Can I Fix 8 Military Outboard Engines?

[@johnwhauserman]

I love watching a guy that really knows what he's doing, and makes it look easy.

[@chillplacatetrance9213]

Amen to that.

[@marzipan4993]

Props to you for being a quality content creator! Most youtubers would try to make a 20 video long series out of these 8 motors! Thank you for what you do!

[@DiabloOutdoors]

Well said.

[@justjackfromsc]

The military ought to hire you to be their boat guy. It would probably save a lot of money. Thanks for the video and God bless.

[@johnwren3976]

As if the military has any interest in saving tax dollars..🙄

[@mini696]

Nah, they have a cycle life and get replaced working or not.

Great Videos!!! I'm a 34 year Johnson & Evinrude tech specializing in small motors from 2 to 50 h.p.. I love everything about them! Good to see someone else taking up the cause! Two stroke motors especially J. & E. motors, are NUMBER ONE!!!!!

[@corystewart2838]

It was such a pleasure working with you to fix all of these engines. Highly recommend to anyone looking for boat engine repair!! Amazing work on these engines, they performed flawlessly for training! Thank you so much for all your work and attention to detail! I have another new to us engine for you to look at...

[@sheila9358]

I would watch longer versions of these being repaired..I know editing takes a long time..

Can't beat those 80s-90s johnny-rude twin 2 strokes; good job.

[@willhilton-kent1392]

[@TBendez]

Nice to see you get 7/8 fully working! A 55 hp outboard ran on a handle must feel pretty lively!

[@anthonyalmon9403]

I'd like to comment on the condition of those engines - both before and after the fabulous repairs. I organize and run a training for the Naval Sea Cadets that involves a lot of boating. In years past, we have spent nearly half the "training time" trying to get our motors running. Not this year. The engines were in superb condition and greatly contributed to the best training we've run in the last 7 or 8 years!

[@Imahotsaucefreak]

You are a heck of a boat motor mechanic and boat restoration guy! Props to you brother!!

[@Michael-cf9lf]

Brother allot of us love your channel don't quit.

[@livintheislandlife7561]

Dude where have you been all this time 😂

[@lJADU]

Would love to get some insight into the financials! How much you can buy them for, what your time/labor (not to mention knowledge) costs, and how much you could potentially sell them for. Thanks for sharing!

[@prewettcr]

Truly awesome - masterly produced and edited. Fixing a carb prob ON THE WATER was highlight of overall brilliant mechanics - thanks Boat Guy!

[@davidwright2706]

I notice they are all 2 stroke engines, sometimes the old school technology works the best.

[@nabox1435]

And they were made by OMC (Johnson/Evinrude)

[@chikendagr8994]

well i mean all these engines were replaced with newer engines soooo

[@kmatthewj]

@@chikendagr8994 it is the government soooo lmao

[@nabox1435]

@@chikendagr8994 people think old = less reliable. It’s not the case a lot of the time. A lot of new things are bought when they aren’t needed at all…

[@chikendagr8994]

@@nabox1435 I mean there is some truth to it. Older stuff has more hours, which makes them less reliable than new stuff, which usually has less hours. Also now all the major outboard brands are all reliable, where 30 years ago you had the reliable and the unreliable brands.

[@williamhammerstrom6454]

You are talented and fearless! Hey I know that you tune a lot of carbs. But for the rest of us, carbs are hard! Maybe in a future episode, you could do like a full tour of the different types of carbs, their components, and what is most likely to go wrong. Thanks so much. The 8 outboards has been my favorite episode yet!

[@PapaDan]

Great content. I graduated from Charlotte high school. Punta Gorda Florida. Sophomore junior and senior year’s multiple hours in the marine mechanics class. Your videos bring back old memories.

[@troyfall6573]

I like hearing what you paid for the motors and then how much it cost you in time and money to repair. You make it look so easy. Now the engines just need new paint jobs and decals.

[@deantheboatguy1437]

you have a surprisingly large amount of knowledge for your age !!!!!! I wish there were more like you!! sharing what you're sure of without claming to know what you dont yet know 48 years in the buiz for a living plus a little racing and your work cought my eye keep up the good work!!!!

[@richardmessenger9474]

Loved working on these..we had 30 Johnson/Evenrude 40s in the mid 70s for boat patrols on the Belize Guatemalalan Border...must have totally rebuilt every one of them in 8 months..they had a hard life...some sunk in the river..some seized due to lack of oil...smashed from hitting sunken debris....loved working on them...

[@chrissherman4357]

I am a born tinkerer and love to watch these videos. So jealous of your knowledge and expertise!!! Just love the idea of bringing a lost cause back to life, just amazing, keep the great content coming.

[@regressmenot]

Yoooooooooo! Make a video. People never get tired of used engine revival videos.... problem solving from beginning to end, fuel, electric, mechanical. Love your content, really hoping you're not giving it up. Hope all is well, Merry Christmas to you and your family.... and Happy New Year to you.

Great job!! We used those for training and they worked flawlessly! Thanks so much for what you do!

[@JerryChanD]

OMG you fixed all of those beautiful motors! Just found how amazing you have done this video so simple and to the point! Actually, most of 2 stroke motors really easy to do their works just need to know the fundamental elements for the motors, and those 2 strokes could run like a charm!

[@Stumblingthunder]

OMG? No, OMC!

I’m not a boat guy and not sure why this even popped up, but I totally enjoyed the video and will definitely blame you if I suddenly decide to buy a boat! LoL

[@stevejohnstonbaugh9171]

There's the ultrasonic cleaner! But yu need the next size up so you can get a total submersion. But hey - headed in the right direction 😊Because you like your engines to look clean - if your not going to do the full detail under the hood, hit the guts witih your high pressure air hose. That will tidy it up right quick.

' Those are motors for the MARS (Marine Amphibious Reconnaissance System), which was usually mated to a Zodiac F-470 CRRC (Combat Rubber Raiding Craft), used by USMC Force Recon, US ARMY SF & Rangers, Navy SEALS, USAF STS, etc. I think they are based on Johnson Commercial motors, modified with the drain system, they also came with a silencer system, which was acoustic pads fitted around the case and top of the lower unit. Thanks for bringing a few of them back to life, I have many fond memories of long nights at sea running those bad boys.
