How to service an outboard motor

[@creej2259]

Hands down best video on a 2 stroke outboard

[@davidharlem6824]

These videos are awesome! As a first-time boat owner, I find them really informative. Really good value!

[@rabukan5842]

This is the best video I've seen on servicing a 2 stroke outboard, mainly because you are an excellent teacher! Glad I found this, even if it's from 4 years ago. Well done mate!

[@DangarMarine]

Thanks mate, glad you liked it.

[@homerwashington8118]

I'll second that motion, 5 years after the fact! (thanks Dangar!)

[@tiemanmalcolm]

Without doubt the best outboard maintenance video I’ve seen, clear and concise, terrific for any boaty, thank you.

[@DangarMarine]

You're welcome mate, glad you liked it.

[@geoffmeurk8821]

I did my time as a petrol mechanic in the early 1970's in New Zealand, I was a car mechanic. Having said that, I have always had a boat since I was 19 years old, and always done my own servicing on my outboards. I just wanted to say that you make very good videos and explain things very well. Just a little tip you may find useful at some stage, I watched your video on dealing with a seized outboard motor, and it brought back memories when I had a seized 115 HP Evinrude one year many moons ago. You are very correct when you say, not to keep swinging on the breaker bar, when you can't get the engine to turn over, as it will only cause unnecessary damage to the bores and or rings. After trying soaking the cylinders with the same liquids you mentioned, and still not being able to turn the thing over, I eventually made up a concoction or mixture of coca cola and malt vinegar. Left that overnight, and presto, in the morning, the engine had unseized. Once clearing the fluids out of the cylinders, as you have very well explained, to prevent hydraulics from occurring and cracking heads etc, the motor fired up no problem. The mixture of coca cola and malt vinegar was about 50/50, but I expect the actual ratio was not at all critical. Hope this may help someone one day. Anything to prevent further damage and to resurrect perfectly good motors. Incidentally, I always wintered the engine properly every year after that. Many thanks Geoff (aka Playdoe)

[@DangarMarine]

Hey Geoff, I've heard of coca cola being used to free things like injectors, interesting idea to mix it with a bit of vinegar too. It makes sense that using a mild acid can free something that lubricant alone can't too. I'll be sure to give it a try next time.

[@PennsPens]

10/10... This videos absolutely gold and illustrates good maintenance & service program. Simple to understand with easy to follow instruction. Thanks so much for investing your time to help to ensure we stay safe on the water - really appreciated.

[@Sobofiredog]

I just want to thank you for your videos; I find them very helpful and informative. I am a DIY guy in Michigan, USA running a Yamaha 50HP. I have learned a bunch from you!

[@DangarMarine]

Thanks mate, glad you are find the vids helpful. :)

[@poemranger]

I have an old 88 bumble bee bass boat that has been sitting for a long time. I’m going to go thru it and get it ready for the water now that I actually have time at home. Thank u for this video. This is by far the best outboard motor guide I have found thus far.

[@DangarMarine]

Thanks mate, good luck with the outboard.

[@jamesthom23]

I've never commented on a video before but feel completely compelled to this time. You're absolutely brilliant! Very clear and informative. I'm learning an enormous amount from you. Keep them coming!

[@DangarMarine]

Thanks James, comments from people getting value out of the videos always makes it feel worthwhile. :)

[@philldownes8685]

simple plain video for everyone to understand, clear voice no silly talk and calling stuff by silly names..... one of the best people to watch on youtube for any advice on outboards... if all boat shops worked like him there would be a lot less boats breaking down...

[@nathanmayo7101]

I will be attacking my first lower unit on Yamaha 50 2 stroke in 2 hours. I think the impeller is shredded. What a great help this has been for me.

[@nathanmayo7101]

Rats ! The impeller was in fine shape, BUT......thanks to your telling me to put it in reverse before I dropped the lower unit, it was simple to rotate the prop to align the splines when it went back on. I did not use the trick of the ratchet strap, but I did suspend the foot with a rope about an inch below while I was jockeying the splines into position.........made it much easier, especially since I was standing in 18 inches of water in a lake with alligators. I am now thinking my overheat problem is caused by calcium buildup in the cooling passages. I will be flushing with a product called called RYDLYME, which seems to have a good reputation. Ever use that one? Thanks for everything!

@@DangarMarine immensely! I'm about to buy my first boat and your videos really demystify a lot of the complexity and give me a lot of confidence. Might even be a good topic for a video - DIY diligence for purchasing used motors. Hope your channel gives you all the success you deserve.

This is probably now Yamaha’s official service training video, thank you, the info provided here will allow my engine to be running for years to come.

[@DangarMarine]

You’re welcome. :)

[@castawayconcepts]

I live in Costa Rica and last year got a 20ft with a 90 Honda on it. Its hard to find any decent marine mechanics here and still pretty expensive. Im doing all my own work on the boat and these videos have been a serious life saver. I worked on classic cars in the states and working on the boat motor was a good transition for me. I have the 1998 Honda 90 4 stroke and that thing sips gas. Keep up the awesome videos!

[@DangarMarine]

Hi mate, glad the vids have been helping you with your boat. Enjoy your time on the water! :)

[@circe42]

Thank You for the very informative video. People such as yourself are an asset to the average boater .

[@DangarMarine]

Glad it was helpful!

[@gariG2]

Thank you. All your videos are great and have finally helped me brake the mystery of marine outboards. I now feel confident working on my old engine and servicing it. Also, through watching you’re previous videos you’ve generously passed on a huge amount of knowledge that will enable anyone to buy a second hand engine with confidence (knowing what to look out for) and to deal with dealership repairs or servicing, especially when getting the feeling you’re having the wool pulled over your eyes or being fleeced, unfortunately this happens from time to time. 👍🍺👏🏻

[@DangarMarine]

You're welcome mate, glad you've found the videos helpful. :)

I’m 10 mins in And, so impressed Thx bro🙏 Expect this will not be last I watch whole video

[@NinjaXr8]

Having recently purchased my first boat I've found your videos invaluable. This video was a great introduction into maintenance of outboards and you provide great explanations and tips. 10 outta 10 pale ales👍👍 Cheers

[@DangarMarine]

Thanks Chris, have fun with your new boat!

[@jackhelvey3102]

New boat owner, your videos have been very clear and helpful. Thanks and great job

[@rustyh1686]

Hey mate. I just bought a 2001 Qinnie Spirit, Yamaha 130 2stroke about 4 months ago. She has 400hrs, but sat quite a bit before I got her. Im pretty green to power boats, but loving every minute of it. I keep her moored in Lake Macquarie and spend all my weekends out there, even sleeping on her a lot. I have been watching a lot of your videos, and finding them both helpful and easy to understand, keep it up. This morning I woke up in the middle of the lake, kicked the moter over and let it warm up while pulling in my lines , and anchor. Then started heading over to a nearby wharf so my little four legged first mate could empty his bladder. I noticed a couple of coughs, which wasn't unusual, as Ive been planning to replace plugs and leads in the hope that this will be rectified. So I layed the throttle down hoping to clear her out a bit, instead it kept coughing a bit and topped out at around 4000rpm instead of 5500rpm. She did settle and start running a bit smoother but still only 4000rpm. We got a fair bit of rain last night and although my wife got quite wet on her side of the boat, I'm pretty sure we got no water into the fuel system. So I pulled her out of the water and onto the trailer for the first time today.I plan to do plugs, leads and compression test. Then fuel filter, general check over and maybe even pull carbys off and clean out. See how that goes. I would really appreciate any advice you might have on my potential problem and how I am planning on attacking it. Thanks and keep it up

[@DangarMarine]

Hi Russel. It could be down one cylinder which is giving you the drop in RPM. That could be from water on the HT lead causing it to lose spark or just a bad spark plug. I would start by doing the plug and lead replacement you were already planning and see if the problem is still there.

[@rustyh1686]

I meant to let you know that I got tied up scrubbing barnicles and other things boat needed, then quickly replaced spark plugs at end of the day and it seems to be running like a dream, as well as picking up about 4knots with the smooth bum. so cheers. The Yamaha dealer told me that to replace the leads I have to buy the whole coil as they are one unit. $96 each on a v4. Glad I didnt yank them out. Do you know if there is a way to replace the leads on these without doing the coil. PS Appreciate the vids, nice to be able to watch good boating vids without a septic tank accent

[@windfulnes5021]

This is helping me a lot. I'm still learning how to do these things. My grandpa and I have a hobby to flip outboard motors.

[@reggiehallman355]

I've watched several of your videos and found them very helpful. One thing I learned, especially working on 2 strokes, is to check compression before performing any other service. I appreciate your taking the time to make these videos and I think I speak for most when I say THANKS!

[@DangarMarine]

You're welcome Reggie. It is a good point about checking compression as if it is low, no point scratching your head about any of the finer points.

Excellent video for those of us who are interested in doing our own maintenance. Everything looks straight forward and doable for anyone who has some mechanical ability. I am thinking of buying an outboard soon but I don't want to pay the high maintenance fees to keep it in top shape. You're video convinced me I can do it myself. Besides, the nearest Tohatsu or Suzuki service shop is 20 miles away from me and probably booked solid so do it yourself will be a must. Thanks again for your instruction.

I was considering getting a new motor just for peace of mind but after watching some of your videos I've decided to keep putting along with my motor.

[@DangarMarine]

Thanks mate, glad you've decided to join us. Lots of old motors have plenty of life left in them. At some point they do become more trouble than they are worth, but if they are treated well they can do for decades.

[@uglyduckling81]

I tried to change the grease in my outboard. The tilt function of the tiller arm is getting very hard to move now. I was able to put fresh grease into the nipple for the steering section. I'm unable to pump grease in to the tiller arm tilt or the motor tilt. All those areas have some corrosion. I've purchased a zerk mate tool to try and clean out the old grease.hopefully it gets the job done. Also I put grease into the wheel hubs on the trailer. Old grease came out the front of the first wheel but the second hub the spring tension on the hub maxed and then grease poured out the back seal. Should I just replace the hubs in your opinion?

I totally disagree with you on using grease sparingly on the engine and such. You say because it "attracts dirt". Well there ain't much dirt in the ocean but there is a hella lot of salt...I spray my whole engine with grease and it still looks brand new and it's a 1997 200hp Merc... Go ahead guys and douche that engine with WD-40 or which ever brand you have at hand. Remember...just because you hear it on KZbin, don't make it Godspell!

He made a useful video on making your own pressure tester out of a tire pump with a gauge. I only will use one for my own testing so I chose to get by with a Bell bicycle pump from Academy, for like only 9$ cost. Then used the fitting out of a gear case oil pump that fits my motor. It was easy to put together and a really cheap way out. And it worked! Saved me a seal job, which I was wrongly thinkin needed to be replaced at the time.

Very comprehensive video, you where lucky how easy that lower end came out. When they get stuck you have to pry the engine off the driveshaft, hammering on the skeg to free it will end in damage.

[@DangarMarine]

+alnbaba Yes, it's amazing how big a job can become if something is corroded in place, and you are dead right that if you aren't careful you can end up breaking something and making things even worse. It's always a bad day when the powerhead has to come off just to change an impeller!
