- In this video, Dave, Troy and I install a Raymarine Element S GPS Sat Nav and sounder / fish finder into Delstar II. Knowing his location as well as the depth and temperature of the water is important for the work he does on the trawler and the Element S gives him all that information cheaply and easily.

I'm loving the new upload rate! Thanks!
Thanks Kevin! There is always something boat related going on around here. :)
Nicely done, and thanks for the short cruise, just beautiful scenery.
Thanks Duncan. :)
Stu I have to honestly say I really enjoyed this whole series. I've watched you take a boat it was barely floating, work your butt off and turninto a fully functioning vessel.just need some more loose ends and the engine, and you good to go! And the really cool thing is is I'm an electrician so I fiddle with wiring all the time, and I watch you do Boat wiring , I learn something new there as well! You have really good work ethic and I'm glad you're thorough, because nobody wants the excitement of having a wiring fire when you're out floating on the ocean! I'm looking forward to seeing the engine go in your boat! Keep up the good work!
Thanks Mike, I can't wait to see my engine going back in either!
Great to see the install of this unit. Very useful piece of equipment. 🍻
After three gallons of epoxy and many hours I’m ready for the fun stuff, installing a sonar unit on Dingus II and thanks to your salesmanship it’s an Axiom+ 9 with the RV-100 sounder.
Cheers from the mouth of the Columbia river, Illwaco Washington USA.
Congrats on getting your boat up and running. I'm really happy with my Axiom on Renko, I'm sure you'll love yours too. :)
19:09 inner tube from a mountain bike tyre could act as a sleeve over the wiring to help protect it
Another thing I like to do is take a bit of vacuum hose, split it lengthways and then push it onto the metal edge.
Nice video Stu. I like the idea of seeing what is going on with boating in your area as well as the progress on your boat.
Thanks mate. There is always plenty going on around here with the local boats. I'd like to show more of them.
Awesome video, great to watch. Love the hardware.
Thanks Rod!
Just got home, and perfect timing my man!
Nice! :)
Nice to see the development of Raymarine gear, it looks as solid as ever. Raymarine used me as a floating testbed on my charter fishing boats and I saw the development of the forerunners to todays equipment. I very seldom had to look at the instructions when testing new equipment it always seemed to be self explanatory and easy to use.
That's interesting to hear, you must have seen a lot of change as the technology improved.
For me I like navigation instruments easily reachable and adjustable from the helm seat. Always liked Ray Marine instruments. Nice series. Take care. Doug
Yes, I definitely think it is important to position any equipment in a way that really suits the way you use it. There isn't any absolute right or wrong but it must be right for you!
Great work Stu
Nice install, I’m now a RayMarine fan 👍
Thanks Danny, I can't wait to get mine installed now. :)
Great timing! I am about to install a Raymarine Element 7 HV unit.
Good luck! :)
I really enjoyed this video you explained the unit really well thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice to have another look at Delstar
It certainly is in better shape these days.
Really cool video I always liked Raymarine products they've come a long way amazing the stuff you could do with it
Thanks mate. :)
Excellent vid Stu! And I love that little doggo! :-)
Thanks Chris, yes, she is very cute. :)
Good to cya Stu great job on the Trawler!
Thanks mate.
Thanks for the video mate 👍🇬🇧
i'd like to see a ''walk thru'' of a marina like that, and a casual look at other Aussie aluminum boats others have.....''there's so xtra content for ya'', real simple. Finally!! never knew where the hell you all were!
There are often lots of very interesting boats up on the hardstand there and most owners are only too keen to show them off. :)
@@DangarMarine I think there is room for another walk around Brooklyn to complement the walk around Dangar.
Great video Stu. Very informative but I reckon the best was seeing it out on the water... Cheers for now mate... ;-}
It is always nice to see something in use out on the ocean. :)
Nice sunset shot ! Thanks
Sun rise. ;)
Thanks for the video
No problem!
As Always great show thank you...
You're welcome Fernand. :)
Stu it’s ok to go all Kiwi when you’re talking chairs, but it definitely gets sketchy when you stars discussing Deck sizes.
LOL
I think that’s very subjective. It really depends on the size of the deck and the social situation your in at the time.
Thanks Stu .. great!
Thanks Andrew!
Nice vid, I betcha he will use that new unit a bunch and enjoy it!!!!!
For sure, it's been very handy for him.
Good lookin out for your mate!
Stu, very informative , your a very
Diverse boat fella , kinda surprised you guys didn't have a line or two out drowning worms or something.
He's got a boat , and seems to have the nack for it handled .happy
Camper .good on ya' mate .
From California, namaste
Thanks William1
This was handy as have same unit to install on my boat thanks ever
Glad the vid helped Patrick. :)
Awesome 😎
“What screws ‘ave you got?” “Well I ‘aven’t got any?”
Great vid mate I have a smaller Raymarine unit on my little Hardy 20 here in the UK works a treat
Thanks Mark, glad to hear your Raymarine unit has been working well. :)
Really enjoyed the vid That Raymarine gear is the Beez Neez The footage at the end heading out of Broken Bay was magic
Thanks mate!
Hi Stu I have a Raymarine unit in my Kevalar cat for 15+ yrs now would not trade it for anything I have the 12in screen for the old guys and the things that you can do with it is unreal just add things on as you want cheers keep the vids coming
Hey Alan, I would love to have gone with a larger screen but you can also add multiple screens which is something I might do down the track. I love the way you can add radar, IR cameras, temperature sensors etc as you want. They are very expandible.
"How often am I going to be down there?" 😁 Dave needs a youTube channel.
I would have put it front of the helm, but not on the ceiling on the dash
That was a nasty looking reef right there at the end. Wouldn't like to "find" that on a dark night! Nice unit, easy install.
Yes, it was interesting seeing it on the chart first and looking out and seeing it for real.
You never really said to much about your trip to America. You should do a short clip on it and your impressions.
Hey Jay, I will do a short vid during the week. :)
Always go both ways.
Stu, why don't you look into an advanced electronic unit that you control over the internet, then drive your boat from the comfort of home. You never get wet, cold, (or drown if something goes really wrong)! They have cars that drive themselves, why not boats? Then when the auto-fisher has a nice catch, sit on the beach with your beer and a bikini-clad lass and watch the trawler come into port for a big fish fry... perfect! 😎
There certainly are boat system for driving by remove control. A lot of big boats use them so the skipper can walk down the back and drive it like a giant radio controller boat while docking. And so the bikini-clad lasses can see him. ;)
The trawler looks SO much better with open water behind it!
I think all boats do. :)
I told Dame and Jess the dance im telling you. More videos! Im Gonna be laid up for a bit with more spinal surgery, so I need some CZcams entertainment from you Stu. Great vids, love watching all the work on Renco and Delstar.
Will do my best! Sorry to hear you need the surgery, I hope it all goes well for you.
Second times a charm they say. Im hoping to become the bionic man this way
If you’re laid up for a while check out the back catalogue of AvE and clickspring. More great content. Of course watch all of Dangar first 🤙
"Do you have the bananas I sent you?"
Hey Stu, I reckon that ray marine will get moved again when he scalps himself a few times 😂
Two months in and no head injuries yet!
@@DangarMarine He didn't look tall enough to hit his head, just your in danger of that Stu...
'So, what kind of screws have you got? Well, I haven't got any.' Made me laugh!
These are great videos. Thank you for making them. Ho about some showing redoing the interior?
That would be how
That thing out on the water looks a steam roller...must have been why the water was so flat...😂😂😂🍻🍻👍
LOL
Interesting!
Thanks Randy.
Piece of heater hose would make a fine grommet for that bulkhead hole.
If I was working that close to the water with all those little tools and parts something would have had to roll off and fall in.
When ever I worked on a boat, I threw a 10mm socket, a 3/8" socket and a #2 screw driver in the water before I started the job to appease the gods. :)
@@peterrasmussen2805 LOL...that's funny!
Looks like you could do with some kopex mate, Raymarine products are real nice to install and work with. Their support team are pretty good too.
That unit looks to be a nice chartplotter/ sounder. My guess it will be moved 5 times before he finds the place where he likes it best. Happy sailing.
Thanks Richard. So far it's been in about 8 weeks and he seems pretty happy with the position.
Far cry from your last jaunt aboard Dave's boat!
Yes, the boat has had a lot of great work done to it now and has been running really well.
Very interesting to a "lubber" Stu, thanks for the effort. Amazing stuff guide your journey now, must chat to my eldest.
Thanks Mike, glad you liked it. :)
You just have to love Dave.3.39 " What sort of screws have you got? " " Well I haven't got any." 5.18. "Do you trust me Dave? Trust me to get it right?"....Silence.
Make a sloped bracket to hold it at an angle, up top, easy to see and adjust...my landlocked opinion
You can tell that ui is designed for a touch screen. I think the option with both buttons and touch is the way to go.
I'm glad my Axiom has both. I'm really keen to get it installed now. :)
Turbo flange, mmmm need to get myself one of them.
I'm still waiting for Coopers to come on board as a sponsor haha.
Me too! ;)
That New Sea Strainer on your friends boat seems less than robust as many of those Clear Polycarbonate fittings i have found after time especially that 'See Through ' types degrade and may become brittle after just a few years ...that plus folks dropping the inspection cover that then leads to threads being damaged or grit getting into same , then its a case of either cross threading same and then no being able to tighten same fully home can lead to all sorts of problems... worst of all is trying to use a Large Pump pliers on same ...truly messing up same...maybe that just me...great installation of that GPS Sat Nav and Sounder...
I have a Simrad GO9xse on a small center console. It is touch screen only and so far has worked great in choppy seas, while wet, and covered in fish slime. I was apprehensive about getting a display with no physical buttons, but after 2 years of use it hasn’t failed me yet. Knock on wood.
Cool, that's good to hear. The touch screens in dedicated marine equipment like this are certainly much better at handling water.
That is an awesome unit but I would not put it up there. I hope you mount yours where most people mount their units. I love how you rag on Dave and he never even cracks a smile. I'm surprised he let's you on his boat. Haha
Where do most people mount them?
I have mine right above the gauges but I also have a 2nd on to the right. Both don't block my view over the bow. Now the ray marine is 2 to 3 times larger so not sure if he has room?
It is a bit tight. I'm going to be mounting mine on the dash but over to the left. I'll talk about why in the video when I install it.
interesting video, offshore navigation isn't an issue here in SE Idaho, USA! (Partnered in a 31ft Criscraft, in San Diego several decades ago ..then it was all Marine compassion and navigation charts!)
Hi Is the raymarine element hv has a voice alarm on big fish
And Stu does it again with another great vid, a couple of things though, that fuse panel looks dated and the cables could be better organised, second thing I noticed, you must have started making the vid after beer o'clock because I didn't see one single stubby, tubby or tinny anywhere. 👍👍
Yeah, the electrics are showing their age on this boat. It's almost time for a rewire like I am doing.
Hey mate I noticed when you were talking about ground for the RF unit that some of the red wires in the background were twisted. It probably isn't a problem but it could be producing some inductance. Your friend might want to look at that if he has any anomalies.
Yes, keeping those wires parallel can be a way to drop induced current interference, good point.
Great viewing its November 22 now and I’ve bought the RayMarine element 7 combo HD transducer. The card did not come with my package but I am interested in the GPS I thought the screen like a phone had it built in? I am not sure treason for you putting the small dome in is for when out at sea better signal. I ended up putting ORCA on my iPad Pro. I live 5 miles away from the river Mersey Liverpool and not only did it show me the river but it give me all the boats in it and the names above the boats. Cracking free app. I have a Honwave t38ie3 dinghy, you can’t call it a boat but I plan going island hopping around the British coastline. Scotland alone has more than 175 islands and I possibly not sure may not get the signal I need for the Orca on my iPad. To be honest I only got RayMarine for the transducer for not hitting any rocks lol. Love your videos watch quite a lot thanks for sharing Ray K UK 🇬🇧. YNWA.
Great video Stu, but.... where is the beer? 😊
Stu's left elbow is pointing to it @0.06.
I would use some kind of seal for all the wire path threws
Yes, sealant everywhere is good.
Every time I hear Stu say “sikaflex”, I drink a shot of Archie Rose gin. Good Times!
Great game. :)
Since your U.S. visit I have seen you on three of my favorite you tube channels. It occured to me the that you may have visited quite a few more than I am aware of. How many you tubers did you visit during your trip? Curious minds want to know.
Hey Will, just the three I did videos on. There were plenty more I would have loved to have visited but time didn't permit.
That's What Happens when you have multiple LeFFe's Thanks Mate
Stu mate awesome work loved it how is the engine and gearbox coming on
Gearbox is done other than painting and engine should be back next week for me to start getting it ready.
@@DangarMarine oh cant wait exciting times ahead cant wait to hear ths thing
i'd just be worried that if there is any gap between the rib and the skin it might loosen up. especially with a plastic sounder that the material is soft and has some flex.
G'day Stu, great video, makes no difference to me which boat you're working on, I enjoy your presentation and content is always good. Boatwork is boatwork. How's Daves leg ? all healed now ? Loved is wee sea dog, cute or what ? Regards from South Wales UK.
Hey Jon. Yes, Dave's leg is much better now thanks. He was really lucky in the end that he didn't need a skin graft at all. And yes, cute dog. :)
This is probably a stupid question but i clicked on the link to the sounder and it says its has American lakes maps or something, is it very hard to get the maps for cruising round Australia do you maybe have to upload them or something? Lol sorry I asked this question before the end of the video.... for 750+ delivery seems like a great unit!
Yep, as you will have seen when you got there charts are available for all over the world, no trouble at all. :)
I thought about moving the VHF and putting it there. But what do I know.
Is the paneling in your cabin 1970s basement rec room.
It goes with the 70s porn theme music Stu has at the beginning and end of his videos .
@@raeanker3078 LOL
Might want to set the transponder depth to the very bottom of the rudder/prop. Easy to change.
Yeah, it was a bit of a rushed setup, certainly a few things we could tweak.
Should have used a ram mount which would have allowed him to swivel the unit into multiple positions.
Fishing Fool , I mounted my 12” Garmin 1242 with the large Ram mount and it seams to be working and handling the weight fine. Nice to be able to fine adjust it. Only complaint with Ram, they sent a tightener handle that won’t spline so need to tighten with pliers, ugh!
What model transducer was installed? The hardest part of chartplotter shopping is finding a suitable thru hull transducer. Im in the market for one and keep finding transom mounted units.
I think it was this one. Raymarine helped with the selection.
@@DangarMarine an airmar p319?
Say your trolling for tuna does it have tracking we’re your travelling or were you have been
Yes.
Beware FEROCIOUS GRAY WOLF aboard!
Fearsome! ;)
Hi Stu. On the rebuilt velvet drive transmission, I saw a short hydraulic line from the out to the in. I hope that was just temporary, and has since been run to a proper oil cooler?
Yes, I think the cooler was still waiting to arrive at that point. A brand new one got installed in the end and has been running really well.
@@DangarMarine Good, a cool Velvet Drive is a happy Velvet Drive!!
I would have placed the unit directly in front as you suggested Stu. Oh well, Dave's boat, Dave's choice.
I think the big issue there is glare in your face at night.
Hi Stu
What is the engine in Daves boat ?
It's a Perkins 6 cylinder diesel.
No! not there.. That was funny hahaha
Apparently it's always 6:35 in Australia.
So Dave’s boat is ab aluminum hull? I see a lot of the same design features as where used in the US. Coast Guard 41 foot Utility boats. I think he’s going to enjoy that huge aft deck. We need a fish fighting chair and a huge beer/food cooler on the back. Glad you didn’t cut up The aluminum bracket. Maybee install an for/aft deck light. Ok great video. I’m surprised he dint install a three way valve on the head. None position holding tank. One position overboard discharge 3 nautical miles out. Don’t know hazmat regs down under.
Great Show!
But not an Ale in sight?
Unreal DM.
Except at 0.01 in the clip at Stu's left elbow.
See, you just weren't ready yet Jono. ;)
@@DangarMarine Ah!! Please Accept My Apology. An Great Spotting Dusty!
@@jonoedwards4195 LOL. How dare you make such unfounded allegations against the great man. I hope you're ashamed of yourself?
Have ever had a video on how to wire VHS radio to a GPS like Garmin ? Wires are not always the same . Thanks
Have more radio and GPS install videos coming up very soon.
Stu, how much in US dollars was that set up?

I had a Ray Jefferson depth sounder on my boat back in the 70's and it worked well. I suppose the company just changed the name to Raymarine. this unit you installed is very nice.
Interesting. I'm not sure if there is any connection but I'll look into it.
👍
Touch screen, buttons, whatever, call me crazy but if I can't reach it while I'm sitting/standing at the helm, it's too far away. It's hard to tell with that wide angle lens you're using.
He can reach them, but he doesn't really need to. The main chart screen gives him his location, the current depth under the keel and the water temperature all on one screen so he just turns it on and does his day's work. I'm actually thinking of mounting mine on the far side of the dash where the navigator can see it better than the driver. I think it really depends on your use case.
Your Starting To Talk Like A NZ-Lander... LMAO I Hope He Raised The Bottom Draft Of Boat Back Up On Setup So He Don't Hit Boat In Shallows! LOL
This unit lists IPx6 and IPx7 rating. It looks as if there is more danger of a head injury and the unit being damaged by that same impact than a possible water drip. The unit can oblige some water..
Hey, a trimphone in the background at 25:30. Who the hell still has one of those? Must be 45+ years old!
That is actually a modern copy, I love the style of them. :)
why are you worried about getting a bit of water on a IPX6 / IPX7 rated unit?
So it doesn't have streaks down the screen that need cleaning.
@@DangarMarine probably end up with fingerprints all over it anyway :)
2:45 ceiling?????? tut tut STU surely you mean't "Deckhead". Nice install,be easier when you do yours now
I didn't want that Kiwi accent coming out again. ;)
