Honwave Puncture - Will it Sink? (10,000 Subscriber Special)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 лип 2024
- In this video I simulate a tube puncture in my Honwave T32-IE to see how well the other tubes will keep the boat afloat and whether I can manoeuvre the boat with the tubes down. As I'm often out fishing three miles offshore I wanted to test what would happen with each of the tubes deflated in the safety of shallow water. Should the Honwave perform badly it could find itself up for sale, assuming it's not at the bottom of the sea by the end of the video.

Thats really quite impressive. Thanks for taking the time to make it, and huge props to Daniel who had the annoying job of holding in the valve!
Chris you have done something I have never seen, thoroughly...thank you .
excellent video. 1 tip, turn valve quarter turn whilst pushing in and it will lock; save poor Daniel having to hold it in! :)
A very good video demonstration of the ability of a SIB floatation ability. Well done lads.
Excellent boat behaviour.
Greetings from Greece 🇬🇷 !
You called it Cloughey Bay? I have wondered where my own personal heritage is from.
My last name is Clough, I live in Maryland, USA and my Dad is from Maine, USA.
A dream come true would be for me to travel across the pond as folks call it and visit the wonderful places I see on videos and TV
Thank you for the boating videos and the computer ones. I get so much enjoyment from them!!!
Thank you! Jay
Excellent demo of the boat’s capabilities
Brilliant demonstration well done on showing this 👏
What a cracking test, thank you
looks like we can save the day on a flat sea. it's still quite impressive, well done, I wouldn't dare to do the same thing
Great idea, nicely executed!
Brilliant, good stuff for sharing this👍
Also I am actually quiet impressed. So all my concerns to buy one and take the kids with is no problem at all. We can all swim, but you never know.
Brilliant test 👏👏👏it’s gonna be an Honwave for me.
Thanks
Really good to know that although 3 Chambers were down you can still come in under power. Great video.
Brilliant video. Thank you for showing this
Very useful video. I’m on the verge of spilling some cash into one of these and this really helped my decision.
excellent vid, well done :)
I am proud owner of a Honwave 30AE and I have been very impressed these 3 years ☺️ I have Honda BF15 with electric start, marine battery and a electric pump just in case.
excellent video chris... :)
Impressive!
Good Job
Great video,I have a honwave with aluminium floor, going to try this next spring
Good luck!
Brilliant…..
Interesting- I have been thinking the same about my Honwave 38- I think there are only two cells -one on either side-and the two 'floor cells'; in my view there should be a separate 'bow section' to keep the prow up into any chop; also I wonder how your test would work with-say a more typical 10-15 hp engine weighing about 100 pounds; I might give it a go myself but it will need to be summer and a LOT warmer first ! Thanks anyway-Tom
Impressive safety margin on my old very large Avon red seal or redshank if you left one side some air from the other side was in second air bag within the side balloon so stayed very still bit soggy but not sinking so again very safe….my old zodiac 310 worked the same quite fail safe..
Great video gives people faith in the boat when your out at sea. What beach did you video that on if you don’t mind me asking? Thanks for sharing Ray K. UK. YNWA.
Hi, Great Video, how confortable is seatting in Honwave,?
Great video's Chris, can you tell what you think of the Garmin Striker fish finder and which transducer mount are you using please. T32 owner.
@@ChristopherFlannigan Many thanks.
Thank you for this video. As a new Honwave 3.8 airdeck owner this is very reassuring. Any tips for fitting the launch wheels? I feel a little uneasy about drilling 8 holes in the transom of an inflatable boat. Thank you
Use plenty of silicon to seal everything up.
Hi did you know your boy didn't have to hold the valve in? you can just push it in and turn it and it will lock open so you can fold the boat up 😁👍
Great video Chris! What are you filming on? What’s the setup please?
Christopher Flannigan Many thanks!
Thank you for a good demonstration. I wonder if you can help , i have a 3.8m air floor. i have blown up two Bravo electric pumps as i am unable to get the correct adapter for the pump. I believe it is because the adapter does not open the valve correctly? What adapter do you use ? does it have a central bar in the inside of the adapter ?
If you do not find an adapter with central bar inside then take one and put a wooden nail on it. You have to put enough heat on the nail until it is able to melt the plastic of the adapter in order to put it from one side to the other. Then simply cut the nail from each side.
süper
you can push in the nob and twist it clockwise to lock the valve fully open saves you holding your finger on it just in case you didnt no?
Or take flex tape and find the hole and put it on it or carry your hand pump good video tho
Because of possible punctures on the floor I choosed a RIB instead of a SIB. Would not easy for me hear the sound of a puncture on the boat floor being 3miles offshore. I feel more safe knowing that under my feet is there something rigid....
It is the auxiliary outboard too that makes you feel more safe that you don't have in a sib unless you have some cheap 2hp 2 stroke lying on the floor with of course separate fuel tank.
Nice test
Would really nice to know if with no air at all in all the chambers, if the boat keeps going and motor would keep running...
Is that the air vee floor or flat air deck with inflatable keel
Probably have different results if you had a long gash and water entered into tube. ie hit a rock tearing front and side tube.
But for a fish hook a bit of guerilla tape should get you home.👍
@@ChristopherFlannigan Love your vids and read All comments too ! Guerrilla Tape I have never used but I did buy Water proof Guerilla glue to fix a tiny transducer to the bottom of my Orkney dinghy , it lasted about 6 hrs, if the tape performs like the glue then give to the kids for craftwork as it should not be near water.
A numpty I know (me) ran his dingy in to a rock put a 7inch gash in the port side tube and it just deflate, I did the 3miles trip back to the beach and told everyone it was a shark attack!🤥
Marine duct tape. At least 2 with you
