We often get a blocked drain, it's where two toilets meet. I now have a "poo hose" shove tge hose down the pipe with the tap turned full on and it clears every time. I usually have to do it once a year, I assume it's how the pipes are joined or the shape of the joint
@@boatingsibbingandwandering3262How come you changed from a t38 to a t40? These are the 2 boats I’m deciding over so would be good to get your take on them
@@estd1984 I have not changed I have both and also a T35 AE3. The T40 and T35 are very much trailer boats in my view and the T38 is very much a roll up and put in your boot type of boat. It is very much horses for courses. I love these boats and like to try as many as I can. I tend to keep them also. If you are going to buy 1 and you intend to travel with it without a trailer the T38 ie3 is the one to get 👍
@@boatingsibbingandwandering3262 Thanks, I intend to keep it on a trailer, but I will be using it alone so launching it could be difficult if the boat is too heavy, I was set on the t40 as I’d be doing some fishing too but the weight concerns me with launching on and of a trailer.
That is the Honwave T40 the Transom can take 90 kg according to the plate and the 20 Hp 4 stroke weighs 52 kg so should be ok I have travelled 32 miles twice on average roads and it seems to be ok. I think if I travelled say 300 miles I might put the outboard in the car but not sure on that one
My 9.8hp tohatsu 2 stroke is cavitating with the same boat. Looking at cutting transom down maybe an inch, and adding a Hydrofoil. See how that goes. It's interesting yours isn't cavitating with the same outboard, assuming yours is a short shaft too?
Nice one. I love swimming in rivers too. I have been in near Tavistock and seen salmon swimming in there with me! Been to Tintagel twice in my lifetime, last time about 2005. Nice camper van.
Did you have any issues sliding the fins in? I was unable to slide in one because it was too tight. It would only slide in half way then impossibly stuck. If you had that issue too, how did you solve it?
yeah I too have the 15hp version, looks the same, but lighter. Same tell tale behaviour. Many take the stat out and run a fast telltale but then it doesnt reach the right temp when operating
Completely normal on these mercury-built mariners. I have a 15hp and it’s exactly the same. Just watch for water getting into the cylinders through the exhaust baffle gasket- the gasket burns through over time. Enjoy the motor 👍
I am using a DJI Osmo Action 4 with the GPS remote and a Insta 360 X3 also with GPS Remote. In each app you can set 'stats' and chose what you want to overlay and then Export the pic. It is quite easy. I might do a little video. I think you can also get them if you start and stop using your phone. Thanks for the nice comment
Can I pick your brains … I took my Range Rover 2009 sport to a car garage to get my brushes done drive shaft bearing done and air suspension done .. I did have engine fault and low level coolant on the dash but car was driving fine .. they had my car sitting for 7 days tho and when I picked it up I drove away and lights came up on my dash and went into limp mode but it went normal whiles driving but the limp mode keeps happening… like I said my car was alright when I took it in .. what he causing the problem ?
Hello and sorry for your issue. I am afraid that I am not a Lan Rover expert but just someone who sorted this particular issue. However a lot of fault codes like you are getting can also be linked to low fuel pressure on the fuel rail. All this generally needs is replacement fuel filter/filters. Also it might be useful for you to buy the Land Rover plug in fault finding tool (google will find a few) so you start to understand the issues. In any event go back to the garage that did the work also and complain
Quite. We were right ready to set off in the MH and then the MOT thought struck me. I wondered about not checking but it got in my head. It ran out on the 12 July. All done now though. The van however worked surprising well as it was and drives a dream. Got to find more time somehow to do more on it. 15 mins to swap over the essentials was quite a rush 😳🙈
Thanks for your videos i love your contributions to the forums and advice, like you i love the 2 strokes and have the yamaha 15 do you think the 4 strike is the way to go ? . I have the t38 and would have thought it would have pushed the t40 a bit faster maybe a bit of tinkering needed.
I still much prefer the 2 strokes as they are so much lighter to carry and simple in terms of transportation and servicing. I have tinkered and will soon retest with the 20hp 4 stroke. I have also just bought a 25hp Mariner 2 stroke and will upgrade it to 30hp and that should whip along :)
Hello and thanks for your message. We have not yet been approached in such a way but would be pleased to test some of your products. What have you got in mind and how would this work ?
Just bought 1 for my step dad, haven't put it together yet, I read on Amazon it's a bit of a headache so come here to look, didn't find what I was looking for but I've seen it in action and I'm impressed 👍
@@boatingsibbingandwandering3262 you mentioned subscribers so your aim was the more subscribed the more money, I just go to skiathos to enjoy,ones holiday is private unfortunately people jump on the money bandwagon. Holiday vlogs are not educational to the prospective visitors to that destination it's purely a money making process for that individual
@@stevexn you seem very obsessed with money. It is not why we do it. It is called sharing, How about you do what you want on your holiday and we do what we want. That’s how it should be shouldn’t it. Not sure at all why you think a holiday is Private but hey ho
Great video. Looks like you had a fantastic time. I wasn’t sure which River Stour you were on initially, as we’ve got a lovely one in Dorset. Sussed it by the end.
Hi, thanks for the video. I have a problem with water intrusion with this model. Water appears even on flat days so it's not coming in over the tubes or transom. When accelerating and the bow of the boat starts to lift, all the water suddenly appears at the back of the boat. There are no signs of any damage, the boat is brand new. I had the same problem with the T38 and my dealer took the boat back under guarantee and marking the boat as "faulty". Now it's happening again with the T35 alu and the dealer doesn't believe that there can be the same problem again on a brand new boat so I'm stuck. Any advice? Thanks
Not sure I can help much on this. You will always have a bit of water in the boat that will indeed go to the back when you accelerate. I assume you are putting the bung in the boat the correct way ie from the rear
Looks great Dennis, I'm glad you got them so quickly and hassle free. I gave up with extreme when twice they gave me the wrong rollers, different from what I ordered. Obviously I got the guy who was having a bad week 😂
We have been married for 35 Years. It is how we are with each other. I think perhaps you don't get it. I can assure you if she did not like it she would have said by now
Why do you sit like that? Aerodynamics? Mine sometimes does 26 km/h, on rough sea 18-22. With 6 hp my problem is getting on plane. Also for some reason my prop ventilates with increasing the trim. At trim 0 it would ventilate the least, but be the slowest as the prop axis literally points at the bottom of the boat upwards... Maybe I'll be getting trim flaps with gas springs to help with getting on plane and allow better trim angle. For Suzuki DF-6 the horisontal prop angle is at the middle trim setting and with some bow rise it would and should be 4th trim hole for max speed and efficiency. - absolutely impossible without some kind of leveling aid.
Yes always tow with engine on. It is a 15 hp 2 stroke so not to heavy. I also wedge a piece of wood tied on with bungee and jam it in position to limit the bounce. Depending on your engine this piece of wood can be easy of difficult to keep in position. They are very strong transomes on the Honwaves. If you were going to tow a very long way you could take the engine off and pop it in the boot of the car. You do get petrol smells doing this however
@@ianwilson3814 the HONWAVE are very good. If you are wanting to inflate and launch each time rather than keep on a trailer I would recommend the HONWAVE T38 ie 3 with the high pressure floor 👍
