Raymarine Quantum 2 doppler radar installation and alignment

- In this video I install a Raymarine Quantum 2 doppler radar into my steel trawler Renko. Once the unit is installed I need to align it to the boat's heading. I also need to calibrate the EV1 and AR200 electronic compasses to determine the deviation caused by the steel hull of the boat on each heading.

I’ve been a marine tech for about 20 years. I love what you do. I’ve always wanted to make videos because there is a lot I could include
Brilliant as usual. I'm a bit slow, but it just hit me how great a steel boat is - the entire deck is a welding table!
It is. :)
I love how you went astern onto the pontoon. Not easy on a single engined boat! And that little Icon at the end, sweet.
Thanks!
Don't you just love when a project leads to sub-projects fixing (or finding) the tools you need to use on the project?
It never seems to end! Can't remember how many times I've had to fix the air compressor over the years before getting the next job done.
Nice work with the radar!!! You gotta have that for safety and proper navigation.
Thanks mate, the radar certainly is important for the night passages.
Cover your solar panels all that swarf and welding muck will etch into them and rust 👍
Definitely looking into raymarine stuff in the future 😁 looks a quality piece of kit 👌
Yes, I should give them a good clean before and metal does start to rust. The Raymarine gear has been working really well so far, very happy with it.
It still amazes me that the average boater has equipment like this within their grasp where as in the past it was only for the big corporate guys on big ships. It's pricey but since it's modular you can add to the system over time. Raymarine makes a great product that makes life easier and safer for everyone on a boat.
The technology has come a long way. iPhones have more processing power than old super computers. You are dead right in that you can keep adding bits to the navigation system. Once you have the base MFD everything else just plugs in making it better and better with time.
Late to this one, but glad I saw it. Could have missed the welding safety tips. Like holding the workpiece with bare feet, nice! Just got back from watching SailGP in Plymouth. As the Aussies crossed the line, I said something like, 'how come the Aussies can be losing at any sport and they stick in there, you don't even notice them in the pack, and they still bloody win in the end' and the guy next to us on the boat spoke for the first time to explain in his Sydney accent that it was to do with 'a never say die attitude'. TBH served me right and the guy managed to keep a straight face. Was all he said. All day. So I also got to meet the world's only quiet Aussie as well as losing to you lot. Again..... Maybe our guys had the sail equivalent of a Cummins on board...
Ah, don't worry, we lose our fair share of sporting events!
“That’s a feature, not a fault…” has to be the best YT Channel by far, great stuff.
Thanks mate!
Those metal birds were not what I normally expect to see in your outro Stu.
The largest members of D Squad. ;)
Thanks again Stu for sharing, some of the blue water sailing channels could use the Ray Marine technology to make sailing in fog and at night safer and less nervous.
It does give you a lot of confidence when doing those night passages. Nothing worse than flying blind.
Dangar Stu, you have the courage to tackle projects you have never tackled - by yourself. I could do that 40 years ago. Now I second guess everything. CZcams is awesome for learning how to do things. It is however, wallaby excrement at allowing free speech
I guess sometimes you take projects on because you have no idea what can go wrong. Age does make us more cautious after all that experience, but that can save us from a lot of bad situations too. :)
Watching the Raymarine Quantum 2 doppler radar is more interesting than cable TV, like the inferred shots of the whales at night, have fun and work safe Stu, Jeff in LA USA
Thanks Jeff, it is amazing what the infrared camera shows up on the ocean at night.
I find some of the naming conventions a little fun. What you are calling a mouse, I’ve always known it as a fish/fishing wire.
I must admit, I hadn't heard mouse before either.
Looks like today is the day Stu. Hope all goes well craning her out. Raymarine definitely know their stuff...what a cool piece of kit. I was at actually fishing Juno point that day the chopper was towing the Everest banner haha.
Finally got on the hard stand! Wish I had know you were out that day, would have been fun to catch up.
Legend! and respect for always having the audio on point! Legend!
Thanks mate.
Thanks for an informative vid. I am considering installing a small radar unit on our 1/2 cabin as we will primarily be using the boat on Lake Ontario (one if the Great Lakes here in the United States). Alot of people I have talked with have said that a radar on a vessel under 25 feet is basically a 'toy' and a waste of money, but for the amount of time we will be on the lake, a considerable amount of it at night, safety, ect, I feel it's worth the investment.
I don’t think the size of the boat matters at all, it is more about whether you are or at night or in fog. If so, a radar is worth it’s weigh in gold.
Oh the banter will fly once you are sitting next to Brupeg. Dame really needs to put the Cummins firing up back in his intro. 😆
Thanks Patrick.
Very impressive nice equipment Congratulations on the progress.
Thank you very much!
Danger Stu you are a inspiration keep up the good work and I enjoy your videos
Excellent stuff, thanks for sharing the Raymarine install, impressive stuff. Good luck on the hard stand...
Thanks Russ, glad you liked it. It is amazing what it can do, particularly when working together as a system.
Awesome set up with your nav gear.
New deckys working well.👍
Thanks Peter, they are learning fast. ;)
been looking at getting Radar ,timely video
Radars are really important pieces of equipment for night passages or heavy fog. You'll never be without it once you've had one.
You lost me at, " Here we have..." 🤣. 🇦🇺👍🏻😁
Keep it up Stu. You were the first channel I ever subscribed to on CZcams.
Awesome, thank Brett!
Great video, so glad i found your channel. Safe travels and keep up the great work.
Thanks, you too!
on-board deck-pool priceless 😂
Glad you liked it. :)
Awesome Stu,more my cup of tea,take care stay safe
Thanks mate, glad you liked it.
Seen Ur boat today she looking good mate. I'll been done on the weekend hope to see u n say hello
Thanks mate.
...lookin' great, always good to see what's ahead..lol...stay safe..
Thanks, you too!
Amazing accessible tech capability - aren’t we lucky to be living in this age.
It is amazing.
Dodgiest welding ever, shorts T shirt and not even flip flops just raw dog 🦶.
Great video Stu !
🤙
While docking you could hear that Detroit Diesel roar.
Brupeg ( Cummins ) people blame their slight shade of green on sea sickness NOT envy.
LOL, you're right there! :)
I love the messy ness of you workshop
Thanks again....All over again... lol cheers mate...l just got to make a beer run....Ain't had a cold one in months now....!
Enjoy!
approaching 200k subs!!
Getting there!
He’s a big boy now - and make his own decisions 😎
most definitely coming together, with a coat or two of paint on her i recon you will be tuna fishing and diving for gold before two long, and you got the camera gear as well, i take it you've fitted a stern camera to catch the catch lol
Thanks Jon, I'm looking forward to getting these rust repairs done and the paint on.
Cricket? Hell man, you could ride that one like a skateboard!
Well you learn something everyday. Today many things about your installation, seriously impressive setup. Envy! I also learned that you can use hoof dressing (stockholm tar) for stopping bolts sticking/rusting in wet conditions. Wow, I'll have to try that, I always just used it for dressing horse hooves, anti-fungal etc. from a contributor, Bob Bebbington, below. Great day - time for a snooze ....
Thanks John, glad you enjoy and learnt a few things from the video. :)
Something that you can try with threads that subject to water corrosion is Stockholm Tar. Dozer operators up here use it on the blade bolts that are in water when building dams.
Interesting tip!
Great job👍
Thanks mate.
Thursday! Happy craning!
Thanks!
Mild steel!! old school! No access to a $20,000 stainless scrap pile unlike that Cummins up north :-)
I'm actually thinking of remaking the entire mask in aluminium as a bit of a side project to both make it better and keep the weight down up high.
So interesting love learning
Me too, new knowledge is always very satisfying. :)
Two guys having a tug together. Memorable.
Some yachts have just a hot tub on board, you've got pool!
Close enough, right?! ;)
Brilliant!
Thanks Wayne.
Best quality safety toenails ; )
Nice set-up the camera looks great, be interested to see the augmented reality in a bit more detail.
Thanks mate. Will be doing more videos on how each bit of kit works for sure.
@@DangarMarine fantastic. 👍
Not sure what your using to seal the cable run goosenecks, but plumbers putty work very well and keeps the pests out.
Thanks for the tip.
Nice video
Thanks mate.
Neat stuff! Does it pick up modern day icebergs… overboard containers from cargo ships?
The thermal camera is the best way to spot shipping containers, they show up very clearly. The camera will also sound an alarm so you don't need to be staring at the screen the whole time. Those yellow brackets you see are things it has identified as hazards.
thermal camera will show some containers but the best is to have simrad forwardscan which alerts you if you are going to hit anything.
@@DangarMarine but will it pick up half submerged refrigerators for
when you get low on vegemite and vodka.
actually a serious question is how small an object will it pick up?
a floating person, seagulls, dolphin a dropped bottle of beer?
I look forward to more sea trials.
@@James_Innes I wondered the same, and also how well it picks up vessels overtaking you from dead astern. Looks like an awesome rig, and with GPS and sonar, even Stu would have trouble getting lost...jk...
Stu put the sea plane in cos it sounds like a Detroit too!
Putting the other D into D Squad. ;)
HAHAHAHAH , at 25.16 there was a blip that that appeared on my monitor , BLOODY HELL its Dicky Knee , i was lmao
Now, I dunno much about radar, but I do know what you mean when you say it's handy when the slag falls off of it's own accord. Uncle Cosmo would often say the same thing. There was a time when we were all out on the Unclenching III with Cosmo's mate Dodgy Sheila fishing for Ugly Grubblers because they'd planned a barebeque but didn't have any money for sausages. Anyhoo, it was meant to be all calm and flat the next few days but you know what it's like with weatherboys and it can't come as s surprise it all got a little bit heavey.
Anyway, never did like to pry into Cosmo's business but it seems there was some kind of trouble brewing, I seem to recall one of them had borrowed the other's razer, for a delicate bit of pointing, and someone kept shouting that Sheila shouldn't keep putting peas in the bait barrel, and Cosmo was getting a wee bit cross. I recall we had a thing with a pelican that landed on the boat which was intent on eating Anti-MoMo's Mexican chicken footlong sarnies and only off-pissed when Cosmo twatted it with a six hundred psi nitrogen tank he used to keep track of his copy of TV Week.
I'm losing track, sorry about that, but the thing was when we were motoring back to Bangawallilalalol the water got a little bit frisky, and we popped up on top of a bit of a Fair Wanger when Dodgy Shelia was trying to tie a 'The Wiggles' helium ballon to her shoe and just went arse over tit and bounced off the gunnels. I was expecting we'd heel to and fish her out but Cosmo was quite sure that she'd gone in of her own accord and would, therefore, have to bloody swim home. She did look like a bit of a walrus, if I'm not being too unkind, but, whilst we never saw her again, it's for damn sure Cosmo found that quite handy.
Good old Uncle Cosmo. He never disappoints!
@@DangarMarine That's certainly not what Aunt Maureen used to say. ;-)
True story: I’ve played pool on a cruise ship with gyro-stabilised pool tables. Weirdest sensation to play a moving table when the room appears stationary and the balls don’t budge.
That would be very freaky.
I'm going to build a pool table that does that. That's fun.
It’s so much easier. You can just hold your beer and watch if you want. :)
I'm surprised Damien could handle that Detroit power!
When you were talking about the set up and getting your settings and dialing in the radar, All I heard was BLA BLA BLA BLA BLA. I don't take to all the computer and high-tec very fast need about 2yrs to take it all in at a very slow speed. LOL.
Can we get an update on how the solar is doing? You have had some time with it now.
It's going really well, I'll talk more about it when I put the DC-DC charger in.
@@DangarMarine Stu, when you do, perhaps cover what you do for a dump load if anything when the batteries are topped up.
it seems to me that your amazing ship has an unusual amount of gear on it. but perhaps im wrong because I dont see many people doing the kinds of things you are doing with their boats.
It definitely has more gear on it than the average boat of its size.
Great video. Where is RayMarine kit manufactured? Thumbs-upped as usual.
Not sure to be honest, I'll take a look.
Adrian did a great job on the 4-53, It sounds great and healthy. What is the fuel usage looking like?
Just found your channel on the engine battle - hilarious!! - but this is really cool - So does that Raymarine camera act as an updated FLIR? it appears to be a FLIR type camera but matched with the system. FLIR are awesome for picking up crab pots :) - but FLIR's are very expensive... it would seem this is the better of the two? I am guessing you can have it act separately on its own without the AR? And what is the AR part - as it appears to showing you what is there - just with brackets and names?
Nicely done! I am fromTrinidad and Tobago in the WI. I have watched every episode from the time you made the decision to acquire Renco before it was Renco. I always wanted to acquire a boat that I can go off shore with as well as to go to the other Caribbean Islands. I now have that confidence to do it. I am acquiring a 37 ft Hatters Convertible. Wish to upgrade all the equipment as you did to Raymarine. Could you point me to the list of equipment you have now and for the future of Renco. I would like to upgrade to all the Raymarine equipment as you did. The Caribbean cost line is similar to where you are in Australia. Thank you.
Hi Michael, this pdf has the current setup on Renko jacl.dangarmarine.com.au/Renko-Raymarine-V2.pdf
Amusing watching you grinding and welding bare foot
Be careful when welding in shorts and squatting like that. My welder instructor flash burned his wedding vegetables doing that when he was a lad.
I too did that as a kid… worst!
Wasn't just that it was the bare feet with drill swarf and welding slag droplets.👣🚑😲
Fear not, I always apply a liberal coat of coconut oil to the lads before welding.
@@DangarMarine lmao
@@DangarMarine
That could be bad with the music at the beginning of the videos. 🤔😅😅🤣👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻🥳
Liked that one very much...and have a question...the radar alignment, how critical is that on the horizontal plane looking forward? i guess if it's pointing down to far you lose range but if it's too high you also lose range? I may have to realign mine now that i've watched this one. Thanks for sharing!!
I think that plane was a seawind model. I have a seawind rc model looking just like that.
It's a cool little plane!
It's probably common sense but what is the reason for docking stern first? is it just the position of the boarding area with reference to the dock or something more nautical? I feel that it would be easier handling to dock bow first and back out into the lane when departing? I've never hung out much in a marina I usually trailer my little boat.
For us it is simply that the port side is the only side you can walk on and off so I need to back into that berth to make it match up with the wharf finger.
Boat pool best!!! Hahaha
I even just found the ball we lost. Thought it had gone out a scupper! 😊
Hi. Nothing to do with the ray marin install but does Adrian race lawnmowers i just seen someone that looked like him at the Townsville v8s. I do like your you tube channel keep it up
I don't think he does, but I'm sure he'd like to!
You can never have too many toys, fact.
Truer words were never said. ;)
Hey Stuart! Any war game exercises in your vicinity. You’ll need radar.
You never know!
LmAO, would have never thought of playing pool on a boat ...
Hope your trip is going well. I wonder why CZcams is not putting up your videos , I am subscribed and have the bell icon turned on but it has not been putting them up in the suggestion like it does the others . have you been a bad boy
Hey mate. Even if you have notifications turned on, CZcams shows the video to a small number of subcribers first, if they personally find it a bit boring CZcams doesn't bother telling other subscribers about it.
@@DangarMarine so no matter what we want they're going to give us what they think we want or what they want us to think we want, assholes, well keep shooting and I'll just keep checking, love your videos
Next project. Pool table gimble.
I like your thinking. 😊
Which Raymarine camera was that? I didnt know they made ones with PTZ heads on them?
It's a M232.
@@DangarMarine Whats the camera at 10:28? Its not the same one displayed when you show the AR later aye?
Doesn’t seem five minutes since you did the hull the first time😀
The deck has never been repaired or painted, this will be the first time.
@@DangarMarine He said "hull" :D You drunker sailor.
@@ExilSvensk he is a she lol
How did Damian cope with being on the water? Not queasy?
Apparently Damien never gets seasick.
How are ya back in dangy island?
This is footage from before we left.
Hi Dangar Studio - can anyone supply a link to the episode Stu did on the anchoring system with the float and ring that allows you to pull the boat offshore. A free Coopers (cold) to the first who responds as buggered if I can find it.
czcams.com/video/63ShKwldmUg/video.html
@@DangarMarine Thanks Cobber. I'll pop it on your jetty next time I'm going past.
27.00min mark whats that cray boat beside you ?
Not sure, it's a nice little boat through.
You have more equipment per foot then a Navy submarine ! Lol
Almost! ;)
I suggest you wear long pants and shoes when welding.
hi get 360 view on radar ask is because the mast is metal and feet on radar ?
is the radar picking up the perimeter of your boat?
No, the lines are the rocks on the sides of the channel we are travelling down.
I always weld barefoot
Me too!
GDay 🦘 SkîP
Wíth the infrared mode, in the theme of acting 🎭 @ a pinch 🤏🏻 with someone overboard, can it isolate, & alert 🚨 to heat signatures 🔍🤔
This mechanic spends more time repairing his tools than doing the job
Must have asbestos skin welding like that. you probably fry bacon naked too.
Doesn't everyone? ;)
Hey Stu, do you know where the origin lays for the saying " Rule of Thumb "?
Well ,many believe it dates back to 18th Century England where it was believed
a man was allowed to beat his wife but the stick could not be thicker than his thumb.
That’s not English, I think you will find that it’s from a more sandy, drier country. And it’s a lot older than the 1800’s.
1:15 Don't you mean "rule of finger"?
Good point!
How much would a system like that cost , US dollars
Not sure, I paid Austrlalian dollars. About $20K all up I would say.
@@DangarMarine wow, definitely worth it if you need, it and you do out on Open water but I don't think I could justify that for a lake with just a 1200 miles of shoreline. Keep having fun and sending videos.
Don't do your grinder up with the spanner! Only ever hand tight!
:-)
Its a shame that the camera isn't poe
I believe it can be either.
Boats getting top heavy now wont need you soon
dont put the camera upside down. water collects and will rust it out in a year.
If it wasn't meant to be mounted that way the Raymarine text wouldn't be oriented the way it is.
Since the labels were the right way up I'd say it was meant to be mounted that way.
Not upside down I think , not or less they put there name upside down on there product……
Yes, it is designed to go either way, but this is actually the more protected way.
@@DangarMarine dude....no it isnt. its designed to be in a sealed housing when its upside down not exposed to the elements like in your (and my) case. oh well, be seeing you post the OMG my camera rusted out after a year video....dont say i ddnt warn ya.
Find better customer service...I'll wait😂
