Excellent instruction, clear as can be. Well done, Nick.

[@southshoreadventures]

Great work Captain. Thanks for the lesson.

[@t34bravo]

Great video! Exactly the info I was looking for and very well done. Appreciate it!

[@highvelocity123]

It should be noted, this boat has big diesel engines, turning big 20 inch 4 blade props. So it makes the boat very responsive, much more than an average boat.

[@xdeerizx]

Yea, I have twin IPS drives and there are two props per side but they are smaller. My boat would never move that good with only the screws.

[@catherinejoyremigioandrada9890]

It's a caterpillar engine. ? sunseeker ?

[@Boatscouk]

Thanks for all the lovely comments. This is our most popular video ever 😊

[@TheGrangerBoy]

Someone's looking outside a window and is wondering what the hell is this guy doing?

[@pezzonovante888]

That was helpful and informative. Thanks for posting!

[@firdaussirazor8424]

Martin, Ron here! Just seen your comment to Biker Ŵellies about trying out thigh waders soon! Don't worry - I haven't forgotten that I promised to meet you at Mucking Flats, but it will probably be near the end of April, at the earliest! Regards, Ron Leitch.

[@MLMLML000]

Awesome video. Thank you. I like the colors as well.

[@roger9453]

New subscriber - great video. I wish I had the bow thruster on my boat! Great analogy of the washer machine and sink..LMAO

[@gbmac6756]

Well done. Very informative. Thanks

[@bigbadbaby7640]

This looks awesome captain I wish I had a boat! 💕

[@elitemoon2029]

I watched this very good my driver have resigned and left….. cross finger after this video I wont crash the boat 😂😂😂😂😂

[@gonzaloviglino2305]

So you shouldn’t use your thrusters to steer while the boat is moving forward?

[@Boatscouk]

Not really. If you are going under 4 knots then it is ok but they are most effective when stationary 😊

[@nickcooper7133]

Great videos. New sub from me. Can I make a suggestion? If you re-shoot this video maybe get a overhead inset video view from a drone. If they were synced up it would give a great overview. Great videos though, love watching & seeing these machines in action. Mind blowing the amount of tech on-board!

[@jayden018]

Love the boat

[@abyssalreclass]

Excellent tips, although you should do another video on how to do these things with a single shaft boat.

[@Boatscouk]

Good idea. We might do that

[@bodyshopmgr1]

That diesel sounds freakin AWESOME

[@PhilbyFavourites]

Or as we call it “annoyingly loud….”

[@matthewmachin5614]

He’s a good bloke is nick

[@TheIlJeep]

Useful, thanks! But is that normal sound for engine?

[@chpllshw]

diesel engines

[@ahmedzahir712]

Another day at university of KZbin! Shame on parents who say KZbin is useless!

[@Boatscouk]

Thanks Spider-Man !

[@michaelandrich]

Easy when you have a bow thruster

[@edaneo11]

So which is better pod or shaft drive

[@Boatscouk]

It depends on what you want. Better seakeeping ? Go for shaft. Want better economy and sportier handling ? Go pod 😊

[@cliffcharpentier34]

Must be nice to have thrusters.

[@honey102436]

Where can I buy a Fairline jacket nick??

[@OvayBrandao]

Ian Crawford probably from the Fairline jackets shop :)

[@irishinoslo]

'park a boat'? I thought it was dock or berth a boat?

[@bigman55434]

It's the UK. They're a little bit different.

[@annieliz1965]

I am in the UK and we moor, berth or dock. Not sure why he says "park".

[@OvayBrandao]

Taking into consideration the way he explains I guess it's bcoz he wants everyone to understand. Judging by his skills I think he pretty much knows what he's talking about

[@dbc7772011]

What’s a pontoon? Where is the boat? In a slip? At a dock?

[@Boatscouk]

Yes on a slip. In the uk we call slips berths. We have floating pontoon fingers which the boats berth against . 😀

[@OmluTerong]

Ay Ay....Captain

[@machiavellian7490]

Is there a separate video on the same manoeuvres for women?!

[@leonardoqueiroz5097]

The sound is the same as a scania engine.

[@catherinejoyremigioandrada9890]

Leonardo Queiroz I think it's caterpillar :-)

[@plastbestikk]

Volvo penta D9's

[@alangebbie8848]

Good stuff those engines are quite noisy

[@Boatscouk]

Yes the T47 engines are amidships and the sound reverberates off the hardtop 😂

[@MrDavcan]

I want to buy your jacket

[@westar97]

You use jostik...veryyyy verryyy easyyy.

[@davewaldron5990]

Ashame you can't do it without the bowthruster

[@Boatscouk]

Thanks Dave. We are not that good 😂

[@maartenvanneste]

Amateur sound... 😞

[@Boatscouk]

Yes we sorted on next one we think ! Sorry.

[@CraigBeck]

Shame you couldn't do it without using the thrusters

[@PhilbyFavourites]

Why? And what boating experience do you have? And believe me sailing yachts and power boats are two entirely different things….

[@edaneo11]

Damn!! Boat is so noisy

[@Boatscouk]

Turn the music up 👌

[@okumonux]

I would be absoultely stressed out under these conditions! Funny enough that those people arguing "don't use a bow- or stern thruster" usually don't have a bow- or stern thruster". From my point of fiew Volvo revolutionized the industry by offering the IPS system. Makes boating less stressful and therefore more fun. What people tend to forget; those people who can afford a 50ft sports cruiser usually don't work as a pleasure craft captain...

[@sterilesteve5565]

I dont agree with anything u stated 😂

[@christophstandfu119]

This is an amazing video! Great job :)!

[@75gromit]

Nick you should do a series of them, twin & single stern drives, single shaft :)

[@amrsoliman5685]

perfect thanks for posting !

[@sajjadahmad8682]

thank you so much. it is good lesson . if you also show how to drive jet drive it will great for every one thanks.

[@paterson00]

Great little video thanks for making

[@crapalator]

I have a single drive no bow thrust,30 foot Carver.My finger is to port,in reverse with winds to port at 15KPH,how would you get the bow around to port to come along side?With no tied

[@dannig88]

you the man Nick...

[@maticsorn2784]

Can please someone tell me the name of boat thats on te video (not this one on which is the camera...the other one)

[@pezzonovante888]

How does docking work with a triple engine i/o offshore boat (no thrusters)? Shut off the center engine and use the two outside drives or shut off the two outsides and use the singe center drive?

[@SuperMrminecraftdude]

you can just use the bow and sternthruster (if you have both of them) to go straight to the sides without using the engines wich i think is easier

[@MrMrStamper]

Bowthrusters are great. Still, would be awseome if you could do a docking instruction video without thrusters. The "washing machine / sink" analogy is not adequate... If the washing machine is broken you can still wash in your sink easily. Contrary, on a yacht if your thruster is broken (and they do) and you don't know how to dock the yacht without thrusters, it might get a bit expensive...

[@34mrt89]

very good

[@MrDavcan]

Well how much ??? For jacket

[@nikolaibellic6371]

Humm I can't believe I am saying this, but awsome, now I can drive a boat or whatever it's called

[@xdeerizx]

Current, not tide.

[@ian011162]

Targa 47? Well on the Fairline website there is no Targa 47. Is it a older discontinued model? Or is it a Targa 48 downgraded?

[@75gromit]

Its the predecessor to the Targa 48! As he said a 2009 model :-)

[@ian011162]

75gromit Have they stopped production of the Targa 47? On their website there is no Targa 47.

[@75gromit]

Yes, it's replacement is the new Targa 48.

[@ian011162]

Ah. Ok, Thanks!

[@Alex-dq6vo]

i fucking want a boat

[@chrisstone7489]

Buy one

[@Alex-dq6vo]

Chris Stone I'm 16 and im broke

[@bigman55434]

Stay in school, go to college, get a good job, and you won't be broke.

[@gesman5000]

Get a used one.

[@Agent0range67]

2:34 ;)

[@user-sj9ld8fd4t]

circle sea.

[@petermundy3696]

77,300 view's, you could double that by doing twin stern drives next. ???

[@merksecution8395]

Damn that's loud.

[@abyssalreclass]

That's all good, but what if your boat has a single shaft drive? That changes things entirely doesn't it?

[@catherinejoyremigioandrada9890]

AbyssalReClass it's not advisable for expensive fiber glass boat47footer..fishing boat it's OK even it's 80footer😉 sample is the boat here in Bahrain they called "daw" a fishing boat😃only one propeller 😊. .

[@thameswater2561]

sounds like an old washing machine..

[@thebigdoghimself]

The diesel engines or the thrusters?

[@looneyirish007]

thameswater i rode your ma on a washing machine

[@amrsoliman5685]

+thameswater lol :) actually it is the sound of the diesel engine !

[@Elburion]

[@user-vo8em9nr5j]

[@GEREEF]

I was the fear of the ship with the trouble makers, with the decent seamans and the hard working A.B.'s i was pay the double over time Later on as a Captain i was quite (as i was older) Nazi??? i don't think so.Not even now as a pensioner....Men i was just try to correct you No Ofense

[@user-vo8em9nr5j]

[@MemoryLaneCinema]

PARK a boat? You park a car NOT a boat.

[@molevista]

This video has absolutely no value of any kind. Four and a half minutes of waisted time.
