I pride myself on giving you honest reviews of anything I purchase or research. FYI, you may not agree with it, but it's my review not yours! So, if you're in the market, this is the first review, I'm going to do a 6 month review ...

How to Camp in the Ford F-150, Hunting Season is Upon Us
Переглядів 802 роки тому
I live an hour and fifteen minutes from where I hunt. Some people like to tent camp, however, when you're out in the field by yourself, in almost complete darkness with the coyotes, foxes, and racoons, I like the most protection I can get. So I've started setting my truck up to be able to hunt, eat, sleep, and hunt some more. Isn't youtube awesome? I'm getting all my ideas on here and it has he...
Fishing and Camping on Crosswinds Campground at Jordan Lake
Переглядів 1,5 тис.2 роки тому
I keep calling it Crosspointe, but this is Crosswinds on Jordan Lake. It felt good to be back on the water and to camp out. I love the fall weather in NC and I take the time to get out with "Brax-Attax" and the Old man to do some fishing and camping. Have you ever been camping at Crosswinds? Not my favorite place at all, I prefer to go to Morrow Mountain State Park, more room, less people, and ...

Watch This Before You Mount Your Own Outboard, Motor is Too Low
Переглядів 37 тис.2 роки тому
This is the first time I've mounted my own motor and I did it just like the directions said to do it. Took it out and ran it to break it in and experienced some problems. I now know the fix (Jack plate and stabilizer), but I have to admit, this was super frustrating. I'll have to take the cables off the motor (Steering, throttle, and gear), sounds like no big issue, however, I'll have to take t...

We've come a long ways, this is the end of major renovations. The J14 is a great boat.

Every year we have to go out and cut our lanes, trim up paths, parking areas, tell stories, and wait for one of us to do something dumb (on occasion, it's me). One of the things I enjoy most is just hanging around with my wife's brothers and seeing them. As a true southerner, we pride ourselves on family and tradition, however, life has changed over the years and we don't see family as much as ...

Not a fan due to idling / throttle issues...
Great job
How has this paint held up? I’m thinking about doing the same.
@@kowalski2041 I sold the boat…paint did ok for two years though
@@outdoorheretic8232 that’s good to hear man, thanks for the information
Do you have the link to the rub rail, or the exact name to look up?
I tried to look for it and I didn't see where I had it. I'm pretty sure I got it off of Amazon, but I couldn't find that on my account.
Have been going out there since the late 80s. Used to never see a soul out there back then
I'm probably hitting the water with my kayak there this evening. How far have you been back there? I just recently started fishing it with a boat / kayak. I lived all my life right down the road and been there many times throughout the years. Just rarely by boat.
WE went to the back, but it gets real shallow in there depending on the time of the year. Fun place when they are biting.
you eat any of them you catch?
Absolutely, all the time
@@outdoorheretic8232 Glad to hear. I'm moving to raleigh soon and trying to find some bodies of water that are safe to eat out of
@@cr7neymar908 you should be good on most waters here, unless there’s an advisory.
This happened to me today
Hope you get it set
@outdoorheretic8232 yes I had got a jack plate headed to the water right now
Hey man I’m in the Fayetteville area would love to come check out you boat as I just bought a j14 myself and I’m looking to put a console on mine and love the build nice boat and god bless
Damion, appreciate it man...I'd be more than happy to do so, but I sold it about a year ago, took up fly fishing in the mountains, got hooked, bought waders and haven't turned back since.
Hey you in Crystal River FL???
No sir, much further north!
You know, Just an idea you could get a low voltage computer fan to pull heat out. Connect to battery with a switch to turn off and on. Your idea is amazing I did the same thing because of you. But with the fan :) Thanks for the money saving idea.
lol, sounds awesome!
I was having the same problem yesterday with a 2stroke 8hp, so I added a one inch chunk of rubber flooring the same width as the transom and it completely solved the water coming over the stern. According to the Suzuki manual the transom was already at the specified height of 15", but it definitely wasn't working regardless of trim.
They were absolutely amazing to work with when I bought my 20 as well! Great folks no doubt!
DIY Jack Plate
Just "discoveed" this area looking at google maps and was curious, your video is a big help! What do you mean by "see beaver dam" on the red cons slide?
Let me check it and I’ll get back to you, I say a lot of confusing things! Lol
@@outdoorheretic8232 I think I answered my own question with your other videos. I believe it's a reference to Falls Lake?
It is falls lake. Nice place, can be crowded on the weekends!
17” transom needs a short shaft. For some reason short shaft ‘supposedly’ is 15” but they truly measure 17”. I always had to use a 2” spacer on top of my transom for best performance. I work on small short shaft outboards so when I rebuilt my transom, I made it 17” deep and now it’s perfect for short shaft motors.. Hope this helps somebody some day.
It does, you are correct! Wish I would have iknown that starting. Thanks for the advice!
@@outdoorheretic8232 Thank you for the video, these help us all to learn together! 🙏
How’s the topside paint holding up?
Sold the boat, the first year and a half it did well.
Just put bennet trim tabs on my j12 .. boat couldnt plane out now it planes instantly
Glad to hear it, really is a great little boat
0:55 "Fish jumping, they know Iam here"🤣
Need to caulk around boards again you have holes water can get in but will have a hard time escaping
Thanks for the input, appreciate the help
good deal man. appreciate a review from someone old school like me
Appreciate it, really is a good UTV
Do you need to put any kind of clear over that cans of splatter paint? I’m fixing to redo my Botton just trying to get ideas how to do it I want to do the top of mine like yours.
I didn’t and it held up super good. I put it on with the paint still tacky. Hope that helps
Thanks for the video, it helped me with my install.
Awesome to hear! Enjoy the boat
Do you mind telling me where you can buy the actual factory style rub rail? I know you didn't want to mention it but i could really use it as ive tried to find it.
If your talking about the black rubber rub rail, Carolina Skiff was the only place that had them
@outdoorheretic8232 oh so you can only get the factory style rub rail from carolina skiff?
@@mychaelmitchell4632 only place I could find it, it’s why I went cheap!
This is one of my teachers
Thanks for taking the time to do this. Kinda sketchy sending that much $ online to something you are not sure of. They are cheaper than any dealer even with left over stock.
I had a great experience, matter of fact, thinking about getting another one from them now.
👍🏻
Check the page of your prop you’re on the right track still may need a smaller pitch prop
Thanks TIM!
Super Cool!
Tennessee is a conservative state, so it is legit! No commies there!
What do you do if you have a warranty concern with the engines ordered from them? I want to buy a small outboard from them.
I would ask them, I’m not sure, it was a great motor though!
That is a smart man thanks learn something new 👍
Appreciate you!
This was a great review. I wanted to see the dash and workings. I actually pick mine up this week. Getting excited to put it to work. I owned a 610xc. Reliable but way under powered for what I needed. So. Looking forward to the extra 200+cc.
Awesome video super encouraging
Why would you not take the time to just sand it down and make it look good now it looks like a pile of💩
nice
I love the 36 month warranty. When I was in college back in the 70s, I worked as a Kawasaki motorcycle mechanic. Kawasaki's are built like tanks. They take a lickin and keep on tickin.... Great review. Thanks RT
Thanks, we love it!
Good video. I'd would have added is a piece of 1/2" x 4" aluminum strip to run acrost your back transom so the motor mounts have a solid wider surface to grab onto. This would add a lot of stability to your transom. I would also add a 1/4" thick piece of vibration damping pad on the other side of the transome where the touches the boat.
Thanks for the info!
Also, thanks,on behalf of the town, for a favorable review.
What about lower motor raise jackplate
He is from South Carolina, that explains the whining
YES,,EVERY THING YOU SAID IS TRUE
I just got a motor from them and they’re great. Thanks for the review
Love it man. Excellent job with the flooring and seating/storage ideas👌👍
Appreciate your kindness!
Thanks for the review ! Weird thing is that I have mobility issues as well ! Been paralyzed from the waist down since birth. I've had a john deere gator TX, and a Honda pioneer 1000. One oddball question is , how is the seat height ? I tend to venture away from my vehicle at times , and since I can't walk , I'll be pulling myself up from the ground. I was going to buy another gator , but saw these. I used to work at a Kawi dealership , and only seen the Mules come in for service. Oil changes, and an air filter swap , and they went out the door . Great reliability and durability.
Seat is a bit high, especially for wheelchair users to transfer! The bench seat though is a bit easier for Brax to navigate! Thanks again, praying you keep on enjoying the outdoors!
anti-ventilation plate
I have a very similar skiff, what kinda speed u get off the 25?
In the videos I have seen, the Honda 500 was LOUD. And the Mule seems quiet! Is it as quiet as it seems?
It can be loud. I actually thought it’s louder than the Honda, but that could just be me
Good video. I just tried mine and im having the same issues .20" transom and 20 shaft mercury. Hole shot is no good and water coming over the transom and only revving 4200 should be 5500
Hope you get it fixed
