"Need to get that pin in straight away....so I'll get it next week." Haha!

Just a thought. If you have to leave something undone, just tie a piece of fluorescent plastic tape to it. Easy to see and a good reminder.
Good way to go for sure.
Eddy and the angle grinder were the hero’s of this video. Hope your legs ok :)
Thanks for the shout out!! I’m going to do an inframe on my personal 6-71 in my bus this week. If you had any questions about anything in the process let me know and I’ll try to film it for you. I’m finally home off the road for two weeks so it’s going to be a father son project.
Thanks Scott, I really appreciate that. Maybe we could find a way to do a vid together while I am in the US in September. That would be fun! :)
I’ve just been alerted that 13 hours Stu released a new clip and already 27k people have viewed it. WOW!
I am not alone in the love of this project and the DangarStu delivery! Cheers Stu.
It was really nice of you guys to show us the kangaroos. I haven't been to Australia yet, so seeing such a beautiful animal is just so cool! The real star of the show in my opinion is Ed. He's just a good old mutt who loves his dad. I have one myself and she's my best friend. Thank you for the excellent content.
Saw a good trick on a sailing channel: On a shaft seal arrangement such as your rudder seal, one can "queue up" a couple of spare seals on the shaft, ready to go. If the seal leaks you gouge it out, cut it off the shaft, and simply slip the next one home. Potentially saves heaps of dismantling and reassembly.
This vid has EVERY-THING! Power Tools.....Personal Injury by power tools, Brush melting in acid....and Ed having a spa day / mud bath. And that's just in the first 9 minutes.
marine .com has been 1 of my go to for parts long before i found ur content
I know nothing about steel hull boats beyond what I learned from your channel and a bit of Googling. Despite that, or maybe because of it, I love watching you work on your boat.
What I like most about your vids is that you don't shy away from showing the uh-ohs, oopsies, and I don't knows. Good on ya, mate.
If I didn't show the mistakes there wouldn't be any footage left. ;)
"A win..." damn near the funniest thing I seen in a while. Absolutely love your channel. Keep it up!!
Looks like the dog is wearing hip waders. "Bus Grease Monkey" is another great information vlog. The job is coming along very well.
You have exploded in viewership. Great Chanel
As an experiment, i gave the prop on my sailboat a layer of LANOLIN this year as protection against growth and barnacles. Time will tell if it works!
Congratulations on 100k!
It will be interesting to see!
Ouch! I know exactly how your going to feel tonight when your trying to get some sleep an "Oh, the pain!" Not through nerve induction but from damaged tissue! Heal well! Thanks, Tim
I am starting to enjoy your safety tips..With my environmental advice this will be the go to site for health and safety and environment!
I have heard of putting blood, sweat, and tears in to a job, but Stu you are going all out.
Blood, sweat & BEERS!!!!
I like watching you work on your boat.
Then I don't work on mine....
Good to see Sleazy again! You're making it look to easy! Thanks Stu and congratulations on 100k!!
Glad you remember it. :)
About time someone showed those vizi vest health and safety lot how wrong they are. Lots done. Over here you can get a can of stuff that freezes pipes, plumbers use it. Congrats on the subs.
Congratulations on hitting 100,000 subscribers!
You are the only guy I know that can take a wire-wheel to the shin and still call it a win :)
Oh...don't forget to by more gloves on Monday!
Thanks mate, just writing my shopping list now. :)
One of the boat repair guides online. Lovely work STU we really appreciate you passing on your knowledge. Just be a little more safe for your fans at least, we dont want to miss any videos while you recover !! :D :D :D
All right then, just for you. ;)
'I need to get a new wire wheel as my old one keeps throwing out pieces of flesh' LOL Congratulations mate 110k!!!!
Hey Stu. If its Monday this is your reminder to go buy some GLOVES. 😁👍 hope that helps a bit. Love the longer video. The progress is fantastic.
Thanks Buck!
If you know anyone with some old CO2 fire extinguishers that are needing a service / recharge - use them to "spray" the prop shaft to cool it down rapidly and without mess or the hassle of handling dry ice and getting it to stay in location.
And awesome sauce on the 100K..
Pity about the green machine - the 100K plaque from youTube would have looked great mounted to the dashboard... LOL
I’m learning the best life lessons from you: shinguards and paintbrushes and phosphoric acid!
Use an air chisel with a bolt and socket on the end to move that prop shaft in, Works great for bearings and ujoints as well....
Congratulations on 100k!!! Great content mate!!! Cheers
101k, actually.
@26:35 "...it's really important that you kinda do that stuff straight away cause if you half finish a job like this it's really easy to forget so I'll definitely do it next week."
lol
Great to see you went with stainless choice, wont have drama with it again.
3 cheers for the Roos! As a member of the “International Audience” , I’m pleased to report the kangaroo segment was a “family favorite!” Great job!
Holy s#it Stu!!! 100k subscribers!!!! Man, so many congratulations are in order. Couldn’t think of a channel or creator more deserving. Hard work pays off. Next stop 250!
Thanks mate!
Having Eddie ride in the Land Rover was a definite boost. You keep that up you'll be at 200,000 subscribers before you know it. Keep up the great content I really appreciate it thank you
Love when 2 of my channels come together. An Australian boat guy and a bus guy from the states. Awesome!
Silver play button!!!
This is the best video of a dog that I have seen in awhile. 1:00
Thanks mate!
it is always nice to prove some-one wrong through your own pain - I'm sure they said " bugger Stu was right "
I'm sure ;)
What a great combination, an individual who enjoys filming while also being a master shade tree mechanic!
It's ALWAYS good to see your Daft Dog Eddie - he's an absolute treasure!
If nothing else your vids have completely vaccinated me against ever getting a boat... Great videos, mate!
Hi Stu. Woohoo! 100k! Congrats! Good progress on the boat, it's coming together. Get that split pin in right away next week, and don't forget the gloves on Monday. Eddie's a really dangerous dog, draggin' all that mud around. You'll need to put a mudroom into the boat for him. Dodgy sunnies mate, reminds me of Max Headroom...your way too young to know him. Good to see you with your feet up for a change. Stay safe and keep up the good work. 🐕⚓👍
I wish I was, but I remember Max Headroom well!
Eddie is a bit of a quiet achiever... what a legend. Great seeing your videos, I look forward to seeing them each week so thankyou for entertaining & educating us at the same time. Congrats on 100k subscribers but I've got a feeling you'll end up with a lot more yet... and watch out for those drop bears...
Thanks mate. Eddie a funny little dog. I'll have to pinch him more often.
What an awesome episode of Dangar marine today, with Eddie, kangaroos and a boat almost ready to splash. Congratulations mate, keep up the good work!
Great work Stu. Gotta love a "jaunty angle".
100K subscribers?!?! Yahoo!! Great job! A lot of us out here cheering you on.
Glad you spoke with Jeff at PYS. I've been watching all of his videos and studying his articles as I prepare to rewire my sailboat. He seems like a really smart guy and likes to help DIYers as well. Double win.
Another interesting vid, a tip my grandfather told me,when using linseed oil add some turps to thin it,makes it soak in better. keep up the good work,can't wait to see it back floating and running.
Jeff knows his stuff , and has a great way of explaining it.
Great vid again and congratulations on the 100k subscribers.
One thing I used to do in the yard were I worked, was to use a coarse wet and dry paper with loads of water, even a slightly running hose ( or bucket of sea water ), this would clean a prop really quickly.
I used that method on some fairly sizeable props, including the two local All Weather Lifeboats, down here in Kinsale southern Ireland. We used to haul, powerwash, antifoul, do the props and grounding plates ( same wet and dry paper ), and have them back in the water in about 2hrs 45mins. Those props never got antifouled, but were polished quite well and twice a year.
You could also use an air sander with the wet and dry or use a scotch bright pad again plenty of water.
Lovely bit of natural history content too.😎
Thanks mate, appreciate the advice. This will be a job for early next week. :)
I look forward to seeing all of your videos and you made my day by uploading, thank you for all the hard work you do
You're welcome mate, glad you enjoy.
A bunch of Roos is called a mob. Congrats on 100k subs mate.
Glad to see Junkyard Dog again
You may want to weld a keeper over the top of the connecting pin for your steering. If the cotter pin falls out the connecting pin could work itself out. A small piece of angle iron should do the trick. Just cut it off when you go to service the rudder next time. We used a forklift to push in our prop shafts. We also welded some padeyes onto the hull and shaft to attach winches or comealongs. :) Maybe a little late for that piece of advice :)
When you go to connect the prop shaft to the gear make sure the shaft coupling is nice and square. Sometimes the keyway will slide towards the prop when you install the coupling. Couple the shaft and the gear and get it as tight as you can by hand. Spin the shaft around three times. It will find it's happy place on the bearings then give it the final torque on the coupling. Worked great for us up in the Arctic. :)
I'll save the full safety lecture for another time but for crissakes put on your safety glasses when grinding.
I wish I had started keeping a list of the things you are saving for "next year" when I first started watching your fascinating series. I hope the savings in hard stand fees once n the mooring adds up to the demurred costs. :)
Yes, I'm hoping to be using the boat within a month or two, but there is a lot more work to do over the next few years.
And massive congratulations on reaching 100k subscribers.
Thanks mate!
i thought i saw a kangaroo once, turned out it was a greyhound having a shit. Great vid my mate. Greetings from Liverpool.
LOL
Did someone steel the legs off him while he was having a shit ?
Hahaha
@@peteramberley9952 We haven't got time for stealing any more, we're to busy winning European cups. YNWA.
@@johnhughes8772 just banter 😜im a reds fan jft96
Congrats on reaching 100k subscribers ! Nice to see that people in Australia have pet troubles, too. Can we surmise that you chucked Ed into the deep water for a short swim prior to heading home that day ?
Thanks Stan. Ed is actually Dave's dog so I just gave him back and said sorry. ;)
First buy a faceshield ,I was a welder fabricator for most of my life and had to see other people suffer eye injuries ! I think I would fix the prop nut in case you ever hit something . Like the show , you are very good at repairing parts to make them serviceable !
I think replacing that whole prop shaft is going to be my only option unfortunately. At least that would also fix the problem with the end being worn narrower than the rest of the shaft too.
Great videos! I used to sell Perkins engines to boat builders in Florida...was also a service manager and knew a lot of the guys (and girls) in the boating industries. Takes me back. Good job! Wish I could have been there too. Cheers.
Hey mate be careful with the dry ice. Don't put any inside the boat. Or on the deck of the boat it is heavier than air and it will seek the low spots. It will displace the oxygen with CO2 and can be deadly. Good show today. Congratulations on 100K!
Yep, definitely something to be careful about, particularly when working on your own.
Mangrove mud Eddie, gotta love him.
OUCH! Greetings from Canada, eh! Close call with the wire brush! So glad your weren't hurt any worse. I look forward to watching your videos every week. Cheers!
Someone already mentioned it but wear some safety glasses when using those wire wheels, I was on a job where a guy got a piece of wire embedded in his eye.
Love your dry sense of humour and the way you always have a beer while you work!,
Keep em coming,cheers
Every time Eddie (sp?) is on screen my Edward perks up and pays keen attention 😂😂🐕🐕
I'll tell him he's got a fan. :)
I don't know about any other subscribers, but I'm getting very excited now. Each part that you re-assemble is adding fuel to my anticipation of the back in the water stage of work. Sure happy you found those pesky seals. Really feel for your trouble with that prop shaft. Your idea to ice it down seems to be working. Fingers are crossed for your success with that!
Hahahaa! I had a good laugh at watching fluffy wading in that black mud! All I could say is, "Oh NO!", then laugh some more! Also loved your video clips of those cute 'Roos. They are most curious creatures. Did I mention how much I love your videos? You are getting so good with what you shoot and how you present it. Thank you so much. Oh, and I just couldn't get enough of your visit with Damian and Jess. They both are so precious and I never miss a thing they do on their rig. I know you really enjoyed that visit. That visit has been a high point in both of your channels. Here's waiting for the next great visit with them. Until the next video!
Thanks mate. Glad to hear you've been enjoying the vids. :)
Love those shades!! Man, that is looking so good...what a difference. you've got so much to be proud of, what a project and the progress! Oh, and keep tossing the odd tune of yours into the vids....love that one when you were wire wheeling the prop. Awesome job!
Thanks mate. It is slowly starting to get there!
Congrats on 100k Stu, and thanks for helping me keep my boat right side up! Love the content, so happy you've been able to make a great community like this!
Thanks mate, and you are most welcome. :)
Congrats on reaching 100k subs .. You are the only down to earth DIY On youtube ho is not afraid of sharing your mistakes . that's cool that i can kind of lorn from them and love the bear thing on your vids hehe ..

Greetings and respect from Denmark
Thanks Kristian, glad you're enjoying the vids! :)
Great episode! Not sure what was the better part....the dog going for a muck or the grinder shin hickey incident. 😝. Love the pup, love the boat, love the show! I just wish you were closer....I have a Merc 90 I want you to look at 😬.
I'm glad you're back.
A hard earned 100K. Thank you for the many videos that have helped me so much with my boat!
I would like more video of Eddie. He seems like a wonderful dawg
Great video again . Enjoying it from Florida here . Great to see fire in your eyes again too ! I feel you are about to go crazy on this build . Your puppy is too cool man too . I had a beagle named " Teeth And Fur " used to run the river and get all nasty . Worth it ? YES !!! Keep up the great work Brother !
Thanks mate. I feel like getting towards the end does lift my spirits and get me motivated to get this tub floating again. Lots to do still once it is back on the water but at least it will be usable.
I've been calling your channel Danger Marine for about a year now...
You wouldn't be the only one.
Moooore Eddie! That was hilarious after he walked through the mud and his legs were just little sticks. And congrats on a hundred thousand subscribers!
My brother has had good luck this year with two coats of Pettit Barnacle Barrier followed by four coats of ablative Hydrocote. About a thousand miles so far on his twin engine Grand Banks 42 with hardly any wear.
Interesting info, thanks. :)
Loved Edd looked like a Poll Dorsett sheep!
I feel your pain! Had to put a new cutlass bearing in a 55 foot boat I was working on. That meant pulling the 22 foot long 2 1/2 inch tempaloy shaft. While we had it out the owner paid to have the shaft inspected and built up in worn areas and turned down and then smoothed. (Glad I wasn't paying the bill). Had to do the same as you and pound the new bearing in place though he did have an Allen Key to lock in as well. The shaft was real pain to get in and out due to its length and flexing. Always nice to start going the other way on a boat project!
I'm kinda wishing I had the worn areas built up again now as it would have allowed the bearing to be larger and make it easier to get in. Next time...
You have deserved 100k for years mate good on ya
From Canada, I love your vid's...always like to see my fellow deplorable s without our millions...making do with what we can, alot of grit, and determination...I have built a bus motor home, and a Gibson Houseboat revamp...the rule of thumb I always use...if you run up against it, no matter what, you can always resort to brute force and ignorance...you are definitely the type of guy I would jump in and help out, and put some shrimp on the barbi and one or 12 Fosters at the end of the work day...great vid's...I could watch you work all day and never get tired, plus I have learned alot...good luck on your next 100,000 subs if you don't get taken down for hate speech for talking nasty to a stubborn nut and bolt...god help us...Crack on and good luck from Canada eh!
Thanks Don, glad you've been enjoying the vids. I'll try to avoid too much hate speech towards stuck bolts! :D
You are the reason I have just completely restored and rewired my 1968 cruiser. Its 20 ft with a Yamaha ft 50 high thrust on the back. I am looking forward to getting it on the water tomorrow. Cheers mate, time for a beer I reckon.
Nice one mate. Congratulations on getting it finished. Enjoy the launch day!
@@DangarMarine Its all good so far. Just a test launch and run on a fresh water canal. I like to do that before I launch it at coast. Congratulations on 100k. I am inspired to start a channel. I am a marine mechanic, welder, gas fitter and electrician. If you ever have any questions about LPG systems on boats give me a shout. All the best.
Congrats on the milestone, don't forget gloves and split pin and washer either collective noun for a group of kangaroos is mob, troop or court thanks so much for the entertainment and education
I don't even have a clue as to why I am so addicted to watching this project as I am not a mechanic, but here I am looking forward to each new video. I do have to say you make me nervous watching you use high speed grinders with wire wheels and no safety glasses. Hate to see you catch a wire in the eye. Maybe those sunglasses would do the job?? lol
Thanks mate. Those glasses have got to be better than nothing. ;)
Looks to me both you and the pup need a bath and a cold beer 🍺! Lol. Your just humming along , in no time flat your in the water ! I guess one nice thing about the prop but being welded on is it won’t fall off ! Lol
It certainly won't fall off, that's for sure!
Not much makes me smile anymore but Eddie does. The bit with the grinder too ;)
Whose the idiot? - Eddy just had a pedicure! I'm surprised he didn't rub his face in it. Congrats on the 100k subs - well deserved.
People pay good money for a mud bath.
Anytime blood is drawn it’s usually a productive day.
I always get worried if a little blood doesn't get mixed in with the sweat and tears. It feels like a requirement or a superstition.
Lanolin spray is a good anti-rust spray & lubricant, leaves an oily film on surfaces that you coat, would be good for that flywheel etc, you can get it in pressure pack cans, handy to have a few around & onboard, good to see Eddy.
Yes, have a few cans of Lanox around. Can't beat the fleece grease!
Dearly enjoyed your last video and this one as well. Thank you for introducing us to Damien and Jess. Cool people and a cool project.
Love your Videos, greatings from a soon to be naval architect from Germany :)
Thanks mate. I might need to pick your brains about some mods. ;)
Hi Stu, Its crazy my TH-cam channel is starting to take off finally. The views and subs are growing daily now. Im sure you thought the same thing way back when. It just shows to keep at it and good things will happen
Nice one Tim. That's exactly how it happens. You need to keep producing videos even when things feel like they are going nowhere because if you stop (like most people do) it definitely will go nowhere! Congratulations! :)
I thought so but wanted your opinion. I have 3 channels now and starting to put out a video every Friday. My Fishing channel is on hold due to doing a home remodel but will fire up videos for that in July again
100K! Excellent, and well deserved. Starting to think people will watch anybody work on stuff, as long as they're Australian! I can't give you too much grief about the grinder mishap, I had a 7" Makita grab my shirt and give me a bloody stripe, right across my midsection. Hurts like hell, looks awful, but not very deep. Just deep enough to make a fellow remember...And the glasses definitely up your game, mate!
It's always good to have something to remind you. ;)
No worries about getting the Detroit running once you get into it you find out how easy rebuilding the engine is.
We use to do in frame overhauls in the field on 471 Detroits on terex earth scraping pans all the time. We would piston rod assemble loaded in liners and drop them in block.
It's funny, people often complain about the Detroits being too complex but in many ways they are very simple engines to work on. Thanks again mate!
thanks from an overseas viewer for the Roo's, well done on 100k
I feel like I had a win, proved my point with a cheeky grin
Love it! Hilarious
Old plumbers trick. When changing a tap on a pipe when you can't turn off the water, attach a hose to an LPG cylinder, turn upside down then open cylinder tap slowly. The liquid LP will freeze the water in the pipe, then quickly change tap. What you do with this information is up to you.
That's a nice trick. :)
Great story on the sunnies mate - very few could wear either with style or a straight face, you manage both lol. They double as drop-bear protection, they hate sunlight reflection . . . Congrats on 100k subs!
Great progress this week, Stu. Eddie definitely tried to upstage you this time. Congrats on reaching the 100k subs, too. Also, thanks for thinking about us here in the States with some great video of the local kangaroos. I thought I might suggest you get some extra batteries for the cameras when you order the new charger. Take care and have a good one!
Yeah, you cant have enough charged batteries and memory cards in this game.
Great job on the shaft looks great Danger.
I had the angle grinder tip my thigh and I was so lucky it only tipped it because it was bad enough. I understand accident for sure so don't feel bad we all have them . Anyone that works with tools no matter how safe we work, things can go wrong. It just makes us be more safe. But ouch to you. Lucky you jumped back. Aussie, Aussie, Aussie we are tough people lol.
It's funny, my first instinct was to grab it and then I thought, nah, just get out of the way and turn it off at the wall. :)
