What it takes to service the Motors on a half million dollar fishing boat! HEH Sportfishing

The Rodfather and Service Expert Drew walk you through a routine, 100 hour service on Suzuki 350 Outboards!

[@reelchaoscharters3605]

Great video guys. Love to watch the behind the scenes

[@floridasaltamerica4440]

Great information for Novice mechanic like myself like to hear the "why" and "how" behind this kind of process.

[@lb7wade518]

Great video

[@osu3221]

Good job and sweet ass boat!!!!

[@slange455]

Never seen lower unit with 2 vents was wondering why you didn’t have it lowered and level during the fill process but now it makes sense

[@jimmymiata7855]

It’s not two vents on the lower. One is a right hand rotation and the other is left hand. Makes everything opposite.

[@jasoncooperpcola]

The front prop lock washer is a one time use item also.

[@alexmichaud6171]

Depends

[@thedandy6765]

I have the new Calvin Beal 44 that will be ready in April and will be home with me in Costa Rica.

[@slynn5138]

That is a beautiful boat. I’m kinda 50/50 on owning a pilot house and not being out in the open. On the other hand A/C sure is night when it’s 110 degrees outside. Are you going to run a charter business with it?

[@christopheranthony7644]

Very cool 👍🏻

[@youmertz]

Doesn't wipe the old grease and mineral grime off the splined shaft and reuses cotter pin and locking tabs... With engines that expensive, why not go the extra mile?

[@romewasnotbuiltinaday]

reminds me of when I watch the guys change my car engine oil and they never let "all" the old oil drain out.

[@eafan48]

Need that new v12 Mercury engine

[@chevyon37s]

Take a drink every time they say “Ecstar”

[@genezehring6057]

Or AGAIN

[@Imwright720]

I had a center console for 15 years that got used almost every day. Kept it at the marina so it was super easy, zero trailering. Totally burned out. Seeing this boat actually makes me want to go out for a run. At night. No way those plugs need changing that soon.

[@Bischlarbo69]

What totally burned out? Your drive to go boating?

[@Imwright720]

@@Bischlarbo69 sold the boat. Lots of opportunity to go boating but always said no. Lost the desire. This boat makes me want to go take a trip.

[@Bischlarbo69]

@@Imwright720 that's how hobbies go for me too. Find a new one. Flying planes is cheaper than you think 🤔

[@Imwright720]

@@Bischlarbo69 flew remotes for a while. That was a lot of fun. Gave those all away. I’ve got plenty to keep me busy.

[@saltwaterscratcher]

Great video .. but I’m sure I will never need this information since I can’t afford a boat.

[@alanmiller366]

reused a cotter key, that is a problem

[@alexmichaud6171]

No it isnt

[@nolanohana]

Should the motors be trimmed down fully for service and correct oil level?

[@alexmichaud6171]

Won’t matter

[@nolanohana]

@@alexmichaud6171 why?

[@matt02468]

awesome video. don't get so close to things so the camera has a chance to focus. definitely want a friend that owns a boat and don't want one myself after seeing this. stupid how suzuki specs a semi-synthetic 10w-40 when a full synthetic 10w-40 with the right additive package could probably go 150-200 hours. that oil filter is also tiny.

[@NoName-qs6ei]

Man wipe that old grease off 😆🤣😂

[@captlucky2320]

Need to get Steve from Richie boats crazy ass on the channel

[@tammystrickland4669]

Reusing old cotter pins?

[@chevyon37s]

After bending them over with side cutters! 😂

[@genezehring6057]

Monthly payments on the boat stress his cash flow

[@rafeone9808]

Half mill boat hire someone to take care of it while sitting back drinking a few.

[@slange455]

Lol you would think but If this is a charter boat you need this done on your schedule also I’m sure margins are thin once all bills are paid it’s a high cash flow business lots going out and you hope more comes in at the end of the week.

[@night_fishingtrips]

Rod get Pete a call he lost his phone in the river

[@stuartlang9968]

A boat that big and only two outboard engines?

[@markshark7378]

If you guys are ever selling this boat, let me know !

[@ozzypresident]

Causmic - Much Higher

[@osu3221]

I'd be using 20-50

[@lewisanth4986]

Make sure the engine is designed to accommodate for it 1st ! This ain't an old school engine with bearing tolerances big enough to fit a coin haha

[@Chris-js1yw]

Why is there two probs on each motor

[@ericlamesjerant5841]

contra-rotating props provide more "bite" on the water while still allowing the boat to travel at higher speeds.

[@brettalspach6682]

half a million boat doesn't even change water separators or impellor

[@Matthew-ud3nq]

That big ass boat only has 2 motors? 🤔

[@Mandingo_]

Half million dollar fishing boat. That boat better catch me my own fish.

[@ryankelly1088]

Grease on the thrust washer 🤢 vibrationsssssss

[@balmoreCruz]

How much it cost this service?

[@chevyon37s]

Roughly $110-130 per engine in oils and filters

[@balmoreCruz]

@@chevyon37s thank you for reply back your video was very instructive well done

That boat is missing two more engines if you think it's worth $500,000 Brother.

Have you ever priced one? Lol

[@dski8097]

@@brycenanddad1453 Ya brand new maybe but not this one.

Guess you haven’t priced em used either. Freeman’s don’t lose value. People are paying more than brand new prices just to get them

[@eafan48]

Not to mention they are trash Suzuki engines

[@brycenanddad1453]

Trash? Lol Zukis are pushing 6k,7k,10k hours every day on watermans boats. Ones that work every day. I worked for Suzuki, saw them every day. They are second to Yamaha for sure but Mercury is the real garbage. Y’all clearly don’t know shit and that was the point of my comment.
