G'day Bill, & Sierra! Terrific video! Sharing: You want to buy a new outboard for $800? It’s a real steal!” "Apparently, so do petty thieves in the Caribbean, too! Dinghies and dinghy motors (particularly outboard motors) are hot ticket items down island these days, and we knew several cruisers who got theirs stolen right off the back of their boats and heard cautionary tales of many others. In order to make a new outboard less of a target, we were advised by a friend to take the "Yamaha 15 HP stickers" off the motor."

I had a 9.8 mercury stolen about 10 years ago. I still think about it from time to time. Reminds me of how crummy people can be.

[@toddabrahamsson1797]

I was part of a family Marina / boat yard for 34 years. We were a Suzuki dealer, Yanmar, Westerbe, Perkins, Volvo etc dealer. On top of that we were a full service Marina, we installed and service Solar, refrigeration, all types of electrical. You got the picture . . . .

[@flybird141]

It's about time another channel has found an electric start engine for their dingy!!! I have been using for years with just a small motor cycle battery with a 40hp outboard with a bilge pump....way to go!:) You'll never go back. Makes boat life so much easier. It's your car and you don't get out and crank your car to start it:)

[@AdamShaiken]

Utilising your old sails by repurposing them into your income producing merchandise is both admirable and genuine ingenuity ! Peace, prosperity and positive karma to you in your endeavours to thrive and survive.

[@scottmeacham1738]

You can also engrave your boat numbers in an inconspicuous spot. Love the vinyl wrap idea with your logo. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!

[@FrankDBoyce]

Sierra's got such a great attitude and outlook. Love it!

[@bobblack6816]

I had a BAR lock on my new outboard and it was stolen in Palm beach anyhow. The cops were useless! I feel for you😍

[@tomd.3082]

Congrats on the new dingy engine! I like Sierra's positive outlook on the thief or thieves, but "once a thief, always a thief". I agree with Billy. I hope they're using it and while a mile or two offshore, it spits a piston or spins a bearing, leaving the thieves stranded.

Get security bolts/nuts instead of ruining threads... love the vids as usual

[@kenchace8444]

Love the new anchor. I had one of those old collapsible anchors too but they don't hold well at all. I'm also working on my dinghy security so a very timely segment. Best of luck with the new motor. Those Suzukis are great.

[@robertlaird6746]

She is such a keeper. I love her demeaner!

[@kevinhildum9186]

When you said I hope not too much vibration and moved it around it reminded me how much noise that thing made on mine I use some foam copper pipe insulation on the inside to keep it from moving around and rattling it worked well I think it was 1/2 inch

[@nelsonongai9506]

Goodluck with the new motor. When i bolt the motor to the transom ,i always use stainless bolts and teflon treaded nuts. Also i bolt the other way, nuts on the inside just so I can keep an eye on them in case of loosening.And silicone the holes that were drilled water doesn't wreck your transom, Keep up the great work you 3.

[@danh3534]

Big fan of onlineoutboards, bought my 20hp Suzuki there, great people.

[@mikephillips9311]

Those lock bars work really well. I had one on my outboard for 12 years, never got my engine stolen. After a couple of years of cruising use the vinyl started peeling away due to the underlying rust buildup. I had it galvanized when we redid our anchor chain in New Zealand. For the next 10 years it was in perfect shape after that. Cable your dingy when at a dock & hoist your dingy when at anchor & you'll be golden! Leave it floating out behind your boat at night & I promise you'll get it stolen, especially in tropical areas!

[@tedboender]

I wrapped my engine in vinyl wrap. I highly recommend it. You can customize the color and make it unique. Car wrap places can do it in a few minutes.

[@cntryboy1776]

Its good to see that Jetty isn’t mute. He can actually bark! Great video y’all. Safe travels.

[@jacktaylor1030]

They took the money from selling your stolen motor, and used it to mess up their cracked heads even more.

[@waynemcphail7825]

You are good for your insight on break in, Good job! Use SS fasteners. You two have your act together. Best of luck to the two of you.
