DangarStu and Eddie in the workshop

From the workshop to the water

For more than ten years and 74 million views, DangarStu, a mechanic and commercial skipper on Dangar Island near Sydney, has filmed the repairs, restorations and salvage jobs that keep boats running, with Eddie never far away. This site gathers them into a guide you can work through, with reference articles, a forum for the questions the videos don't answer, and Eddie to point you to the right video.

The channel is supported by MarineEngine.com and Raymarine. More about the guide ›
