The Everyday Captain: Your Boating Knowledge Hub
Our Story: Helping You Navigate Vessel Maintenance
Welcome to The Everyday Captain! I’m Dane, a marine mechanic with over a decade of experience. I created this blog to help boaters with practical, easy-to-follow advice on maintenance, repairs, and troubleshooting.The idea for The Everyday Captain grew over many years as I worked as a marine technician. Time and again, I noticed a common theme among my clients—a lack of knowledge about maintaining their vessels. Many boaters didn’t know their engine service intervals, how to care for their batteries, or where to start when troubleshooting a problem. Often, these issues were simple to fix with the right guidance.
In 2021, I decided to address this gap by creating a straightforward blog designed to empower boaters with the information they needed. And so, The Everyday Captain was born.
Today, the site has grown into a diverse resource covering everything from outboards to high-output diesel engines, inboard sport boats, shaft drives, pod drive systems, gearboxes, electrical diagnostics, and more. Alongside the blog, we offer digital downloads for service and maintenance checklists, wiring diagrams, and advice on essential tools every boater should have.
Our mission is simple: to make boating easier, safer, and more enjoyable by giving you the knowledge and tools to care for your vessel with confidence.
