DangarMarine]

Intresting, thanks for sharing.

[@Hoaxer51]

Lay them out flat to dry in a single layer. Once they’re dry they should be ok.

[@kevincrosby1760]

Regarding the fire in Brooklyn... Boats with inboard gasoline/petrol engines generally come equipped with blowers for the engine compartment. On all of the boats I've been on, the switch for the blowers was right next to the ignition and had a big label telling you the minimum time that you should run the blowers prior to attempting an engine start. I was always taught to start the blower, then go put my nose next to the blower outlet. If I smelled gasoline for more than a second or two, then it was time to find and correct the fuel leak before repeating the process. When the blower runs for the specified time with NO fuel smell, then you can attempt to start the engine. Might have been a bit paranoid, but I've never blown the engine cover off of a boat. (Bonus hint...it's almost impossible to forget bilge drain plugs when they are in a plastic bag zip-tied to the latch for the trailer hitch...)

[@DangarMarine]

Yes, the blowers are critical with inboard petrol engines.

Good show! Renko really taking shape and coming together. Idea. Make a cup holder setup to attach to the seat and swivel with the seat. What would I like occasionally in the videos is some views of Renko going along with some 4-71 sounds included! Thanks for all the years of good programming. JIM

[@DangarMarine]

Thanks Jim, yes, moving with the seat would be good. Definitely need to get myself a drone and do more outdoor shots.

@@DangarMarine i have a question... I just rebuilt a 1983 J75TLCNB. I have spark. I have gas in the throats of the carbs. All new wires. New power pack. New spark plugs. It cranks but doesn’t start. Randomly it will make a popping noise and a little smoke comes out of exhaust and I assume this is normal. Could my cause be timing? It bogged down under load and randomly died last year which is why I built it. I’m scared to continue to keep trying to crank it due to not breaking it in yet. I wish and hope you respond. I’m at wits end. Also after cranking I notice gas coming out of the throats. Is this normal?

[@advancingaustralia2913]

The bands are called hoops and the planks are staves. You will need to screw every band into the staves to prevent them falling apart. Every 4th stave so they look like a spiral pattern on the barrel. Top #1, second #2 stave, third band #3 stave, 4th band 4th stave, back to top, 5th screw in 5th stave etc. As many numbers as bands. Hope you comprehend.

I don’t know if I agree with that, he is able to figure out a way to make things work out but most of the work he does i.e. Detroit Diesel, anchor system, electrical systems and such are ship shape in my opinion. He’s definitely laid back back but cares about his ship, but as far as tools and work areas he keeps they are a bit half asked.

[@richardwernst]

Yup, staves. And you should put some screws through the band around the barrel, 4 probably enough, as the bands are only held in by pressure, and since the barrel is intended to hold liquid, that keeps the staves expanded against the bands. Without that, they'll dry and shrink and the bands will tend to fall off and you really do NOT want that... :)

[@DangarMarine]

These barrels have been dry for about 8 years now. The guy drove the bands down when I bought them (hence the white where they previously were)
