your content embodies the whole point for which youtube was created. A regular dude being able to spread some concepts from a workshop with couple of empty beers here and there. No need for flashy sets when message's so useful and clear as yours. cheers from the Balearics

Hi Stu, just wanted to say that your videos have helped me a lot, with my latest project! Watching your videos gave me the confidence to buy a project boat and I have just finished servicing the outboard, adjusting throttle cables and relubricating them, adjusting fuel mixture and idle speed and plugging a hole in the hull. Now I'm considering taking it further and repainting it. Thank you for putting these videos out into the world, you are a champion!!

Hi from the UK. My gear change cable broke today and as a new boater I was beginning to panic and expect the worse. However, having just watched this video I have now prepared to change the cable tomorrow and have the confidence to do it myself. An excellent series of videos, keep up the great work. Cheers

Appreciate the easy explanation of changing the control cable, I like to see if I can fix a part on my own before sending it to a shop so thanks again for the info

I'm mounting a Johnson 70 to replace a blown Yamaha 90 on an old Super Sport 16'. I had the controls for the 70 off my old bass boat and need longer cables for newer boat. I was preparing my wife for the expensive repair shop job. Even though I thought I'd seen most of your videos, this one just popped up while watching the news this am coffee break. Wow what luck. I can do this myself and you sir are a lifesaver for us out here. Thank you so much from Pensacola, Florida. Also I like your upgraded Camera. Excellent video and it really focuses in like I'm sitting right there next to what you are showing. Lighting is much improve also. Thanks again!!

Well I fixed my kill switch according to your instructions, now my throttle has crapped out so I have come straight to your channel - and of course you have the perfect video!

Mate, I don't know what I would have done without this video. About 8months ago I had to pull apart my throttle system to get at my choke cable which had perished beyond repair. I used your video to disassemble the cable. I got myself a new cable but haven't had an opportunity to fit it until today. There were several things that I couldn't remember like which way up the plastic connectors at the front end went. I found your video again and it was sorted within seconds. I reckon you should re do it, or at least repost this one, its saved me probably $2-300. I'm still going to get it checked by a marine mechanic, but the satisfaction of doing the repair myself was pretty cool. Cheers

You are the absolute best! Whenever I feel hopeless on a tricky detail... I go to you! And there it is... the solution! Love to drink a beer with you one day!

Thanks for making this video. You do a great job of sshowing each step while explaining. Also love that you mention all the considerations at the end for cable lengths etc.

This is probably the most detailed and informative instruction video I've ever seen.

Sharing the knowledge you are is going to save me a lot of money in the long run.

Very informative and straight forward. I like your clear instructions explanations. Just bought a 9.9 Yamaha and now I see it’s something I can handle. One of many fantastic videos. Cheers from Vancouver Canada. Keep on keeping on!

I viewed and used your technique for freeing a steering cable that was stiff. That worked well and it appears that this video will do the trick too. Thanks for your assistance with my older but well loved outboard.

Thanks so much. My son and I have just watched and are now confident we can do it ourselves. Really appreciate the detail and care taken.

Thank you very much and greetings from the Des Moines Marina in Washington State, near Seattle. I'm now thinking I can change this myself on my Catalina 27 and save having to pay an expensive marine repair shop do the work, thanks to your very clear and well-articulated video!

This is such a good channel. Every time I go looking for an answer about my boat projects...I end up finding Dangar.....thanks!

I wish you could have mentioned there are several different types and not all are interchangeable especially older models , after watching your video I thought I could just use my old cables but as I have learnt, there are several different types of cables , some have the removable tips like yours , others have specific adjustable wheels and lock barrels, with removable end but fine thin cable ends with grub screw locks , others have the correct end for the outbound but different end for the control with windows ends that are not removable with small holes , others have the same set up but with large holes , there’s a multitude of different styles , tips, sizes , definitely not a one size fits all as you clip suggests. I’ve learnt the hard way with about 12 different cables of which none are exactly right absolute pain in the ass ! Hopefully I can save someone else the hassle and make it known that you need to find you specific cable you can’t just use a generic one at least with older outboards

Dude you are the man! I've watched HOURS of your content already (just bought my first boat) Really appreciate it. Subbed

This video and the Honda remote video have been incredibly helpful. Thank you.

One of the biggest funding limitations for DIY KZfaq channels is that (by definition) your average DIYer is usually a little tight on cash. HashTag MeToo on that bro but since this is about the 150th time Danger Stu has saved me $100's I'm going to head over to the links above and make a very very small donation. Obviously hurts just thinking about it but bugger it - I'll always spend a penny if it saves a pound.

Thank you for all of your tutorials, I have learned a lot. I also like your demeanor and your straight Forward explanations in all your projects. Again thank you.

Thank you dude. As always this was very helpful. Watching your videos has gave me the confidence to work on my own boat and outboard motor. Much appreciated! Johnny D. Sacramento, California

I LIKE THE WAY YOU EXPLAIN EVERYTHING IN DETAIL ... AND THE TIPS ALSO

I use this guy for everything I do on my outboard. Excellent vdo's and excellent advice, genius love it. Can't find how to drop you a $ I think you should make this easier to do. You save lots of people lots of money... you could do with and deserve some of that. Cheers Frank

Thanks for posting this video. My gear cable broke today so I need to replace it. Your video gives me the confidence to do it myself. Thanks again!

Awesome... I just had my one line go that controls reverse neutral and forward on a 1988 Thunder Craft.... thank you so much for this hopefully the cable won't cost a fortune. Much thx from Canada!

Greetings from South Florida. I have seen a lot of your videos and they are some of the best ones out there. I've learned a lot from them and we certainly appreciate the valuable information. Thank you!

Thank you for explaining in great detail, I am an industrial maintenance technician but small things can sometimes be a pain in the a$$.

After countless youtube videos, I found this one. And I now know, both cables are basically Identical and found a set, 2 for 71.00 bucks. Once home and off the lake the parts will be there and I can do this repair myself. heads up, the boat dealer wanted 138.00 an hour and quoted a min of 2.5 hours. And the parts where 112.00 per cable. The most important thing is save your old connectors. to make sure you have a good fit. Unless their bad.

Love your help. You're my go-to!

Very thorough. I'm going out to give this a try now. My cables are in and the boat is waiting. I feel like I can do this now. Thanks so much.

You’re the man! These videos are are so informative and have helped me so much. Thank you

Once again great video. You've helped me limp through yet another diy boat project. Keep it up!

So clear and helpful.

I've watched several of your video and just wanted to thank you for making them!!! The way you explain stuff is soooo good and easy to understand. I hope you continue making videos!!!

Did an awesome job of explaining this job . Great job, and thanks for the teaching.

I are a wealth of information I thing I would be happy with you as my Friend, Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Thanks again for taking the time to do these videos. I’ve learnt so much and saved $ !

Very clear instructions. I feel I can do this myself now. I'm going to give it a whirl! Thank you!

thanks for the info just fitting out my first boat.

Greetings from Vancouver Island B.C. Canada. Thanks for all the help! John H.

This video was a real life saver

Cheers Mate. I read in the manual that 8 turns is considered the minimum. in an ideal world :-)

Great video on changing remote control cables. 🖒

Exactly what I needed to know. Now to get the cables out and order some new ones.

Big thanks for this video. I'm having to change one of my control cables this weekend.

Thanks from Sweden!

thank you. real mechanics are becoming scarce

Perfect, thanks. I see why I subscribed to your channel last week.👍👍👍

got the answer on shift cable problem----there is a little plastic sleeve inside the cable that helps ensure it shifts smoothly----it was broken. So--replaced it and we are back in business in our 42 Hydra Sports--3 350's.

Thank you! You have helped me out before and you just helped me out again. :)

You the man! Just replaced my cables.

Thanks that was very helpful. Look forward to tackling this project.

Brilliant! very well done video, I think I can do this job now, Cheers from Hornby Island BC Canada.

Thanks mate, saved me a bunch of $$$!

You have a nice boat.

greetings from South Africa. great vid. thank you.

Very well explained, thanks from LA

Great video, thanks!

Very helpful style. Much appreciated 👍

Great video, well explained!

no entendí una palabra, pero si entendí todo el proceso del cambio, excelente vídeo, me ha ayudado. chevere!!

Cheers for the video mate. Helped me a lot!!!

And I will use that trick that you said about putting oil down there that's going to save me time and money especially since I'm not working now

Thank you.Very clear explanation!

Sir, you are a life saver!

First off, awesome explanation and video! I am trying to relate this video to how my shifting cable/linkage is configured on my Yamaha outboard. The linkage is not mounted on the side of the outboard like shown in this video, it has a brass linking nut that connects the shifting rod from the power head area to shifting rod in the gear box (this connection needs to be unthreaded each time I take off my lower unit). When moving the shifting lever from neutral to forward/reverse the linkage movement “agrees” with the 3 positions. However when I do my in water test as you mentioned, my reverse sort of grinds/stays in neutral and I have to push back a little harder on shifting lever to actually engage reverse. I was nervous that my dog clutch was worn out, however when I detach the lower unit and move the shifting rod manually the prop spins freely in both directions when in neutral, I hear it ratchet into place and locks when in forward and reverse. So it seems like my lower unit/dog clutch are ok? Could it be that I am not getting enough “throw” with my shifting cable to get it fully engaged in reverse? Do you know if this sort of set up has an adjustment that can me made under the cowling (where the shifting cam/lobes are located)?

Nice work

As per usual; brilliant!

Nice video, man !! Extremely useful ! :D Thank you so much !!

Thanks bud you got a really nice video it helps a lot to me

New camera works a treat!! Good work stu!!!

Thanks for another great video that helps to "demystify" boat maintenance.

nice one all your vids are good but the new camera has made the sound much better keep up the great work and thanks for your informative vids

Thanks mate, helped me out. cheers

Very nice 👌

thanks

Old vid, still good

Great vid Stu !!

Bit of marine grease on the cable ends where the fittings screw on and on the control box screws and on the rubber spacer that holds the control cables apart in the control box, just helps to take it apart next time it needs to be done

Very good video

Great info, well delivered. Keep up the good work.

Awesome, Thanks a million Stu!

Very handy, thanks!

Hey Stu! Hope all is well with you and yours mate. Was just wandering what the correct grease is to use on these cables. I was told not to use oil, as they said that it assists in the cracking of the external plastic casings. thanks for your vids & all the help you give every one mate.

thank you

I have a Honda 50 it seems much the same as the Yamaha I'm wondering have you done a video on complete change on control with electric wiring and other cables. Great video TKS for sharing

you got yourself another sub. Great video, thank you!

You are FANTASTIC! I have a couple of issues that would be too difficult to explain over text. Is there anyway I could call you? I know that’s a long shot but no shops near me understand my Yamaha problems haha. Even if I don’t hear from you I’ll be a fan. Your videos are fantastic.

Thanks fella!

Perfekt exactly what I needed? :-)

Tellflex puts it on cable I believe

Yes another great video! Just Incase my cables are beyond oiling/ lubricating.Also a thumbs up for the Land Rover shirt! Have you a FB Page??
