How to: Easy Outboard Motor Removal

We remove a 175hp Johnson Outboard motor. It weighs 375lbs and we mount it to my DIY outboard motor stand.

What a great video that shows how stuff is done in real life by real people . About to take my engine off my boat tomorrow and this video was exactly what I was looking for

[@Kennnny77]

Great job guys! Love the progress. You're lucky you got 1 of those good father in laws :)

[@mikereese7679]

Great video. Just got twin 150 johnsons that I have to pick up tomorrow. Have to figure out how to put them into my trailer. Gave me some good ideas.

[@thomastirolflorida5363]

Motor stand is brilliant! Loved when the daughter / wife came out to the the porch, just to make sure the boys do not mess up.

[@HouseMadeUS]

Very true! This was a fun build for sure. :)

[@mbreckwoldt9813]

Great looking engine stand!! Nice job!

The best things in life are chocolate chip cookies & loud 2 stroke outboards.

[@coreywhitacre6581]

Thanks for making this, really helped with my project!

[@joshgreenwell4499]

Congrats on this huge step in the process, now get going on that hull!!

[@HouseMadeUS]

Josh Greenwell - Thanks man!! This weekend Daniel and I are gonna hit it hard.

[@ovovov123123]

awsome work here!!! love your boat stand, too. I want to build one up like yours. I wonder what's length did you cut for the bottom piece? TIA

[@jh2521]

I like your motor stand design, I need to pull off my Evinrude 225 this weekend it weights 500lb. Do you have the blueprints to build it and care to share it?

[@briangay5418]

Awesome job!

[@OGRH]

I love this!!! Thank you for your contribution to humanity!!! 💪

[@HouseMadeUS]

[@tdarst3]

Great vid! Link to plans for the motor stand?

[@richieodonnell2712]

nice job man. that mount you build it awesome. where in Florida are you guys?

[@JamesWright1955]

I bought a 1992 23ft. proline, dont think i will need to go the extreme as you but yamaha 200 hp is giving me some trouble so i may , pull it.any way your works are helpfull.

[@CDavid1951]

Awsome job Dad & Son you might want to post this for fathers day

[@millersoutdoors6745]

Nice work I am looking for the video to build a stand like you built I hav a 200hp opti max any help would be great Thanks

[@porkchop659]

Awesome job Capt'! The motor seemed to run great and that is always a good thing. Now, now the dirty work begins...😣

[@HouseMadeUS]

PorkChop659 - Thanks man! Yeah, I have one of my guys coming to help with the dirty work this weekend. Hoping to have the floor pulled up by Sunday. We shall see.

[@porkchop659]

Captain House I have never tried this but I have heard if you put baby powder on first the fiberglass dust is not so bad. It really has never bothered me except when it gets between my fingers and I can feel a little piece - AUGH I can feel it now!!! Drives me crazy! I would like to hear from Andy as to what he does, or by now it is just in his blood so no worries!

[@HouseMadeUS]

PorkChop659 - I actually have heard this. I bought Tyvek suits so we can minimize exposure. Probably gonna do a Breaking Bad style photo later. HAHA!

Pro job right here, looking for a new engine for my boat now

[@jdods8398]

💯% correct on Florida weather!

[@julianalonso6799]

Hey was watching your video I just bought a pro line boat and I was just wondering what is that switch you have for the prime ? Cause I'm thinking my boat has that switch because for some reason I can't keep it from staying on

[@HouseMadeUS]

+Julian Alonso - it's a switch to an external fuel pump actually. It pressurizes the fuel lines and keeps fuel flowing. Good luck. :)

[@newgeneration3496]

Just spent a arm and a leg having my boat repowed to decide I want a jackplate & a trans one saver bracket so I get to undo the professionals work and hopefully not destroy my $10k motor in the process! U got more guts then me, I don’t let the dog into the yard without my boots (phillys not that safe:)

[@TheVirginiaStew]

very nice job..thanks

[@HouseMadeUS]

+TheVirginiaStew - Thanks Man!

[@tomhall3175]

Hi . Great video. Just wondering how you hooked up the motor to start on a stand. The area i have a problem with is the electrical. I have a 150 hp. black max on a stand . Also i have the controls with a key. I don't have any battery cables, and not sure where they go on the engine . One positive goes to the coil ,right ?There is another plug coming from the motor ,not sure about that one lol. Just need to know how i can start it thats really all in need to do . Thank you for any help you can give me ............a friend from Canada.

[@hookednrolling2009]

Tom Hall should have a starter relay with like a 1/2" nut on it that where the hot red wire goes black is ground anywhere on block is good

[@guyh.4553]

Two words: socket wrench! Ha ha ha... Thanks for showing us this. 😊😊😊

[@HouseMadeUS]

+Guy H. - Yeah looking back that would have made more sense. Something I have very little of these days! Lol. 😂

[@kookiethebear]

Nice job on the work cart!

[@HouseMadeUS]

Thank you!

[@JesseePDX]

here i am 8 years later ranomly.. nice setup...i dont need to remove my ouboard but i was wondering if a engine puller would work answered my question...

[@HouseMadeUS]

Awesome. Thank you. 🙏🏼

[@ranfulai1]

Why there's water coming out when the engine start running?

[@1planters]

Cool but what did you attach your chain to on motor?.??

[@HouseMadeUS]

John H - There are mounts that are designed for this purpose on the engine. Easy cheesy 🔥🤙🏻🔥

[@whatsupdocchemdog5994]

Taylor rental? Highlands county, Florida?

[@russg1801]

Amazing how, in a span of about two decades, outboard motors went from simple, light, portable contraptions of 25 to 30 hp, tops, that could be carried by one man, to these 200+ HP monsters that are semi-permanently bolted to a single boat.

[@stevenpardoe435]

The alternative is an inboard -- which is even MORE of a PITA to work on. Power is weight.

[@TheMeleiki]

Nice I'm doing this with my dad in cocoa tomorrow

[@HouseMadeUS]

+Matthew Tafoya - Awesome! Good luck!

[@nickward7079]

Come to think of it you taught me how to make that stand in your boxers 6 months ago lol

[@HouseMadeUS]

+Nick Ward - Hey man, I do my best work in my undies! Lol

[@moosenbeans903]

I got the same spooky aluminum plate on mine. Drilled a hole for a fish finder. Wood wet 🫣🤬

[@MrJking50]

I built your stand and it was great! Thank you! My question is, how did you rig the fuel tank and the rest of the equipment to start the engine?

[@delvisdemendoza4328]

How long did it take? From start to finish

[@HouseMadeUS]

Couple of hours. Not bad.

[@Deecrappie]

Proper safety equipment hilarious Good Times

[@367scotty]

Mercs have a threaded place on the flywheel for a lift ring. So your doesn't ?.. Strange

[@hookednrolling2009]

make motor lift ring for flywheei

[@chugballer]

How is the motor stand holding up and did you ever successfully launch it? Haha Building a stand now. Won't be as nice as yours tho.

[@HouseMadeUS]

Never did launch the boat. I got cancer shortly after making this series. I’m fine now but it threw a whole big wrench in my life.

[@chugballer]

@@HouseMadeUS glad to hear you beat it my son beat it also. I know how it changes your life as a whole. Mine works only holding 50hp honda on it.

[@thomastirolflorida5363]

@@HouseMadeUStruly sorry to hear that

[@concert610]

You forgot to wear your safety baseball cap. My cap has saved my head a few times. 🙂

[@HouseMadeUS]

I did have my safety tank top on though! Haha! 😅

[@concert610]

@@HouseMadeUS true that. I never work without my safety sunglasses, safety crocks. I had to switch to crocks because they lasted longer then the safety flip flops.

[@HouseMadeUS]

What about your steel toed flips?? 😂

[@concert610]

@@HouseMadeUS lol they broke. Moved to steel toed crocks lol

[@Mr.JayOutdoors]

Where did you go to rent that????

[@HouseMadeUS]

Tool rental place.

[@hidel308]

Steel toed CROCS are the way to go’

[@alexcortez489]

what size is your boat?

[@HouseMadeUS]

Its 19ft without the motor.

[@alexcortez489]

Ohh ok I have a 16.5 ft baymaster and could only find a 115 motor, do you think I would have any weight problems cuz of the motor?

[@HouseMadeUS]

Is it a 2-stroke or 4? I would look at the weight and see how that matches up with the weight limit for your boat. 115 is definitely at the top end for a 16.5 boat. That being said, they run fast as hell with that many HP. I have first hand experience with a 17ft Aquasport with a Johnson 115. Nice combo.

[@alexcortez489]

+Captain House oh ok thanks man

[@alexcortez489]

+Captain House it's a 2 stroke

[@moejay7403]

That's a lot of trouble just should have put one strap belt underneath and around with the top on

[@KyriafinisBill]

safety first.....or not?!!!!

[@Carl4948]

❤️💯👏

[@SuperJesusceballos]

All good, very good, except your battery next to gas tank, dangerous, a spark, boom, be careful.

[@MattsShop]

If you have an Evinrude without a lift bracket check out my video on how to remove your motor!

[@GreggAdventure]

Spam, and NO LINK. Lol

[@mtsaz100]

why not just get the eye bolt that goes in the flywheel? You probably spent more on oddball parts and chain---but you got it done. Also, I noticed everything is a "SHE"-- the motor, the stand, the boat, the hoist.

[@RickSaffery]

Your stand is deluxe. Your engine hoisting technique is not quite as fabulous. No worries, y'all got it done without dumping the thing.

[@bettyred12]

please cut the music it is to loud, I have to keep turning my sound up and down, thanks for all your videos !!!

[@tubulartom1]

None

[@dannywilsher4165]

When will people learn how to edit the sound on their video? Background music is about 10 times louder than voices!!!
