I swear this guy can get a motor running better than your local Yamaha servicer.

Oh wayyyyy better

True Lmao

[@user-ir5jo9fp5l]

I agree with you bro.

[@anunentitledmotivatedmille7731]

Just think about it. They stand to make alot more if they do half ass work and over charge.

[@arubanjames]

Inspiring! I have always been afraid of “non running” boats, motors Etc, last week I got a killer deal on a boat with a garage kept low hour 50hp Yamaha. I cleaned the he fuel tank and filters new fuel lines and she started right up! All because I have been watching your videos!

[@markpreston9562]

I have a similar Yamaha 25hp and they are GREAT motors! What a deal!! I really enjoyed watching you work through the issues one at a time. I would have loved to see you do the rest of the maintenance on it as well like the oil change and what ever else you might have done as part of the tune up process. I want to learn myself as I feel like my local marina is not the most honest place. Keep up the awesome content and easy to follow editing style!

[@swagggggggg1]

You inspired me to take on my own project, bought a 1981 28’ Blackfin for a crazy deal. Needs a fuel tank and a lot of love. It’s coming along nicely and Ive been watching your videos for ideas. Keep it up man!

[@MrTunaVic]

Hey Bro,I’ve owned at least 16 boats/skiffs,what you do is totally amazing,how I wish I were a younger man,I’m 67 now,but watching your videos would had lead me in a totally different direction,love your stuff,thanks “Tuna Vic”

Good job! I knew a guy that gave away a boat that was turned upside down in his boat lift during Hurricane Harvey. It had an E-Tec 150 on it and had been submerged for about a week. I know somebody got it running again just like in your video. Knowledge is power.

[@MrMint51]

Wow! what a deal!!!! It is a real Treat to watch you work on these outboards. You are a Fantastic mechanic, Keep up the Great work and the Great videos.

[@freddynews6478]

Hey boat guy I use a electric golf cart with a hitch on it to move my boats around.. with all the batteries it works great to pull up to 20 ft boats around.

I am 73yrs and I have learned so much from you about boat motors thank you. I only have one question do you sell them to?

[@1300nessie]

Invest in a camera to add to your tool inventory. They are pretty cheap now and can get one that connects to your cell phone. Be able to look in cylinders and other places you cant get into.

[@rolandwaldrop39]

Man I watch your videos every time you drop a new one my fiancé’ thinks I’m crazy because I get all these outboards that’s ppl have neglected and fix them. There’s a something about it is very satisfying. Especially when you pick them up for dirt cheap and spend a couple dollars to have them purring again

[@edffilms2324]

Bro i love your videos. I worked on the impellor, carb, and sparks when i first got my mercury 25 2 stroke. Paid a lot more than you though, paid like $700 for it, still felt like i had a steal. Your videos make these missions look like fun lol just really gotta have patience and always a beer nearby. Making me consider wanting to start doing this myself

[@tomharrell1954]

This is a testament to Yamaha how well those engines are built and The metal they are built from!

Do you even take the time to ground the spark plug wire when doing the compression test? Or is that just a Johnson thing that needs to be done or a 100+ HP thing? Awesome vids man! Love seeing these!

[@bsrktm1]

pull the kill switch so the ignition is off- no spark so no need to ground the plugs.

Great Job mate, I was interested in how you got on because I've just got an Evinrude E-Tec 50 hp 2014 for free, told it has blown up ! I hope some of your luck will rub off on me, thanks for another cool episode :-)

[@Rick_Sanchez_C137_]

“Brand new plugs” Meaning the old guy tried replacing plugs to see if that would fix it, decided after that it was beyond him and passed it along..... It is a great skill to be able to work on your own engines.... it really pays for itself. Good job on the deal and motor, great job on the vid.

[@anunentitledmotivatedmille7731]

Its absolutely laughable the amount of people that tell me I should replace the plugs "maybe" that's the problem they say. Lol it's the trigger or stator buddy il charge 750 in labour.

I’d think if you can fix an outboard engine you could fix the tractor engine. What have you got to lose taking it apart?

[@ThatBoatGuy]

I gave up on it and sold the tractor

[@downdirty8543]

I just bought a 2000 Johnson 40hp VRO outboard, console, controls and cables for $500. It was on a boat and being used when the guy decided he wanted a center console rig. He took it all off and delivered it to me. I had to sync the carbs, install new water pump and rebuilt the tilt. Someone had previously cross threaded the manual hydro release screw. It’s a beauty now. I think I have a lil over $560 in the whole thing and he threw in a new 6 gallon fuel cell, and interstate deep cycle battery that puts my new Walmart battery to shame and an older Evinrude Scout deck mount trolling motor. Yea, I thought I got a deal until I saw your video.

[@OneDollarNoHoller]

Sweet deal on this baby. Glad you got it running. Sounds super smooth!

[@Laujboi207]

@@TT4ME bout tree fiddy.

[@johnnynguyen4907]

Yes he stated he spent 150 and he got it to run again with all the stuff he had at home already. He got the part from his spare parts bin. Best way to think of it is cost of impeller, sparks and oil was his raw cost. So think of it as spent annual maintenance cost is the ++to the 150.00

[@TT4ME]

@@johnnynguyen4907 But how does it run? He never mentioned the price so how do you know it was $150?

[@johnnynguyen4907]

@TT I know it was $150 cause i can read minds using youtube. Also cause he posted the ad and said so. Runs good cause its a clean start warmed and cold start in the water. It pushes the boat though incoming waves on a flat bottom boat. Compression is good and even ware and tear one cylinders. So if everything is in spec it should run to spec. Only other way to know more is to ask him to buy it...

@@gamesofcontent That carb was massively corroded- all that crap that fell out was corroded aluminum dust. A carb kit isn't gonna fix that.

[@bigjay6743]

That was my first thought that thing was definitely at the bottom of the lake. It's an easy fix if you get on the motor right away after you get it out of the water. How tight that cylinder was would make me believe they did nothing at first at least anyways. Take spark plugs out put oil in unplug the wiring harness connections blow them all out with compressed air dry everything out the best you can same with carburetor put back together and start little more to it but that's the basic.
