Bobber T says Yamaha's are way overpriced a 300 Suzuki is over $12,000 cheaper than a 300 Yamaha
0:06
And it's not a better motor matter of fact the Suzuki has a better warranty
0:10
I don't know if it really has a better warranty I mean you can get yes warranty on the Yamaha, so I think they both have like a five-year warranty
0:17
So I don't know if I could say that it has a better warranty and being overpriced honestly
0:22
I don't think they are I mean if you look okay granted Suzuki's are
0:28
$12,000 cheaper I mean Whenever you say Suzuki a lot of people think of cheap because they have been ten
0:35
$15,000 cheaper than everybody else on the market, but that's not really To say that Yamaha's are overpriced or that any other brand is overpriced
0:43
I mean Yamaha's pretty neck-and-neck with everybody else Honda Mercury both of them
0:48
They're pretty neck-and-neck on the prices until you get into the more expensive stuff and even then
0:54
Mercury is probably the most expensive, but to say that they're overpriced. I don't know if I would say that they are
1:00
I mean, that's more of a question about the economy and finances and everything else
1:05
I mean over in the US. We're looking at a nine ten percent inflation rate right now, so I
1:10
Don't know if I would say they're overpriced. They are a phenomenal product in my opinion
1:15
I mean in most people's opinion if you say Yamaha outboard most people are gonna give you one word and it's gonna be reliable
1:22
They're super reliable and they last a really really long time so you're paying for that, you know
1:28
I don't know if I'd call them overpriced. I mean, I guess you could I mean
1:33
New outboards are rich man's game. Anyway, we were talking about that a week or two ago and
1:39
So, I don't know if I could say that they're overpriced. I think they're priced about the same as everybody else
1:45
Yeah, buying an outboard is expensive, especially if you got a re-rig and all the other stuff
1:50
But we talked about that in another episode see Metzenberg, can you show the differences between a clock a counter a clockwise and a counterclockwise lower unit
2:02
we just disassembled a lower unit not too long ago in another video and Basically went through the entire guts of the lower unit how it works and all that stuff. You want to check that video out
2:12
It's a phenomenal video. You're really gonna enjoy it But as far as the the left hand and the right hand the clockwise and the counterclockwise
2:21
Most of the most of the time those all have a shift crank in them
2:25
so in the front of the lower unit there is going to be a
2:29
Like a lobe in that video we had it was a smaller lower unit that has like a push pin
2:34
That moves the clutch dog back and forth So as you move the shift shaft up and down it pushes this in and out like that
2:40
And so that's what shifts it back and forth. Whereas in a lot of the bigger outboards are like, you know
2:47
You get to 40 50 60 basically anything over a 40 is going to have a shift crank for most of the time
2:54
There are other outboards that still use that push up and down But generally once you hit 40 horsepower and above they don't they will use a shift crank
3:02
It's gonna be the same clutch dog system in the lower unit where you got your prop shaft in the clutch dog and it's gonna
3:06
Go back and forth on a rod like this But what moves that rod is going to be an actual like lobe so you'll have this like indention or you'll just have the
3:18
The rod coming out of the prop shaft and then a crank that goes around it like this
3:22
So as you go back and forth it turns like this to pull it and push it in and out
3:28
all they do for a counter is pretty much take the From this side and move it over to this side and that's just how they change it
3:35
So that way when you shift forward and reverse it is shifting differently
3:40
there are differences like Suzuki does have a different system to where it's the same lower unit and the shifting is just changed with a
3:49
It's like a plug on the engine you can just flip it and it will
3:53
Basically use the same lower unit as a counter or a standard in other ones that don't have that design
4:00
there are differences between them because the Roller bearing on the forward gear needs to be beefier and also the forward gear needs to be a little bit beefier than the reverse
4:11
Gear needs to be so depending on the outboard and depending on the model in the lower unit
4:16
It's going to be a different type of gear set and a different type of bearing because when you're in forward going
4:23
6,000 rpm it's gonna be a lot more stress on that and then also
4:28
Going forward the prop is spinning and it's pushing itself forward Or is it in reverse the prop is spinning backwards and it's pulling think about those gears inside of there and that clutch dog
4:39
Whenever the propeller is pushing this way it's pushing this way, you know
4:44
So all that pressure is riding on that gear opposed to in reverse a you're not going 6,000 rpm and B
4:51
It's pulling back. So it's pulling back on on the gear So there's a lot less force on the bearing and on the gear when you're in reverse
5:01
compared to when you are where you are in forward and so the
5:05
Gears and the bearings are a little bit different and you know, there is a heavier beefier type of gear
5:11
Nowadays a lot of them. They are very similar though. Most of the time they are different
5:18
Can you take a counter and turn it into a standard by just flipping the crank
5:24
Yes, you can Some outboards can handle that and other ones they don't you kind of get back to now you're putting all that pressure
5:32
you're basically running if you shift it if you like flip it then you're running the
5:39
Engine forward gear on the reverse gear and on the reverse gear bearing
5:43
So it's a lot more stress and if they aren't, you know One of these beefier newer outboard lower units then that will tear it up and cause premature failure in some of them
5:54
I have seen them flipped and They lasted a long long time. I mean they still run them today. So, you know, there are some caveats there
6:03
It's always going to depend on the model and the make and all that kind of stuff But that's basically the difference and how the lower unit goes from left to right hand as far as the shifting is concerned
6:14
One of the thing that I didn't really talk about that much on that when you're talking about the backlash being on the gears
6:20
So you've got you know a forward gear a pinion gear and a reverse gear one of the first and most crucial points
6:27
To the numbers that you get there are going to be the pinion gear height
6:32
So the height of the middle gear being the pinion gear whether that's down too far or up too far
6:38
That height is like the initial set point so you can move these gears back and forth all you want
6:42
But if you got the pinion gear height wrong, then you're gonna cause premature failure
6:47
Your backlash is gonna be off and you're probably gonna be rubbing gears and the lower units gonna fail
6:52
That's just something that I forgot to say in that video talking about You know the gear sets and all that stuff that's inside the lower unit and how the lower unit works
7:00
So Crispinator good a mate question. Is there a special socket you use to turn the driveshaft when getting the pinion nut off
7:08
I've bookmarked this as I said it's the best explanation of tolerances and the breakdown of the gear case that I've ever seen so thank you and
7:17
Yes, so I would say either I mean you can get the there is different
7:22
Sockets and it is a specific socket that goes on that drive shaft on the spline
7:27
So that way you can put a socket onto it to turn it if you use that type of socket
7:31
You're running the risk of stripping it out It's gonna roll over and it's going to you know
7:36
Mess up the threads and then you're gonna put that up into your power head mess up the crankshaft have all kinds of problems
7:41
So I wouldn't do that. I would definitely get whichever one for whichever mile you're working on and
7:46
You can get them OEM obviously gonna be the most expensive I'm pretty sure marine tech tools is probably gonna be the best that I've seen
7:54
That's what I use all of mine that go on the drive shafts or a merchant marine tech tools
7:58
I got basically a full set of the marine tech tools if you are like a DIY person and you're trying to do things like this like tear apart your engine tear apart your lower unit or
8:09
Do things like that move engines and move power heads stuff like that
8:13
marine tech tools is probably the best that I've found as far as tool wise because they have all of the
8:20
disassembly for the spanner nut on the lower unit the top of that for the carriers on the driveshaft for the
8:28
Jaw pullers for the trim and tilt units to get the caps off hooks
8:32
They go on the power head to pull the power head So I would always you know
8:36
I would suggest looking into them if you're looking to get that special socket for your lower unit
8:42
But it is a special one now as far as the pinion nut
8:47
on a Yamaha, I would say the Yamaha tool is the best because it's a
8:53
It's a pretty sweet thing. It's got like a spring on it so it's basically a handle and on the back of it, there's a
8:59
Like a it's like a T almost and this sides got a spring so it pushes it up
9:04
And then this top of it is where a socket fits and the sockets are replaceable
9:08
So you can take the socket out and put the right socket in there But depending on the gear case that you're working on and you basically just push it down slide it in and that spring pushes it
9:18
up onto the Pinion nut which is super useful I mean you could put a rag in there on the side of the case and then put the handle over so you could do it
9:29
By yourself, whereas most time they have you know a hundred and some odd pounds depending on the lower unit of torque on that
9:38
Nut so getting it off can be a pain sometimes and sometimes it's better to have two people
9:43
One to hold that Socket on the nut and one person to be on the top of the driveshaft to break it free
9:50
Otherwise if that thing falls off and you strip that nut that's on the pinion
9:55
That could be a problem that you're gonna have to deal with and that's gonna be a whole nother discussion
9:59
But yeah, it's a special socket. I would look into marine tech tools
10:03
They got the best ones that fit on there or you're gonna have to go with OEM
10:08
I don't think moto stop makes them not a hundred percent, but I would go with
10:13
Marine tech tools boats and outboards 9070 and what is wrong with filling the gear oil from the top hole
10:20
It doesn't go down the plastic sleeve question mark. So no, that's not really the problem with filling it from the top
10:28
The issue from filling it from the top is that the top is a vent
10:32
So because you've got all those gears you've got all those bearings
10:36
You've got the carrier you got the shift shaft and you got all these little Orifices and passages for the gear lube to go through so you want to fill the gear case from the bottom
10:45
So that way the gear lube like if this is the gear case the gear lube fills up from the bottom and it pushes all
10:51
The air out to the top So if you try and fill it from the top you're pushing it in but there's nowhere for that air to get out
10:59
And so now you're like you're not really putting any Gear lube in you'll get so much in but then it's going to
11:05
Pressurize the gear case to the point where the gear case filler the pump whatever you're using won't have enough pressure
11:12
to get the The gear lube in there in order to fill the case up
11:17
So that's why you got to fill it from the bottom and then it all is also
11:21
Important to the angle that you have the lower unit depending on the lower unit where the vent is and other things like that
11:27
So like on a lot of them you want to like if this is the cone of the lower unit and you're like this and you're
11:34
Filling it from the bottom a lot of times you want to tilt it back a little bit
11:38
So that way the air in the back where the bearing carrier is
11:42
the lube will go in and it'll go to the back and then it'll push all the air up to the top because if you've
11:47
Got the gear case like this and you fill it from here when it fills up
11:51
You're gonna have an air pocket up here in the top of the gear case in the bearing carrier And then it's gonna be low on oil and that goes back to the problem of that plastic sleeve that runs gear lube up
12:01
To the top to oil the drive shaft bearing proper lubrication up at the top of it
12:06
It could seize it overheat lock up all kinds of problems that you don't want to have to deal with
12:11
So depending on the gear case and how it's set up where that vent is on how you fill it up
12:16
The tilting of it is important like Mercury's they've got both of them on the back now a lot of them
12:21
And they want them parallel. They don't want you, you know tilting it this way that way
12:25
They want it basically parallel because it is a lot of those gear cases are
12:31
Built in a specific manner to have a specific amount of air in there the way they lubricate
12:36
I mean honestly It's funny that they actually took gear lube out of the gear case in order to get more horsepower more speed less friction
12:44
And that's just the design of the lower unit so they want to basically flat and you put it into the bottom and it fills up basically halfway on the thing and then out the
12:54
Top and out the back of that the other vent that's on the other side of the bearing carrier
12:58
So it depends on the lower unit that you're using and how you fill it up
13:04
but yeah, you can't fill it from the top to put it down because you'll You'll pressurize the case and it won't fill up with oil you'll be low and then you'll blow up that lower unit big problem
13:13
That you don't have to deal with Marcus 1134. What's the difference with waxed and non wax gelcoat
13:19
I have a skiff that's primed and I want to sand it smoothly out the fiberglass and
13:23
Then gel coat so as far as the gel coat goes With wax is the last coat without wax is they call it a laminating layer
13:34
so If you put wax in the gel coat You can't put another layer on top of it without having to sand it and it's important to put the wax in there
13:43
because that is what actually creates like a Layer of wax on the top
13:48
So as the gel coat is curing that wax goes to the top and it stops any
13:54
Oxygen from getting to the gel coat and that's what makes it it could take you know, two three weeks
14:00
I mean it could take a few weeks for the gel coat to cure properly
14:04
But if you don't put wax in there, you can't just sand it off so if you take a
14:08
Laminating layer which is gel coat with no wax in it and you and you let it cure and then you try and sand it
14:15
It's just gonna come off in a gummy substance. It's gonna gum up your sandpaper
14:20
It's gonna be a big problem to mess with and you have to sand that stuff
14:25
Anyway, because if you're going to put in a layer on it You can't have this halfway cured
14:30
Layer of gel coat and then put another one on top of it because it won't cure properly and later on you'll have all kinds
14:35
Of chipping and all kinds of delamination issues because it didn't laminate together
14:41
That's the big thing between the wax and the non wax If you take it and you put a layer on and then you let it cure for like, you know
14:50
An hour or two until it gets just tacky then you can put another layer on top of that
14:55
Immediately, obviously, you don't want to put you know A hundred layers on there because you'll have other issues with the way it cures, but you can do a couple of layers
15:05
in a in like a Systematic way so that way they'll cure together and make one good solid bond together
15:12
But then your last layer has to have wax in it to create that barrier from the oxygen to allow it to cure properly
15:19
So that's the biggest thing with the wax Dan B. Can you do a follow-up on the triple guard grease
15:24
I ordered a new tube of it and it has been changed from blue to yellow
15:28
No longer as tacky either please let us know if you found anything that can compare as I haven't so
15:34
No, I have not ordered any triple guard guard lately and That sucks because triple guard was probably the best grease for the marine industry that I have ever seen
15:44
My favorite is definitely Johnson every triple guard now, it's yellow now. I have not seen that
15:50
I mean, we just been using to foresee in yama lube So or even mercury extreme grease between those three that's basically all that we've been using lately
16:01
So that's unfortunate sorry to hear that I'm gonna have to order some just to check it out
16:07
Yellow didn't who would have thought that but thanks for letting us know back 40s good video
16:12
I have a 9.9 Honda and I cannot remove the pinion from the driveshaft opinion got stripped
16:17
So I want to replace it. I asked around for price quotes and they're charging me
16:23
$900 more than my budget. I have the part but have not had any luck any tips, please. So
16:29
honestly If you got paid $900, it sucks. You've already bought the pinion
16:35
I'm guessing you bought the pinion and the pinion nut But if that if that pinion failed you need to check all the other gears and everything else
16:43
It's inside that gear case make sure anything's good But honestly for what it's gonna take you to pull that thing apart and rebuild it and all that stuff
16:50
You could probably just find another lower unit like a 9.9 Honda lower unit, I'm sure you can find a used one for like three four or five hundred bucks
17:01
So if $900 over your budget, I wouldn't spend $900. Anyway on that lower unit
17:06
I would go find a used lower unit for only a couple hundred bucks and and do that. I would probably call
17:12
Lake Lanier because they've got just stuff like that piled up everywhere and you might be able to find a deal there and then also
17:18
look around on eBay and And then call Honda dealerships though when you start talking about little engines like a nine and a half a nine point nine
17:29
You're gonna have to find I would look for a marina that is real close to a lake or a lot of sailboats
17:36
And that is a Honda dealership because other places aren't really going to have you know
17:41
They're gonna be stocking old nine nine stuff like that But I would be looking for a blown-up
17:47
99 Honda that you could just buy the whole engine for a couple hundred bucks is blown up and not no one's gonna use it
17:53
And then just boom put that lower unit on there I wouldn't go through all the time the effort and buying all the parts of
18:00
The pinion gear and all that stuff But since you've already bought the pinion
18:06
Unfortunately, I would I kind of understand trying to understand what exactly is going on
18:09
Like you so the nut isn't coming off. Maybe you've stripped or something like that
18:13
so maybe try and get some vice grips in there to get on the nut because
18:20
You kind of got a problem there You can't cut it off because then you mess up the driveshaft and then not to mention
18:25
You need to get that thing off of there so you can check the needle bearings and the vertical driveshaft
18:32
Bearings as well to make sure that none of that stuff is messed up. So that's kind of unfortunate
18:37
I Would still even though you've bought that stuff I might even take just bite the bullet and go try and find a
18:44
Used lower unit blown up 99 Honda similar year with the same lower unit
18:50
you can go to like parts view comm or boats on net and look up your
18:54
lower unit and then get the part number for that lower unit for that engine and
18:59
Then go look at all the years before and after so that way you've got like a span of okay
19:05
it's the same lower unit from o2 to 2015 so that way when you start looking around, you know that if you find an o3 if you find a
19:15
12 or whatever it is for your engine that year range, you know, you can get the right part for that Steven
19:22
Leon I've got a 2002 Johnson v4 115 horsepower engine that's recently been experiencing
19:30
Extremely hard shifting from both neutral to forward and neutral to reverse last spring
19:35
I took the time to lubricate the pinnacle mechanism that I purchased
19:39
Used from a freshwater boat to replace the one that was on the boat as well as lubricate both the throttle cable and shift cable
19:45
by using tubing hose clamp to the cable filled it with silicone lubricant and
19:51
Pressurized it until the silicone came out the other end of the outboard
19:56
But the shift cable is still extremely hard to shift and many times when pushing the throttle forward
20:02
From neutral to forward the engine just revs up to 1500 rpm in neutral then goes into gear with a delayed shift
20:10
Based on what I've done already to rectify this situation and the symptoms that I'm experiencing
20:15
Would you say that I have a have a bad shift cable? It is the original so for one. Yeah, you probably got a bad shift cable
20:23
Definitely change that shift cable but talking about 1500 rpm Especially those older Johnson's a lot of them would do that where you know, it's a hard shift
20:31
So if you don't have the idle set right on that engine or you have another problem going on where like let's say
20:38
There's an issue with the base timer. Like there's a big they call like a it's I mean a base timer
20:43
it's a timing mechanism that's under the flywheel that is used to help set the timing and the idle and the
20:51
In gear idle speed of that engine With the throttle linkage and all that other stuff
20:57
You need to make sure that all that stuff is good and that you don't have another problem with that engine
21:02
Which is making it run at a high idle Very common with those engines to be at a high idle or being an advanced idle with something messed up
21:11
And if you're running a thousand twelve hundred fifteen hundred rpm, the things gonna shift hard no matter what so you need to get the shift
21:18
Cable off of the lower unit like just unhook it to where you can shift it
21:22
A lot of those Johnson's can be a pain because the you need to take the cases off of them
21:28
I mean just to drop the lower unit You need to split the case Because a lot of them the shift shaft has got a bolt at the top of it and it is bolted to the shift mechanism
21:37
So you can't just drop the lower unit So definitely split the case so you can see everything and then I would try and shift it by hand at the engine
21:47
So disconnect that shift cable try and take a pliers or whatever you can and try and shift it back and forth
21:53
But if you're anything like if you're 900 and above on the rpm at idle
21:59
It's gonna shift hard no matter what and especially it's gonna have a delayed shift because your clutch dog is going to be engaged
22:05
With one of the gears so like let's say, you know coming out of gear you're in forward trying to go to neutral
22:12
Well when you're in forward you've got pressure of that prop pushing forward and that clutch dog is engaged with that
22:20
Forward gear we got a lot of discussions about this good thing We made that video about showing the inside so that way you guys can see what I'm talking about
22:26
The forward gear and the clutch dog they are engaged together and they're spinning at a thousand or fifteen hundred rpm
22:34
So that thing is like it's mechanically locked together So the force of the shift trying to pull the clutch dog off of that gear
22:45
It takes a lot and not to mention once it finally releases You're putting so much pressure that it's most likely just gonna slam back into reverse and that's when a lot of the Johnson's you see
22:55
It all the time. There's slam shift in it. So you can't get it out of forward by the time you get out of Ford
23:00
You're back into reverse and the and a lot of the lower and a lot of those Johnson's have a problem with the trim unit
23:06
So that the engine just lifts itself up out of the water and it's a whole spectacle that everybody loves to see and make fun
23:13
Of but you don't want to be that guy and that's what I'm saying Is that if you've got an rpm issue
23:19
I would fix that first before trying to figure out the shifting issue because it sounds like you've got
23:25
Something else you're trying to diagnose a symptom of an underlying problem and you're trying to rectify something
23:32
That isn't really a problem it's being a symptom of another problem
23:37
Being you've got a an rpm problem. You like the engine is running
23:42
too high and Those gears are locked together and that's Probably what your bigger problem is. Otherwise, yeah
23:50
You could have you know The shift shaft could be stuck or you could have a problem with the lower unit a lot of times those lower units would start
23:57
to fail especially because of that issue where it was slam shifting for so long that it is chewed up the
24:05
clutch dog and then the the tabs that are on the forward and the reverse gear so
24:12
Definitely figure out that rpm issue because if you're trying to shift that thing at 1500 rpm
24:17
It's it's gonna be a problem. No matter what fake name How do you test an outboard rectifier regulator before install or is it even possible
24:27
I've had a couple of rectifiers die on me over the last two seasons
24:31
The way they've been failing is the regulator part of the rectifier
24:35
It sends over 16 volts into my 12-volt system and the red fused where wire where it connects to my starting system
24:44
Starts to melt the wire at one of the buck connectors Pass the fuse the fuse doesn't blow motor is a Yamaha 25 ELHS connected to a 704

Ignition key switch. Well the guts of a 704 stepped into a 703 side mount control no neutral safety, but otherwise the same
25:04
Yes, the 704 the 703 that shouldn't be a problem I should have nothing to do with any of that the rectifier regulator. Most of them just have
25:12
you know a Resistance and a diode test so you're testing the diodes in the rectifier regulator
25:19
But if you've got a problem where it's constantly burning up that rectifier
25:24
You might have another issue. I'd be looking at another issue on your power wires. Okay, it's gonna be three
25:30
So you've got an original and you've burned up two over the last two seasons. So you've burned out three rectifier regulators
25:36
I would say you might have a battery problem or you've got a bad connection
25:40
One of the crimps one of the ends on the battery cables one of the connections on the battery maybe at the battery switch
25:47
There's a loose connection on the battery switch Maybe on the engine where it's going or one of the power cables going to the engine could be
25:56
High resistance got a break in it got a cut in it Anything like that and because you don't need that much power on a 25 like to turn that thing over
26:06
You don't need all that that much amperage to run that starter and to get that thing started
26:11
So it probably will go a lot longer Even with the resistance and the connection problem because it doesn't really need that much amperage to turn over and run that starter
26:23
so I think Most likely you you don't I mean It's not gonna be a state or anything like that because the state are just gonna produce what it produces and it's gonna be putting
26:33
It to the rectifier regulator. I mean, I guess maybe I'm trying to think of it
26:38
The possibility of the state are producing too much power and bring out the rectifier regulator
26:43
But I just see that to be highly unlikely that's just what the job of the rectifier regulator is to do is to take as much voltage as it's gonna produce and
26:53
Use what it needs to use and send the rest of ground and like, you know flush it out
26:58
So possibly you've got a ground issue where that rectifier regulator is not able to get rid of whatever
27:04
Extra voltage that it has and it's just burning it up and then flowing through and like you said
27:09
It's getting 16 volts coming out of it, which it shouldn't so if it's
27:14
Burning itself up to where it's putting 16 volts out My first thought is that it's not able to get rid of that
27:22
Which means you've got a grounding issue somewhere and the rectifier regulator can't get rid of the power
27:26
That it's trying to get rid of and that's what's most likely burning it out
27:30
I'm gonna be looking for loose and dirty connections and bad cables first to make sure 100
27:37
That you know You don't have any other issues and then maybe go ahead and take a look at this stator just to test it and see
27:44
but I just find that to be Unlikely as far as a problem and and even less likely that you've got three bad rectifier regulators
27:54
I would say there's a connection problem or a resistant problem. That's burning those up adventures of a boat guy
27:59
Glad you made this video going to have to rebuild a six horsepower mercury lower unit that I got as a basket case
28:05
You're welcome and that's a Gonna be fun. I'm gonna tell you the same thing that we were talking about just a minute ago with the six horse
28:14
If you've got a lower unit, that's a basket case opposed to
28:19
Going in trying to rebuild that lower unit Depending on the price of everything and the availability of stuff
28:25
I would honestly start looking around for a used lower unit Before you go putting a bunch of time and money into
28:33
the little six horse lower unit if you've got a serious legitimate physical problem with it and
28:41
Rebuilding it. I mean it's it's your time It's your money, but based on those those little things a lot of times those engines if they blow up
28:49
People throw that stuff away So if you could find a used lower unit for a hundred or a couple hundred bucks
28:56
Then it's gonna save you a whole lot of trouble and then also if you can find one that's blown up now you've got it some extra parts like if you need a carburetor if
29:05
You need anything else says you got a basket case So maybe you've got other problems with the engine and you need some extra parts. So I would look at that first
29:14
We'll go ahead and do another one before we cut it off today I'm gonna try not to butcher this one
29:21
I'd like to see a 20 to 24 foot center console bay boat trans restoration
29:26
I did a 22 foot 2001 blazer bay a few years back and I'm super happy with it
29:32
Still have a few kinks to work out But overall had a ton of fun curious to see what you would do on one versus what I did
29:40
I would love to do a bay bow as of right now. We've only got the
29:45
I've got a fun project with a little boat coming up I've got a we've got a 17 foot Key West. That's gonna be a full restoration
29:53
It's getting rewired get a new dash panel engine needs to be gone through. It's got a fuel tank issues getting a trolling motor
29:59
So we got a bunch of stuff on the 17. That's gonna come out. I don't have a bay boat in the
30:05
Foreseeable future. I would love to do a bay boat, but I kind of want to do a Wake or ski boat or a flats boat
30:12
Those are kind of the next two that I would be looking into after the other little boat that I'm working on
30:19
Hopefully acquiring but yeah, I'd be trying to trick it out. You know, I mean if it's gonna be a uses a bay boat
30:24
We're talking a power pole talking jack jack plates Making sure trim tabs all stuff's working
30:30
Usually I like to rewire them just because I like to make you know
30:34
Get all that stuff in there fresh and then do the dashes a lot of times on
30:38
Stuff like that the dashes are all old and busted Best thing that I mean the easiest and the best thing that I do a lot of times
30:45
I don't really like to make acrylic panels and stuff like that So it's a lot easier to just go to new wire marine and have them make a dash panel
30:52
I mean, it's phenomenal what they do You basically get like a template from them and then like mount out what you have
30:59
Send it to them and then customize the whole thing. You can put your name in it. You can do all kinds of stuff
31:04
They'll put the switches and everything in it So when you get it, then you can just pop it in and then you know
31:09
Clean up all the wiring and everything but it saves you a lot of work and it's all like it looks really really good. So
31:17
That's usually what I like to do with the dashes Bayboat trolling motor you're gonna want a trolling motor on there
31:23
So I mean you could really deck out a a bay boat
31:27
You can put a lot of money in it too. So it all depends on you didn't say what you had
31:32
Cs1 blazer base. I'm wondering probably got like a 250 on there. So blazer Bay is not a bad boat
31:37
That's actually a really good boat. And that's basically all that I could think of as far as doing a bay boat
31:43
We'd love to do one maybe in the future Definitely open to it. So that'll end it for this week
31:48
