I purchased it from WhalyboatsUSA

If you look in the owner's manual it should list the maintenance schedule for your outboard. For me this was a 2 year or 200 hour service.

That is an awesome idea!! Im going to use that next time. Thanks for the tip!!

Glad you liked the video and that's a great idea for a future one.. Long story short, the outboard has a diagnostics port under the cowling. You can purchase a cable from Suzuki that plugs into the port and will give you all the engine data for the sensors your outboard comes with. That cable is then connected to a NMEA 2000 hub and a NMEA 2000 cable plugs into the back of the Raymarine display with the info.. Its plug and play and is easy to do. My engine doesn't have a ton of sensors on it, but I do get RPM, temperature, engine hours, and fuel consumption.. Let me know if you have any questions on it...

awesome, would you be able to show it on video ! :) @@pacificadventure5792

I had a similar issue at about 120 hours with mine.. I even had to get towed in.. Thanks BoatUS (they were awesome)!!! My issue ended up being the high pressure fuel filter. This outboard actually has two fuel filters under the cowling. The first is the low pressure one that you see when you first take the cowling off. This one was not plugged on mine. To get to the high pressure one, you have to take the side cover off the right side of the engine. There is a small filter just prior to the fuel injection rail that has a much finer filter element than the other one. Once I changed this filter out, it ran great again. This is supposed to be a 1,000 hour filter, but I change it out religiously once a year now and haven’t had another problem. Hope this helps….

Thanks for the comment... I wasn't sure on the terminology of the parts so I had to look them up.. ha ha.. If you are putting the prop back on, the sequence should be, sliding the stopper on the shaft, then the propeller, then the spacer, the washer next(single washer only), then the nut. The nut should not go way past the hole when everything is assembled. The books lists the tightening torque at 18 foot lbs. I hope this helps.. KZbin won't let me attach an image to my comment.. If you need a picture send me you email and I will get one to you... Hope this helps...

@@pacificadventure5792 Thank you for responding. I have it assembled in the right sequence but in order for the nut to line up correctly, I have to reverse the spacer which doesn’t seem right. I agree pictures would help. But if you have the parts diagram handy, I have part #24 (spacer) with the narrow end facing the washer. This doesn’t seem right? Is yours is assembled this way?

The service manual shows the narrow end facing the prop, not the washer... I double checked my outboard and I also have it installed with the narrow portion facing the prop, not the washer.. @@jasper60103

@@pacificadventure5792 Thankyou for confirming. That’s a great help. Something is wrong with my setup.

Anytime... I hope you get it figured out..@@jasper60103

Thanks for the comment!! I have a ton of video content of fishing, diving and boating... I need to go through it and put some more videos together..

Thanks for the comment!! It was not hard to do. In the installation instructions that come with the outboard it tells you how to do it..

Gas tank is 6 1/2 gallons... I burned 6 gallons for the round trip. I had some additional fuel in reserve too just incase...

Ha ha... It was a nice trip... Just pick a good weather window.

The trailer is a CE Smith Multi Sport Plus I bought from etrailer.com. It comes in a box and ships for free... They do go on sale sometimes.. You will need to add a bow roller to the tongue, but other than that it comes with everything that you will need. The only other things that I have added to the trailer are buddy bearings, a swivel jack, and two tie down hooks for the back. Hope this helps..

I have seen pictures of the Whaly 400 and it looks like its going to be a great boat.. Im also interested in watching some reviews of it, but haven't seen any yet.

@@pacificadventure5792 found a guy paired the 400 with an electric outboard. Not useful for what I want to see but oh well. Looks like a great boat but I’d like to see a detailed review of it paired with a Mercury 40hp of course.

The Whaly 400 is a new model and there are only a couple on the West Coast. Soon there should be the initial reviews.

@@mountaingem6 Looking forward to them. 435R is a very good boat. I wonder how 400 compares to 435R with a 40 HP Mercury.

@@KaziQTR The same minus 35cm

Thank you!!! You will have to keep me updated on what boat you end up with...

Hi Lars, Thanks for the comment... Yes!! I also had a Bombard C4 a few years ago.. Im surprised that anyone was able to put that together.. I sold the C4 to buy the 435R. I thought I would have a difficult time selling the C4, but it sold fast... It took about a week. The C4 was a great boat and I never had any problems with it. The build quality was very good, it was easy to put together and it is about 240 lbs lighter than the 435R. If you are limited on storage space and are planning on disassembling the boat to store it, its a good option.. For me, the 435R is a better option. I don't have to worry about hooks, spearguns, or gaffs putting a hole in it, it is a smoother ride through the water, its easier to load on the trailer, its easier to clean after a day on the water, and it has a LOT more storage space. Both boats are the same size, but the 435R feels like a much bigger boat. It also feels safer because you are sitting inside the boat rather than on top of the tubes. My C4 didn't have a console so it made it difficult to mount things like a fish finder, compass, etc.. I really love the console on the 435R. In addition to having a place to mount things, it allows me to stand up and operate the boat. In rough seas, being able to stand up when you're driving lets your legs absorb all the bumps and jolts. I had to always sit when driving the C4 and my back would be sore after a long day in choppy water. Not so with the 435R... I hope some of this info helps... If you have any more questions, please let me know...

@@pacificadventure5792 Thank you very much for your detailed answer. It helps me a lot. Please carry on making such good videos.

I have hours and hours of boat and dive footage, but many of the videos have people in them that don't want to be on youtube... Is there anything in particular that you are looking for?

@@pacificadventure5792 I just ordered whaly 400 and Yamaha 40hp. I’ll get them in June. I might try to install the engine myself. Maybe you can help me out if I get stuck? Haha. Is it possible if you can show me your electronic set up? Like the starter battery and deep cycle battery? Did you connect them both together or have them separated?

@@longkdoan Congrats on the Whaly 400!!! That looks like a really nice boat. Im no expert, but I installed my engine by myself and it wasn't too difficult. Let me know if you have any questions and I will gladly help out.. Do you local in SoCal? The electronics I currently have are a Raymarine Element fish finder, bilge pump, and USB charger. I only use one battery which is a WestMarine dual purpose AGM battery (size is a Group 24). This battery is plenty for all of my needs. I just added the new fish finder and am going to rewire some things. I made a diagram of the wiring I am going to do and will gladly send a copy to you if you want.. Just send me your email address.

@@pacificadventure5792 thank you for your replies. it helped a lot. i didn't know about dual purpose battery. ill check them out. and no I live in norcal but ill be picking up the whaly 400 in long beach.

@@longkdoan No Problem.... Im excited for you!!! Let me know if you have any questions and I will gladly help out..

I get this question a lot... I haven't looked lately, but I'm sure the prices have gone up since I bought mine.. The best thing to do is go on Whaly USA's website.. They have a price list and do sales sometimes too.. You can also price out outboards online too... That should get you in the ball park...

@@pacificadventure5792 thanks so much I’m seriously looking at purchasing one of these

I am curious about the hydrofoils myself, but I don't have any experience with them. My biggest hesitation with trying one out is I don't want to drill any permanent holes into the outboard. My little 30 does pretty good, but there are some times like when I have 6 people on board or 3 guys with full scuba gear and 6 scuba tanks when I think a hydrofoil could help me get on plain faster.. I wish I had some hard facts for you that I could tell you how great they are, but I don't.. Try reaching out to avowilor.. He has a youtube channel and I noticed he has a hydrofoil on his Tohatsu 30.. If you get one let me know... I love to know how much one helps....

@@pacificadventure5792 Thank You!

Mine did not come assembled and that was not an option when I purchased it. It may be an option now tho... Putting it together was a fun project for me. I did it over the course of a weekend and really enjoyed it. Doing it this way, you get to pick and choose each individual component and in the end, you have a much better understanding of how the boat works..

I don't find it to be a problem. The Nav Arch actually adds a ton of functionality to the boat. It gives me a place to keep fishing rods out of the way so the rods won't get damaged, you can troll with a rod in the holder, I use it for my navigation lights, I use it to hold my dive flag, its a great speargun rack... The list goes on an on. My last boat didn't have one, Im so glad that this one does.

Awesome!! I hope that you love the boat as much as I do... Looking forward to seeing some of your videos...
