Can I Fix All These Outboard Engines? 

I would definitely buy a engine from the boat guy, seems like he really knows his stuff!

You must have the best neighbors! Nice 2 strokes

It's hard to get motivated to change the oil in my truck, and this guy got 8 outboards running... FML...

My dad was an outboard mechanic, worked out of the garage or did service calls right to peoples docks. At home he had two drums for running motors. One was a 20 or 30 gallon plastic drum with the top cut off. He had a big wheeled dolly and put a board across the bottom to rest the drum on, so you could move it out of the way without draining the drum. For larger outboards he had a plastic oil drum he cut in half. He swore by running them in barrels over muffs because you could gauge how well the water pump was working. With the muffs the water pressure is often enough to make water flow. It's been 8 years since we lost him and I love hearing all these noises again. We constantly had outboards laying around and people dropping off or picking up their boats and motors. It was all completely word of mouth, he didn't even have business cards, yet we had hundreds if not thousands of repairs come through every summer. He was an absolute wizard with motors. This makes me want to fix old outboards for fun now.

Love these videos. I've learned a lot watching them and it's so satisfying to see these engines come to life with seemingly minimal effort.

I’m not a mechanic but I enjoy watching you working on motors, you make it look so easy.

Not many honest mechanics like you around anymore. I don’t own a boat yet and I can’t wait till I do. I’m from Melbourne Australia and I love watching and learning from your work. 👍🇦🇺🇺🇸

Great work and greatings from Norway. Love the way you rebuild and restore the outboards with many reliable years of services left in them. And you are doing more for the environment than the self entitled envirolists ever would manage to do.

I learned a lot with helping my Dad as a kid work on stuff like this. Pretty much everything on my outboard has been tinkered by myself and it feels great! Enjoy these and mostly the boat renovations

Love looking at you fiddling with the boat motors, being a mechanic and boat lover its very satisfying to watch.

It would be awesome if you included the purchase and sale prices for the motors you fix. Very entertaining videos.

Please keep working on outboards. Prefer these videos than any other ones.

Love these vlogs, maybe do a in-depth rebuild on the power head that locked up. Keep up the good work and stay blessed brother 🤙🏾🤙🏾

Hey man I just want to say I love your content! I just moved to northern FLA and I have been watching your channel since you redid that $250 bass boat. I actually picked up an 87' bass champ to see if i could do what you did. I have some more floor work to do to in and find a motor, but after that I'm hitting the water!

You have to be one of the best one handed mechanics out there! 😂 Love the vids, and I really look forward to seeing some more of your boat restoration projects.

Wow . You know your stuff ! You seem so comfortable/ confident. Always nice to see someone who loves what they do. I can tell you do by the knowledge you have. Good stuff man.

I always learn something new when I watch you pull these engines apart. Keep the videos coming.

Best video I’ve seen you do so far! Really like the outboard stuff. If you would do more slowed down how too videos on all this stuff this channel would be fire!

The best outboard motor how to videos out there. Always well made and full of how to information.

the older ones run great. I'm loading up on fun projects this winter to sell in the spring summer. I plan to restore em well and provide people a solid motor. appreciate the videos

Love these kind of videos give me motivated to work on my own boat

I learn best by watching, Listening and then doing. What a great Channel you run. Thank you. Truly.

You are a great teacher. Really enjoy your videos. It looks like you have fun putting all these boats on the water. I would love it.

I love how informative these videos are and how they address so many different problems it’s very helpful

I always learn a lot from your videos, thanks for that and keep-em coming.

Clearly you enjoy what you do. You mention work, don't think for you it's work. Your patience is telling. I don't own a boat or motor yet I enjoy watching your videos.

Yes, I'm amazed. Pretty nice loose change pickup ya got going on there! Keep up the great video-ing.

I could watch you repairing outboards all day!!? You've got a bloody gift mate! 😃🤙

Still really dig you channel. Several tips over the years to help me keep my 2s 2008 25 yamaha running strong. Thanks... P.S. hate the new idle mix screws, ordered the old style.

Great info. Motor work today was very informative. Good job with the dialog too.

nice motors eric! I have a nice nissan mid 90's 5 hp. 2 stroke short shaft im going to be putting a new waterpump in so i can use it as a kicker this summer on Lake Michigan. My older brother gave me a Evinrude 40hp. VRO 2 stroke. And i took off the lower unit today. Much different than my 1995 Johnson 30hp 2 stroke where the shift shaft disconnects. I had to take off the starter motor to access the bolt underneath the engine block as opposed to the Johnson that you disconnect when you take off the screens on the lower unit.

You should star your own outboard motor business and for what i see you are a honest person and need people like you

Lovely content on your channel! Grettings from Sweden🙏

love seeing you fix motors, especially the smaller hp ones.

Thanks again for taking the time to educate us!

Sees a dirty corroded screw sticking out of the ground, wait a second that’s a perfect Yamaha 25. Just gotta dig it up and turn the majigger it’ll be just like new.

This guy is great.... I could watch him fix these things all day

The mercury 15 gets me through the rivers. Beautiful motor. Thank you making these videos. It's helpful.

Love your channel. Youmake working on these engines seem so easy.

Awesome!! I’d love to see more of these!! Maybe some big motors too!!

Hats off friend for what you did there and thank you again my friend for showing us all this stuff , stay safe and next video, Moh from Algiers.

Great video. These are my favorites. Thanks for posting.

It shows you guy’s you can do a lot of maintenance on your outboard engine with out pay to some one Thanks for showing us 👍

This video is why I subscribed, great video to learn how to fix and service outboards

Great video, keep up the good work!!

Super entertaining stuff man really enjoyed it!

Fantastic video. you certainly know your way around an outboard motor. love watching your channel. Steve from England.

Great vid man! Love to see more!

Love the engine repair videos. I love seeing your stuff on the local florida facebook marketplace too

Good stuff Eric what ever vids you make will be good boats or motors so long as they are more than 20 min long im happy 🇦🇺

Just bought a project boat will need this channel 😄

Have same model 15 hp. Just had it repaired, can't wait to try it out

Great motors I had a 15 Mercury just like that I had sold it for six hundred bucks that motor ran on my boat for years. Love your videos I live in Orlando FL and work on older outboard motors too ..! Love your videos keep up the great work .👍

Love your work Eric !

That was interesting. I found the design of all of them very similar. I had 30hp Yamaha that had 3 cylinders and 3 carbs I thought it was unusual to have and extra carb and cylinder for the extra 5 HP but it did have a lot of power for a little motor.

I'm planning on rebuilding a flats boat and when I need an engine I'll go to you since you're so local.

Nice fixes, keep up the good work👌👍

Great vid keep it coming love those yams you make it look easy. Can you do a vid of a pig engine one where lots of bolts may snap and how you deal with the problem. All your engines seem to be well purchased through skill but is not real life for us guys who don’t know better thanks 👍👍👍👍👍

Great video learned a lot about how to repair small outboard motors.

Good job. Nice to see the younger generation being mechanically inclined. Keep these videos going.

Love the outboard videos, very interesting.

Oh boy! I wish I was as knowledgeable with engines as you!

Thank you. I’m learning a lot!

These videos are great. Keep it up!

Yessss a new upload from my favourite channel nice video eric

My dad would know all about them because he works for a Mercury boat shop and all other engines Mercury is a very good engine type and my dada know a lot about Mercury he as a 32 foot boat there is two engines the both have a 450 engine outboards. Love your videos ♥️

I surprised how interesting this is brother love the channel stay safe

Nice work love your truck

Eric - great videos - keep them coming. . . . .!

Thanks. Great vid and lots of good info

This is pretty epic! Really inspirational.

Man I love it! I rebuilt a couple old outboards and really enjoyed learning and tinkering. Where do you typically find your motors to work on?

Love the working on outboard videos

Man I’d love to spend a week learning with you! Freaking hands of a surgeon!

You are not only good... you are thorough... hard to find these days.

I used to have a 1980 Evinrude 7.5, that motor ran like a dream

I love those old Mercury motors they are epic the 25 in this vid I absolutely loves that engine

I would love to live in Florida for a few months so I could catch some of these deals. Boats and outboard motors of any size are like GOLD in my state!

I had no idea Zach Braff was even interested in boat engines! Great job man!

This guy is an outboard genius. Subbed!

Thank You! Had a great time watching this video. Personally, I like your videos best when you work on a bunch of motors at a time. Do you also work on larger horsepower motors? Probably not the same time-to-profit ratio, but interesting none the less. Peace.

Thing about a outboard is they all seem to run good out of the water. As soon as you put them in the water (apply back pressure) they run alot different plus those 2 stroke mercs can have bad exhaust cover leaks that leak into the cylinders. Been working on Merc outboards for years as a certified tech and I can say they are awsome engines.

I love these types of videos!

EnjOy all content U provide keep it coming 👊

Like how you demystify these motors, I'm in Detroit area and am mechanically inclined, but, not so much with marine stuff.

Great work and content. Subscribed. Liked. Commented.

Love the go pro mercury! Beautiful machine

You getting that old 25 merc running brought back memories. Dad used to have one a little older. Worked on it for years.

Me when my outboard locks up: "ah damn, now i gotta go find a new outboard on Craigslist or something" This guy: "I have a replacement powerhead, so it doesn't matter"

Nice work!!

man, you are good at what you're doing.

Where Can People Buy Your Motors. You Are The Best That Ever Did It !!!

Great video really enjoy watching ur video's.

For sure 😁 you are amazing with outboards 😉👍

YOU ARE AMAZING,GREAT JOB,LOVE IT
