Non boaters love to tell me about the greatest days for a boat owner are the days you buy it and the day you sell it, completely BS.

@PFLEONARDI0906 3 года назад

Great video of recapping trends. Keep up the good work! Always fuel, clean, and complete a maintenance checklist when mooring a boat for more than two hours. Constantly topping off the fuel keeps the thermal dynamics of your fuel vent system from sucking in moist air and condensing it.You will be rewarded with few problems.

Speaking of fuel, my grandfather smelled petrol when he was young: he opened the engine compartment of the boat and saw the floor full of gas. The filler pipe had broken: he was also lucky because my grandmother was a smoker.

@sammylacks4937 2 года назад

Saw a guy with a 20' something Bay boat pump 200 dollars worth in one of the rod holders. No he hadn't been drinking. Just mistook the fuel filler cap for the rod holder tab, inserted fuel nozzle, cranked wide open and set holder. He went inside while the tank ( boat) filled. I would have lost it believing an ignition source would turn my ride into an inferno. Don t leave while whatever is filling. It could have been much much worse

I don't own a boat, but I have friends and relatives that do. That gives me the opportunity to be dock side for various outings and observe other guys that have problems with their engines. It's appalling to witness the almost universal lack of maintenance and mechanical aptitude many boat owners display. All boats require though inspections and service maintenance at regular intervals. No way around it. Basically, they are a hole in the water that you throw money into.

I had a Evinrude 135 v-4 hat never saw saltwater. I always ran the OEM oil to mix with the gas. It would foul the plugs but that was easy to clean by pulling the plugs. I ran it for 20 years with zero problems. The fuel tank was kept full to avoid condemnation.

I had heard that Honda outboards had spark plug issues then I bought a brand new Honda four stroke 15 hp for my aluminum boat. I didn't put many hours on the motor and both plugs died! Luckily I had my trolling motor working. Changed both plugs and it ran great. A few months later, I sold the boat then a few months after that, the new owner called me and said the plugs failed! Last boat I sold last year, had a brand new 90hp 2 stroke that only had 50 hours on it when I sold it. I still needed to change the water separator filter every year!

@SkypowerwithKarl 3 года назад

You forgot the water pump IMPELLER. When they go bad it’s an engine killer. Change them every two years from the time it’s installed regardless of runtime.

@slalomking 3 года назад

Karl Jensen I change mine every 5 years. No problems with that interval. Of course I walk the boat off the sand bar so the pump never sucks up sand. A lot of boaters power onto the bars, then reverse off at the end of the day. Then you'd have to do it more often!

@SkypowerwithKarl 3 года назад

@@slalomking You may be able to get away with it because of the type, brand and your usage. Some people store the boat for long intervals and this can be worse than a lot of run time. The rubber can take a set and the blades never rise again to make contact with the housing. On some pumps they use the same impeller for a big block and a small block engine, but the pump housing is different. The big block has more “cam” in it to displace more water hence pump more water. That makes what may be good for several years on one engine risky on another. There are cheep impeller knock offs out there too.

The best day of my life was getting in the boat business and the next best day of my life after 25 years was getting the hell out.

@sammylacks4937 3 года назад

Well, I ve always heard that. The two happiest days in a boat owners life is the day he buys, and the day he sells. That may be fitting of some, not me. Some people just make better boaters than others. No problem, putting down or disrespect meant. I m not a star athlete, scholar, body builder. I think it comes down to what you really love and are willing to do what it takes to excell. I have been a boat owner since my granddaddy started me fishing at 4 then as he lived in Ky and myself in NC he and I only had limited opportunities. I started fishing ponds on bank on my own or with a few friends . Immediatly my mother and step father banned and promised serious punishment if I continued. I did, they did. My step father anyway. I understand they were worried about me. Anything from drowning to snake bites could occur. But when its in your blood how can you ignore it. After many times being caught mom finally said no more. If I can t stop him, I will help him. She picked me up from school and without saying why or where we were going she took me to a local building supply that also built and sold plywood man boats. There were a couple dozen snd she told me to pic one. I became a boat owner around 7 or 8. A boat has to be transported to water in most cases. Years from getting a drivers license and no way to get from home to water. Well remember if its in your blood and your passion you will find a way. I was the owner of a bike. Hmmm. Put bike on solid surface with kickstand. Lift bow and place on handle bars. Pick up rest and set on seat. You can hold hand in middle of boat. Theres just enough handle bar sticking out to hold and turn. Necessity is the mother of invention. That s wanting to go bad. I had push wih ever increasing gear placed in boat 5 miles or more one way. Sometimes I d hide my boat and gear and could pedal bike home planning to return the next morning. Not recommended unless no other way and you can t keep that cork in the bottle. I loved my granddaddy and wanted to make him proud of me. I hope he is and is aware of what he started and how it progressed as far as it did. From the Mts to the gulfstream. Trout to Wahoo and Mahi but my favorite is and alway will be throwing a lite weight fly cast for copperhead 1 lb + blue gills. Bream, titty bream copper heads. No better fight pound per pound. If they got 5 lbs , wait ... I think they do. Sorta Spade fish Millions of the reef loving schools and they get over 5 to..damn if I know Just like bream. Just a step up. I know they pull like asu mule. I think it needs checking on.

@tt7hvn 2 года назад

Just bought a 91, single battery originally, converted to dual battery (house and starting setup). It was wired all sorts of messed up, 3 circuits doing the same thing coming from 3 different power sources. I've literally pulled about 100ft of just junk extra wiring from the whole boat. What blew my mind was the fuse block is a foot from the ignition but people would tap into the ignition to add a (unprotected) circuit opposed to the fuse block. It drives me insane to see unorganized wiring

@semajniffirg230 Год назад

I'm an engineer for a major vehicle upfitter and I find that the standards of electrical wiring in the marine industry are all over the place and pretty shitty at best. I've rewired almost everything on my boat except the engine management and I've made all the other systems so much less prone to failure and about 1000x easier to work on and troubleshoot if there is a problem.

What brand are you running. I had a Mckeecraft with a 4 Suzuki. 140 hp. Was told when I purchased those motors were bulletproof . Well it was. Later when the Hydroblaster joined my stable it was a 17 Triton CC with a 90 Yamaha. I wanted a jon boat that could throw a roostertail. I had drivers at intersections roll window and shout hey thats not a boat its a rocket ship. I hand picked both and loved them. Brand damn new. I took care of my boats. But ya know I got a story yup. Always. I tell em so others don t have to go thru and suffer like me. They were my babies. But everynow and again it happens. Yup SHIT. My triton I called the hydrblaster from Bass master mag Harry and Charlie fisher comics. My g/f and I loved to ffg founder gig. We were pretty good. I had a generator and 4 500 watt halogen. My buddy ran 6 We could light up Figure 8 My girlfriend and I had system. When loading for trip home she held boat while i backed boat trailer in the we swapped places and I drove boat on , she pulled us out . Then she was done. I stowed everything and got ready for drive home. Jumped in Tohoe and put her in D. Has anyone picked up one my F up. Oh I did. Scotts hill to Lake Waccamaw non stop . I always stopped and backed in lake so everything that went in salt now rinsed in fresh pretty black water. Huh, what color is yours. But when I pulled in lake ramp area and turned to back , I saw the emptiest boat trailer there is. I mean empty as in no damn boat. Hmm. Did I attach strap bow eye and cinch down. My excuse and talk all the shit ya want. Pull a boat many miles as I have and nothing go wrong. Lucky or lying . I ve heard it all but ... I can take it. So 25 grand boat , I m think n up a light pole or a pine tree. I called 911 got NC Highway patrol dispatch and tried to sound like a buddy. Looking for missing boat. On or just off high, what s that, oh found it , Where? Lake Waccamaw high way , that s where I am . .ahhhh I see blue lights ahead bet thats my baby . Since I was the only idiot on the road pulling just a boat trailer , they put 2 n 2 togther and the first snickering burns me. Think thats bad, better n a ticket book. Sheriff dep and Lake cop I knew . Well I had my glich A highway patrol woulda wrote a fat one. For what? Low tire pressure, driving while stupid Hell something. I pulled off enough strap to hang off trailer and disconnected from Tahoe to allow trailer to be pulled under boat Save a couple scratches. They helped me rehook , laughed one more time while I thanked them. Alls well, that ends well I say No I don t care what others say. How many payments did ya make? OK . Yea I Royally F ed up but it coulda been worse huh. Yup imagine cruise n half asleep and whatda hell is that honey!!!. I agree the Lord does look out for drunks and idiots. Was sober as a judge so... I forgot but never again. Only happened once. Went back next night . Gota nother limit and brought boat home too

I recently replaced all the cables on my twin OB boat. With the throttles both at neutral, one prop spins freely, and one was in gear. I know this because I tested it accidentally with my shin. Once the cussing subsided, I realized that I had the shift adapter bottomed out at the motor. I removed the cable, checked the shifter to determine where neutral was, then unscrewed the adapter until it was aligned with the shifter. It's easy to adjust without resorting to voodoo. The engines are both the infamous 99 Evinrude 200 Fichts. I hope I haven't wasted my money!

If I’m not mistaken Ficht fuel injectors is what put OMC out of business. It’s a shame. We have a 99’ Johnson 150 Ocean Pro that is carbureted and it runs great. Those motors are also fast. Our 196 Bay Reef goes 0-20 in 2 seconds. It accelerates like a jet ski. I could be wrong but I don’t think the new four strokes can do that. These old 2 strokes idle and spool up fast.

@mrnotnomis 2 года назад

@@UltraMagaFan So far, so good on those motors. We have been to the lake a few times this summer, and they have worked great. I would rather have a carbed motor too - they are SO much simpler.

@UltraMagaFan 2 года назад

@@mrnotnomis All I gotta say is watch those things. The Ficht injectors have the tendency to not deliver oil to the cylinders. If your motors randomly blow up you know why.

I was in the marine business for a short time it’s gone to hell with four strokes. The added maintenance needed with valve timing head gasket failure timing belts left n right on Yama n mercs I’m amazed there not under water out of business I mean. There heavy slower than a two you 15-20 hour oil change at the dealership is more money you would spend on 2 stroke oil.

@leomatute6871 3 года назад

New subscriber here. Majority of these issues can be SOMEWHAT prevented by regular maintenance. If you wait for stuff to go wrong, then look forward to these issues. I use my boat at least once a week and I get my engines serviced every 3 months...new plugs, new foot oil, and a freshwater flush after every use. It won't last forever, but the goal is keep it as reliable as possible. Great video.

@rehaerman6519 3 года назад

I always inspect my boat before I take it out on the water the way a pilot would inspect his/her plane before flight. I first turn on and on off all the switches (bilge pump, baitwell, all the lights, electronics, VHF radio etc...) to make sure everything works as it is supposed then I check the battery connections and the connections to the battery switch to ensure all cables are tightly connected. Lose cables will cause you all kinds of trouble. I also keep my battery poles clean as a whistle. Any corrosion will mean weak current and that's trouble too. After each trip, I fill up the gas tank 100% with recreational fuel and change my water/fuel separator every six months. Your water/fuel separator is your first line of defense and it only costs 10 bucks. So there is no reason not to replace it regularly. Then I also remove the engine cap and do a visual inspection to make sure every looks good and I also spray the engine with Yamalube every six months. When on land, my batteries are always hooked up to the smart trickle charger. I learned all the above the hard way (I learned from my own mistakes and negligence when I was new to boating!) and if you do your due diligence before you head out, a day on the water will be a day of enjoyment and not a day of agony and embarrassment!!! And of course, I do the regular maintenance (change all the upper and lower fluids, all the filters etc...) every 100 hours or once a year whichever comes first. A well taken care of 4 stroke outboard Yamaha engine can be more reliable than a car engine actually! Yamaha engines ARE THE BEST!!!
