I don't own a boat, never owned a boat and probably will never own a boat but for some reason these videos are so damn addicting. Crazy how much he knows about these motors

I've been doing outboards for over 30 years and what you watching is an accurate display of outboard repair but beware sometimes in the short demos things look a lot easier than they turn out to be

[@incognitoyt7940]

Really helpful mate, interestingly the majority of repairers turn out to be simple. Thanks for putting your knowledge out, you always keep it simply. I recently did my 3 carbs saving myself labour cost. Carb kits were $120.00 for the 3 and I was quoted $325.00 all up. So I saved $ 205. Aus dollars from watching you. Awesome

[@ahmedalameer6952]

I would love to learn how to fix motors like you. I have sailed my entire life and I always struggle with outboard motors that either wont start or have issues running smoothly. Your channel is a good source of knowledge

[@andysangels1970]

I had a 6hp 2stroke 93 Suzuki sit for 4 years in my basement, I’d been watching your videos for a while now so I decided why not get this one going for the summer so I pulled it out the basement, fixed our tender for the sailboat, and all I had to do was clean the carb and put new gas, thanks to your videos it was a breeze lol! I would have paid for it to be done if it wasn’t for you! Keep it up

[@danp4452]

I like to know what type of oil you use when you have to add it to the motors. Also it be cool to see you diagnose more broken engines without knowing what’s wrong with it. Really helps me and I bet others learn so much! Great videos!

[@steverinehart787]

Love the older Evinrude 15 hp. That little engine is really clean. Hope you find a impeller for it.
