Let's see who wins the bet even though they didn't bet in the beginning! Kind of makes it a little more fun at work.

EPA was breathing down our necks in the oilfield (I assume key west is similar) we used extreme solvents like condensate or benzine that would attach and turn any liquid oil into a quickly evaporating mixture and poof, it was gone. Probably took a lot of years off our lives but we always left the site "looking and smelling" clean. I would have drained all the water down pumped 10 gallons of diesel into it, It would bond with the gasoline, then flush it out. Its hard to smell a few ounces of diesel but a few ounces of gasoline will reek for ages.

[@WillFixThat]

Owner says that it still smells like diesel. What a mess. Glad he doesn’t blame us!

[@lesb3481]

What makes a boat "eco", is a good marketing strategy. 😆

[@WillFixThat]

You got that right! 🤩

[@derekmercer3284]

When in worked for an environmental response/ cleanup company we used a product called Micro Blaze. Naturally occurring microbial that consumes hydrocarbons basically. All it needs is hydrocarbon, water, air and it will clean it right up and leaves a fresh smell behind

[@WillFixThat]

Hmm how can I maybe get some?

[@ScottButts]

Matt and Karry Ann try pure orange juice concentrate in the water tank. Put the orange juice in then fill tank with fresh water and soak for day or two. Just a suggestion. Good luck.

[@WillFixThat]

How much OJ do you use?

[@ScottButts]

Just a wild guess. Start with five tubes of orange juice concentrate from a grocery store. It just depends what is less expensive in that day, full gallons of orange juice or the concentrate from frozen foods section.

[@WillFixThat]

@@ScottButtsunderstood thanks 👍

[@johnperreault116]

Had my SeaRay 400SB in dry dock last week. Changed the bow thruster blade from 3 blade to 6 with cupped blades. It’s so quiet you can’t hear it and the performance of the thruster is 70% better. Also adjusted the rudder actuators and autopilot. ready for summer

[@WillFixThat]

Was that after market? I’d like more info on what u did.

[@johnperreault116]

@@WillFixThat I’ll call my mechanic and get the info. It was a Vetus thruster, they ordered the replacement blade from them. Don’t know if it was new design or what.

[@stevenmichael4209]

We called it Slug Bug..not punch bug growing up!!😂😂😂

[@WillFixThat]

We’ve been doing some slugging over here 🤣

[@jimo4581]

Punch Bug!!! Priceless!!!❤ The newer versions don’t count!!! Only original ones!!

[@WillFixThat]

I’ll take any bug cause it gives me permission to beat on Matt 🤣🤣 you’ll see soon!

[@wallacejeffery5786]

I love the tours and looking at cool boats

[@WillFixThat]

Yes tours can be cool to learn cool stuff!

[@TheBeer4me]

WOW I Worked in fuel & Water delivery and the tanks were stainless if we ever put fuel in a tanker it could never be used for water. At least not for drinking. Your videos are amazing!

[@WillFixThat]

Thank you Beer4Me you’re probably right about the water tank!

[@alicat9580]

It’s 37F here today. Don’t complain too much.

[@WillFixThat]

Yikes 😳 you must be far north!

[@alicat9580]

Northern Ontario. First time I was in Florida I hugged a palm tree. Lol

[@BitMe73]

Hi Matt, We were one of your early customers the BelllaDonna at KWYC. You always took good care of us. Regards Bob Harvey. Like your channel !!!!

[@WillFixThat]

Yes thanks for watching Bob! Appreciate your kind words as you know we try! It’s been a bit since you sold her 😊

[@DarylLandry]

I like the house boat,,, very nice…

[@WillFixThat]

Yeah in a up coming video we walk around the brown house boat. 👍

[@DarylLandry]

I have a bucket hat also for the sun

[@WillFixThat]

We have a couple of them 😊

[@billsrq1788]

Hello from Siesta Key Florida Some rain would be nice.

[@WillFixThat]

Agree with you and less wind 🤣

[@edleonard4183]

Name a marina that does a great job of cleaning a steel hull boat on the east coast

[@WillFixThat]

Have no idea sorry!

[@zeekk109]

Your getting wet , just remember it’s only water. Lol

[@WillFixThat]

Yup and most of the time if feels amazing!

[@Brewdiss]

They put fuel in the water tank. 🤘😂

[@WillFixThat]

Yes unfortunately

[@lb7wade518]

Replace the tank and fill and vent lines

[@WillFixThat]

We will see what the owner decides!

[@fatcat-hc4pj]

👍👍

[@WillFixThat]

Hey fatcat! 👍

[@rickykeaton9236]

I would use a gallon of odor ban. And leave it for a couple of days and then flush the tank thoroughly. The plastic tank has absorbed the odor of the fuel. It’s probably in the water pumps the faucets and everywhere😳

[@WillFixThat]

Gas never went past the tank… they realized the mistake so water didn’t reach their faucets & pumps.

[@maddierosemusic]

Yup, the plastic absorbs the fuel. Awful.

[@WillFixThat]

@@maddierosemusicyes your right … we will see when the owner returns 🥴 he can decide what’s next.

[@paulkersey2179]

Have you guys ever noticed that the oil in 4 stroke engines seems to be more runny than when you put it in, even after just 40hrs?

[@WillFixThat]

Matt says maybe test it for fuel.

[@paulkersey2179]

@@WillFixThat That's what I thought. Thanks

[@freedomwanderer91]

Aweosme.

[@WillFixThat]

Thanks 👍

[@michaelmcelwain2053]

I know these people keep you in business , but dang I can barely afford groceries. I have a good job. Own a small center console and a pontoon . Funny how money can’t buy the sense to be able to even keep the basics up.

[@WillFixThat]

People just don’t take care of the boats like they need to. Boats are a lot of work! Of course costs have gone up unfortunately.

[@1decks]

😮

[@WillFixThat]

Yup he won!

[@J.McKnigj1612]

I don't think the "boat is eco" I think they mean eco system tours.

[@WillFixThat]

Like someone already said… is it just for marketing?

[@erbrock1]

It would be hard to trust the water coming out of a tank that had fuel in it. What an unfortunate mistake the owner made.

[@WillFixThat]

Yup mistakes happen it wasn’t actually the owner that made the mistake!

[@johnhart686]

Sweet or un-sweet Tea ?

[@WillFixThat]

Only unsweetened cause he’s already too sweet 🤣

[@FrankDwyer-b4z]

Eco tours, the boats aren't Eco

[@WillFixThat]

You said it!

[@stuckcamping]

Cut the deck open and remove the FW tank.

[@WillFixThat]

Yeah we are trying to avoid that if we can …. The owner will let us know soon if our flushing didn’t work?

[@Turbotalkin]

Eco tours not eco efficient

[@WillFixThat]

Yes that’s the thought …
