If it’s wrecked you got nothing to lose! Hated those alarms! Hated the batteries and the charger too. I would be interested to know how you go?

@@Micington I’ll tinker around with it when I get time. If I have any success I’ll post a video and share the link here for others. Sucks that the 600s don’t have any screws either. Have to get real janky and cut the back off with a dremel lol

Hewfffff!! 😅 glad it worked for you. You gotta make sure insulation is scratched off good but be delicate! Always blob up the solder before applying to disperse heat instantly to whatever you’re soldering

Haha thanks for the advice but I’ve invested too much into making the inboard diesel work. I haven’t heard much good about em and have zero experience with them. I do prefer the look of inboards though. It’ll all be documented so you can say I told you so to me later! Haha

Very happy to hear! Glad to help! 🍻 🍻

Sorry I’m not that sweaty. You got aim-bot kid!

@@Micington you need to get aim bot on lock!

@@blakebrown590 I’m not a hacker . I’m just a bot

@@Micington what’s that

Hello over there friend! Good to hear you’re making progress on yours! I have hardly touched it this year because I’ve been working away from home so much this year… job finishes soon so I’ll hopefully get more time to work on it! 🤞 I’ve bought some stuff for it atleast

@@Micington your doing better than Myself! Also super busy decided to work on vehicle toys for a while. Hadnt ride my motorcycles for years due to surgeries the past few years. Now have bikes up and running and vehicle toys as well, think this winter will go after Bert, Perhaps! Smiles Glad all is well with you and Yours

@@Micington PS did do motor for Bert! 475 hp original Mercruiser engine originally built by Mercury Performance Offshore Marine and Added some Steroids!! Fuel injection bigger heads exhausts and Mo Money into it. When I first got it, got 64 mph out of it. Hoping for 80 it Does have the original TRS OUT DRIVE AND BORG WARNER TRANS, So all running gear is collecting dust! Use my 17 mako for fishing and convenience it's wash n wear. Don't think the Vert will be active daily type boat just a once n a while thing! It's the Only One like it! Lol if I drop dead my kids will probably say goodbye to it! Their Daddy has too many Toys roflmao

Hahaha yeh not the funnest thing I’ve ever done. Hopefully all pay off soon. Working away from home this entire year! Can’t wait for this job to be done to get back into it! Good luck man! Try not to make all the mistakes I did! lol 😂

Work work work … hardly been home this year. Might get a break soon🤞

Thanks mate! Glad it hasn’t scared you haha 😆 Good luck I hope you find something good!

You need to open the unit up. Follow where the power pins wires go. Solder your own wires to these wires and get them out of the unit and seal the hole. 12v was easy to find. Milwaukee m12 batteries have 2 large places for pins to go and these are negative and positive (use multi meter to find). I think in one of my earlier blobs i got a funny intro and you can see me connecting it up but it depends on how you pull the wires out of the unit. I used multi meter a lot to probe where wires went but I can’t remember now. One thing I do know is the speed controller from eBay is much much better and I’ve never had any problems since. Other than wires breaking on rare occasions but very simple fix. Sorry I probably didn’t giv much help there 😂

@@Micington thank you for getting back to me! did you just solder only two wires, one for neg and positive. I tried to solder the neg and positive wires of the m12 battery to the neg and positive pins of the unit. A bunch of smoke came out and it looks like the ribbon that goes from the battery gold pins to the main board burned up. Did you solder the m12 batteries directly to the board or the ribbon that connects to the board? Thank you for your help!

Thanks mate! Glad you found me! Working away atm so haven’t had much time working on it in afraid

Me too!! Thanks mate 🍻

Thanks mate 🍻

🍻 🍻 yah thanks hahah

Hey man! Yes I used 316 stainless staples or at the minimum 304stainless. I’m trying hard to work on it. I been working away from home this entire year so far.

Blob by blob

Haha next Tuesday I should get time! Yaya hopefully get a few days on it atleast

Hahah

Shot g! Thanks

That would’ve been nice. Haha I looked around for second hand seats but no luck. Bit of work putting it on. I would’ve glued less places if I did it again.

Thanks! I agree. I should’ve been fussier with where I glued

Thanks mate. I used a little turps seemed fine

Hahah I’m too impatient to wait long enough for it to do that. Probably should’ve mentioned that lol oops

🍻

I’m sorry I haven’t seen one I don’t think. How many prongs does the battery have? How many volts is the battery? Can u tap straight into the terminals where the battery clips in? Hope that makes sense??

@Micington got it working its also 4.8v just used the old plug that goes to the battery it had red black green and white just used the power and ground and works. Thanks

Thanks mate. Finding it really hard to get time to do anything on the boat this year so far. Hopefully get some time on it soon though.

@Micington sometimes it's the 20 minutes here and there that make a difference and grow the enthusiasm. Loving the blow by blow footage btw.... cheers

This was one of the first videos I ever made. I’ll try to do a longer video in the future. Thanks for your feedback! My parents love their boat

Hahah give it time

Very annoying. The new style batteries are fine though

Very annoying. The new style batteries are fine though

Hello over there! Thank you. Working away from home for most of this year so I haven’t been able to get much work done

@@Micington a good project is about the journey. Don't worry about finishing fast, just make sure you finish.

Haha thanks tommothy! I hope you win!!! I been hitting the lotto hard lately hahaha

I’ll try to get some one day.

@@Micington ok !!!!!!!!!!!

I’ll try to get some next time my parents take their boat out in rough seas and I’m with them! Haha 😂

@@Micington :) ok

Thanks mate 🍻

I prefer the look of the boat with inboards . Maybe later down the track if inboard is too much work and too slow???

Yes much better. Thanks ! 🍻

Thanks moon pig 🐷

Hahah yessss need to work on that

Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for the encouragement! Cheers 🍻

Thank you very much! I gotta catch up on your build. Hope all is going well

Thanks for thinking I’m not an idiot haha , and another thanks! I’m very proud of my Mrs and son. The intro was just a bit of fun, I just wanted to make people laugh. No ohmage or offense intended. The videos are all about building the best 25ft Bertram on the planet! I’ll tell everyone the real reasons why I begun the build, one day in a future video. I definitely didn’t expect it to take this long though! There’s so many other things I’d like to do. I appreciate your consistent support hommie! 🍻 🍻

Sorry about that best friend, I would never leave you haha I can’t wait to get the work done for the next episode but time is not on my side at the moment. Working away from home much more than I expected. I gotta take it while it’s there! Thanks for always supporting me! 🍻 🍻

Thanks Dennis! It’s actually got a super long usb cable coiled up… I will change it out for an expensive shorter cable and let you (and everyone else) know if it works! Awesome thanks!!! 🍻 Where abouts are you? I’m in Scarborough

@@Micington Just the other side of the creek at Capalaba. Did it lose comms or lose it's arc? (I'm def not an authority on this but know some people have the loss of comms issue from noise).

Nice one. Not sure about the comms yet. I haven’t had a chance to play yet

Thanks, will do! Cheers 🍻

Yay! Thank you! 🍻

Hahahahahha I’ll try to keep Boeing’s work ethics in my mind in these tuff times ;) hahaha 😂 🍺 🍻 🍻

Hahah I was away from home working unfortunately

Hope you enjoyed it! Thanks for your support! 🍻
