I love how you collect all the clips from different days, even weeks apart and put it into one video instead of doing what everyone else does and uploading every time they do one thing, often leaving out the conclusion making it highly frustrating to watch. Your videos are complete.

So many reasons to admire Andrew but for me the number 1 reason is his he treats his dogs. They’re not pets, they’re family ❤️❤️

The sound of that 65 Merc was music to my ears. Dad and I had a 69 Model with the first year of electronic ignition, Thunderbolt no less, and enjoyed that motor immensely. It was a good motor. started before you could get your hand off the key in start position and ran like Cody after a rabbit. It sounded just like yours. You brought back a lot of late teen memories of dad and I hanging out on the creeks and rivers having a great time. Dad slipped away from us 8 years ago but your video with that cool boat and 65 Merc brought the memories from over 50 years ago back fresh and new again. Warmed my heart, shed a little tear and smile at the same time. Thanks Andrew you are a truly good man!!

I love how after watching you for a long time, you still break out some equipment, machinery, & toys we never knew you had. You have a dang lot of things with motors to maintain, lol. I love it! You inspired me, I just bought a 1984 Ford F700 single rear axle dump truck. Done a lot of work on it like you had to do on yours when you 1st got it, but runs great now & plan on tailgating stone on a driveway I just built with my tractor on my new property for its 1st project.

This video was fun to watch. I made a similar repair but with one additional step. I laid a piece of wet/dry sandpaper on my workbench, grit up, and then ran the cylinder plate across it to remove imperfections which leveled the surface. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and boating fun.

At least stone the surfaces flat, I keep a set of large stones specifically for surfacing. Don't use a stone previously used for sharpening chisels or something, as the stones surfaces won't be flat.

@robertrios4885 6 жыл бұрын

GREAT VIDEO..... I have two things to comment if it happens again .. use a straight edge to lay across the mating surfaces and check for a warped surface or lay the cover plate on a smooth surface use a feeler gage set to find any irregularities. After the scraping and wire wheel followup with a honeing stone where possible. Just some hints that may help.. Best of luck and keep thoes videos comming!

When torquing a head or something similar, the recommended way is to start at the middle on both sides and moving back and forth toward each end to in effect “iron” any high or low spots flat.

I love all your videos and have been watching for over a year and a half now, some two or three times. I've always admired you for your work ethics. You are always working on something or some job for somebody. I recently saw one where you did some clutch and brake work on a UTV, and now this one where you repair an outboard motor. Now I see you very much find time for "relaxation and recreation" as well. I was thinking you were a workaholic, and there is nothing wrong with that. A videographer as well. I want to thank you for bringing hours, and hours of wholesome, enjoyable entertainment for me to digest. You CAN be very proud. You leave a much larger footprint than your fellow man. Love you and your vid's. Thanx

Love that old school boat, classic. Not only a torque spec, but probably a torque pattern spec would be critical on that cast cover. If that hasn't been adhered to over the years, then it's probably warped. Good job, keep em coming!

Reminds me of the small fishing boat my Grandpa had. His may have been a tad bigger but not by much. He would sometimes pull a skier but mostly he had it to fish. He was a good fisherman as they always had fish in the freezer. I actually have an old set of "Popular Mechanics" books from the 60's that have plans showing how to build a boat like that (and a cabin cruiser, LOL) from scratch.

I am close 80 and I like to see you working on different jobs, and ideas on how modify your equipment.

@shaunmcdaniels2460 4 жыл бұрын

I think its a beautiful boat!!! Very cool you have taken care of it!!! As a mechanic I have to say I would have replaced the pitted (manifold, water jacket?), with out hesitation if the part is available. On any thing of that nature, aluminum particularly, torque specs and torque patterns are very important!!!! Torque specs are usually easy to find. If not look at a similar motor and go with that. I will also always do it in steps. 10 lbs, then another 10 lbs, etc until you reach the final number. Torque paterns are also easy to find usually... If not, think about a car wheel. Each bolt across from one another. If there are bolts in the center then work it in a pattern almost like you are drawing a star shape... Edge, center, the opposite edge..... I didnt mean to lecture anyone. Please dont take it that way.... I hope to see the boat running in another 20 years and your son or daughter taking it from where you left off.... Best of luck and thanks for sharing!!!!!
