New throttle controls and other wheelhouse upgrades 

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.

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...)

3... 3... ish.... LOL, we love your videos Stu! Adrian, welcome aboard, always a pleasure to see you! Looking forward to see you visiting Damien and Jess soon :)

Stu, you live in paradise Mate!

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

Nice job on the carpet. Pete did great.

Carpet looks great, and real SEATS ! OMG. It's really starting to come together Stu. Lots of really nice new additions in this video. Thanks for sharing.

Ohhhhhhh, the drill bits, I feel your pain on that one. lol

Seeing an 'Adrian Cameo' in your vids is like watching the famous post-credit scenes in the Marvel superhero movies. 'Holy geez! Spiderman AND Thor in the one scene!' lol

Glad to see her taking shape

Great progress on Renko Stu, way to welcome the new drill bits on board. Thank you, Jeff in LA USA

Takes a lot time to get all the small things taken care of but quite rewarding.

She's really starting to come together now!

Wish knew you were doing carpet Stu. I would have told you a trick from a old carpet installer. When you take up the old you just lay it on top of the new, allow for a little extra and trace it out. Saves tons of time and effort.

Great to see viewers gifts becoming part of Renko.

I really need to say that your editing is perfect for your videos. You give exactly enough footage to show what your doing without us having to watch you screw in every bolt. Great job!

I have recently discovered how fabulous and multi purpose the flap disk is! It replaces so many tools

Lets here it for the your friend Pete's generous router donation the the Brupeg Folks. Good people helping good people.

Hello from Ontario Canada, another great video, your wheelhouse is really starting to come together. The throttle upgrade will for sure be nice on long trips! Love the name boards for Renko and Brupeg Cheers ~Aaron

Adrian the boss. Always welcome in these parts. Strong work by all!

Dont matter where ya drop it on the boat, it goes in the bilge and you need Mr Tickle arms to get it back because its probably stainless and the magnet wont grab it. Great video 👍

Pete's shirt is top notch

Pete! I'm sure your Router donation will help get Brupeg in the water much faster. You are a Godsend for your generosity! Cheers from Texas.

That’s awesome that Adrian showed up, with coffee! That guy is knows his Detroits!

Hey Stu, I believe the long wooden planks of the barrel as you called them are called " Staves ". I think I learned that from reading all those Horatio Hornblower books.

You looked like a prow on the controls. Glad you understood the instructions. Carpet looks good.

Nice one Stu.lots done in this video,at least you know where all your drill bits are now lol

Cool boat. Found this on my recommended.

Couldn’t help notice your toes curled up towards the end of the cut stu🤣🤣

Love how your vids show the raw side of building projects i.e. drill bits everywhere!

Great to see the improvements you are making, keep the videos coming. Missed seeing your chickens on this video.

The chooks don't look well mate I would call the vet !! Boat looks good now you fitted the sofa in the wheelhouse.!

Loving the seat and cabin mods Stew. Just keep it clean!

Thanks for the laugh at 15:48. We've all been there, but that one is brutal!

Busted by the water fuzz. Great video stu thank you. The Morse controls are awesome. Every thing is coming together well have a good week

love the sound of RENCO...

The birds on your island are so beautiful and unafraid of people❤️

Awesome video Renco is really starting to show more style. Nice work Stew perfect blend of functionality and performance.

HI from North Wales UK. love your content!

Love Pete’s shirt...very “festive”!!!

An ex BSO being pinged for not wearing a lifejacket ! Gold :) New carpet looks great !

A while ago I thought you wanted to have everything but the kitchen sink on Renko. Now you have it all.

Oh that engine sounds so sweet!😎

Looking mighty nice in the cabin!

New carpet looks great! Your doing an AWESOME job with all of the improvements and upgrades to RENKO, been watching since you began on her.

Always great to see Adrian. Good to see you working together as always.

Renko’s moving along quite nicely 👍

Yes!!! I was all out of new videos to watch tonight, and then this popped up in my sub feed! So happy!

Always good to see ol Adrian. She's getting in ship shape stu want be long she'll be ready to troll

The engine sounds great !

Ahh the fun of the RU-vid timeline. I think I commented on the last video or two that the binnacle controls were different than I remembered. Great work Stu!

Thanks for another great vid. Keep on doing what you do best. The editing is great and I so look forward to my weekly Dangar fix. Love how you include the opps moments like dropping the drill bits. It always happens at the worst time or place to us all. Great that you keep it real.

It's looking good. Every improvement is making Renko a great boat. 👍

As always...well done...be safe and steady...happy to hear you are getting use of your boots...

From when I was about 5 years old I was used to single controls for throttle and direction. Once I started operating a real boat and got used to dual controls I would never go back to a single.

Happy days Stu cheers ,shaneo ,nelson ,nz

Gets better with every video.

Wow Pulling a box cutter towards your bare foot. Very brave. I have a nice scar on my finger from a similar move. PS my last life jacket fail cost me over $300 - hope they let you off.

GreT video Stu, man Renko is coming right along. It’s the small stuff that takes forever!!!

Enjoying the tweaking of Renko!

Boat's looking level then Adrian shows up! LOL! Bless Mr. A. Diesel whisperer. Not that many men could say "well, let's have your top off" and get such a response!

Hi Stu! Great progress on the boat! You should look at gimbaled cup holders. They have a flat bracket that mounts to a wall or bulkhead and a gimbaled basket that attaches to the bracket. Swivels in 3d...works well. Sold by West Marine as Drink Mate

thanks soooo much. Im going to have peace n quiet on the job for at least a fortnight and will get heaps done. Why? Cause im going to share a link for this vid with our health n safety manager....should take him at least 2 weeks to climb down off planet lala. Seriously love it.

I like the new chair, and all the nice touches here and there. Renko is looking good.

petes shirt is the mutts nuts. love it and i dont drink alcohol

"every millimeter counts"...proceeds to install a damn lazyboy! I love that boat.

Nice job captain 👍🏾

Ace!! Just in time for bed.... Oh well. Set the alarm a bit later then!!

Good work. Quite a few mentioned staves, the barrel bands are hoops... Bummer about the drills going in the bilge.

To be honest now you should put up the wood on all the window steal. Looks very good the center chase

How convenient, I was just searching for something good to watch, thanks!

Unless someone has said. The wooden boards on the barrel are called staves. 👍🏻😁🇦🇺

Adrian Always Makes me Smilé/Laugh 😁

I wouldn’t worry about trying to group quick shots into a theme for your video. We just enjoy watching you and Renko...and those 2 hot chicks you usually end your videos with. The occasional Adrian cameos are appreciated too

Note to self....when Stu has birds chirping on the TV, hold onto my cat so he doesn't leap at the TV.

Great episode. The wood slats on a barrel are called staves. Stu, if you adjust the ballast on Renko, wouldn’t you be feeling listless🤔 BTW, I feel your pain on the drill bits. I did the same, but only on the shop floor. I can imagine it was real entertaining picking them up. I hope you had a magnet.

Really starting to come together now, well done. Look forward to seeing you come past beautiful Bribie Island mate on the trip. Keep up the great work. Russ

Stu mate the wooden parts of a whiskey or wine barrel are called staves. I bet those wine casks smelled great. Too bad you couldn't have gotten your hands on some used whiskey or scotch barrels. Now there's something any old sailor could appreciate.

Wow, lots of shtuff getting done, awesome work Stu!! Thank you so much for your videos, great shots and commentary. (education)

😂 Reckon you’re ready for a bigger boat..

Excellent progress, Stu!

“Next time I’m not promising anything, I might even sand it before I paint.” 🤣you got me good with that. That’s hilarious. Really enjoy your sense of humor.

"You got coffee, you'r welcome"... Totally agree to that. :)

Can't wait to see you guys tune up Brupeg's engine.

I live in south Louisiana in the swamps. you Stu are what we call a River Rat. A river rat does shit just good enough to get by, and don't give a f$&k about nothing. Keep up halve asking everything. love it

I enjoy your videos. Thanks! Had an idea long ago for your solar deck shade. If you use struts from the mast to support, you could eliminate those pesky down cables that are in your way.

Hey man ive been wacthing snice the beginning of renko, and i love it, keep up the video love from USA

Did make me laugh with the "getting busted" 🤣

A ceiling fan is a must

I rejoice in all the input from all around. A combined effort. The best.

Very professional looking set up. Nice.

How good is Pete's shirt. New Aussie flag option ; ) Couldn't help laughing at the dropped drill bits, glad it's not just me then. Always good to get a bit of Aido too.

You need a couple of old speaker magnets strategically placed to pick up & retain your drill bit swarf, might even be handy to retrieve metal items if on a string.

So, reverse is the new forward ? You're a real trendsetter Stu !

the barrel lumber inside the bands are called "staves"

Thanks for another video! I enjoy all the shows and how you work around the challenges.

Remember, when making chamfers (or installing carpet) it's important to not cut corners! LOL!

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.

That,s a shirt & a half that Pete was wearing, did he win the bet?

I gasped when I heard about your drill bits! Been there done that, it stings.
