Quad Engine 37 Freeman Oil Change

[@YamahaOutboards01]

Maintenance Matters!

[@morteparla6926]

I have a protocol when I change the oil on multi engine outboard boats is as fellows; Remove cowlings from all engines. Start on left engine, drain oil, change filter, refill, replace cowling. Rinse and repeat on next engines. I do it this way, so I never forget too refill an engine. I know that the cowling only goes back on when that engine is _finished._ I won't work on multiple engines at once. I learned that lesson by watching a buddy mess up and fry a $30,000 outboard. Did exactly what you did in this video. Drained them all, then refilled them all in one swoop. I'm not trying too tell you what to do. Hell, I ain't even making a suggestion to you. I'm just telling what works for me, so I can always be confident I'm not about to cook somebody's very expensive piece of machinery.

[@StanzFam]

Definitely a good protocol to follow. Fortunately We haven’t had anything like that happen but I’d be heartbroken if we did.

[@traditionfishingcharters]

Pretty Work Capt!!! Its nice to see a charter capt showing more of the "work" side of the profession. Keep it up and Fish On!!!

[@Russeroo]

Nice to see someone taking a little pride looking after their possessions. Down the line will pay dividends if you ever sell it on again. Goes to show it ain’t all sunshine and swords. When you steam out on your charters it would be interesting to hear some snippets and chronicling along the way of your journey as a charter skipper. How you started out, who inspired you, the learning curve and mistakes along the way. The prospecting for marks and the good and bad times in chartering getting to where you’re at today. Every skipper I’ve ever known always had some tales to tell, fascinating natural events they’ve witnessed over the years at sea and some scary experiences.

[@StanzFam]

Thanks! We are gonna try to keep making videos every week and will definitely include more stuff including the daily routine of a charter captain

[@Sequoiha]

You should trim the engines up first for a couple of minutes to let the oil drain from the block into the oil pan.

[@jasondill5372]

Awesome vid. Nothing better than a Capt. doing the maintenance. 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

[@48statenomad]

I held my breath when you were carrying that bucket of oil out of the boat.

[@spearfish25]

And here I fantasized that charter guys never changed outboard oil and the motors really run forever with zero maintenance. Nuts.

[@Jeff-em7zs]

Livin the dream. Beautiful boat man

[@StanzFam]

Thanks! Appreciate the comment

[@Evan721sxm]

Nice, whenever doing maintenance on your motors you should spray them down with corrosion X...you can get it at most marine stores and it has a good film that stays on and works well. It is great on electrical connectors, it lubricates, and prevents rust and corrosion of clamps and other hardware. I spray my whole motors with it religiously and it has really helped them. I have twin DF225 Suzuki's and they still look, sound and work great.

[@StanzFam]

Cool, good to know! I haven’t seen corrosion X in years but I remember using it a while ago and getting it from the hardware store

[@MFKR696]

The cooling systems on those outboards is certainly uniform in its production. I don't think I've ever seen quad-outboards running at the exact same temperature before. You must be taking good care of those engines.

[@StanzFam]

They are new but running flawless so far! Hope they continue that way

[@jmvmike]

3:15 such a pleasant sound

[@InvestorAcademyPodca]

Although the oil change wasn't fun, I bet filling it with fuel was even less fun. I've learned to hate the fuel dock.

[@CaptChrisCanning]

Love those Yamaha 300s! You should make a video comparing them to the 350s

[@StanzFam]

The 300’s are definitely nice! I will try to make a video comparing the old boat to the new boat (especially motors and fuel burn) . Thanks for watching!

[@MikeinNJ]

Nick your editing and camera angles are improving each vid! Great stuff as usual

[@StanzFam]

Thank you! Appreciate the comment

[@chestermcgillicuddy4368]

Jeremy clearly needs to find a new line of work! Keep kicking ass lad!

[@josephwhite6368]

I feel like on a boat with that many motors they should make a single external oil tank that runs to all the engines to make oil changes alot easier

[@paulmorrow8372]

One of the reason for multiple motors is redundancy. If that tank were to crack or a line were to break you would have all engines inoperable.

[@mehdibouhali1443]

Nice

[@AlfredMontaner]

Robert Arrington from deermeatfordinner just gave you a huge shout out on his channel.

[@StanzFam]

Awesome! I’m gonna watch his new video tonight! Can’t wait to see his latest trip

[@phil9022]

Dont forget to check the level after starting and the filters fill up

[@StanzFam]

Good point!

[@moregreenfl71]

Save yourself lots of money by doing your own oil changes...Great video ... I used corrosion block on my motor great stuff...

[@nickpiazza4403]

I have twin yams, Quads are cool, however double the work! I admire ya dude, and feel sorry for ya at the same time! nice video !

[@StanzFam]

Cool, twins are definitely a little easier for maintenance.

[@ASPWilson]

Double quad is better

[@petenaylor1353]

Nice going Capt Nick.... the banana seems to work well on lube change day 😉

[@captpepin]

I’d look at a slightly stronger pump with a longer hose so you can leave the bucket on the dock. Possibly a small ball valve near the end to stop oil flowing back to make a mess. With 4 engines I’d also have a system to double check everything so you don’t start one up empty. I knew a guy did an install on a pair of inboards after 5 days start one completely empty of oil. Pull the keys put them on the dash and don’t put them in until you check all 4 dipsticks one last time and count 4 filters.

[@robgrundwald]

If you gotta do the gear (lower unit) oil at the same interval, seems like it would be easier to do at the same time during a haul out and let them drain instead of that pump contraption.

[@StanzFam]

If you can plan it right that would be best but it’s not always easy to get an appointment for a quick haul out at the yard to do lower units (and/or main oil), so we just have to do it when we have time. Unfortunately the yard will cancel if they have a bigger job coming in and don’t want you tying up their lift for an hour or two

[@makersmark88]

Could you use an old bulge pump to pump out the oil? We always pull the boat out and drain the oil but as you can imagine it’s messy that way.

[@S14lopez1]

Yes. That's what that pump is. You can by a $50 seaflow pump with bronze gears

[@cats400]

I wanna see you replace 4 impellers at the same time.

[@StanzFam]

Just the basic maintenance like oil and filters for me, I leave the water pumps and other stuff like that for the mechanics.

[@shanillaice5180]

Talk about goals. 😍 You guys should come up to Ocean city Md for the White Marlin Open. White Marlin capital of the world. 🤙 Tight lines nick.

[@StanzFam]

I’d like to fish it one day! Never been up there fishing

[@rylenmartin4161]

Beautiful boat man!!

[@Logan-ns7uj]

how often do you change the oil? like every 100 hours or so? Just curious Thanks god luck fishing

[@StanzFam]

Yes, we shoot for every 100 hours

[@mahimahiaddictioncesargonz5445]

Good job... Video kool What happened with owners Bud & Mary's

[@StanzFam]

Thanks! The family is all still here at Bud n’ Mary’s Marina

[@krave3708]

Make a vid of things u love and hate about the freeman

[@radcliffegayle9261]

You pre fill or prime the filter by pouring oil in it and turn it around until the elements absorbed the oil and then you screw it on, , if the filter is dry when you installed it then the engine runs starved of oil until the elements are saturated

[@StanzFam]

I do what yamaha and their technicians recommend.

[@DMD81773]

The bearings are still lubed as it pumps up. He will be fine

[@wyattbrewer726]

You should have used fresh oil on the oil filter seal. The chances of something actually being in that used oil and messing up the seal are very slim, but I would never take the chance.

[@StanzFam]

Agreed!

[@budman7]

Not doubting your captain skills, surprised you don’t have joystick piloting to make things easier

[@StanzFam]

They wanted too much for it

[@bobl78]

I would unscrew the filters before pumping the oil.. usually the filter and the lines to it do not drain until unscrewed… so you dran that oil to the pan

[@leisurexs2844]

Love that damm boat

[@StanzFam]

Thanks! Me too!

[@leisurexs2844]

StanzFam, I’m here in miami but would love to go for some Red Snapper, decent ones, Do you charter for red snappers ?

[@cutsilver3650]

Why dont you see G2 Evinrudes in Florida

[@SaltyAdventures]

Man i know you catch some big swords but we caught a huge sailfish off of naples

[@naimax0789]

I think in Florida we should use 20W40 instead 10W30!

[@therealdeal6846]

How many hrs do you run the boat before an oil change?..is there a designated amount or do you just do it when you feel you need too?

[@StanzFam]

We shoot for every 100 hours

[@jayklein3476]

Curious as to why you hosed down the INSIDE of the engines? No concern about the water effecting your electrics etc? Now if only I had a spare 500 or 600K.

[@StanzFam]

I would rather knock the salt off then let it sit on there. Little bit of salt always finds its way under the cowling somehow, especially if it’s been rough. I’ve never had an issue with electrical connections from spraying a little fresh water around the motor I try not to soak it by any means.

[@davidd8435]

You feel confident that you get most all of the oil out of the engine using that pump method?

[@StanzFam]

Yep, most of it. A lot of engine dealerships use the pumps as well.

[@randyneil6161]

Nice boat

[@ericdang5686]

Can I have some information of the oil extractor pump (the motor) please? Thanks!

We have to haul out to change the lower unit oil. Getting the bottom painted this week so am going to change the lower unit oil while it’s in the yard

[@johnwood2596]

Great job

[@jackofalltrades8353]

I always tried to change the oil myself on any engine I owned. I’ve watched the people at the quick change places and believe me they don’t give a shit! Half the time I don’t think they replace the filter just clean it off!

[@hjc0706]

I need to know where to buy that electric pump from.

[@StanzFam]

My friend gave it to me as he didn’t use it anymore. I believe it’s a jabsco

[@richkeylor787]

[@kaypthree920]

Uhhhh someone forgot to fill up them oil filters before hand

[@StanzFam]

Yamaha actually recommends you don’t pre fill the oil filters

[@bradenwuesthoff5639]

Kenneth P. You cant prefill if the filter faces down

[@kaypthree920]

StanzFam well i stand corrected

[@victoriousvictor7978]

Pre fill the filer and attach it to the engine horizontally eh...yea that will work great..

[@DaBrute]

outboards don't have drain plugs? how many quarts does one engine take?

[@StanzFam]

They have drain plugs, you just don’t see many charter boats use them as the boats are in the water most of the time

[@radcliffegayle9261]

Enjoy the video but next time you need to prime the filters with oil,

[@StanzFam]

Glad you enjoyed the video. “Yamaha recommends lube the ring, since there is a small volume of oil in the filter, there is no need to pre fill it”

[@Silly363669]

How do you pre fill a filter that hangs slanted /upside down??

[@reelchaoscharters3605]

Can you do a review on the 37.. love the videos Capt..

[@StanzFam]

I will work on one eventually, thanks!

[@omidn2876]

Hey bro. Where can I buy oil pump on bucket?

[@StanzFam]

Just a jabsco pump , can get them online

[@dustin9035]

4 annual services, oil and filter, gearcase oil, zincs, impeller, filters on the boat and 4 engine filters plus labor, 6500.00 if you're lucky. At least your saving money doing it yourself, and your fuel burn is better.

[@StanzFam]

Maintenance is definitely a nice chunk of change. We put some hours on the boat chartering 180-200 days a year. I would say We average a service about every month

[@wantapgt]

Why not just high idle at the dock to warm them up

[@ItzThatOneMatt]

wantapgt where’s the fun in that

[@MK-tj6zo]

Do you flush the engines after running them in saltwater?

[@WhiteGangster400]

@@brianpino7274 At marina i washed boats at they charge $1,200 per engine for a full service on a mercury verado.

[@captpepin]

Boat mechanics are about $125 per hour plus parts you’d probably pay for 2 hours labor, filters are $13 each on Amazon let’s say $50, oil is $36 per gallon need 5 gallons 36X5= $180. So a mechanic would be about $250 labor, $50 in filters $180 in oil = $480 + a can of spray, rubber gloves and tax is $500. He buys oil by the drum and filters by the box so he saves a little there. You can’t make money chartering not saving money on things like this, like he said people wonder why chartering a boat cost so much.
