Haines Hunter engine replacement part 3 - Transom prep for our 300HP Verado

[@stevepierce3509]

You guys would have saved heaps of money getting a dealer to fit and plumb this engine up hands down.

[@d_onthebitefishing6811]

Great series of building videos .. he definitely knows what he’s doing

[@T4Abyss]

Great vids, thanks! That's quite some work you guys are undertaking, and I love how you are both working so nicely together with no agro 😀

[@autk]

When Brooke hugs the Big Merc!!!

[@williampearson6259]

Damn randomly stumbled on y'all's channel and your doing exactly what I wish I was doing... congratulations so happy for yall

[@bennybfishn]

Put some trim stoppers in the tilt ram. I did that with my optimax to stop it hitting my transom when i podded my boat.

[@andrewlovett9533]

Hi Brooke. Just a point to note, when I was young, I learned from a real old school marine mechanic. When rebuilding hulls, not to use Marine ply as it is designed to keep out chemicals and contaminants like resin. Standard ply will soak in the resin meaning it won’t Rot and making it stronger. I have never been in the position to test this but it certainly is more then just food for thought.

[@johnbernard204]

False.

[@ujangmercury8984]

Great job, 👍 BTW, I think you need to do the calibration on your PCM and your new OBM, u still can use the 200hp rigging harness,key switch,killer switch n the throttle lever

[@игорьлеонтьев-о9к]

Вы молодцы! С таким моторищем сами управились!

[@EndlessWeekendlife]

Enjoying these build videos guys. Very informative too 🤙

[@seangreene64]

I sure hope you guys are planning on putting in two supporting knees for the transom. Given that she was originally inboard/ outboard. I have seen too many failed transom conversions when supports aren’t glasses in.

[@brandonevans4142]

I was thinking the same thing

[@OttoTheWeim]

Seeing how thin that transom is we may end up seeing another “Sunk Verado” rebuild series soon.

[@bobwelch6473]

I totally agree .Some people have no idea what they're getting in to

[@joepsaila2837]

Great one Brookie cheers I’m watching this video from surfers paradise cheers 👍👍👍👍❤️

[@saltyskippa]

Top work 👍 I run the 200 hp and love it

[@jasonsimmons6684]

She's got quite a motor there!

[@Guepard_Marine]

I want to go from inboard to outboard motor, but after your video I have anxiety... It is so much work! :( But video is great! 😎👍

[@HookedOnBrooke]

yes, it's a massive job and I hope that by posting a video like this it helps people decide whether or not they should take on a job like this or let a professional do it. If it's not done properly then it can be even more of a disaster down the track.

[@craig1lengyel]

Well done! Boat should run nice with that motor on it!

[@Grantdaryn]

Subscribed!!!

[@timlittle1286]

I am happy for you all. I just live on the poorer side of life. However I know how to repair pretty much everything I do have.

[@HookedOnBrooke]

I'm in the same boat Tim. We try to repair or refurbish everything first before buying reconditioned or new.

[@bubbleobill267]

Mmmm Verado. I’ve got two on my cat, look after em as they’re stupidly expensive to replace….:)

[@namrednop]

I never wanted to be an Outboard Motor ... until today! Hee hee hee

[@Skif-102]

Хорошо когда руки из правильного места растут.

[@johnaden7473]

Our Verado ate us out of house and home 5k in various repairs after the warranty expired and still broke down for some reason every time we went out

[@HookedOnBrooke]

we've never had issues with any of our mercs.

[@KueInternationalThailand]

Good job

[@randichanel]

Machine big good 👍

[@paulkevinjackson6158]

Why did u not buy a complete harness

[@HookedOnBrooke]

we did in the end.

[@pauljohns1016]

Good video

[@4catsnow]

If a person has 77 grand, they can marry the 600 horse version.

[@its-da-toonz5307]

How much does a boat and engine like that cost ? i want one

[@HookedOnBrooke]

if you have AU$100K that should be enough.

[@scottheston4896]

Haven't seen any video of you forever 😅

[@skytyme7721]

Should have got the 600 horse

[@Imwright720]

A Respirator might save your lungs. That dust definitely causes lung cancer.

[@HookedOnBrooke]

got to die from something

[@ekimandersom4478]

You cannot just hang a 300hp engine on a transom that isn’t designed for that .

[@HookedOnBrooke]

This boat from factory was designed for an outboard motor, a customer asked for an inboard motor so they modified an engine bay for this boat.

[@politicallyincorrectandpro5856]

Not too bad but a Yamaha would be better 🤪

[@ekimandersom4478]

Anything else is better than mercury

[@HookedOnBrooke]

we've been very fortunate to not have any issues with any of our Mercs.

[@ericluscombe3272]

engine replacement funny thats why we always called mercury engines black death cause they never last lol. yamaha way way better

[@hookednrolling2009]

You wasted your money On a Brokery I I mean a Mercury. Should of got a Suzuki 10 times a better motor and 2x longer warranty. Hopefully you got one of the few ,a good one !! I had a brand spanking new Brokery it blew up twice. I wish someone would have told me to stick with Evinrude,I was born Evinrude I had a 9.9 Hp 1979 I use and abuse it,sank it twice running full throttle took home and clean out and continue to abuse. I now have my 2008 Evinrude 300 etec I set the emm to tcw3 setting computer runs a little heavy on oil change plugs every 100 hours. I can scan engine myself. Good luck on your Beautiful new shiny motor JT HOOKED N ROLLING OFFSHORE 🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️‍🩹🐟🐠🎣🛥

[@HookedOnBrooke]

We've never had any issues with any of our Mercs.
