Just found your channel. Really enjoyable to watch and learn from. A virtual trip out on your boat. Love the Salcombe area. Thanks for sharing

I personally would also use super unleaded. The other fuels that use alcohol rot pipes and seals from the inside out which may not help your issue.

Very informative thanks for sharing 👍

If it's fuel contamination another motor running on the same fuel isn't going to help I would've dumped a fuel in a glass jar or a clean 5 gallon bucket and see what the contaminants were you have to be able to see water or contaminants in the fuel

There were many useful tips / useful information and lessons I have learnt from your video. Keep up your enjoyable and down to earth videos.

Glad it worked out for you. I was in the same situation recently, ended up being a low pressure pump in the VST. I checked the fuel a week or two later and noticed small few particles inside the fuel, I think it's the fuel lines degrading, so I'm planning on putting in new lines. Maybe worth it on your end

Think I'd settle for a one in forty year event! Sometimes I think you just have to take in on the chin, mitigate the risks as far as you can and move on.. Have a great Xmas.

Thanks for the update. In my previous comment i did not ask you why you did not have a, as we call it in Holland, a "homecoming" engine. I was thinking it would sound stupid as a not having a boat person, explaning to a person that has a boat, what he should do. Capice? Glad to see you have got a small extra engine now👍. Hope you and yours have a very merry Xmas and hope to see you again next year Greetz from Stipo

A word of humble advice never use fuel additives petrol or diesel , A couple of my mates have had engine stop and indeed one of injector failure/replacement whilst using these products, and like you, investigated (the injector chap did go for fuel analysis as his bill was in the £000's), and nothing found until a clean tank of fuel was connected minus additive. . E10 does indeed attract water through its ethanol content as you know, but keep it fresh or tank to the brim and forget additives in the marine environment..

Glad to see it all worked out in the end. I'm lucky there's a garage just up the road which has E5 and Premium. It would be worth taking some of the fuel in the tank and putting it in a plastic bottle and letting it stand overnight. It should then seperate any water contamination. My 6hp is just about to be serviced and any fuel drained for winterising. Happy Xmas to you and yours, look forward to more videos in the New Year ⚓

I had the same ,found pick up pipe split in 2nd tank ,had to transfere fuel into first tank to get home.

Good for you fitting an auxiliary. Some others with you tube channels are not so sensible. 🤔

Strange that it's running and then stops after 10 minutes i have had that when the fuel bulb is is facing down and seems to slow the petrol feed engine stopped couple of squeeze on the bulb and engine works with the bulb pointing upward, but yes the e 20 petrol is not good and even the outboard manufacturer has a problem with the gaskets getting knackered and don't know what to do about it

Have a great Christmas

I use aspen in my lawnmower. It made my life much easier thanks to its longevity and stability.

Great video it what keep’s me from getting a boat the cost and fath on I just charter once or twice a week have a great Christmas you and the family and look forward to more videos in the new year

Hiya, I'm very surprised that no-one has suggested SEAFOAM in the fuel tank on a regular basis, Even after a year after winter our engine started first time and ran sweet as a nut all season every time. Just a guess, but I suspect simple condensation on a cold n frosty morning, I think during the warmer months all good, until late autumn and without fuel additive this will repeat itself. We have never used any other additives and about £13 Seafoam does exactly what is required from the product whether petrol or diesel. Anyways I never thought you would have broken the law of all people to receive a ticket,Glad you found your friends out eh. Have a great Xmas n new year to all your family. Cheers from Scotland ❤️

Old MOB saying "2 is 1 and 1 is none" with kit. I don't use the internal fuel tank on my auxiliary, switch to external and when finished just turn to internal and run the engine out of fuel (dry). Carrying a full spare fuel line gives me piece of mind. Lucas fuel stabiliser and cylinder head lube work great for up to 6 months storage. Never use E10. Worth the 20 min trip to get E5. Glad you got in safe, good drills and good explanation on recovery procedures. PS. Thanks for the Lazy Lures renaissance suggestion.

Hi Rob, is the auxiliary long or short shaft, am looking for one for my 175 cheers

Great to hear that all is ok with the boat Rob , it was tough fishing out there today , until about 2.30pm just out out Salcombe and the bass came on , one cracker at almost 5lbs and some smaller ones that were returned , it was cold though ..😊

Glad you got back mate, but you've hot the mail on the head, E10 is terrible, ruins the inner fuel pipe linings

Merry Christmas Rob, I enjoyed your non fishing video. I only lure fish for bass off the shore, day and night, you have just convinced me never to buy a boat. Greetings from Ireland.

Hello, Sorry if this has already been mentioned or you have checked. Did you check for degradation of the fuel lines? I had the same problem,with my mercury's, about a year ago. The fuel lines from tank to engine had degraded inside. Not easy to see on the outside of the line.Engine kept cutting out. Glad to see you got back safe.👍 Regards, Russ.

Lesson learnt ... no women allowed on boat it's bad luck 😅

Boaters should NEVER use E10 - too much water in this stuff. On all the boaters I talk to one Petrol Station company crops up regular-ish, even on the lower ethanol content fuel is SHELL - something weird in all their fuel - dont know what it is, but just like E10 - IT EATS GASKETS and causes outboards to collapse. With E10 the water content can build over time(and as said - ethanol eats gaskets and more - google it). I have emptied small outboards internal tanks(that broke down) and often surprised how much water in them. Also - this water will sit in the sump bowl of a carburettor - don't forget the fuel lines. Without adding a stabilizer - fuel has an 8 week life span - I use 'Stabil' (gives it 1 year life). One other problem that can occur over time is a resin skin can form inside fuel lines - it grows like a clear plastic lining and then eventualy breaks up and gathers at one end, blocking the flow of fuel - noticable when accelerating.

E10 fuel draws moisture from the air if the tank vent is left open or not sealing properly i found this out to my cost when using E10 on my 175 with a inbuilt fuel tank and using a fuel stabilizer thinking because i used a stabilizer my fuel would be ok ive had to replace my H/P fuel pump & filter Fuel regulator in the vst tank H /P fuel filter L /Pressure fuel filter and fuel line as the Ethanol eats into the inner core of the fuel pipe blocking fuel supply having been told by suzuki UK my engine will run fine using E10 but if E5 is available use that instead the E10 could of had water contamination from the place you bought it from as the garage tanks have a open air vent ive never had any problems using E5 but went on holiday down to Fowey and the only fuel available was E10 ill never use it again or if i have to ill use plastic tanks and make sure the the tank is full and the air valve is closed when its stored Tight Lines Alain

Glad you found the problem rob. Merry Xmas and a happy new year to you and yours. 😊😊😊

these things happen, my boat goes in the water spring 2025 at last. merry xmas to you and yours heres to a fishy 2025.

I was told by Yamaha Jeff don’t buy supermarket fuel

Glad you're be back and everything is OK merry Christmas to you too

first again, sad lol

Hi rob , what fladen feathers do you use and recommend , I bought some sea tech ones from ashbys as fladen were out of stock , as I have had nothing on them in the last two trips even with squid on them …

Hi Rob , looking at the ray marine that you have as I have loweance hds 7 gen 2 on the wellcraft and it’s 10 years old now , it does have the navionics platinum plus card , but it’s very clunky to navigate and I have been told that raymarine is very straightforward , I have the garmin echo map 45cv on the brig rib which is fine , however your set up combines the navionics and sonar nicely in a good size , did you source it locally and get it fitted locally as well ? Thanks

Main thing is that you were both back safely. Till next time. 🎣 🦑

The Aux debate is a real dilemma. I don't use one and luckily have never needed one in over 20 years (that's me jinxed!). It would alter the way my boat balances and I think affect performance and efficiency of the main engine. Having said that if I broke down without one I would no doubt immediately regret it! Great to see the help you received and the boating community looking after one another. I am sure you would do the same for anyone who needed the help. Be good to hear about how you coped with the situation as it arose and the action you took 👍

Bad luck Rob. Sounds fuel related to me, maybe the cold snap has caused some separation. I also don't use an aux, as it is a lot of extra transom weight to drag around for almost no use. Hope to see you out there again soon, and hoping our weather will be kinder for the rest of the winter, as I need to get on the Skerries for some Spurs.

So pleased you are well and both got back safely, thank the Lord 👍

Always enjoy the videos, bad luck on this occasion. Will you be considering an auxiliary in the future after this problem?

Hope it's nothing to serious with the engine and you are back on the water soon. Going to have to go back to the bit explaining the tides, weight and lures etc bit until I understand it but thanks for explaining.

Nightmare! Good to see Ness though. Hope the squid is tasty

WOW, now that is a stroke of bad luck!!! Thank god you got help from a fellow fisherman aided by the coastguard, massive thanks to both of them otherwise you might be drifting who knows where to and for how long. You are an experient sea angler but i think for Vanessa it must have felt very frigtning. Hope she feals better after this event and hope she understands that she was safe all the time 👍. Not only because of the help you received but i am sure, seeing how calm you always are in your video's, your precense must have helped her aswell. Hope this was a fluke and will happen never again. Hope to see you "here" soon again. Greetz from Stipo

Would love to see a follow up video up what happend with the engine and any repair that was needed, Thanks for the video - L C

Ahh bad luck hope you get all sorted

Hope it hasn’t put your stepsister off I know you’ll not be too worried it’s part of fishing and these things rarely happen pleased everyone is ok and not an expensive engine fix

Spare 8 10 hp will take you away from rocks and get you home stay safe always

Not a good day ,glad you got a tow back and are safe , hope the engine is not to expensive to repair

Glad you got back safe rob. Hope the engine isn’t to bad or to expensive to repair 😊

Hope the engine isn't too bad mate

Used to fish on the first Anglo dawn with Ted cook he knew his stuff, lovely squid you caught thanks

Good to see you back in safe
