Never move to an island!

[@Fish-please]

i cant decide whats funnier, Stu in his undies or bailing with the transom still underwater with a holy bucket....lmao

[@GenX-65-80]

An Australian saying never move to an island.. LOL That's GOLD

[@philipkaiser5663]

Australia is a continent. On the other hand, everybody is living on an island.

[@coopw101]

Good to have guys like you around Peace and be safe out there.

[@lancer525]

Stu: "Shouldn't have gone swimming, Eddie!" Eddie: "I'm not the one who threw the stick in the water..."

[@royking9961]

Winter! hahahahaha! Winter. Good one! Come to Winnipeg, we'll introduce you to winter...

[@sonofedmund5004]

This reminds me of an incident with my bro, trailer dropped off the slipway. We tried lasooing it, all sorts of messing about. Eventually you realise it's time to strip down to your pants and get in that water! Good job guys, got wet, got the job done!

[@john7017]

Great to see your back, what terrible day for a boat rescue. Glad it all worked out. Enjoy you vacation!

[@arciefan]

Very nice to rescue that boat and keep the waters safe and to get the motor up and running. Love your dog.

[@jeffreysmall5259]

You are really helpful 🙂 need more friends like that.Good job.

[@badgamergood6713]

Tip for you to make sure this never happens again by getting foam filled bench seats We left our sieve of our savage dinghy overnight and it had sank down to the seats no work needed except for a wash and a bail

[@Fireship1]

Awesome salvage operation Stu! That swamped boat put up quite a fight!

[@DangarMarine]

It is always nice when they flip themselves when towing, but sometimes it goes this way...

[@frankozunic3229]

Holly shit, I’m a big fan and I just realized that you were in Split (where I live)... I have no idea how I missed this 😭😭... sending love from Croatia ❤️

[@DangarMarine]

Split (and indeed all of Croatia) was amazing. This is my video of the trip kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqDTdY2FhKyritU

[@dennissytsma3561]

My wife and I visited Split Croiata a few years ago and had an outstanding experience visited there on a Royal Carribean Cruise that took us into a villia above the sea port. They really know how to party in Croitia if you let the locals do what they do best.

[@rfbraunjr1]

There are few things finer than messing about with all things boating. Thanks for the video.

[@DangarMarine]

Indeed. :)

[@Lkaltapuss]

lol nice skivies boys. great work you guys. team work always wins. think I might just have to move there. love the vids, keep up the good work

[@MarkReedman]

Hi Stu A sunken boat on the shore makes a great swimming pool at low tide. As kids we used to spend hours in the mud at low tide on the other side of the island and take a dip in the sunken boat to freshen up.

[@DangarMarine]

They certainly do. There are about four around the Dangar bowling green now acting as raised vegetable gardens now too. :)

[@RichieRouge206]

Good rescue! Glad you sorted the outboard

[@DangarMarine]

Yeah, it's always good to get them running again within an hour or two of being raised to avoid rust setting it.

[@thelastengineer2315]

This is what is commonly called clowning around 🤣 You’ve seen it done but you don’t understand the physics! And the guy with the bucket 🤣🤣🤣

[@3dSorcery]

Jesus Dangar I got more than I bargained for in this one!

[@martinquintana4406]

Stu you are the man indeed. Aloha from Kansas

[@DangarMarine]

Aloha!

[@StonyRC]

Excellent salvage job gentlemen. Looked bloody cold though.

[@DangarMarine]

Was a bit chilly. :)

[@johnbolongo9978]

I got some serious shrinkage watching this vid......frikkin cold.

[@msmith2961]

Getting in the cold water to retrieve someone else's tinnie has got to be worth at least a couple of cartons.

[@DangarMarine]

You'd think so but he did a runner! :(

[@Ramshackle6984]

LOL at the bucket with a hole in it too! Mistakes were made this day. Well done ;)

[@billwalker4836]

Every bucket has a hole in it

[@hilltoprestoration]

A bucket with half the bottom rusted out of it to bail a boat, that made me laugh

[@Metal-Possum]

It's a speed hole, makes it faster to empty out.

[@davidholmes4225]

Great video. Thanks for posting.

[@matthewcousins3084]

Great channel and awesome videos!

[@DangarMarine]

Thanks Matthew!

[@lesmansom7817]

Funny as mate. As the son of a WA cray fisherman we always had a 6 foot length of 4x2 with a fender lashed on each end and a couple of g clamps attached with lanyards. The idea was to clamp the board to the bow roughly in the centre , that stops it rotating when you tow it. Worked every time. Only works well if the dingy has that little forward deck with the bollard. If it was a fully open dingy we would run two lines under to the transom to the bow with a couple of snotte to stop the tow bridle moving, attach the board with the fenders or floats to the lines aft and under the dingy and then run the transom lines forward to the tow point in the stem. This allows the bow to come up so you can go full bore to lift it and empty it.

[@DangarMarine]

That's a good idea, like a mini trimaran. It's amazing how quickly a boat will empty once you get it up on the plane.

[@emperorkrulos6671]

I love how Stu is rolling in his skivvies. He DGAF I love it.

[@markolav7017]

Hahaha that's made my Saturday morning mate...GOLD !!! We are actually heading down to to Parsley Bay this afternoon and then Cowan Creek tonight to chase some Hairtail.. thinking I might wear a few more layers than you and Paul though ! Cheers and enjoy the warm holiday In Croatia

[@DangarMarine]

Thanks mate, we'll have to go for a fish sometime when I get back. :)

[@markolav7017]

We will mate...success last night with one very large hairtail between two boats

[@DangarMarine]

Cool, looking forward to it.

[@pimpshack81]

Awesome to see/learn how you take problems on .. keep the vids coming 👍👍👍👍

[@mobilrz]

Is this a trailer for Love Island? Good to see the engine running.

[@jimh.5286]

I'm sorry, I'm lost and somehow ended up here on a macho male stud channel. Can you please tell me how to find the Dangar marine channel?

[@DangarMarine]

The internet is a dangerous place to get lost. ;)

[@MetalSessions]

Cheers from Croatia man! I'm in Istria, love your channel

[@DangarMarine]

Thanks Nikola, I loved my trip to Croatia. :)

[@riccardoscavo8485]

10:00 Mr Laurel is bailing a sunken stern of a boat with a bucket that has a 4 inch diameter hole in bottom, while Mr Hardy looks on with a ''why don't you do something to help me'' look on his face. Was worth a replay. The only thing missing were the bowler hats.

[@rogerwilco2]

You might call that winter, but over here, the water would be frozen.

[@welshpete12]

That dog has a wonderful life !

[@DangarMarine]

Yeah, he doesn't complain too much ;)

[@stanpatterson5033]

Everything appeared to be going "swimmingly" until the shot of Stu's pants coming off.... I just laughed! Hey, a mate's gotta do what a mate's gotta do, and If I'd been there, I'd have been right with you doing the same, at the risk of x-rating the video..... Good on ya, and Paul, Dave, and First Mate Ed, too ! Hope your vaycay in Cro-ay is a great time, Stu. Thanks for sharing this little slice of life :)

[@DangarMarine]

Thanks Stan, the weather is certainly much warmer here!

[@jeffreysmall5259]

Great dog listen well.Good best friend

[@waynep343]

did you ever wonder why dogs look strangely into camp fires.. you are burning their toys right in front of them. and i totally agree when the skiff is in deep enough water that the transom is straight down.. and it keeps diving .. pull over the top from with the rope laying on the keel.. or the inverse way it was being pulled.. i am forwarding this to some lady friends i know.

[@tethys903]

Bailing with a bucket that has a hole :) Love it!

[@DangarMarine]

Yes, time that bucket was replaced me thinks!

[@clearwatercove2526]

Have a great time in Croatia. Enjoy the warm islands!

[@Metal-Possum]

My suggestion is drill a hole in the bottom and install the drain and plug from a bath. When my bath is full of water, I can pull the plug out and it all drains away. I don't know why some people need an engineering degree, when you can fix a complex problem with a very simple solution.

[@adolfoabhurtadoc6106]

Recently my small aluminum boat sank. I needed a rescue just like this one but in a severe dangerous scenario. At least, the boat survive and recive the new name of "Costa Discordia" (Costa because of the Costa Concordia sank'ed ship and Discordia because it means no point of agreement in spanish). The one who recive a deep wound was the engine; a 1956 Johnson 15 hp... he survive, but a new set of coils, a propeller, two condensors and a pair of motor mounts will be neded to bring him back to life. Ironicly using this motor on an other boat I save a lot of sailboats and other kind of motor boats with it last summer, but because of a lot of huge waves he surrender and go down. Great videos! And thanks for the nautical lessons!

[@DangarMarine]

Love the new name. :)

[@cs512tr]

nice work fellas

[@sethmiller1357]

It seems to me that what is needed is to rig a bridle to the bow of the boat being rescued. Then line the boats up stern to stern and begin pulling. The boat being rescued will then flip end over end to be right side up and have water flowing over the hull immediately to help stabilize it and keep it from rolling again. Hard to rig a bridle on a boat which only has a foot or so of the bow sticking out of the water, I know. Especially so if there are no bow cleats on either side to rig to. Another thought might be to rig a single line to one side of the rolled boat as well as a line to the bow eye. The towing boat could start out perpendicular to the rolled boat on the side opposite where the side line is tied. That line would take up the majority of the initial pull to roll the boat upright, then be cast off or slackened as soon as the boat is upright and allow the bow line to lake over pulling duty.

[@louisshambarger2230]

I wince pulled a motor out of an Owens cabin cruiser which had sunk in a lake In Arkansas, USA. The owner had just rebuilt the engine himself. He made couple of minor errors... one was that it had a water cooled manafold which he hooked up wrong and it pumped water into the boat until it sank! The other was that it had a Chrysler gasoline engine. Chrysler had changed from piston wrist pins with circlips at each end, which retained the wrist pins, to aluminum pads which went on the ends of the wrist pins to keep them from rubbing on the cylinder walls. They must have been free floating on the connecting rod small ends. They floated out and made grooves in the cylinder walls. It could have only run a few minutes. Just enough for him to get out into the lake a few hundred yards and sink.

[@otm646]

Three plastic barrels and a re purposed boom vang is the best way I've seen to refloat these. One lashed to the bow and the pair on either side of the stern about 2 foot forward. Once it's above the water throw a bilge pump in and have a beer.

[@DangarMarine]

If we'd had a portable bilge pump and a boom we would have been set! ;)

[@jimbogasoline2042]

That black motor fired up nicely after taking a plunge, 😉! You know if it was a grey motor it would have drowned. Great video Stu!

[@PorkBarrel.]

There's a valuable lesson here. Always wear clean underwear!

[@alistairpowers8129]

At least you didnt have an audience on the dock giving lots of advice, not.

[@razorsharpbt124]

Stu Gone Wild! 🙂

[@ionracer3284]

Eddie was the star of this vid for sure

[@tcdz01]

Did you just dock that boat by drifting it in sideways?!? You need a video of that from the dock. That looked sweet.

[@boaterbil]

Thanks Stu.

[@MrHSIE]

Ha ha. That’s awesome. Well done Stu and Dangar retrieval team. I’m guessing it filled with water from the heavy rains and sank. We had a few here at Lake Macquarie do the same. Enjoy the trip Stu. Good time of the year to just get away from it all. Again, thanks for sharing. Very enjoyable.

[@WilliamBates-xk6mt]

Been there lol summer here finally headed to the lake today 2-3 footers on lk. Michigan perfect be safe brother

[@hdscuba6970]

just love that dog

[@versatec1]

your a good friend Stu😊👍🏻 Enjoy your holiday😎☀️

[@CustomcrowdMitroc]

Far out, they have really changed the wharf since last time i was there

[@DangarMarine]

Yeah, it's a relatively recent upgrade. Quite different from the original wharf!

[@1988Zlikeaboss]

Just went thru this with my out bord for getting to the mainland. I feel the struggle

[@DangarMarine]

Yes, we had another to rescue on the weekend. Little boats don't love living in the water!

[@compphysgeek]

when you were posing there it looked like a mix of Russell Coight and Patrick Brammall :D

[@ZulkSOD]

that honda sounds so nice

[@davidheitman7004]

that was funny at 2:15. put the rope around the engine cover.lol. great.

[@krisanderson997]

Great video, Stu. Good guys do wear black! Have a great vacation.

[@justinsnell2216]

So funny... Im from Sheffield, PA. 12 miles from Warren.

[@mustangsally5901]

You need to get back to Holiday...have fun no work. Always good to get your videos.

[@MrWilliam.Stewart]

Hang on a minute, if you never moved to an island, I wouldn't now have a bazillion awesome marine themed videos to watch! An besides, everyone needs a mate with a Land Rover they can take the piss out of.

[@crispernator]

I hate to tell you this but your bucket has a jolly big hole in it ! glad it was you jumping in that water and not me great video take care .

[@DangarMarine]

Should have spent the extra $10 for stainless steel. ;)

[@CaptMarkSVAlcina]

Dangar Marine , re your bucket, ....l don’t think so, it’s one of those that you can use two hands at once

[@mitch_the_-itch]

I know the problem. Your winter is in Summer. That boat looks a lot like me when I try to single ski.

[@LestonDr]

Your a good friend!

[@dickthetick8488]

Eddy had that job sorted , just look at him lol,wondering what you 2 blokes were doing ! cheers

[@DangarMarine]

He was all over it. :)

[@deanfulford69]

Good stuff stu no problem for the green machine💪

[@michaelnelson912]

I could have used your help last week when my boat sank at Dangar! lol

[@jmac5058]

Man you have alot of balls .

[@mikepettipas690]

So TODAY we learned NEVER go on the water without DRESSING TO GET WET !!!

[@atw98]

Reminds me of the days had to swim to Elvima Bay in winter to get my boat from Church Point. The best part was when Pittwater was full of man of war jelly fish. Still doesnt put you off though. Hey who throughs their engine after that? Take an life saving where you have to wash out an engine every weekend cause someone was having to much fun.

[@Athfos]

Looking forward to the Croatia content. I am going there soon.

Someone buy this man a new bucket

Good job guys 👍

[@gordonpeden6234]

Stu you are "The Man" I watched as you stopped mid thigh in the water and thought "what a pussy" But then you took off the shirt and waded in , and then thought "Stu is the Man!" For those in the northern hemisphere 23rd July is Mid winter here in Oz. (Shortest day of the year 22nd June) Mucho respecto El Stu!

[@runnningonempty]

EDDY IS AWESOME!!!!

[@Bubbles_Bubbles_Bubbles]

The secret to lifting is to take your legs totally out of the equation. Lift with your back in an abrupt, jerking, and twisting motion.

[@warriors5779]

The crew looked quite engaged

[@samtate1260]

That thing looks like a giant fishing lure when you were pulling it I thought you were trolling for Moby Dick

[@ScruffyOldJimbo]

I already live on an island thankfully. Wouldn't change it for anything!

[@DangarMarine]

It is a nice lifestyle but I do miss being able to drive my car to the house though...

[@ScruffyOldJimbo]

Dangar Marine yeah I guess so. I googled about Dangar Island earlier and I didn’t realise it was like that re’ no cars etc. I’m on the Isle of Man so cars and bikes are more or less a way of life here with the TT races and numerous other motorsports. A little bigger than Dangar but still a relatively tiny and green rock in the sea still!

[@DangarMarine]

I'd love to come to the Isle of Man one day and see the race. I think it would be an amazing holiday. :)

[@ScruffyOldJimbo]

Dangar Marine it’s a pretty mad event for sure and an amazing atmosphere for 2 weeks solid. Shout up if you ever plan to.

[@CSkwirl]

Well that was a galant effort at an APETOR impersonation but there was a severe lack of vodka in this video. ;-p

[@peterjensen6844]

Awwhhhhhh EEUUUPP EEEUUUP

[@tiberiu_nicolae]

It only works in wintertime

[@justinrice8509]

Have fun!

[@Antipodean33]

That sunken tinny seems to have zero flotation. My ply epoxy composite dinghy has enough flotation that if i get swamped the boat will still float and stay level. Many of these commerically made tinnies wouldn't pass todays stringent flotation regs

[@peterjensen6844]

Now here's one for the ladies!

[@TheRodbond]

Hey Stu......your work boat looked a whole lot like yours at home......it wasn't yours was it..??? I was right there on that street where you guys were in Split.....back in 76'......loved the area and the people

[@DangarMarine]

No, belonged to a young guy that was on the island for a while.

[@westend3019]

Hardy sailors! Good job mates.

[@matwalker6336]

That is one way to make SURE you loose everything out of the boat.

[@brandhot]

Croatia: Good choice, Stu. Enjoy your Karlovačko.

[@Driftit]

Complaining it's cold... It's bloody -20c outside my house right now in the US. I miss Aussie/Kiwi winters now.

[@DangarMarine]

That's a fair call! :)
