Is there anything I can do for that motor to make it have more power and faster

Hey are you two still living year round on the boat? Maybe this is a longshot, but would you ever be up for giving a tour of the living situation and marina set up in person? As a basically lifelong boater, I am really interested in exploring the liveaboard life. I live in Pilsen, so it would be convenient for me. Cheers!

Good video man

Hi there, any chance you will share the part number for the thermostat you found??

We had an onan on our Gibson and I couldn't get gaskets quick enough so I "temporarily" made them out of a cereal box. They were still holding 2 years later when I sold the boat

At 2 min in it kinda felt like “House” was explaining my outboard to me haha great video

😂 loving the lingo 😂

So I have looked everywhere for fresh content or a up date about where are you now but it’s not clear whether this channel is still running or not?? Wish you both all the best ❤

They were paper gaskets. Next time (hope there isn't one but....) a paper grocery sack can be used, you can buy gasket material and make your own....waiting two months.... Wow.

Was that first lock Brandon Rd?

Does the river ever freeze up? Wondering what that would do to the boat.

Poor preventative maintenance practices and lack of knowledge. Any auto parts store has rolls of gasket material to make your own replacement gaskets. All else fails red rtv does it all.

I have an evinrude 70, trying to get the motor unlocked. Any tips?

Pretty cool how y’all deface government property with your stickers 😡

By the way he lives in Chicago now because he was a sneak aboard don't believe anyone saying its easy to get a live aboard!

You didn't tell everybody about The three year waiting list.Guess what as soon as you buy the boat you have to move it out of the slip😮 And that's pretty much all of CA.😢

😂😂 about 2,500 in marina del rey ...yeah right...that would be the cost to live in a freezer in apple valley

Maybe buy a new boat with a new generator

Good Showing I enjoyed immensely 👌 from Columbus Ohio

I have all the manuals on this. I can email them to you. I am fixing mine now.

Big Block Chevys run best around 160-180 , I know in my boat they’re 140 thermostats though .

Doesn't the river freeze?

Elon is coming out with a line of turbo diesel vehicles for 2027. Also, he is buying KZbin.

Hi nice video. Not a nice feeling running low on fuel. I've learnt that lesson. I wish you slowed down the removal of the carbs as it is a job I have to do. I'm worried Ill put the links back and the boat will run rough. Can you do a video showing the carb removal and repairs. Thanks all the way from Australia

Can't see shit lol

There are “Boat Library” on Lake Erie in Ohio

I just bought a 75 model 70 horse. ... Havnt tried it yet

Hi I want to get the carbs off. Do the links to the carbs just pull off. Thanks

All those fluids are going some place.

Yes it is

Why didn’t you put the mast back up? After I hit the Mississippi I’d got it up.

You’re on the Tenn-Tom Waterway. Get ready for the locks.

Did the owners of this boat not have it inspected before buying it? This thing needs a complete refit in machanical.

Where are you guys?

Did no one tell you about the water front commission, they allow only a certain number of live aboards per each marina for environmental reasons and the wait list for a live aboard slip is years long. I live on my 30’ Ericson in Berkeley, in California slip fees average about $10 a foot without live aboard , that adds another $200 per month. 🤙🤙🤙🐮☮️

This makes me feel so good that these million dollars yaughts are just as F'd up as the lil ones

Living a bill ord in CA Spain…,

Would have wanted to see where you tapped into the engine

I use star bright black streak remover

I'm looking to liveaboard in a Chicago houseboat too. Where is the name of the marina that allows you to stay there all 4 seasons??

Just buy the tool for a few bucks to pump in new gear oil makes it a lot easier. Anyway i have the 88 70 hp Evinrude version pf this motor. Runs pretty good. Ran some seafoam through it and that seemed to help it run a bit smoother. Still has a rough idle so may need to do a carb cleaning. Went it runs though it is very smooth and pushes my little bumble pretty good.

Are you sure it's 50% more? On Marina Del Rey's website it says: "Liveaboard fees are 50% of the basic slip rate." So then is that a lie? If not that would mean he has a huuge boat

Your running on only 2 cylinders most likely the cracked coil is probably misfiring and your loosing 1/3rd of your gas down a dead cylinder.

You can buy a pump and hose and pump that gear oil in no time.

Is their a certain gear oil to be used on this motor?

Great tour And Boat ! Good that you shot some 'before' photos for comparison. In the galley, if I'm correct, is that a photo of the Southern California mountains? Tells you where I'm from !

You probably need to replace the lower unit since the skeg is missing which could counteract the torque of the propeller trying to flip you to port.

A place like that I would never do business with again. You didn’t take it there for him to tell you it’s not worth fixing if someone wants something fixed then they want it fixed. For him to say he won’t work on it because it’s not worth it is poor business. If someone is going to pay the money to fix it said it’s none of your business whether it’s worth it or not as a business owner

You 2 are so waisted making this video 😊you aren't even kidding anybody

I suggest wrapping a 1 gallon ziplock around the oil filter, and once off, draining the filter with the oil pump. Then fill the filter with clean oil before screwing on. It's neat to watch the filter absorb the new oil, so fill it a few times. Then if you are really a nal, warm up the oil and change it again. I've been told as long as the filter is new this is not necessary. Still......Then pump used oil back into the new/empty oil container and drop it where you purchased the oil. As well as the filter.
