7 Outboards Vs. 1 Mechanic

[@fuyt216]

So about a year ago i got my first boat, started watching your channel. As a car mechanic i figured it be no problem to work on outboards. Yea i was wrong. But because of your channel ive been able to learn. In the last year ive repaired over 30 outboards, and made some cash doing it. So just wanted to say thanks. I spend more time now on outboards than on cars and never been happier.

Sweet!

Glad I’m not that only one that was scared by the water system etc.

[@johnmartin4332]

He is amazing with these motors!

[@teabag1680]

Lol, so true! He makes it look so easy!

[@69cinders]

Nice vids mmmmmm

[@TheMattt]

Never tapped so bloody fast in my life good on ya mate keep up the good work 2nd

[@steverinehart787]

When I hear you say “I haven’t seen anything like this” while cleaning a carburetor we all know it must be bad since you have cleaned many on your podcast. Great job getting them all up and running and looking good.

[@rockerneck]

When I heard him say that I was like nah that’s bs. I know this guy seen it all 😂

[@labtrainer09]

I started watching (and immediately subscribed to) your channel a year ago for your restoration work on center-console boats. But-even though I'm not a mechanic-I really enjoy viewing, listening, and learning from your work on outboards. This session was/is terrific, in every respect. Thanks so much for sharing your experience and expertise with all of us who are addicted to small(ish) boats, Keep up the great work.

[@tilendynaguy4895]

Glad to see you're moving up in the world, it's the small youtube guy's like you that deserve it👍🏼👍🏼 Keep up the good work my friend

[@JohnWilliams-rs1gv]

Great video you have shown me that I can work on outboards, and maybe they will run when I'm done, thanks for again.

[@playingbadgolfwell9732]

The difference between your old stands and the new stands is like night and day. You're going to have to hit them up for more. Great vid!!

[@FDXman65]

I’ve always owned small outboards. It’s fascinating to watch you be able to diagnose anything and fix it

[@donaldyoung5473]

Outstanding TBG! Your videos are informational and therapeutic seeing how you methodically troubleshoot the issues of these outboards and boats, and restore them to life. The Sternmaster products appear to really come in handy...I'm glad they provided the gear. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work...God bless.

[@Smacdoug1]

I like your multi engine repair videos. I dont even look for them. I see them and watch for entertainment. Thanks for uploading

[@tjakeeler]

You are a wizard man, love learning from these kind of vids

[@Thewrightstuff777]

Love the repair videos! Working on our first boat motor now, a77 Johnson 115. You make it look easy...but I know that’s experience!

[@ct1762]

make sure you do the thermostat and poppet valve grommets as per the service manual! not an easy job but easier if you have 3 hands:) starboard side ... if the cylinders get too hot must pull the powerhead and check the water deflectors in the block. if they are old and crusty they wont direct water up top. i tap a new indicator hose on the top starboard side to burp all the air out.

[@perfmechfield3986]

Enjoy them all, moving back to Florida and when I get there I will look you up for my next boat or kicker motor, your videos helped me fix my merc 15, and I can't tell you how much I appreciated it! Be well

[@xdays8806]

Love watching you return these boats and motors back to life! Also, I'm learning so much from your videos...keep them coming!

[@whitecompany18]

Would love to see a detailed tutorial on the 25 Merc gasket job buddy that'd be great 👍

[@nicvandervinne9155]

As would I, been looking for a video and there’s nothing out there.

[@bahamasking2063]

BUSHCRAFT AND FISHING WITH THE PIKEY I would like to see that as well

[@dnbskyzonetalentandcomedy7373]

Me too

[@eshaybrah8323]

I love the restoration videos on boats could you do that?

[@HanSolo__]

@@nicvandervinne9155 Let me think. It's easy. Get a good service book and do it for yourself. Piece of cake you simply have to try.

[@Opaulo888]

I love your videos. I had boat meters all my life, I'm no mechanic. I've learned a lot just watching you diagnosing all these problems with meters making it look so easy. Keep up the great work.

[@RRRIBEYE]

I DO thoroughly enjoy these videos on motor repair! I just bought a 76 Starcraft with a "Series 402" Merc 40 hp motor. It's been raining here solid for 3 days since I bought it, but tomorrow is supposed to be the 1st of many nice days ahead and I have been itching to check everything out! The seller did start the motor when I saw it 1st time - (dry - I didn't like that!) so it will have water this time and hopefully the impeller is good - but if not - just will need to replace. I'm starting with just getting it to run up to temp and go through the gears and after that will determine if I need to do carb work etc. By the way, got the boat/motor/trailer package complete with depth finder, oars, safety equipment, bumpers, lights - everything - for just $700!!! I'm planning to completely refurbish and customize the boat to match my truck and all new graphics too! :-)

[@lesabre1972]

I love learning more and it is a good reminder for me of a late friend and the things we did.Keep up the good work!

[@mjodr]

You get so lucky with these motors. Every slightly questionable motor I have ever bought basically needed machine shop work. Wish I could just pull a carb off or replace a water pump. Geesh!

[@ainokea1893]

I have the same luck must be a trained eye to pick the good ones

[@DoodMang7]

RIGHT?!? me too man lol

[@Iotyify]

I'm just an outboard motor now and your videos helps me alot ..... thanks bro

[@Grasshoppa65]

Why hasn't this guy got his own workshop. He really deserves one. Love his videos, and I don't even have a boat.

[@paulchogolmad6808]

You are incredible! We live in a throw-away society today. Good to see that there are people like you who still exist in this day and age. I enjoy watching your videos. Thank you for sharing them.

[@adamdennis2936]

He explanations are so easy to follow. Not many people can teach well like this

[@00nutt]

Dang wish I lived in an area that I could come across the yammies like you!!! I just got my dad's 1976 9.9 Evinrude running like a top. Hadn't ran in 20+ years. Your channel gave me the motivation to get it going!!! Thanks!!!!

[@NESig]

You're a pretty fair mechanic! I learn some good stuff from your videos. And I find them interesting in any event.

[@sirjustis]

I wish you would post more often! I truly enjoy your work, and its well worth the time it takes to witness it :)

[@Dovey14]

You Da bess youtube channel, I would start to buy, fix and sell motors just from watching your channel. But I like staying home and do nothing for a living. Great job on the videos! man.

[@Nelswan]

Hey man I honestly would love to see more of these videos, I’m sure I’m speaking for many people👍🏽they’re gold your the man🙏🏽

[@prewettcr]

Awesome video! New to outboards - got a 2006 Mercury 15hp which runs fine thankfully but looking forward to learning how to maintain and your video is perfect for actually seeing various issues for first time - many thanks!

[@sccarguy8242]

Awesome you got a sponsor!! I tell you what I have been looking for project motors (Boat, Generator, etc) in my area and I can’t find any! It’s amazing you even stumble on so many good deals !

Great video man I always set my idles just a touch high to allow for in gear idling torque and on a triple I make my centre carb a touch richer just to help cooler morning start ups

Good for you due to the work you've put into this channel this along with show and tell ...several years ago Kevin Costner stared in a movie named" A Field of Dreams" over all the tag line was built it and they will come...that is what your doing with your channel right...Good luck and keep building 'ThatBoatGuy'

[@clintfulbright1596]

Love your videos on motors, thank you.

[@FSHSKainon]

suggest that you get a 50g bucket for tank testing, using a hose to provide water can hide cooling issues (as you found with your recycling bucket) and it's supposedly better for setting in gear idle... great work, good luck!!! I miss fixin outboards

[@freedomfishingOH]

Your videos are awesome man really cool seeing you get these broke down motors running again

[@littlemiamijeff]

Glad to see you back!

[@johnathonuncapher7523]

Id love to know how youre finding these outboards. Word of mouth, consignment, auctions, craigslist? Trying my hand at flipping a few outboards now and put up a craigslist ad but its been slow, ive picked up only a 94 merc 15 2 stroke so far. Id love some advice!

[@JoeBrrFan]

Hey I have a question for you. You helped my brother once. Thought I would try it. So I have a 1990 Pro Craft with a 1990 60hp Mariner with Autoblend. I have an alarm going off in my shifter box. I have checked the Auto blend it seems to pushing oil through it. But at the same time, to check the Autoblend ,it says to turn it over and if the alarm sounds it's working, I tried that. No alarm. So it seems like it's working but gives an alarm when set upright, no alarm when testing. Yet oil seems to be getting to the motor. Is it possible that it might even be a choke alarm, because it happens when I need to use the choke for cold starts, but once it starts it won't stop. And other times it won't sound at all. Thanks for your time.

[@grahammoore6386]

Your videos are amazing man. Thank you

[@lizzard7473]

[@waynep343]

when drilling out mixture screw seal plugs.. please use a piece of copper tubing that prevents the drill from going in and damaging or bottoming out the mixture screw. . just curious.. when you find a torn up water pump impeller. do you search for the broken off pieces and count them to make sure they are NOT blocking the cooling passages ..

[@jimv7067]

Great video! Very informative. Any idea what would cause a sudden loss of compression on #3 cyl on a '72 Mercury 800 4 cyl? The piston is moving back and forth and the plug looks ok. That's as far as I got on diag so far. Thanks

Hi, wonder if you could help me. I have a year 2000 mercury 150 hp 2 stroke. Trim wasn’t working and found a rusted hole in the back of the boat. OEM part was $400 and after market at Amazon was $80 for trim motor. Do you think it’s okay to use after market for trim motor. Some times mercury parts r way over priced. Thanks
