Repowering A Pontoon Boat

[@jordanlittle5391]

did that trim motor work lol

[@YUHJKT]

That Tohatsu motor was hilarious. Who'd a thought?

[@Private5739]

It’s like the ryobi of engines

[@RichieRouge206]

Great video!

[@eddiesandoval3560]

How much is it usually to tune and restore a motor and new controls ? Boat has been sitting for about 5 years but engine was working when parked

[@tomcosta47]

That must be a saltwater boat

[@JD-mv8tl]

What does the 140 psi compression mean on a boat engine?? I don’t know a lot mechanically about boats but since I found your channel I am loving it

[@brunssenboy]

That's the amount of compression the piston builds while cranking over.

[@jayderwin1]

Its good as long as all the cylinders test close to that number within about 10psi

[@riverfallscory]

It means the cylinders build and hold compression.

[@jerrynewberry2823]

Hope you put chafing gear on that steering cable.

[@lesroberts2244]

Should have had a coffee while that truck was working.

[@srperk6163]

Nice shop

[@DemoDerbyGoddess]

How do you know what height at which the motor has to be mounted ?

[@olavmuldbakken1921]

The big «plate» over the propeller should be in line with the bottom of the Boat!

[@DemoDerbyGoddess]

@@olavmuldbakken1921 what about on a pontoon boat .... Just the bottom of the toons ?

[@exploreoutdoors3978]

150 for that motor talk about in the hole

[@stex1985]

Steering cable fail, that is a operator or owner error, from the looks of the trim motor the operator needs a lesson in how to properly maintain a salt water craft.🤔

[@jacklyon424]

Where did you get that steering cable

[@silverpgmgamer4576]

Why did you cut the steering cable if you are going to replace it anyway? When replacing it you'll have to screw it out using the wrench. Anyway, great vid carry on the good work!

[@chriseisele9969]

Hello from OHIO Chris first time caller short time lurker. How about some videos on how to keep up maintenance on you boat motor & trailer btw I've learned a lot thanks keep it up

[@peterdurnien9084]

Steering cable failed due to vibration chaffing,

[@skyhigh6]

I need an air silencer box for an NS40C Nissan 40HP outboard. single carburetor. Any ideas where I can get one?

[@dirtyoldfarmhand3]

Awesome

[@leodanryan966]

Dude! Why does your camera sound like a stun gun?

[@jerryartis7678]

Friend ,why are you there? You where so negative. Chris did not all the work.

[@austinmatthews7582]

That little 50 horse might push that boat up to 10mph put a 150 on it then it would be perfect

[@jerrynewberry2823]

Money Vs. Tastebuds It's limited because of the engine mount and the design of the boat.

[@garynantau9651]

I'd like to watch your videos but your camera work is making things difficult to watch.

[@einsteindrieu]

😎😎😎😎👌👌

[@sbill474]

My problem with buying a used boat they already say that a boat is a hole in the water that you pour money into.I feel like a used boat you’re taking someone else’s problems!

[@fernandofishingflorida7169]

I have a 1998 mercury 75hp 2 stroke and there's a water spout at the top of the head that water comes out. I never noticed it before I restored the boat. What does that hook up to? Shouldn't a hose be hooked up somewhere? Not the pee hole water outlet but under the hood of the engine.

[@crazyamazinghd4714]

Its suppose to wash the motor with out turning it on!

[@crazyamazinghd4714]

Fernando Fishing Florida theres a special hose that hooks to it

[@RandomVideosInFlorida]

Fernando Fishing Florida there is a mount that it hooks to on the side of the engine if it’s not broke away but you can just kink the hose and tie strap the kink so it doesn’t undo itself

[@johnnybarbar7435]

That 50 is mounted way too low on the pontoon.

[@TheMopar97]

Saw the same thing. Like 12” too low…. Unless they literally just want to go 8mph..

[@gregjohnston3421]

Try it with wide open throttle, get better reading!

[@zacharybuendia8738]

Wow thats insane

[@slickricktheruler]

It’s an engine, not a motor for goodness sake! 😬

[@tomcosta47]

And you really didn't show how to remove and install really

[@Snow-Grizzly]

Moving cameras give headache

[@morteparla6926]

50hp on that... good lord. A think a 150 is what it really needs. Even then.... it's still a pontoon. It would top out at what, 20mph with a 150?

[@morteparla6926]

@Chiefkyle I grew up with boats, and I've been "overpowering" them for a while... safety ratings are ratings at which the manufacturer deems it is 100% safe, but they ALWAYS leave room for excess. They'd be out of their minds if the safety rating they advertised, is the true MAXIMUM capacity. That's be a lawsuit waiting too happen. There's always headroom.

[@gradyvago5426]

is this a salt water boat...surely,

[@RandomVideosInFlorida]

grady vago mostly nothing but salt water around us bud

[@jayderwin1]

Probably and has some some leaking electrical current somewhere never seen a power trim pump that bad hopefully they got that fixed before the new motor was put on.

[@OARfan88]

theres a good chance that's the worst wrench ive ever seen....I wouldnt trust him adjusting a bike seat

[@RandomVideosInFlorida]

Best motor you can get

[@chunkwanyeung6844]

Drone Videos In Florida 人

[@EluderRacing]

I have this exact same pontoon boat. my question for you is in your opinion what is the absolute largest motor I can put on it as it sits from the factory? I have a buddy that has a Evinrude e-tec 225hp di outboard that he will give me for next to nothing can I put it onto my pontoon?

[@leamonbuchanan91]

What the us coast guard tag says if it’s gone get ahold of the company that makes it and it’s not a matter of anyone’s opinion it’s either right or wrong

[@triple-c-fishing3289]

Why do pontoons have such small motors like that should have a 150

[@zookster4701]

Most do come with a 150 , but you can put whatever you want on it. Rentals will have 25 -50 hp.

[@dodgeguyz]

Is it just me or is that transom bent down? You can see it at the beginning when he showed the cable from underneath!

[@chiefkyle1098]

Those are deflectors. Transom itself is one solid piece in the center. Then a piece of aluminum runs between the transom and rear platform on either side. It deflects water moving past the sides of the motor, down.

[@aaronritzenthaler]

Where are you in Pinellas

[@2fast4you25]

All that work and i bet you did not put any protection on the new streering cable, so it wont rub with the aluminim an making it fail like the old one. IM I RIGHT ???? 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

[@M70ACARRY]

No daddy! Yer wrong.

[@kingedward3126]

can you get me an aluminum transom like is in this video, i have a 1990 suntracker bass buggy that i want to put one in instead of wood

[@hkm_865]

I️ wouldn’t buy that fucked up little Tohatsu for more than $20

[@ThatBoatGuy]

right lol

[@pcbmale]

lower mount and shift rod, run it

[@rawebonics9914]

Hahah

[@charlesgannon1164]

when you guys gonna learn the difference between a motor and an engine ?

[@greshammessersmith2696]

I thought he said 42 stroke

[@griffind262]

40hp 2 stroke

[@ad-venturer305]

Does the thumbnail look like gta 5 to anyone else?

[@RandomVideosInFlorida]

Jake Bristow nope not at all brother

[@jayderwin1]

Yea it does by the camera movement

[@keithsage1593]

Junk..
