EXPERT HELP!! Fixing a propane locker & sailboat steering - EP21 Ran-day  

You can be Randall, but there's a lot of people who will always think of you as Ran-Day! God bless you.

I love how Walter is the antithesis of the Captain. Both are fonts of experience and knowledge and definitely wise old salts but so very different. Keep up the good work. I miss the Captain but I do enjoy the new episodes

A treat to see Walter.

You are very lucky to have someone like Walter helping you.

Always good to see Walter . What kind of world would we have without people like Walter in it Good to see your getting around to the steering .and all you had to really do was stand around and nod your head mostly and talk .🤣Kidding aside nice video And soo soon since the last one Thanks Ran Day you gave me something to do on a rainy day here .

Great episode with great quotes from Marcus Aurelius and Herbert Morrison. Walter is a piece of work! 😅

Walter: What a gem and scholar!!!

I love Walter and his great sense of humor. ❤ He's like the George Carlin of boats. lol

It's awesome to see some of the pros lending their expertise. You can't beat that! Thanks Walter and Dave.

Thanks for the tip on the cable clamps. I installed mine incorrectly, so I double checked the instructions and they were wrong! 😡 I rewatched the episode to make sure I understood you correctly- which I did.

I’m not a boat owner but I enjoy the education. Thank you.

Love it Randy. Walter is just amazing, He wouldn't have to do any thing, just be the color commentator. I think that is a really good idea.

Every moment with Walter is a joy, thank you.

I don't miss Capt Q near as much when we're lucky enough to be blessed by Walter Schultzs presence and knowledge in a video!!! I really enjoy Walter, he's the kind of person who i can get along flawlessly with because he doesn't beat around the bush when speaking. He's direct and straight to the point with a laugh thrown in there to make sure a person is enjoying themselves while learning. Thank you Walter for agreeing to share some of your valuable time and extremely helpful knowledge. God bless you and Ran-dayy

Schultz is the OG. Love his simplistic and practical approach. Oich!!! 👍

This was great! Can’t wait to see the follow-up episodes!

After watching you take apart the steering system, I can see why some people prefer the simplicity of a tiller. Good work with lots of good support. Have a good weekend Randall.

As an early 20th Century alum like Walter, I love the "tell it like it is" style. Plan it safe. Build it right. Enjoy the result. Don't over think it! 😘

Fixing potential problems. Way to go. When this is over you won't have to worry about steering problems or propane leaks. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂

Great video, I love that you’re showing the reality of older boat ownership. Keep the content coming.

Hi , Randy I like it when you say anyone can do it I’m a one legged tap dancer. I lost my leg in 2018 and I don’t think I can do a lot of things that you are doing what I would like to do it I love sailing keep up the good work. Have heaps of fun from Australia

Great work Ran-Day and crew!! Love seeing this old girl getting some love!!

One of the smartest channels on RU-vid from the content to the characters. Oh, the humanity! Indeed

Now that's team work! (kinda like a dream team)

You do have some great people giving advice. Hang in there!

Oh yea. Wanted to mention. Am refurbishing a 95' Honda Nighthawk cb750 with (sort of) your same theme of Adventure and Outdoors. But, course, Walter. I love Walter. "Make it fun." Got my Hunter 23. Nice trailer, all fitted out with great sails and rigging, FOR FREE in my front yard. (not gonna lie). It's all gotta go in the water. For me at this time it's about going along the water. Yea on a motorcycle. So I will think of you as I peruse Hampton Beach, Prescott Park, maybe Old Orchard Beach, York Beach. Yea ~. Good enough for me. Walter making a template helping with you. You being so patient with Walter. So nice to see. Thank you so much for sharing all of this. Just great. ~ Ran Day~. ‼

The boat will be great and ready for the 7 seas after the full service. keep up the good work Captain.

I am on replay whenever Sir Captain Walter is there. In the future Randay, you are going to sleep soundly somewhere in the Caribbean known your little girl inside and outside, every nook and cranny! Happy Sailing ⛵

Nice video... The good news is it only blows up once. Interesting what old boat builders deam risky.i appreciate the boat diagram showing were your working in the boat... Left side.. great job!

Excellent access to the steering. Also, the bench locker has so much valuable space. Great to listen to Walter and to hear him emphasizing the importance of actually enjoying the boat. Thank you for posting.

Welcome back Randy, good to see your new video.

Quite the crew this episode 👍🏻

wow, I would have been covered in grease!!! His khakis are spotless!!!

Makes me like tiller boats even more.

Real fun, wish I was next door! Thank you wonderful coverage.

Great episode and composition. The video is very good. But now I’m focused on my 37 yr old cable gee thanks Randall😂

Good episode, ask Walter if he docked at Bald Head Island marina near Southport NC. I think I got a pic of his boat.

😂 "We could make it out of cardboard and duct tape...We don't want to make it half assed" Very funny.

Thanks. Always great info.

Awesome content!

A good one!

Nice work Randay and crew

Wow Randy, that was a lot of work. Congrats on one more task off your list. Whoops, I spoke too soon.😂

Nice video Randy. By the way, how's the captain doing?

My boat-neighbor had a propane explosion in the Marina, San Diego , May '22. It was powerful enough to separate the main deck from the hull, dis-mast and blow out all the ports. Man ("...and his little dog too!") were very lucky that day... just some singed eyebrows and such. 36' Hunter. Don't do anything dumb, different or dangerous.

Hi Randall, regarding the side with the two nicopress sleeves instead of wire rope clips (bulldogs, whatever you like to call them), the two sleeves look very much like 3/16" size bc of their length (7/32" sleeves are shorter), but the cable Looks bigger than 3/16. And it looks smoother than 7x19. I couldn't read the caliper display but is Dave planning to use 3/16"? Is the old cable 7x19 or "Tiller rope"? How about the wheel shaft bearings in the pedestal, have you considered renewing those? Thanks to Dave for coming out, Edson customer service has always been stellar. We've used tempered masonite coated with epoxy for propane lockers and it has worked out well. Personally, I prefer to use One Piece propane hose from the stove to the regulator (bought with end fittings attached) instead of copper tube, but I am not second guessing Walter. We make the holes through the bulkheads etc oversize and float the hose through the holes with home made membranes. Every time I see your aft cockpit, I try to imagine what kind of coaming or drain would stop water from pouring off the weather deck onto those seats; so far I can't think of an easy solution to that issue. A coaming could create a lake there, and would bring other issues, like making it even harder to climb out of that cockpit. Thanks, all the best, Marty

More Walter. And more cow bell.

I'm wondering if it would have been less work to install a hydraulic steering system instead of replacing the old cable system?

If you’ve said, I missed it…. Do you have an ETA for going to the Caribbean?

everytime i laugh at "old sailboat bank". then it gives me chills. is that a real bank? what’s going on there?

When's the Captain going to make a cameo?

I guess it's not necessary to run the propane locker wall all the way up under the coaming to the deck and seal it in?

"Let's Go Yachting"...In lay Terms---- "Let's Go Work On The Boat"... Been There, Done That..Best of luck to you.

Why aren’t you tearing the whole assembly out - and lubing and marine painting?

Keep plugging away at it.

Would it not be better to eliminate the propane altogether and switch to either alcohol or electric? I guess it all depends on your eagerness to spend some hard earned time and money converting.

If the previous owner had ordered a Qt. Of wonton soup instead of a pt. It would have worked.

I don't think I should own a boat, I saw those sheaves and thought those need to be shiny clean. in reality, I bet they do not.

Marcus Aurelius? How about quoting another Roman Emperor when doing boat projects. Vini. Vidi. Vinci..
