Honda Honwave T40 - Milford Haven June 2019

2nd run out in my Honda Honwave T40. First use of the new launching wheels I have installed. worked really well as you can see from the start of the video.
forgot to pull the wheels up for the first 10 minutes of running.
More boating videos to follow.

Lovley spot down there, I particularly enjoy the run up to the Cresselly Arms on a high tide.

Hello. Good setup and video. What transom wheels are fitted to the T40. Also are you pleased with them. Enjoyed watching. Atb Steve 👍

[@gaatjenietaanprivacy5023]

Nice video! Where did you get that vertical hanging jerrycan?

[@timothybarrow2379]

Great boat, do you need a battery to be connected too the motor?

[@denzilthedestroyer5243]

You can connect a battery for electric start but I use the pull start

I am planning to get Honda 20HP for my inflatable boat - Are You happy with it? Would you buy it again or go for something else instead?

[@denzilthedestroyer5243]

It’s a great engine. I gave it a full service when I had it and it’s has run very well. It is quite heavy lifting on and off the boat but manageable. If I had to replace it I would buy the same again.

[@henrikmichelsson1729]

I’m 100% Honda fan. I have a Honwave with. 15hp electric start Honda with hydraulic assisted trim and tilt. It works perfectly in shallow water

[@daiquiri.]

nice boat! Is it not too heavy to pull it back up the ramp for one person? I'm thinking of replacing my air floor 360 Zodiac with a T40 with alu floors but it's a lot heavier than an airfloor so I'm wondering how difficult it is to pull it up on steep ramps without a trailer?

[@denzilthedestroyer5243]

It is heavy and any incline would be a struggle. I dont tend to move it far. The only reason I move it on the wheels is so the trailer doesn’t go in the salt water.

[@daiquiri.]

@@denzilthedestroyer5243 thank you!

[@herbertabraham2174]

..as a new honwave owner...Nice video...did I miss the part where you put the wheels up!....and what's that on the transom?...cheers!

[@denzilthedestroyer5243]

Well spotted, on this day I forgot to take up the wheels. I noticed when I started moving and they created drag. Is it the small fuel tank you are on about on the transom?

[@herbertabraham2174]

[@toffee1889]

Do u tow with outboard on. I thought it would put too much pressure on the transom.

[@denzilthedestroyer5243]

I’ve googled it a few times and can’t find many topics on towing with the engine on. I tow about 5 miles with the engine on and strapped down with bungees to stop the leg bouncing. It seems pretty stable when I’m towing to be honest. To be honest I’m not sure if it is recommended.

@@denzilthedestroyer5243 thanks for replying. Very informative, looks like a bad idea . 20 hp very awkward and heavy to be attaching and detaching all the time though :(

[@SNEVIC]

Hi there, are you happy with the launching wheels? Could you please make a small video about them, how they work...? Thanks

[@denzilthedestroyer5243]

Wheels are very good. Had them from EBay for about £80. They fold away lovely and don’t touch the engine when running. I left them down once and forgot about them when I’m the water. Was wondering why I was going slower. I’ll try and get a video made for you.

[@coffeedollsvp]

Will the bouncing of the attached outboard while trailering damage the transom?

[@henrikmichelsson1729]

With Honwave it’s recommended to remove the engine while trailering. The transom is made out of strong material, it’s not good though for the inflatable boat

[@coffeedollsvp]

@@henrikmichelsson1729 but in your case...how has it held up trailering with motor on?

[@henrikmichelsson1729]

@@coffeedollsvp I always remove the engine if the boat has to be moved on land. Instruction manual recommends trailing the boat without engine.

[@joshcarra2152]

hi what licences do you need to take it out at sea? also could you use this on river's and canels? i'm all new to this sorry

[@denzilthedestroyer5243]

Hi you do not need any licenses to take this on the sea but it is always good to go on a course and learn a few bits about safety at sea. Yes this is also fine for lakes and rivers

[@joshcarra2152]

@@denzilthedestroyer5243 Fantastic so you can set of from anywhere really? Also are there any restrictions on engine size for river's and lake?Also for a back up engine is there a decent electric engine i could get that doesn't cost to much but should get me back if i was at sea and had a failure for instance. Thanks

[@denzilthedestroyer5243]

This site has courses for the uk. www.rya.org.uk/wheresmynearest/Pages/whichcourse.aspx#filter/o-25-5 it’s very important to have all the safety equipment before you take to the water. A VHF radio is also a great option.

[@joshcarra2152]

@@denzilthedestroyer5243 ok thanks for the advice i think i'm just going to stick travelling the river's until i take a course for sea. May i ask do you assemble you boat each time or do you store it on a trailor? for rivers you do need insurance and mot and a licence am i correct?

[@denzilthedestroyer5243]

@@joshcarra2152 Its always worth having insurance if you are using a boat just incase you bump into another user. there is no such thing as an MOT for a boat so as long as you are allowed to use the waterway you can use it. My boat is always inflated and left on the trailer.

[@matthewbengston10]

How do you find it mate? I want one for sea fishing thsnks

[@denzilthedestroyer5243]

I love it. Easy to handle and smooth when on the water. It will do 20 knots on a calm day. For me it’s perfect

[@matthewbengston10]

Denzil The Destroyer would you recommend this size of the smaller one think it’s the t38 for solo thanks

[@mikeotton6757]

This video was great , the first I have seen on here of someone launching a T40 on transom wheels , and it looked like it went great, can you tell me how you get it out of the water ? It can’t be as easy up as it is down ?

[@denzilthedestroyer5243]

Mike Otton thanks for watching. I drop the wheels down just before I land on the slipway. Then pull the boat out a few meters. Mainly to save dunking the trailer in the water. Once I get the front up onto the trailer I winch it up. It’s a bit difficult on my own but would be fine if I dropped the wheels of the trailer in the water.

[@mikeotton6757]

Denzil The Destroyer thanks for the info , I’m buying a T40 soon, anything I should look out for ?

[@denzilthedestroyer5243]

Mike Otton I’m Very pleased with the boat. Just make sure the tubes are in a good condition and they hold the air. It’s a great boat. Mine is the aluminium floor and it’s is pretty sturdy. I haven’t had any experience with the air floor.
