Thank you for service to the world. I never would have bought a boat if it wasn't for you. I still pop back and rewatch videos when i'm having outboard issues, and recommend them to people alot.
@@travellingsoldier5018 I quite agree As a Lecturer and tutor in an engineering training workshop, I was horrified to see stu's Bare feet . No safety gasses while drilling and grinding. Most of all holding the steel plate while drilling on the drill press. It appears he has a charmed life. Lets hope it continues. I pray my students don't watch these videos.
I really love watching Stu I have learned allot from him. Very pleasant and polite but this segment... there is something not right with body language etc..
@@JohnnyL6975 absolutely I have worked on boats for 15years professionally (more like 20 if you count the unprofessional bits) and I can safely say, from what I have seen, he is a man after my own heart.
Stu age and grumpy go together as we become less inhibited with life's frustrations . It's when your body starts to betray you that really gets you. Don't burn the candle on both ends, walk away and come back to it. Thanks for the tear down on the Yamaha it was a treat!
I found Stu while searching for help rebuilding an Evinrude 150. His heart of a teacher kept me interested in his channel. His sense of humor makes us kindred spirits. Probably the best video he's made. LOVE the way he nonchalantly tosses tools and parts as he dismantles this engine. And to have the "Can Do" attitude when creating his own tools to get the job done - True Dangar Island style. Keep it up!!
very impressed with how you seemingly never drop fasteners in the drink when doing on boat motor work. I drop stuff in the shop and driveway every time the cowl is off.... 🍺
Stu, I personally enjoy these more DIYer type videos on outboards more than some of the others and thank you for another of these. Your commentary and makeshift tools (loved the safety glasses!) are great and add to their enjoyment. Thanks again!
I have successfully rebuilt 1 suzuki dt 8 and done numerous succesfull repairs thanks to this guy getting me going. Great channel....a real mechanic dropping knowledge. Everyone is scared to do this stuff, scared to fail but the resources are out there to learn.
OK, many cautions thrown to the wind in this one but, the scariest was the unsecured plate steel in the drill press. I've done the exact same thing and had the workpiece catch and turn into a meat grinder.
I am an older and more grumpy man, but fully appreciate that you tackled this try-kill motor in details with bare feet and very earthy shop. Last week, I opened a running newer 90hp dry-kill motor with top piston slapping noise, all 3 holes with 120 lbs and top cylinder light scores. I coated 8 mil OD Cerekote to top piston skirt and 2 mils OD on lower 2 skirts to even out 3 pistons to wall gaps. Now motor runs normal again.
Boy that brings back memories... from when I worked for Kingco Marine. We got a few outboards and sterndrives in that were used, abused and neglected. Then you have the owner telling you they don't know how it happened or what ever. Stu you don't owe us anything. I thank you for sharing your time and energies with us.
Playing Trivial Pursuits the other day, A question that came up was How does Dangar Stu still have All His toes. Amazingly not a single person knew the answer.
These are the kinds of videos I loved and miss watching. That being said I still love that the channel has been able to grow and you can do so many other things! Thank you!
Hey Stu, thanks for this video. Have to say you have that air about you that I have when I am tired and stressed. Adding to the voices that say you have more than payed back any investment made by patreons and sponsors, no obligations at all. Look after yourself!
I had several chuckles during the disassembly. It reminded me of when I first started working on outboards! Need a tool.., make a tool.., then modify that tool again for another use. Keep well!
This is how real men fix their motors! Love to see that you are doing outboard stuff again. Have missed it a lot. Looking forward to see the assembly! Thanks for the video ☺️
You know Stu, when you are in this mode. Sometimes the best sides of your "roll with it caracther" shines the most. See you are a bit down and tired, but your genius comes out so clearly when not held back. Sometimes a bit of grumpynes is what the world needs. Thanks for the education (it was real great) and the hilarius humor, loved it.
thanks for your post. it reminds me of my youth when i spent happy days on the water. i thought i could fix any outboard engine...... was i ever wrong.......... didnt have the internet to help me out. you are a great source of knowledge and perseverance. keep safe . from sea isle city new jersey USA dennis
I must saying, being able to google almost any problem these days has made repairing things a lot easier, but sadly we seem to live in a disposable society more than ever.
There are some great videos on UA-cam and most of them are yours Stu. However, occasionally one comes along which shines above the rest. This, for me, is one of those. Your charisma, your humour and, not least your endless deep knowledge of all things marine, especially outboards (which is such a help to so many of us) plus your ability to make my exercise routine go quickly (not to mention it's just the right length) are such a boon; especially in these times. Finally, your "can do", innovative approach is not only refreshing but inspiring. Thanks Stu!
I got a boat with a Johnson 175 that had not been started in seven years going just from watching your videos last year. Didnt get to take it out last year because of transfer ownership delays. Now its boating season again in canada and boat is ready to go. Appreciate your videos and content, helped me out big time.
You are an amazingly clever, knowledgable and resourceful mechanic. Thanks for the great strip-down and all your remarks in between explaining how things work in a two-stroke motor. If it wasnt for the price of petrol, I wouldnt bother going for a four stroke but would keep my good old Yamaha 2 stroke for many many years. I truly enjoyed viewing this and actually all of your videos. One comment from my side. You can definitely further improve on your work efficiency and speed by employing some basic inventory management system in your garage, by tidying things up there and putting the extra effort to keep it this way! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience with us, truly appreciate your open and insightful comments during the creation of these videos.
Great video and learned so much. One more thing, Sir: I've watched all the episodes of MacGuyver and not even Mac dared hacking together a pair of safety glasses. You are now Legend.
Stu, you are the funniest and most competent Boat driver/chicken rancher Aussie that I have ever seen. I love your videos. Makes for a little humor and education for these times.
I usually use a 3 leg puller until my last rebuild which was a submerged unit. Built a puller like you just did wound it up tight, let it sit for 2 days with wd40. Then wound it up tighter again them gave the centre bolt a good whack with hammer and it popped off. Happy days and was very surprised. PS. Glad to see you back Stu.
Yep, patience can go a long way with these types of jobs. Just decommisioned your water tank yesterday getting ready to put two large ones it. It was a great help to get us through until now. Thank you!
@@DangarMarine it is, I used to own a Detailing business and had people knock on our house door on weekends to get their cars done.. can't turn down a full day's work when it pays the bills. But sometimes I just had to say no and have a me day.
@@DangarMarine absolutely 100% TRUE ! I hear yah man...I also run my own business and the clock never stops .... sometimes it's best to just take a break....take a load off...get back to a good frame of mind...no worries...we'll all be here when you return.
Just waiting for that metal to snatch. Amazing how outboard can be written off yet all the bolts come out without snapping off. I’ve never seen you tackle a rotter when half the bolts snap off. Glad to see you back on an outboard and your creative work bench is just like mine 👍👍👍👍
Like old times: you working on an abused outboard. That was a very clear explanation. Thanks also for making me feel not so bad about my workshop. I need to make myself a copy of Adrian's sign: The job is not done until the tools are put away.
I had a good laugh with the Dangar-style safety glasses! Good to see you back to those good old outboards. You always find good tricks to have the job done. That reminds me my father who was a mechanic by profession. Please keep us posted if you get to bring everything back together and make this engine run again.
I always leave the gear out of the water when the engine is not in use, to avoid all the crud building up and keep the water inlets clear and open... This was nasty!
I am heartened to see someone with organizational skills the likes of myself! My shop is pretty badly strewn about as well. About the only time it gets organized and cleaned is when I cannot find my tools anymore. Great vid as always Stu.
A place for everything and everything in its place ! Stu you are a model of workshop organisation. Every red blooded Ozzie will be proud! I see now why Quanta had their fleet maintained in the UK !!!!
If he can't afford to repair it he should think on he couldn't afford to neglect it in the first place. Still it good to see you playing with the old stuff. I do that for a mate of mine on his garden machinery, he breaks it and i fix it. Good stuff carry on abusing the tools.
Stu, you can technically 'crack' your own bearings. Take a cheap diamond bur on a Dremel, lightly score 2 lines where you'd like it to separate. Then line it up in the press, wrap a rag around it and lovingly pop it. It's impressive, fractures just like the factory ones. That bad bearing you pulled out is a perfect candidate for practice or just for fun. It does matter which way you squeeze it because it can distort it before it cracks. I believe the winning combination was crack line at the bottom and the other at the top. I then placed a drill bit shank between the arbor and top line to 'encourage' it. Food for thought, love your videos.
@@markaoslo5653 Ever watch Fitzee Fabrications? He mig welds all the time with out a helmet/shield and has never had any issues. He says he is always in the shadow of the gun.
Must be so frustrating to have to work on neglected outboards as some people have more money than sense. You do the right thing by them and it’s never really appreciated as they look at the cost, not the expertise you have. Thanks for the videos, I do appreciate it.
After the first one, I tie a fishing line or para cord to tool or which ever tool I'm using in the water. Still doesn't help if the nut removing the bolt falls in.
I agree with Nigel, Old school Stu is an absolute hoot. Our American OHSA would have an absolute COW about your workplace safety. But screw em. Highly entertaining and informative. And I love the chicken stuff at the end. PM me if you ever get to NW Florida and need a place to stay.
LOL.. this video did my head in! I laughed I cried... Clean your bench, stop throwing the tools, put the parts into a tub or in order, stop throwing the screws anywhere... oh those safety glasses!! maybe you should clean some of those leaves of the roof so it doesn't rust out on you, plus it is a little bit of a fire hazard. Love ya work :-) keep at it..
It will be a miracle to get the engine running again as all parts, bolts, screws, cables and other random stuff is all over your tidy and clean working environment.
When I had my boat I gave in to the fact I needed three sets of tools. One for Work one at home and the other on the boat. It made my life a lot easier.
@@DangarMarine ...hey !!! Thanks for the fun ...you got it good ...we don't do bare feet around here ...really enjoy and learn from your videos ...your work is A1A good fun and good attention to detail. Thanks from Utah!!!
Sorry to hear it. The world is a crazy place right now. Stay focussed and leverage what you have in this channel all the way! You haven’t scratched the surface yet!
@@DangarMarine I imagine doing youtube videos with trying to have a normal life can be overwhelming. Your channel is the one of the few I look forward to. We love you man!
"Let's explore an outboard..." actually lots of fun, but hard to convince my brother who owns the outboard to give it a go. Watching this is a good compromise.
I forgot how much I missed old skool stu....the dodgey tools, the thrills, the chills, all the ups and downs. I like the renko stuff, but getting back to the roots once in a while is excellent.

I agree with Nigel, Old school Stu is an absolute hoot. Our American OHSA would have an absolute COW about your workplace safety. But screw em. Highly entertaining and informative. And I love the chicken stuff at the end. PM me if you ever get to NW Florida and need a place to stay.
Thanks Gary, much appreciated! Would love to go diving in Florida one day. :)
Also - loved the look on your face after showing the broken vice.
It only just clicked how fitting your intro music is to a slow camera pass of the LTD
You and I think a lot alike , but I will say those safety glasses were awesome I will remember them for a long time, great video, absolutely classic.
LOL.. this video did my head in! I laughed I cried... Clean your bench, stop throwing the tools, put the parts into a tub or in order, stop throwing the screws anywhere... oh those safety glasses!! maybe you should clean some of those leaves of the roof so it doesn't rust out on you, plus it is a little bit of a fire hazard. Love ya work :-) keep at it..
One thing at a time. I'll stop throwing screws. ;)
One thing for sure - when you tidy the garage you will deffo never find anything ever again. But if you do the job logically it will never get done.
Your atention to the use of the correct PPE is to be commended!
Lmao, this was somewhat akin to an episode of Jeremy Clarkson on Top gear doing routine maintenance on his daily driver. Loved it Stu.
Glad you enjoyed it!
It will be a miracle to get the engine running again as all parts, bolts, screws, cables and other random stuff is all over your tidy and clean working environment.
It’s only an outboard. It doesn’t have that many parts. You set the bar for miracle very low.
When I had my boat I gave in to the fact I needed three sets of tools. One for Work one at home and the other on the boat. It made my life a lot easier.
It sure gets they way otherwise the tool you need is always somewhere else.
@@DangarMarine If you're 20 miles off shore it's a long walk home :)
You have outdone yourself with this !!! Way too much fun !!! ...my backyard only snowmobiles : ) ...thanks for the fun !!
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
@@DangarMarine ...hey !!! Thanks for the fun ...you got it good ...we don't do bare feet around here ...really enjoy and learn from your videos ...your work is A1A good fun and good attention to detail. Thanks from Utah!!!
Stu you didn't seem like yourself in this video. Hope everything is ok.
Been a bit down lately but slowly pulling myself out of it.
Sorry to hear it. The world is a crazy place right now. Stay focussed and leverage what you have in this channel all the way! You haven’t scratched the surface yet!
@@DangarMarine I imagine doing youtube videos with trying to have a normal life can be overwhelming. Your channel is the one of the few I look forward to. We love you man!
"Let's explore an outboard..." actually lots of fun, but hard to convince my brother who owns the outboard to give it a go. Watching this is a good compromise.
Seek forgiveness not permission. ;)
