Thanks for your comment! Yes, we've been boating on Big Mamma this year. I can't say a lot as it is always too little for me :) But we had few nice journeys on Curonian Lagoon. One of them just on the last weekend. We went on Nemunas river once (I made a video on that. With drone shots) and most of our weekends are on Kaunas rezervoir. Yes, this summer was a hot one. I'm glad you finally launched your Stevie after the impeller replacement. I had an adventure with snapped alternator/water pump belt. Had my 5hp Suzuki ready for such events. And it worked at 1/2 throttle only... It was OK downwind, but the second half of the rote was upwind... So had to ask a nice guy for a tow... A float of shame behind the other boat :)

@@Dasiukas Nice. I've been towed a few times too, and it is wonderful when someone helps you in your time of need. I need to fit either a small outboard like your Suzuki or a bigger trolling motor to the 2nd swim ladder for such occasions. I have the motors, but just need to make a little wood mount that bolts to the right swim ladder.

When they say 8 years they assume the bulb to be on for several hours per day. On that new Osram bulb package was a note 2.7 h/day or 15000 hours. My outdoors lamp is on for a whole night operated by light sensor. So about 4400 hour/year. Maybe the bulbs could last longer if I bought better ones. But I usually use cheap ones. So that's the result (2.5 years). I wont bother with the repair... I too think it is not the LED that failed.

@@juanquintero9642 Usually I fill it up with 95 octane petrol ( European standard) but most of it is E7 or even E10. That means it contains 7% or 10% of ethanol witch is undesirable for this old engine. So somtimes I use E0 98 octane without ethanol if I can find and if it is not super pricy.

Thank you for a comment. Hydrofoil needs very little force to be pulled. So yes, even a very small boat will work. There are hydrofoils of different size of course and we tried smaller for the first time (previous video. Check it too). And it was much more difficult to learn. This time (second time) we tried a bigger one (both the board and the foil are bigger). It works on lower speed and you have more time to react. I'm bigger and heavier than my friend, so it is much harder for me to stand up though. I tried foiling on my knees but with no big success.

Thank you for the praise. We're getting a bit fed up with the simple wake board so we're trying new toys!

@@ditrii Thanks for your comment!

@@audriusgozelskis207 Būtinai!

@@bennyblanko3 Thank you! Nice to hear about camping and boating. Be hurry with your boat! You have a limited time of liquid water. And would be nice to properly test the new impeller!

Thanks for comment. Quite a good place for sticking it! I always keep it in my Jeep door tray...

@@sharonshoffner2920 Thank you!

@@robanfield1 You are completely right. The bellow was half alive though 😀. And it is still the same 2 1/2 years later… Quite impressive stubbornness!

Thanks for watching. I filled through the very top hole (as I had no oil pump) and that is not so very correct way to fill oil. Usually you fill through the bottom drain hole using an oil pump untill the oil starts flowing from the upper (very top) hole. Then you plug the upper hole and after that disconnect your oil pump and close the bottom hole with the plug also.

Thanks for your notice. Just this acid is not very strong nor dangerous. It’s like lemon acid… So it works this way too. No big differece

@@Dasiukas Correct, it´s a medium strong acid. But it¨s still a very bad practice to pour water to acid, because it makes room for mistakes. And you will risk getting it in your face due to exotherm process when doing like this with another acids or bases . So to keep it safe and follow the correct procedure 🙂

@@ErikHansen-u9q Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you! Usually vertical shaft turns clock vice (when looking from the top). So impeller arms gets to their place while correctly rotating the shaft with impeller and pushing pump housing down on it. Good luck with the repair!

@@Dasiukas Great, thank you for answering that prompt. BTW: the casing needs 240 ml of SAE 90 oil. Ciao.

Happy to know being helpful! Thank you!

Thank you for your good words. Glad for your success with the impeller. You should go boating immediately as you have two weeks till the winter 😉. We are going on a boat trip today. Spending night on the water somewhere in a calm place. River this time. Video is coming soon

Bonjour, j'ai le même moteur et j'ai quelques questions dès que possible Merci. facebook.com/balloumi.cheker.1?mibextid=ZbWKwL

@@koussay1234 Hi, of course you can ask. I'll be sure to answer if I have that much knowledge.

Thank you!

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you! That's an old boat made in UK. My guess is about 1985. Quite a nice boat, perfect for 2 or 3 on board. 4 is a bit too much for a Mercury 50. Very stabile. I think there are lots of similar boats for sale for affordable price.

Labas. Visi ratai stabdo tik į priekį. Atgal padaryta, kad nestabdytų. Tik reikia teisingai sumontuoti, nesumaišyti.

Thanks. And for comment also

Hi, John. It’s just half past midnight here but I’ll check the part number for you tomorrow. I just googled for it and went through all possible places they could offer the part. Chose the best price…

@Dasiukas thank you so much. I've been looking for the litter pin same one you lost been hours looking from can't understand how it can be lost it fell to the floor in front of. It's mad. Be most thank for your help. Goodnight look forward to hearing from you.

@@johnwilliams7269 So... Housing with bearing and with seal (mine was without o-ring). This complete part No. is 56110-98502-02M. I was lucky to find it for $28.60 but the total price with shipping and all the fees was about $53. That small part lost by me and by you too is (as specified in the catalog Fig 17, ref. No. 16) a PIN, push. It has a part No. 57632-98500. It is the simplest part in the whole outboard 😀. I had already made that part completely from scratch, but then I found it inside the gear case. It is not very precise. Just use a part of a drill bit of the corresponding diameter. Cut off a piece from the shank the same length as diameter. Make sure that cut off end is clean and perpendicular (you can put it in to the drill and sand the end while spinning). The spring will compensate an inaccuracy. If you give me your email, I could send you the part catalogue. But I just searched a little and found it here: www.brownspoint.com/pdf/DT5(83).pdf That one is for 1983 model. And for the other year models check this: www.brownspoint.com/t-bpmodel.aspx?modelId=29 Good luck with your repair! Have a nice time on the water!

@@johnwilliams7269 I can see your comment 10 h ago and this one “did you get my reply…” only

@johnwilliams7269 I see your 3-rd time :)

Need to try! perhaps 🙄

Thank you. OMC 800 lower unit differs from mine. The upper and intermediary are the same though. Anyways they have a lot of similarities.

Thank you! We came here for nice winter views. Used to come here by boat in summer times.

Thanks for a comment. It’s winter with snow here too. Just that footage is from last spring :) Post machines are the great invention! We have may be 4 companies of this service competing here.

Thanks for your comment. Yes, those propane bottle gaskets are of good material but too big. I could get proper gaskets here locally from an on line store. But you know... You are working on something and don't want to wait for a few days to get a "shippy" part worth a few cents. Amazon is a world wide but I use it rarely as shipping takes too long (depends of where to ship from of course). If to ship from USA it takes from about 2 weeks to 2 months (that's not by Amazon but generally speaking). It is difficult to find American parts here. But... even though Suzuki is made in Japan, buying a bearing from the US was the cheapest. About a small outboard on my big boat. It could be too small in tough conditions. But generally it push my boat at a speed like you paddle a dinghy. Wow! You've got a bunch of outboards! And yes, you can get help from a nice stranger if you are not alone in that part of a lake. And yes, now are the times of civilization. You can just use your mobile phone and call for help. That small Suzuki backup outboard haven't been started since that maintenance time (for 1.5 year already). May be I should check it if it still runs in spring. I know that my English is not perfect and that I lack words. I like that you understand my made up words. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thanks! And, your English is great! Yes, I went from no outboards to a bunch, because my friend inherited a 12' aluminum boat, and his didn't run properly. They don't cost much over here, maybe $200, which is almost the cost of one part ... so I accidentally started collecting a few, as they pop up. I have 2 Yamaha 8 hp, one 2 stroke, one 4 stroke, and they are real nice and quiet and run great, but cost a little more than the cheap ones (mostly Johnson/Evenrude which are very common around my home).@@Dasiukas

@@bennyblanko3 I bought that Suzuki for 200€ here. And it was quite maintained and clean. Some parts with signs of wear, but good overall. And after all my efforts it sits in stern part of Big Mamma under the cushion for 1.5 years already. Waiting for be used 😀

Thanks! Cotter pin... I'll forget it for sure :)

Wow! Thanks for the detailed description. Your design is much more robust! Why not build a full shed for the boat and trailer? That's my dream. To be able to get inside the boat in the winter and do some maintenance work. Hope we'll not have too much snow here and my construction will survive.

Yes, that is what I need. A shed/barn to put the boat in, during the winter, so I can make it perfect when the weather gets warmer. I personally don't have enough property for that, and I'm getting older too (60 years old). My friend who I go boating with (where I leave my boat now) lives in the country on 40 acres, but just got himself a new old boat (boston whaler 14') and put that into a barn. I'm going to see how the boat fares this winter. Good luck to you, and I enjoy all your videos!@@Dasiukas

Oh, and I took the out drive off, and put it in my garage for some work. So, I'll probably be referring back to your previous videos. I want to change the impeller, and also take the gearing out of my old drive and put it in my "newer" one, and maybe change the prop. too, as the gearing is too low for my V8 boat (very similar to your motor).

Light shed is not a big deal to build but yes, it needs some space. My first boat was (is) also 14'. There are some videos about it in my cannel too. It's like a wasp if compared to my bigger boat (last one could be considered as a May bug :) ) Good luck with your repair! It's nice when you have enough time in winter and don't need to be hurry. Easier to do all things properly.

A rather pragmatic evaluation 😀. Thanks for your comment

I’m happy my video could help you. One thing you missed is you can use English subtitles. Just turn them on. I do translate all my videos to English.

@@Dasiukas - Many thanks. I just watched part 2 and saw the hint to turn on subtitles. That's 2 new things I've learned today 😀

Tai iš nosies betoną paskui išpūti ir viskas… 😀

Thank you Dave, for your good words! It’s nice to know someone is waiting for a new video!

Jo, išbandyta jau daug kartų 😉

😀

If I got a new one, I'd expect it to look a little different inside... :) and outside too :)

Thank you!

Thanks for your notice. I found no gasket here originally. So I didn't use any gasket or shim here as internal parts do not interfere and are moving freely. There is still some leak through the seal after the repair though.

Dėkui. Sėkmingai suremontuoti!

That is so called OMC electric shift. Was produced till 1976 ( or 1977). later was different lower unit with hydro mechanical shift. What are you interested in?

Thank you for your notice. I’ve been using the old bearing to push the new one further on. Pushing the outer ring. Some force could go to the inner too though. Anyway that wheel is okay for the second season already
