OUT OF FUEL | A Tinny adventure

[@seanwoodward5882]

Love this show, love the gratitude and respect you guys have for the top end. Most genuine fishing camping blokes on youtube.

[@WildReaches]

Thanks Sean. That means a lot to hear mate

[@brianostwald802]

No bullshit no rubbish just good blokes having a crack , love it boys

[@WildReaches]

Thanks Brian.

Sometimes a little mistake is good for all of us it makes us more cautious so we don’t make big mistakes. Great show once again 👍

[@WildReaches]

Couldn’t agree more. It then slows you down again to think things through more.

Hello Nathan and dan definitely a lesson to be learnt really need to judge the amount of fuel you need to take thanks for sharing stay safe cheers bless to everyone from far north Queensland tablelands 😊

[@rjochheim]

Nice.. Thanks for sharing guys.. Love your work

[@WildReaches]

Thankyou 🙏🏼

[@mickthefisherman1562]

Great vid guys, it's not hard to get caught out don't worry too much, it can happen to anyone that gets out on a few camping trips . You only have to change one variable like the weight of the boat, tide or wind as you pointed out, but I think by filming it and explaining where you miscalculated will be a great education for any aspiring young adventurers. Also I like seeing the products you use and recommend because not everyone has the time to test everything. At least it's not popping up on the screen every five minutes, cheers.

[@WildReaches]

Thats what Im hoping for Mick, someone will learn from our mistakes. Glad youre enjoying it mate, thanks for letting us know

[@craigmitchell4064]

Good one Nath , just shows no matter how much prep you put in there can always be one thing that can wreck a trip, keeps life interesting 👍

[@WildReaches]

Yeah mate, all these things kept it interesting all right. Cant wait for this next season to chase some barra again!

[@Fitzy6722]

Running out of fuel would have been pretty scarey mate. So far from anywhere. Glad to see it worked out👍🏽👍🏽

Enjoyed this one as I do all your adventures. It’s obvious you research every bit of gear so I really enjoy your tips on gear. I will be looking for a 5m boat soon so will look up Bonito boats for sure. You guys are an inspiration. Thank you for sharing. 👍

Hey Trevor. Good to hear that mate. Yeah the Bonito is real nice. We're building a Stessco Albacore soon which are also an amazing boat and I have alot of Trust in Stessco. Stoked youre liking the show mate

Yep doing the same here in Nambour looks like a lazy wkend of doing some work on the boat an chilling with the fam 👍

That Bonito hull goes way back to the 70's and is actually from NZ ... I think the moulds were bought to OZ in the 90's.

really? I havent heard the full story, I thought it was always two blokes from brisbane.

[@roypowell3450]

Loved this one Nate , boy the old fuel was a close one! That quad has it got a censor which is detecting moister? Drain the system dry and have another go! Anyway Stormy had a good run glad you guys are safe, take care. A dull and wet UK today (:

[@mandynewman4890]

Hi guys love watching your videos, great content. I see you now own a 60 Yamaha, awesome little motor but they do have a couple of issues, one that may be of interest to you seem you do a lot of remote trips is they have a bad habit of sucking little pebbles up through there water intake in the leg, these pebbles work there way up through the water cooling pipes that go to the fuel cooler on the right hand side of the motor in behind the intake manifold. you will know when this happens because the engine idle sound changes and you start to hear like a quite whistling sound coming from the motor and it will just stop while your idling along, this is because the fuel cooler is not getting water and the fuel starts vaporising. You will need to follow the small grey water feed lines to the cooler remove them and blow them out and or use a piece of wire to remove pebbles that have gone into the cooler itself, i hope this helps and may get you out of trouble one day. Regards Gav.

[@WildReaches]

Thanks Gav, thats great info to have up our sleeve mate. Great to hear you're enjoying the show too

[@georgeandkatherinedrager3705]

[@auozjan]

Oh dear, hate seeing you so stressed, glad you got back, remember feeling that in our 4.6 tinny.. anchor wouldn’t release, 2M swell at night, we cut the anchor.. That fear in the pit of your belly, like you’ve push it just a bit to far…. Stay safe, love your content…

[@WildReaches]

Yeah thats the feeling, horrible isnt it. My biggest fear was for Dane in the water. By the stage he realised I wasnt with him in the boat he was 200m away. If there was a croc or something I couldnt have helped

@@WildReaches love it guys. Patreon?

[@WildReaches]

Yeah we’re just getting started on there mate. Not sure what we can offer but we’re open to suggestions

[@AlohaMilton]

In crappy weather slower is usually better. Running too fast in swell is super bad. You dont want to run out of gas but you really REALLY dont want to nose dive of the top of a swell into a step swell or hole in crossing swells, take on water, maybe have the boat capsize. Used to drive boats for urchin divers and a few boats from the harbor were lost from trying to run away from weather in the weather (all crew rescued but one after 3 days on the capsized hull), once its on you you have to be more patient and drive according to the sea state. sometimes pretty slow if its crossing swells and big holes forming you have to dodge, or bow into a hole, boat stops, swell catches up to you and turns the stern right over. that's how one friend spent 3 days capsized and adrift.

[@WildReaches]

Shit, that sounds terrible. Its all time on the water learning isnt it, Getting to know your boat and the way the ocean can behave in different conditions

[@davedunnunda]

You should be able to get Yamaha outboard data, including fuel consumption , into your Raymarine MFD via an NMEA2000 connection (depending on how old your motor is).

[@WildReaches]

Yeah that will be so handy, getting that sorted for the next trip

[@JL_86]

Love your work, absolutely love it!!! I have noticed a few times you running the big 79 for charging, do you ever carry a generator? I'm in Vic, mostly high country touring heaps of shade, gets steep and cold here, doesn't matter how much solar I have sometimes in summer there's just too much shade. I carry a 800w generator which easily runs 3x 20amp chargers across 3 vehicles for 4 hours on a tank and weighs 9kg It's saved plenty of fridges full of prime meat... Food for though 🤙

BTW they're $300 lol

Yep I’ll try find an easy way to do that. Thanks mate, glad you’re enjoying it all!

[@waynevincent373]

I noticed that you don't have a sting ray fin on the outboard leg. Do yourself a favor and put one on. You'll get out quicker and plane at a lower speed. And trim out which will get better full economy and ride. There are a few different brands but they all work good luck, Wayne the Welder

[@WildReaches]

That sounds good mate, I've just replaced the outboard so Ill chat with Yamaha about the best option. Thanks for reaching out Wayne

[@Letscampfishn4x4]

What brand of drone do you guys use

[@WildReaches]

DJI Mavic Pro👍🏼

[@chalkss]

What's max HP you can have on the boat? My boat is similar size and I have a 140. I feel the 60 is well underpowered, would have been struggling. Good too see you guys got home safe.

[@WildReaches]

Yeah way underpowered with gear on board. 2 people no gear feels good tho. 115 max. Thinking bout bolting a 90 onto her.

[@tomsullivan5874]

@@WildReaches I have a Quintrex 440 Hornet Trophy and it had a 40hp on it at the dealer. As part of the deal when I bought it, I told them to put on the biggest motor that it could take, which was the Yamaha 60hp (almost identical to yours), it even feels under gunned for my boat (hard to get up on the plane sometimes 😞), so the 60hp is way to small for your girl. I recommend going the Max your boat can handle, never less than that, especially seeing the trips you fellas do. Always good to have the extra there just in case you need it mate 👌🏽👍🏽.

@@tomsullivan5874 Yeah I agree with that Tom! My first boat was a 440 Hornet Trophy, epic little boat. It had a 50 Yammy on it and went ok but I reckon the 60 wouldve been perfect!

Hi Guys, great vids your boat is way under powered , if went up in size on outboards you will get better fuel eco and far better handling. I would say a 90hp would be ideal for that unit.

Yeah agreed David. Looking at a 90 for this next season 👌🏼

Does running that low on fuel do any physical damage to the engine at all?
