New Engine Repower! How To Break in a New Outboard Motor

New Engine Repower! How To Break in a New Outboard Motor
Our 2001 18' Hewe's Bonefisher just got an upgrade with a NEW Mercury 115 Pro XS. Not only did we take her out for a spin to see what she was made of but we also had to bend some rods! Of course, in true Gale Force fashion, this video wouldn't have been complete without some education...in this case, How To Properly Break in a New Mercury!

[@kendixon6437]

It's good to see you girls back fishing and teaching that's what I enjoyed the most and thank you

[@jackbriscoe1504]

Congrats on the repower. I liked the little Flats Class easter egg with the speed runs.

[@kevincrawford7439]

Phantom Black looks great on the boat.

[@Wiz.37083]

Very nice... brings back fond memories...lived on the canal, Hollywood FL...10 years

[@GaleForceTwins]

We are glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

[@brettgunlock3960]

I was a little critical about the last video and I’m really glad this video is back on track and about what y’all are doing and how you’re doing it.

[@rockysouthflorida1707]

Boom! Moving on up like the jeffersons! Yamaha loss is Mercury's gain! Congrats GFT & Kona 2! 😊

[@GaleForceTwins]

Thank you 😊

[@timlindner9231]

New fan here, I love the video, which is not only super fun to watch and is so full of information! If I may add one piece of information as an automotive mechanic, I would recommend doing an oil change when the break-in period is finished.

[@ricks5917]

another great vid! Keep up the great informative adn fun content!! ps thanks for my signed hat, and shirts! proud to be galeforcetwinnin'!

[@GaleForceTwins]

Thanks for watching!!

[@stevegiblin270]

The weather looks great and it is good to see you fishing again! Nice boat and motor . Keep on living the dream! Steven from Boston Ma !😎🇺🇸🍀⚓️☃️Cold up here!☃️🤪

[@caseykelso1]

Thanks for sharing 🍸. We Love your vids.🎉

[@TheRuffusMD]

what a great flats boat .. you guys are set

[@andrewkelly9275]

You’ll enjoy that mercury! As a tech I’ve been impressed with the 75-115hp engines. Smooth and good power. Plus you have the command thrust gear case which really makes for a great outboard.

[@donpaterson2397]

Very cool

[@forrestshadow]

Liking Little Force, yall got her looking pretty good 👍🏻

[@GaleForceTwins]

Thank you 😊

[@BrandonLaue-st9lf]

Great video as always. Just 2 things not touched on, for people who don’t know, when trimming the motor up be careful not to go too high. This will cause cavitation which lowers performance and can harm the engine. 2nd, it is typically recommended to service a new motor at 20hrs to replace the break-in oil. That’s all, love your videos.

[@davidhopson9802]

Very happy for y'all's new motor and congratulations on your fish 🐟❤ I didn't mean to put mother

[@GaleForceTwins]

Thank you!!

[@jimhawking08]

Love that you guys don't "Show off your bits" etc for views. ..so much respect for yall and yalls content creation! Lots of soul from Texas~

[@GaleForceTwins]

Thank you for watching!! We appreciate that 😊

[@herberthill9425]

What If you have a larger boat or motor, do the break-in test parameters change? Really enjoy the topics you cover on your Channel. God bless GFT!!! 🤜🤛👍

[@mikel9567]

Did you not pay attention to the video? They literally said "every motor will be different but this is how most Mercury's are"

[@daveroberts7295]

One comment. You should have had your kill switch on and PFDs when you try out a new rig. Ya, never know what could happen. Friends of mine had a new Zodiac and decided to try it out in a secluded inlet in Alaska. They got thrown out. The good news was the throttle was set to be held down or it would go to idle and the trim tab made the boat circle. They rescued themselves.

[@chiphill4856]

In a zodiac depending in size, occupants sit on the side tubes. This is a little different. Besides, life jacket comments are so, so tired.

[@geegelle3204]

Great job twins!

[@urbancornbread5500]

🥴 meanwhile some of us continue to limp along on Old Faithful. Thanks ladies 😜

[@GaleForceTwins]

Thanks for watching 😊

[@adamknight5089]

What is it that you're wearing around your neck? Is it to shield it from the wind?

[@jp34604]

I was very much hoping you were going to show us the design of the propeller missed opportunity for content

[@scoobyduo2107]

You need to look into a sharp boat propeller

[@alannguyen9687]

Congrats on the motor re-power, ladies. Please consider a life jacket next time. I know y'all are professionals, but It only takes a split second to get knocked off or get unconscious. Have fun but be safe ladies.

[@riverakers]

What is the weight on that Vessel?

[@donaldoakjones2739]

I'm so in need of some salt therapy!

[@christiansanchez2227]

What happened to the Intrepid!?

[@Brinelious]

Did you do a similar break in process on the Invincible? Is there any difference with multiple motors vs single?

[@davidchambers9953]

Emily and Amanda gale. I like two go fishing with you ladies some time won I get back down to Florida for next year in 2024 Emily and Amanda gale.

[@nldmaster]

Was that a manatee y'all blew by off the starboard side of the boat??? 6:32

[@GaleForceTwins]

Nope! It was a crab trap buoy with seaweed stuck to it

[@caseykelso1]

I had to watch twice. 😮

[@michaelwallace7587]

How does someone track hours with no gauges? I run a 65hp jet on a inland river. Most runs are under a 1/2 hour at the most. Also can you do a video on polling on the flats with wind and currents?

[@nldmaster]

@@michaelwallace7587 why are you asking me?

[@tomgausman8674]

@@michaelwallace7587 Michael, I have a 115 Suzuki 2022 and the Tachometer registers the hours on the motor. When you turn on the key the tach needle moves to the hours used then goes to zero and you start your motor. I added an hour meter to my boat, didn't trust just using the tach.

[@westbourbon3538]

Going that Fast without a Lifevest ?…… Get a Mustang Survival next time….

[@Crazyreseller]

Not required by law. Live and let live safety Sally.

[@caseykelso1]

They are captains,they know what they are doing. But thanks for thinking of the girls safety .❤

[@Bridgeman-bg4jl]

Such a Florida thing. No culture of safety on the water or anywhere else.

[@michaelwallace7587]

Not the law but they are examples for so many boaters across the country.

[@westbourbon3538]

Just making sure they are safe….. they are too precious, we want them around 4ever…… coming from an Old Man and a father to 2 daughters too

[@AstronautOtto]

is it cold or just protecting the skin from the sun?

[@jeromesmith8816]

Your post is getting farther apart. I love your channel but you are getting hard to follow. I don't know what is going on with you girls. I hope all is well. I think you are great and you are my favorite producers.
