Just bought a G3 tiller jon boat. New to boating, learning everything I can. Thanks, for the video!

[@Skinnyriver]

G3s are awesome! Let me know how you like it.

[@vroncooper5734]

​@Skinnyriver Will do. Thank you, going to spend the winter watching your videos, practicing towing and maneuvering and get out this spring for the sandbass run in March.

[@Gnarz1234]

really enjoyed this video and your other simple ones. I am a first time boat buyer looking to get a jon boat in the next couple weeks so I appreciate these videos.

[@Skinnyriver]

Thanks!! Let me know what you end up getting. Thanks again!

Thanks for the video. Inherited a 1436 Jon boat , I’m new to the tiller motor. I’ve learned quickly until I master it I need to stay in smaller bodies of water with no currents. I find it difficult to manually adjust a 15.hp motor. Great videos, keep them coming.

[@Skinnyriver]

Thanks for the view! Good luck! Hope you are enjoying your setup

[@sandogtjsandog4366]

Nice work you did on the inside of your Crawdad !

[@Skinnyriver]

Thanks! Yeah it was just a shell when I got it. My friend was going to throw it away!!

[@jimjones1630]

Getting my first boat on the water this year. Love your videos! Short and informative and to the point. Thanks brother!

[@Skinnyriver]

Awesome, thanks for the views. Let me know how it goes!!!

[@jonathanblakeney1671]

[@Skinnyriver]

Thank you for the kind words! I hope to get back out there this season!

[@TheOldCowboy1952]

Always great information, I can use. Thanks!!!😊

[@Skinnyriver]

Thanks for the view! Simple stuff in this video but hopefully someone gets something from it. Thanks again!!!

[@RajaSekhar-xl5gw]

Very informative, thanks for the video

[@WoodboogerFishing]

Keeping it simple👍 I’ll keep picking up trash too🙂

[@Skinnyriver]

Yeah super simple, maybe a true beginner or someone looking to get a tiller can get something from the vid. I know you are experienced so I appreciate the view!!

[@zander.7k]

How do you turn the motor off

[@Skinnyriver]

Press the red button

[@abnergarcia6252]

Great video! How many HP is the motor?

[@Skinnyriver]

Thanks for the view! It’s a Mercury 6hp 4stroke

[@brandonlee1396]

I’m running a 6hp evinrude fisherman with a bigger tank on my crawdad with a new 3 blade and only hitting 14 mph. Do you think going to a smaller tank and adding a jack plate will help?

[@Skinnyriver]

Do you know what pitch prop you are using? If it’s a 7 I would try an 8 first before investing in anything else I think the smaller tank would a little bit. I would experiment with the trim positions and where you have your battery. If your anti cavitation plate is parallel with the bottom of the hull you shouldn’t need a Jack plate

[@brandonlee1396]

Yes sir I’m running a 8 inch pitch prop I have tried all my trim positions and 14 was all it had. The cavitation plate sits lower than the hull of my boat by at least 3 to 4 inches I have a jack plate already I just figured I would get a second opinion thank you for the reply.

[@Skinnyriver]

@brandonlee1396 yeah if you are 3-4 inches low that Jack plate may help. If you are planing out good then I would look at weight reduction and the Jack plate.

[@brandonlee1396]

Thank you your the man keep coming with the killer content

[@Betterdaysfishing]

Neat!

[@Skinnyriver]

Ground breaking stuff!!! 😂 thanks for the support!
