From the workshop to the water

About Dangar Marine

I'm DangarStu, a mechanic and commercial boat skipper on Dangar Island, near Sydney, Australia. For more than ten years I've filmed the repairs, restorations and salvage jobs that keep boats running for the Dangar Marine YouTube channel: hundreds of how-to videos on outboard and inboard engines, diesels, electrics and electronics, usually with Eddie not far away. I'm also passionate about underwater exploration and salvage from Renko, the steel fishing trawler I restored.

This website

This site gathers the videos into something you can work through, to help boat owners who do their own work diagnose, repair and maintain their boats and install new equipment:

• The guide takes you through a problem step by step, from the whole boat down to the part, with the videos that show each fix.
• The map shows every topic at once, for when you already know where you need to go.
• Search finds the moment in any video where something is said, and AI Eddie answers questions from the videos and the guide, linking to the part of each video that shows it.
• Reference articles cover the facts you keep looking up, from wiring colours to model codes.
• The forum is for the questions the videos don't answer, and to share your own repairs.

Dangar Marine merchandise is available from our Fourthwall shop.

MarineEngine.com has been helping boat owners and mechanics to find the right parts, tools, accessories, and repair manuals and guides since 1999, and sells everything needed to cover maintenance, tune-up, and overhaul of most common inboard and outboard engines. Once the guide has helped you figure out what's wrong, head over to MarineEngine.com's parts and catalog start page or their selection of boat motor repair manuals to get what you need.

They sell a wide range of discount boat parts, from electrical components, to fuel tanks and pumps, covers and seats, trailering supplies and more, along with the cleaning, safety and sanitation supplies you need to maintain your boat (see the boat accessories page).

Raymarine, part of Teledyne FLIR, designs and builds marine electronics for everything from small runabouts to large cruising boats: Axiom chartplotters, Quantum radar, sonar, Evolution autopilots, VHF radios and FLIR thermal cameras, all connected over Raymarine's SeaTalk NG network.

Raymarine designed the navigation electronics system on Renko, and the guide's navigation electronics section is built around Raymarine's wiring diagram of it, from the Axiom Pro chartplotters and Quantum 2 Doppler radar to the sonar, autopilot and cameras. Each part links to videos on installing it, networking it and getting it set up properly. To find out more about Raymarine's products or find a dealer near you, visit raymarine.com.

Using the site on the boat

Once you've opened the site, the guide works without an internet connection, so you can still look things up out on the water with no phone signal. Only the videos and Eddie's answers need a connection. To keep it on your phone like an app, open it in Safari on an iPhone and choose Share, then Add to Home Screen, or in Chrome on Android choose Install app from the menu.
