Awesome job as usual. These video’s are so valuable to anyone who owns a boat and wants to take on a project themself. What you have accomplished with that “crooked Pilothouse” is nothing short of amazing. If you had to contract out all of your build outs, modifications and service it would easily have cost you $50,000. You are an amazing technician and a great guy!
Thank you frank for your awesome Comment and viewers like you Brings the best in my modification and yes everything i have done i wouldn't been able to afford it,
Thanks cap. For your awesome feedback 😉🏝👍
You sir are a inspiration to me. When the time comes for my Parker 2120 I'll be watching all these videos again. Your very talented. Keep these videos coming 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much Larry I really appreciate your positive feedback and hopefully you will get your boat 1 day in the future captain so you can do all this work yourself And if I can help in any way just ask captain👍🛥
You are so great installing equipments in the boat, I love watching you do it.
Thank you so much for your awesome support and I do have more videos coming on the installation hopefully you like those 2 thank you so much for being awesome viewer of the channel👍🛥⚓
Watching your installations is like watching a “long lost art form”. This was the way my father taught me how to do a job too. Nothing like the shoddy workmanship that many of todays marina’s and boat dealers turn out because they need to speed up the jobs and cut corners to make their work more profitable. This is why I prefer to do my installations myself as you do. The proof of shoddy manufacturing workmanship is why your boat had to be unfortunately named “The Crooked Pilothouse”. . . . I’m sure you would have preferred something like “The Foxy One”😜
You are so Right cap. Thats why It's better for us to do our own work because we take pride on it and you're right they have to speed up the process to make more profits and the consumer loses quality on the way and you, And yes I love that name if my boat was not crooked I will call it foxy one lol😉😁👍👍
This is great, part of the fun of owning a boat is being able to turn it to your needs and taste, great job!
Very true Roberto you have to make it your own to enjoy it👍
Looks good as usual. With the bigger autopilot now if you get bigger motors you are all set.
Yes you're right captain I didn't think of that now I'm ready for a bigger motor in the future👍👍🛥
wow Cap amazing work cant wait to see the new equipment running on the water...but im sure it wil be great as i know you know your way around these types off things. till the next one cap be safe
Thanks Gerds is a lot of work but is for awesome use ,thanks for watching cap
Captain I enjoy watching you work your majic !
I appreciate that cap. i love to share this videos with you, thanks for being part of the channel 👍👍⚓
Nice job Capt! You made the bleed-out seem easy! I have a bleed-kit that uses a different procedure and uses less fluid; that SeaStar fluid is 'pricey'.... The SeaStar manual lists 7-8 other brands of fluids that will work (mostly aviation fluids), but none of those are available anywhere near where I live.
Thank you Andrew and yes they're very pricey usually about $25 a quart And it's good to do this at least every 6 to 8 years to have new power steering fluid it really helps the system perform better, Mine was a little discolorated after 3 years but since I have a new pump I wanted to have everything new so I don't have to worry about it for another 8 years And thanks for watching captain have a awesome night
Great job as usual Capt!
thanks Mike the part 2 of the finishing of this video comes out tomorrow hope you like it cap.
You really do do nice work and explained each step as you go. I am a bit confused in installing the shadow drive putting a tee fitting in the line. Could you provide a diagram for the layout of the hoses? In the video everything blended in to me and I did not understand where the hoses went. Thank you for all you're videos , Rob
Hello rob as you watch the video look at each host that I'm telling my viewers to install and make a diagram as I'm saying it and it's really simple I don't have a diagram But right there on the video you can see with all the hoses go go very simple captain I hope this helps
Great job Captain!! Can't wait for the next video.
Thanks John I really appreciate you watching It keeps me motivated to keep on filming👍👍🛥⚓
GREAT..the installation is very clean and detailed.its time to test them to run on the sea.stay safe captain
Yes captain can't wait to try it on the water I'll show it to you soon how it runs
Very thorough and well explained, thank you. Curious as to why you went with Garmin over the Raymarine Ev-100. Were you having problems with the EV-100 handling your size boat out in the ocean with its type.5 pump? Would the EV-150 with the type 1 pump have initially been a better choice? Although a matter of opinion, its appears the Raymarine looks to be the easier install for the challenged do it your-selfer.
The rain marine is easier and the . 5 Pump is not enough power The best thing is to get the1.0 liter But I find out that the garment is more quieter and better performance But I find out that the garmin is more quieter and better performance
Very impressive! I like watching your installation and modification videos because of the level of detail you put into them. Not only do you have a better understanding of your boats systems, but the money you save in labor costs is awesome. Looking forward to the next video, Captain!
You are so right captain you save a lot of money and you learn to troubleshoot your system when any problem arises you know exactly how they function thank you so much for watching captain
@@OutOnTheReef did you close the return line isolation screw on the pump after you bled the system?
I am having issues with vibration in my steering lines and have had no luck re bleeding the system
@@bundyaeromodellers No captain and mine vibrate sometimes too. But the unit works perfect even though it vibrates sometimes
Absolutely enjoy all your videos.
Thank you Aaron I appreciate you watching my videos👍👍🛥
Great job! Thank you for posting!
Anytime captain and I hope this video has helped you on your installation
,,GLAD YOUR MOUNT IMPROVEMENTS WORKED OUT, KEEP SAFE SKIPPER...
Thanks Bob and I'll show you how I do the wiring on the next video thank you for watching
buen video capitan muy instructivo y la explicación de la instalación super Clarita 👍👍👍👍
Gracias capitan espero que ayude a muchos👍🛥
@@OutOnTheReef el que mo instale la bomba esa con este video que se ahorque por que mas claro es el agua jajajajjajaja y si es de bimini mejor👍
@@DeepBlueChannelCom jajajaja
@@DeepBlueChannelCom es facil solamente paciencia
Gracias Capi por tus videos!!!!!!
De nada y gracias a ti por ser parte del cannal capitan 👍👍🛥
Another great video Captain!
Thanks buddy really appreciate your watching and having us some night
Nice video Captain! Very helpful video... well done mate...
Thanks cap. For your awesome feedback 😉👍👍
Thanks for sharing. This is the only Auto Pilot Install video of Garmin on the web I see.
Question: I was provided three fluid lines with my kit. I believe I need to have more lines than that concidering I am adding the shadow drive.
Sea star classic tilt
Single helm
Same pump and GHC 20
Was given 3 lines. Looks like I need 6. I am not replacing an old autopilot, but adding NEW.
Yes you do captain and You need to purchase 2 kids of the Hydraulic hoses to complete The installation with the shadow drive, Thank you so much for the awesome Comment captain, And I hope your installation goes smoothly👍👍🛥⚓️
Another great video! Quick question - want to install the same system, I have 2 steering stations 1 up front and 1 on the deck. Where do you tie into the system???
What I know is that you have to install it at the main helm the lower helm not in the upper one but to double check that call garmin but I'm almost 95% sure is the lower helm that way the shadow drive can operate properly cap.
Great video and nice installation!
Thank you Angelo can thank you for watching😉👍
You make things look so simple
Lol cap. The hardest thing is filming and working at the same time
Nice job Cab but the way they installed mine is with quick connect fittings. Are you on connect the fitting no leaking a fluid take the pump out whatever you need to take out and put a quick connect back in and you’re done.
That is so awesome captain I didn't know that existed I would look those up to see what that look like thanks for the heads up👍👍
@@OutOnTheReef I tried attaching a picture here but it wouldn’t let me if you have an email I’ll send it to you
Looks good captain 👍🏾
Thanks cap. For watching 👍
Nice and smooth install captain. Great job
Safe Navigating
Thsnk Will for watching 👍👍⚓
Your welcome. Thank you for the great content and all the hard work you do to make it all come together
@@Will-ol9lp 🤗👍
With all the additions you have made to your boat, have you weight it with the changes? Has the additional weight changed your fuel consumption?
Yes it has very much cap. I was doing about 3.2 MPG now i do about 2.8MPG but is all worth it cap. It makes the boat more comfortable
As always nice installation, can I use the Garmin sea star fitting kit from Amazon between the shadow drive and the hose.
Thank you captain for watching and I don't think you can use those you have to go to a hydraulic specialist supply store and get those fittings take the shadow drive with you so they can help you
Good job Captain 👍🎣🐟
Thanks Erich Now my equipment will be compatible with the chart plotter👍
Captain for the shadow drive Installation do I need to buy 2 sets of hydraulic hoses for the extra line? Thanks for your help.
Yes cap i did buy a extra one set but is good because this way you have spare for emergencies and i placed the link in the description below of the one i used in this video cap. I hope it helps, navigate safe cap.
Do you think the clear hose can be used as one of the black hoses? I need and extra hose and have an extra clear one. What do you think?
No definitely no cap the clear hose is not for Hydraulic pressure you ned another black one cap.💪👍
Greeting 1:46 Indonesia..awake middle of non stop rain since 7pm..So nice your boat.so clean.so we can saw your DIY clear and nice....One day hope your engine is 250 ..lol...
Hello buddy how you doing today I'm sorry about the rain and yes hopefully one day I'll have A 250 or A 225 horsepower Is that will really improve my boats power
@@OutOnTheReef Fine capt .some area of Jakarta City become swimming pool..while Omicron make a school close.noa student can increase Imun by swimming for Free.Lol...Yes sure one day have a new engine..( Yamaha or Evindrued?) and Also Aqua Map Garmin big screen.
@@agaramelan7319 wow terrible condition cap. And yes Evinrude is another excellent product
@@OutOnTheReef For sure capt ...white cover..will be match
Almost ready for the sea trial. Summer is Coming
Yes is almost here cap. Im anxious 😁
Nice capitan. Nicely done.
Hello Saul thanks buddy👍👍😉🛥
How much space is their to sleep on the boat? From the wall in front to the end of the cushion? Thinking of getting one to go to Visit a lot of islands in the Bahamas.
1 person 5 feet ^ inches and a small 2nd person but 2 full adults don't fit cap the bed is very small me and my wife hardly fit and she is short
Nice work OOTR 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you Andy and thank you for taking your time to give me an awesome feedback👍👍
Hi, I am installing the same pump, does the isolation screw stay out on the return line back to the steering helm after you bleed it.
So the return line is operating all the time not closed off?
Cheers
The return line is very needed for the system to work. And if you look at mine it's exactly how you need to install it captain
Starting a similar project today, out of curiosity why did you change the mounting location for your pump? previously you had it vertically but now you made a small platform for it. TYIA
yes cap the raymarine had a different requirements but garmin needs to be flat
Nicely done!!
Thank you! Cheers!👍⚓👍
Hi, how do you deal with hydraulic oil and keep from spilling everywhere when you take them off old pump and install on new one?
You have to place a container under the lines to collect the spell and also you have to be fast
Nice video. I’m looking to install the same kit on my boat and the instruction for the pump says not to have a longer hose run than 10’ from the pump to the steering cylinder (ram). It looks like you have more than that-did you run into any issues because of it? It will certainly help my install if I don’t have to hold to that 10’ dimension. Thx.
Hello Louis and no I do not have a problem at all with my installation my shadow drive works perfect everything is just perfect And yes I know what you're saying that would take you a lot more work but if you do it the way I did it you shouldn't have a problem with it captain because I certainly don't have any issues it's been working for several months navigating far away from land with no problems hope this helps and I hope you have a great installation captain and anything I can help you with let me know👍
@@OutOnTheReef Thanks! I appreciate your response. Keep up the good work.
@@lewiswatchorn7239 anytime cap👍🛥
Where do you connect the red and black wires that are coming out of the shadow drive?
I did this installation a long time Go cap. But go to the installation manual and is easy to follow from there, let me know if i can help in any otger way cap.
Where did you buy the hoses and fittings for the Shadow drive?
The host is I placed the link in the description below but the fittings you have to go to a hydraulic specialist company I have no links for those captain but for the hoses check out the link in the discussion below they're really affordable
Great video as always. Curious why you decided to replace your autopilot ? Your old one failed?
The size of the unit was not big enough for my boat so I decided to get something bigger that responds quicker
@@OutOnTheReef got ya. Awesome. Hope it works better for you
I couldn't quite figure out if that was an adjustable sae or metric wrench. Or if there was a difference. 🤔🤔🤔
I'm sorry Tom I really don't know about metric I just see the wrench and if it fits I use it lol thanks for watching
Nice job !!!!
Thanks to Eduardo for watching👍👍
Better then a factory Install! Nice job! can't wait to see it in action! 😎👍⚓
Thanks captain. 😉 soon i will put it to the test👍🛥
I’d hire you for sure to put one in for me.
Lol thank you so much but you really appreciate your awesome feedback😉👍
Hello..
very nice work! What kind of plastic do you use to install the pump on it? Thank you
amzn.to/3INDJRu. This is like the one I use captain I got it at amazon I hope it helps
@@OutOnTheReef thats beautifull...thanks
@@nicoluelf anytime cap
GOOD JOB
Thank you, Kevin. I really appreciate your feedback, captain.
Is the crooked pilot house equipped with power assisted steering?
No cap ot has Seastar hydraulics
Thanks for the response. My boat has a seastar with hyd. assist. It changes things up a bit. I appreciate your videos. You do a great job.
Hi! Captain, why don’t you place the pump to the old location instead put it horizontal ? Could the pump stand stand vertical? Thanks captain.
No cap. It has to be parallel installed thats why i did not place it in the same place 👍⚓️
why did you take out the old pump ? Wasn't it a raymarine unit ?
We came out to a conclusion that I was under size for my boat so I decided just to get a bigger UN it and more compatible with my garmin equipment
Thanks cap
Anytime cap😉👍🛥
Was your old pump used for an existing autopilot?
No cap only for the raymarine unit
Do you have the T coming directly from your helm?
Yes thats the way to install it cap.
Hello, why did you change the autopilot brand. You installed EV 100 from Raymarine first. Were you not satisfied with Raymarine?
yes cap i went with garmin because is way better system and great customer support too
If you don't mind me asking.....Why did you switch from the raymarine autopilot?
The reason was it was it was Losing heading sometimes and sometimes it works perfect and it works perfect and it was due to the system was too small for my boat especially the pump But going with garmin matches all my equipment and it's more compatible with my equipment
I've been going with this issue for 3 years and it's time to move up
I thought I was in a doctors office for a minute there with that quart of Seastar hydraulic fluid hanging like that it reminded me of an IV bag
Lol captain yes I thought the same thing it looked like a IV and really the boat was going through surgery so it was a good illustration lol thanks for watching captain
@3:05 i didnt want to overdo it. 🤣 As soon as you hear the squeak squeak you already passed the point of overdoing it
Lol a true mechanic 🤣👍👍⚓️🛥
how much do you want for your old system?
Good job cap
Thanks James I really appreciate you watching
@@OutOnTheReef been watching hoping I my get a free xl tee shirt
@@jameskevintaylor1655 lol cap. 😆
Thanks for watching
How are you feeling about this system? Just ordered it waiting for installation
I love it cap. Is 100% better then Raymarine and better customer service 👍⚓️
Would I need to purchase 2 of the hose kits in order to complete the shadow drive install
yes cap and i placed the link of the same ones i use , hope that will help you cap, if i can help in any other way please let me know, and remember if you use my amazon links amazon will give my channel a commission and that will help me make more videos cap, thanks for your support and watching cap.
@@OutOnTheReef
Thanks for the reply Capt., love the channel and your trips to the Bahamas and Keys. You need to get yourself an electric reel set up and Slow Pitch Jigging set up. . Keep them coming.
@dougsquatch3232 that exactly what im going to do cap. Soon i will show you what i pick👍😉🎣
@@OutOnTheReef
I have a question on the dockside wizard. I just received y Reactor 40 and in dockside wizard it suggest using rpm from NMEA 2 k engine if connected.
Wouldn’t using the GPS be better for speed source? What option did you pick
@dougsquatch3232 I use the GPS captain I don't have the engine harness attached to my system
What is the model of your boat?
This boat is one of a kind cap. Is a Crooked Pilothouse only one build like this👍🛥
Excellent! Do you want to sell your old Raymarinie EV100???
Send me your email cap.
Capitán 🤟🏼✋🏻✋🏻
Saludos
It took long enough OMG
Yes it wad about time 😁
What is the size of your crooked pilot house boat...
it is 21 feet 8,6 beam cap.
Cap. Why did you install the new autopilot. I thought you already had autopilot.
The rain marine was giving me problems engaging on the heading And we came out to a solution that we think that is under size for my boat And that's why I got a bigger pump and the equipment is compatible with the chartplotter
Do you have link to the two shadow drive hoses ??
Yes is in the description below under hydraulic hoses it is cheaper to buy the kit cap. Thats what i used in this video and it works 👍 great
@@OutOnTheReef SO I NEED TWO OF THOSE KITS?
I thought I needed two extra hoses for shadow drive?
@Roly1105 Yes that's why buying the kit only for the shadow drive and for the pump you gotta buy another kit And at the end of the installation you only have one extra hose which is the return hose
@@OutOnTheReef Thank You thats what i thought
Looking good I am a garman fan but there customer service sucks
Well I can tell you garmin customer service from experience is better than raymarine
why are you changing pump?
The original pump had a minor leak so the garmin warranty had it replaced no charge 👍🛳⚓️
You had Ray marine autopilot , how is works ? i am planing to install on my Northcoast 215 hd , 175 susuki. which better Ray Marine or Garmin?
@sergeytitov7984 from experience Garmin is way better and great customer service too cap.
If i had to do ot all over again i will still go with garmin, navigate safe cap
Thank you
Great video except you didn't explain what you were doing. You just kept saying, Im going to connect this hose here. I'm going to attach this fitting here, etc.etc. You didn't go in depth telling what was what and lost me. I was going to try do do mine myself, but couldnt keep up with what you were hooking up. You didnt explain what was what until you said - this is the starboard line here. Good job though, you obviously knew ahead of time where everything was going.
My apologies cap. And this installation has part 1 and part 2 hopefully it helps
Great videos but why you are covering your face !
It's something that I've been doing all the time in my channel and basically I'd like to keep my privacy, my private life And my UA-cam channel separate
" The hydraulic pipe fitted connections "
Go to a hydraulic supplier with your pump so they can quide you cap
@@OutOnTheReef There is no option to buy the pipes and the fitted connections for the shadow drive in Amazon ?
@@OutOnTheReef I want to buy exactly 1.2 l garmin pump like what you have....
@@alen2486 yes look at the description below cap. I added the t fittings and things you need to Install it cap check it out
@@alen2486 i have it linked in the description below cap.
I dont get something, Im going to install my Reactor 40 with a Smart Pump... shouldn't be much different regarding the hydraulic hookups... I thought that since I have 2 Seastar hoses coming from the stern to the back of the helm, (I currently have no auto pilot)... if I understand the diagram from Garmin, the port and stern lines coming from the steering ram both have T fittings (as well as shut off valves, buts that's another story); your hookup looks like you used only one T , and hooked one side into the pump... Im confused... I will watch your videos again, but am I missing something ? Look at pg 5 of this Garmin installation manual.
static.garmin.com/pumac/SmartPump_Installation_Instructions_v2_EN-US.pdf
Yes is confusing because i had a previous pump on my boat so i just needed a T Fitting, hope my video helps cap👍⚓️
So wheres the 2nd T ? ...Still dont understand, the diagram from Garmin shows that the lines coming each from Port and Starboard from cylinder need to have a T to split them to helm, and to the pump, why does that work on yours ? Look at the diagram I attached the link in my comment above. Btw, great job on your videos, thanks.
I see !! the T is directly on the back of the helm on the starboard side !! My bad.
