Installing the rudder and antifouling the propeller

In this video I finish installing the propeller shaft and timber rubbing strips then anti foul the propeller with Prop Shield (www.prop-shield.com/) and then install the rudder.
At the end I also inflate the new tender for the tawler and show the Tohatsu 6HP that will be powering it.

Forget all the boat stuff. Now I know how the filmmakers create those creepy swamp scenes with the bubbling steamy water!

[@mikedillon6233]

I honestly can't tell you how much I've enjoyed watching you take this barely floating hull, and turn it into a functional, well built, machine again. I enjoy watching somebody who's truly skilled, with a can do attitude, get the job done.

[@DangarMarine]

Thanks mate. I do feel it is a bit more seaworthy now. :)

[@davebrittain9216]

Must have been quite satisfying for you to see that prop and rudder back in place all redone. When the engine is in and everything is all connected that will be another nice bit of satisfaction.

[@DangarMarine]

Yes, having bits going in rather than coming out feels much better.

[@ludrock2]

You won't regret getting the inflatable. They're so easy to haul on deck when towing isn't an option. Just one tip when towing the inflatable. I rigged a bridal from the rear handles along the sides and through the front D ring, to cut down the load on the the single D ring. When towing with the outboard on the transom, it will significantly increase the strain on that single front ring, and the bridal set up will take a lot of load off it. Loving your videos mate. Thanks for allowing us to share your journey.

[@DangarMarine]

I've really enjoying using the inflatable and I think it is going to be a great tender. Good tip about sharing the load so the front D doesn't get ripped out. That wouldn't be a great day.

[@ackeheh]

I think i've watched too many dangar marine videos, cause stu just appeared in my dream. Only it was a more angry version of stu. He was angry because he just lost an auction on a bike that he was already starting to take apart. And he unleashed his fury on me the seller.

[@DangarMarine]

I’m still angry about it!

[@mrmidnight32]

Stu this thing looks fucking amazing! And you’re not even done. I bet the owner wants his vessel back 😂 You’re the man! You give me hope in any boat with a little hard work my man!

[@DangarMarine]

Thanks mate. I do feel the boat has turned a bit of a corner now. :)

[@daleskidmore1685]

It is good seeing stuff go back on permanently. That was a chorus of approval from the pelicans on the launch of Red Dwarf.

[@DangarMarine]

They probably think I'm providing a new toilet for them! :O

[@youdotoo3]

Glad to see the D71 again.

[@mateodiego3481]

Awesome progress. Can't wait to see it back in the water.

[@COYOTE5053]

The Red Dwarf, I love it!!!

[@shaenj]

No celebrating the prop going in!. I was all ready to watch that. Cold beer and all. I was diddled!

[@TheGuruStud]

by a priest?

[@caseydixon8714]

If you want steering and maneuverability. You can always put a flap on it on the back like a a plane wing. They make a huge difference. All the crayfish boats have them here in nz.

[@DangarMarine]

Yes, keen to give that a go after a while so I can compare the difference.

[@Knarf2285]

I am disappointed that we didn't get to see that beast of a prop shaft go in. LOL

[@wewd]

KZbin doesn't allow porn, mate. 🤣

[@pete-mate3524]

Hey Stu, love the channel! An old trick a grey haired man once told me, as a good 'marine grade' anti seize, mix black molly grease at 50% with roofing tar. The tar seals and water-proofs the item and the grease stops it from hardening......ever!! I have tried this and it works remarkably well. I'm a diesel fitter with about 30+ years as a tradesman, so have a bit of an idea about some stuff!! Good luck, keep up the good work.

[@DangarMarine]

Cool, I'll give it a try. :)

[@supershane1960]

Mate, the pelicans weren't complaining, they were celebrating the launch... ;-}

[@DangarMarine]

That was Pelican for “Hooray!” ;)

[@mrwideboy]

I just found watching Stu building this trawler so relaxing

[@ExilSvensk]

Had to watch this again in order to get my weekly Dangar Marine fix satisfied.

[@geraldswain3259]

Stu ,those little Tohatsu motors are superb, had three of their engine's in the family now and will not be changing .

[@Freedeeism]

I still got my -82 Yamaha

[@mikedillon6233]

Man those guys did a really nice job on that Detroit Diesel! It's nice to see high-quality work!

[@DangarMarine]

They sure did, can't wait to get the engine back now.

[@romeowhiskey1146]

Cooper's 2 course meal for LUNCH...4 course for dinner, no doubt. Keep the GREAT WORK coming! WHO knew that building a trawler took SO MUCH effort.

[@DangarMarine]

I certainly didn't!

[@bowmaster24]

I wish the time at my day job went by as fast as these 20 minute videos. Best series on KZbin!

[@edwardmclaughlin6126]

Best birthday present I could have hoped for, a new Dangar Marine video. Three hours, 10k views, I remember not too long ago, when you had 10 subscribers. Continued success, to one of my favorite tubers.

[@DangarMarine]

Happy birthday! :)

[@michaelberry950]

Dry ice - a perfect compliment to your sense of humor ( - :

[@miguelfatman6066]

So glad that prop shaft went in for you Stu, could have been a real problem is it had bound up in there, well done mate 👍

[@DangarMarine]

Yes, I was glad when it went all the way in!

[@williamfoster4268]

Hello from the USA! I really enjoy watching you put this boat back together.

[@jeeperscreatures]

another great video.....Dang !....Can hardly wait for the next one. Please make them longer

[@DangarMarine]

Yes, lost a bit of footage this week due to camera problems.

[@xsbuilder1]

That is real progress! Starting to look like she's ready for sea. Oh yeah, I do have one of the same Tohatsu 6's , the sail version. But, it is crocked up now. I left it idling in a tub to flush it, but the tub had developed a hole so the water ran out. When I got back to it, the motor had seized. I can pull it through but the piston does not move freely. I wish I lived down under, so maybe I could get you to work on it. LOL

[@DangarMarine]

Thanks mate. That's a bummer about your outboard. Should be fixable though depending on how old it is.

[@xsbuilder1]

@@DangarMarine It is 5 years old and has between 40 and 50 hours on it. Maybe I'll get into it and see what I can find. I certainly can't make it any worse. Thanks for the advice.

[@bajatuna]

I’m glad I saw you wearing eye protection when you were cleaning up the prop with the grinder. I cringe when you don’t. Personal experience. Fantastic progress! You inspire us weekend warriors.👍

[@mikella959]

always click on your videos as soon as they pop up cant wait to see the finished product

[@billiondollardan]

You're totally right, man. This project is really lookin great, isn't it?

[@DangarMarine]

Thanks Mike!

[@MrEzYCJ]

Same here been watching from the start well done on what you have done so fair

[@couerl]

Me too, I wonder how much he's got into her so far? Looks like he can make a little go a long ways.

[@tonycollins7965]

Hi Stu, Just an observation. When I installed the rudder on my 45ft narrow boat, I dropped three 1/4" loose ball bearings in the cup so that the rudder post sat on them and the "rolling resistance" was reduced. I am not suggesting you take it all apart again to do this, but it certainly made life easier at the helm.

[@DangarMarine]

I like that idea. It's only a five minute job to get the rudder out and in again, I might look into doing something like that.

[@robp7652]

that does sound like a cool idea

[@argtv100]

They threw me into rehab this week when they found out I'd bought another boat. Sorry Stu, but when they grilled me as to why I had fallen so far backwards into my horrible boat affliction, I blamed it all on you. Now I must be very careful in here lest they find me watching your videos, but I do so enjoy them. Thanks buddy, oh, I mean mate.

[@DangarMarine]

Sorry to have set you back mate. Just watch on your phone in the toilets with headphones on. ;)

[@argtv100]

@@DangarMarine will do !!!

[@MrCalifornia1234]

My daughter loves the prop color. 👍

[@handsonwithblg4949]

Everyone knows the color red adds five knots to any boat . Stripes add fifteen more ! Don't over do it or the hull won't touch the water at full power . LOL Lookin' great Brother ! And glad to see yall still happy !

[@joecucch8261]

Good job getting that shaft to slide up into the tube using the dry ice. I bet that ...ahem...soda pop was chilled properly as well...

[@lsswappedcessna]

This boat just keeps looking better and better!

[@KowboyUSA]

Getting close to the finish line! Well, there's never really a "finish line" with boats, but that day when she's water worthy and ready _to sail_ is drawing nearer.

[@davidharlem6824]

Love the beer in the dry ice mate - no end to your ingenuity and sense of humour - love it!

[@gregeconomeier1476]

Good video. You are a working machine! I suggest consider moving the sacrifical zinc on the rudder. The current position is in the area of maximum water flow from the prop. Maybe move it to the top or bottom of the rudder where the water flow will be less disrupted by the zinc. Best regards, Greg

[@DangarMarine]

Yes, will swap it for something smaller down the track too.

[@Dan_C604]

Another great video, and getting closer to the big splash, can’t wait! And while all this is taking shape, 2 cold ones in dry ice is just priceless!

[@therealryan55]

Haircut looks great! 💇‍♂️

[@rickf5615]

@Happy McJoyjoy He did but he had a 5:00 shadow by 10:00am!!! I was in the military with a poor guy like that, they made him shave twice a day in basic training.

[@captdonformulapacific228]

Hi Stu, Nice work she is going along beautifully. Just an Idea for all the panels and add ones in the engine bay and anywhere on the troller- rubber mount anything you can that's not welded on, it will help reduce vibration noise.

[@DangarMarine]

Yes, good rubber mounting can go a long way to reducing noise.

[@vorden25]

You got yourself a red rocket!

[@hammer9390]

Great video, Stu. If you have time, how about a video of you taking the new inflatable out for a test ride. Thanks for the intro to Project Brupeg, have been binge watching the channel.

[@TimsWorkshopTJY]

By the looks of it's my guess is he will be running it back and forth to the trawler from the Island

[@DangarMarine]

Yes, will definitely be out for a ride in the inflatable soon!

[@LifeOnTheHulls]

Love the shaft install technique with the dry ice Stu.

Yes, just can't use ordinary hull antifoul.

When you were carrying the "Red Dwarf" on your back to the water, all I could think of was the pioneeer aviators with their wings strapped on, about to leap off the high ground. Wishing you a soft landing and a water tight hull.
