4 DAYS UNTIL LIVING IN THE CARAVAN FULL TIME - Outboard Motor NEW Mount Configuration!

Welcome back to another episode and Thank you for being here.
THERES ONLY 4 MORE DAYS UNTIL WE FINALLY ARE ON THE ROAD WITHOUT A END DATE IN SIGHT.
In this episode after much conversation we finally have a outboard motor mount storage configuration and system we feel confident with for our travels.
Your probably thinking, Why did they change it?
For a couple of reasons..
First, The original outboard mount we had was really tall even though It had the winch system we still felt like we needed 2 people as its quite a heavy outboard.
Second, Positioning - If you have been following us you would remember when Luke hit out car on the outboard motor when turning
Thirdly, Ball weight - Ideally we want to balance our van weight as best as we can.
We both now feel so confident with this set up and are loving it so far!
Will keep you updated when this is in constant use on the road.
If you haven't already please like and subscribe we appreciate it!
See you on the next one :)

Soft blanket and then a cover. Padlock that motor down. And make sure you cover the cowling or it will come off out the back a Bourke some where. And take ya prop off. Store it some where else. Or someone else will... Alex is one of the good ones Luke. Well done m8

Hey guys. Funny you say about the number plate. We got a sunset caravan and they put the number plate on our van behind the jerry can. Smart hey

[@thatfalzonfamily]

[@MargaretM-bc6cf]

It will be interesting to see how they go travelling with it there.

[@ProbinsiyanaSaAustralia]

[@chrismamo1987]

Looking good guys 👌👌

[@thatfalzonfamily]

We can’t wait mate thank you ☺️ hope your well

[@jobail01]

Sorry to say but the stowage location of the outboard is simply dangerous and will have a negative impact on the way the van tows/handles. The drawbar location was just plain stupid and now the weight so far out the back is certainly not a good decision. It doesn't matter how strong the 5 arm rear carrier is, it's the distance from the axles that you have placed that weight, the further back the greater the weight of the outboard becomes a negative factor simple as that.

[@rossevans1774]

It’s all been worked out

[@justinosughrue9710]

you guys have do so much travling so much

[@thatfalzonfamily]

Yes we are we can’t wait for it 😀 how are you today?

[@jasonhenningsen2119]

Make sure you put a spacer inside the rhs for your bolts

[@chats5957]

Might have to explain to them what RHS is

[@thatfalzonfamily]

Cheers mate

[@callumbailey9574]

Yes it’s got to be up mate

[@rossevans1774]

You have added what? 175 kg to the worst place on your rig. It's not just adding weight in the back of the van, it's adding weight 'further back outside the van'. I would suggest you do some research into the possible implications of what you have done.

[@thatfalzonfamily]

It’s all been worked out

[@Johnny_835]

Use ur car winch to get the boat on and off

[@GWS90]

Nice...

[@thatfalzonfamily]

Thank you ☺️ how are you @?

[@crazzydave3316]

You need to put rubber under the leg holder then strap it down

[@thatfalzonfamily]

Ok mate I will look into it

[@callumbailey9574]

How’d u go gettin boat off bro

[@thatfalzonfamily]

Stay tuned bro

[@crazzydave3316]

Your going to need a cover to go over the motor you have to keep dust of the motor as best you you can the dust on out back roads goes through everything

[@thatfalzonfamily]

Yes your 💯 right I will look into it mate

[@58chucka]

Hi Luke. A quick question: Is that a 4 stroke outboard? If so, they really shouldn't be laid down as oil from the crank case will leak back into the combustion chamber. The current position on your motor trolley is ok, but the motor should not be layed down flat. I was originally going to have 4 stroke for my travels but was talked out of it by the Marine Sales guy. Happy and safe travels.

[@thatfalzonfamily]

No you can lean them how we have. You just have to stand it up before starting it for about 20 minutes so all the oil can run back down

[@callumbailey9574]

Luke ur goin to need a spacer on the back

[@MrToyota67]

Did you make a 2nd video of getting the boat off the Nissan?

[@user-xx1ph1rq1c]

Let us know how the caravan tows with the weight of the outboard on the back.

[@andreajenkins2545]

So the times you have to drive just in the Car to launch the Boat somewhere you will have to lift it in & out of the Car is that right .

[@thatfalzonfamily]

I will get a trailer

[@Johnny_835]

First

[@thatfalzonfamily]

Hey how are you?

[@Johnny_835]

Also can’t wait till you guys get on the road and be waking up to the best views in au

[@callumbailey9574]

It’s needs a gap luke

[@rothburger]

Less is more,,, are you really planning on doing that each time you wanna use the boat🤷🏼‍♂️ You’ll get sick of doing that after the 10th time..

[@pauljohns1016]

[@user-xx1ph1rq1c]
