Heck, I sunk a 5hp Yamaha brand new that my grandfather got on his birthday in 30 ft of salt water. We got it back , put it on deck and washed it with fresh water... it fired right up.
Yeah, and we got to see that no challenge is too great for those rescue tows. I did wonder if Fred was watching? They were working so close to his snack bar and then he surfaces minutes later. Yeeps!
I did salvage years ago and the best thing for a submerged outboard is to leave it until your ready to start working on it! Otherwise, if pulled from the water and left sitting more than a few hours the salt will crystalize in the cylinders, rings , and other critical components, once that happens its a expensive paper weight!
He did say that keeping it in water helps bcuz it oxidation that eats at the metal ( not in the same words) n also Merc does an excellent job in their manufacturing processes of metals to salt water !
@@lindabenedict2632 Right, once oxygen reaches the salt water it begins crystallization. I have started outboards that were submerged for weeks, and immediacy pull plugs fog cylinders clean off and check electrical system, hook up new battery and crank them up! Mercury has gotten better over the years, but Suzuki and Honda have the best protection and more stainless fasteners.
I lost a little 2-stroke 4hp outboard off the back of a little sailing cabin boat while it was running, and it took a week before I could get a grappling hook on it to recover it from salt water. I pulled the plug and cycled the motor after cleaning out the carb, and after replacing them, it started immediately and ran a treat. Never had a problem with it afterwards.
His pride went down with the boat which made you an easy target to lash out at. Just how some men seem to be when something happens to them. Funny he even took the time to acknowledge you. Thank you for sharing. Happy Day
You're right, that's every boaters nightmare. I'd be crazy upset as well. That being said, this is one of the best videos you've shot. Very interesting the process to recover the boat. Thank you for showing it and to the owner for allowing us to see it.
As a life long boater in the Miami/Ft Laud area and one that lives on the water and keeps their boat in the water I can probably guess what happened. Boats like that usually have very little distance between the deck and outside water line. Meaning if the deck drains overboard there is no much distance. Should the boat become heavy then water will actually flow in the boat through the deck drains and result in this. Clearly the plug was in so that was not the cause. If I had to guess, the boat had a leak like from a thru hull for the bait well or some other thru hull fitting below the water line. Maybe a broken hose or broken fitting. The bilge pump kept the boat floating until the batteries went dead. This is assuming of course the boat was docked there over night. Bilge pump was probably running all night long, once the pumps stop the water rushing in through a broken thru hull will sink the boat in 15 mins. We would not see the water coming from a broken thru hull when the boat was lifted out because Sea Tow pumped most of the water out. Scenario #2 is the guy shut all power off which included the bilge pumps and left the boat docked over night. Maybe it rained that night, the boat took on just enough water from the rain to put those deck drains under water and the rest is history. Had the bilge pumps been working it could last all night pumping rain out before the batteries went dead.
Alfred, you did not do anything wrong by posting this vid! Whether the owner wants you to or not. You have every right! Most people have never seen this kind of thing happen... and your excellent coverage of the situation created documentation of the accident and can be used as a learning tool for others. Plus like you said... 50 other people have already shared it on their social media and 50 of their friend shared it and so on. It's not like there was a body or a death and you were being disrespectful! Please keep doing what you do because it rocks!
@@debistanley2791 What happened in that King Tide video was simple, Alfred was making noise on Dock 9 behind Fred the Croc and that just startled the Croc. He quickly turned, saw it was a Human and then went to Deeper water, nothing more. Have a nice Day.
P.S. I rate this VLOG a 10..... My boat sunk twice @ the dock. Bilge pump 1st & Float switch 2nd. I know what it feels like :( BIG TIME!!!! Alfred I've been watching you for only 3 -4 months now & personally I think you've got all the South Florida, (aka) Miami VOLGER's BEAT!!! Your sittin' out there in the HEAT & with bug's & FRED!!!!!OMG!!!!!! Your narration is AWESOME & respect for fellow boater's is duly NOTED! Rock-On BIG Al!!!
Wow, kuddos to you for giving this man so much grace. I'd like to think I would respond the same when he was angry you were filming. Your empathy made me a bigger fan than I already was. Thanks for being kid bro!
That was great to watch...thank you for showing the whole process...even tho I do feel heartbroken for the owner. The video was very educational, and the tow did a great job. Just sorry for the owner...thank you!
Good job in handling the situation as you stated no not owner takes pleasure in seeing another owner having boat issues. I have always helped other owners when they have had boat issues, even made a new friend when I helped another owner out. We all can learn from these type of issues
You're a good man Alfredo.... We're California boaters and we enjoy your boat reviews, el setenta y nueve, and of course the chitshow! My wife is Cubana and she laughs when I watch your channel. She asks if I understand what you're saying, lol...not really. It's nice to see compassion for those in dire yet we still enjoy laughing at the those in chit. Gracias papá
As much fun as It is to watch the boat wrecks and recoveries I always feel bad for the boat owners. I know it sucks to loose your boat to an accident or to another idiot on the water but I do take notes on what happens at every accident. So thank you all for sharing in your grief....
When shit happens to me i always look to see who saw it. It's embarrassing dude. Do you like feeling embarrassed in front of the whole world? Maybe we film and air your shit streaks LoL
So sad to see that nice boat full of water! Excellent job videoing this. You handled everything very well. Glad the owner gave permission for you to post. Glad they saved it fir him.
Alfred, totally enjoyed your vid. I’m 62 yrs old n about 2 ugh no, probably 3 decades ago changed an impeller on a Volvo penta underway so I appreciate learning even at my age. Thanks Dude
I am a brand new boat novice. This was very educational for me. I never knew how sinking boats were recovered. It must very very costly for the owner. My prayers are with him.
Mandatory boat 🚤 insurance will cover most of this ,unless the underwriters prove negligence on behalf of the owner and believe me if there is a back door for the underwriters they will find it. Don’t forget your life jackets !
Great job Alfred working it out with the distressed boat owner. Classy move. Another guy would've disregarded the owner and just posted. Hats off to the Sea Tow captain for a great job. Did they ever find the cause of the leak, why she sunk?
Many thanks to the owner for approving you posting this and kudos to you for working it out with him. I feel horrible for the owner but this is awesome to watch - it hits on my biggest fear everytime I leave my boat tied up.
Al the world needs more people like you, this gentleman will be very happy to have meet you after all is said and done love all your content. Always watching Eddie from Hudson, Florida.
You know this man was dr adding your presence all the way back to the dock. Chit happens to everyone. Precious cargo only adds to what must have been a terrifying situation at sea. Props to Skipper for jumping in and hooking up those floats and perhaps he will just toss you in the drink. You tell 'em you're on Fred watch 24/7! Safety first, right? I watch from Ohio with my cat. We thank you, honorary harbor master. 😊
Well that sucks that his boat sunk but it was really cool to see how they recover the boat and your narration of how they are going to save it and bring it back to life was informative.
Excellent job Brother Educating those that have never witnessed something like this Hope Everything works for the Best To the Unfortunate Captain Great Job By All
Great video I can't believe how quick that recovery was! It's a blessing it didn't sink off shore somewhere! (Could've gone w/o seeing the pelican being eaten, but hey that's just me. 🤷♀️
Hopefully you will be able to add some info if your in contact to actually what happened.. MAYBE.. thank you to the owner as well for letting Alfred capture this on video.. Definitely something no boat owner wants to go through.
know its been a minute but thank you for what you do, from a record, insurance, step-by-step its great to have access to these - mainly if someone needs them or to see what a family member/ friend may be doing or not with your equipment. Stay safe.
He was just looking for someone of something to release his anger on. Nothing personal and refreshing you handled him with such grace when he needed it the most. Sea tow is the bomb! They rescued our boat on our first trip out on it and it was drifting because the anchor rope wasn’t long enough! They hunted us down despite our coordinates ever changing!
@@guy-wf4xb I would think substantially more. A tow off a sandbar is 500 where I live in FL. A tow from offshore is in the thousands. I would think it would be 6-10k.
I would watch this video and the chip show all day long before I would watch one thing on ABC, NBC, or CBS! Shows like Alfred’s are 100 times better then the shit show that ABC and NBC and CBS puts out! Anybody that watches the alphabet channels is brain dead and bored to tears and it’s 100% certain you cannot trust one word not one word of their news broadcast !!! We know we can trust Alfred’s news because we can see it!
Amazing process of righting the boat, then pumping it out. Alfred I watched all of the video on UA-cam. Chit Show is bad ass. They did an excellent job getting the boat up and out. Note: any news on how you're going to give away your Verado? I sure would like to enter. I had to retire early from nursing 20+ years, for our veterans at the VA, due to my own military injuries. As a result, I couldn't afford to buy a boat after I moved down to Corpus Christi. I have my eye on an solid older 23' Grady White WA hull for pretty cheap. I would love to be able to help other veterans by taking them fishing. Let us know what we need to do to enter. You did a great job with this video Alfred 👍
Alfred......very good point you made, that just maybe, someone watching this will learn from what caused this to happen and to avoid it happening to them. Way to go and I'm glad the owner understood this by letting you post this video.
Did anyone notice the sign “No Overnight Docking” ? I saw a lot of Great Sportsmanship here and Thank God for Alfred Montaner. I’m quite sure a lot of Good will come out of your video for a lot of people.. Thank You Al…
This happened to me 12 years ago. I parked in a very low shallow water but I didn’t mean to stay overnight I parked it at families home and when the low tide came, my boat was laying down on its side and as soon as the tide came in, it filled the boat up halfway and we ended up renting a pool pump getting all the water out quickly and since the motor was completely submerged, we were very lucky that we ended up rinsing everything with water on the outside and we put transmission fluid in every single hole after removing all the spark plugs. Put in a new starter and thankfully it started back up. But you’re right you’ve got to do this quickly because of the oxygen hitting that motor after salt water. Really awesome coverage bro!!!
Alfred, well done on covering this story! I feel bad for the boat owner. We dont know what happened or how the boat got flooded/sunk. It would be incredible if you could find out the story behind it, how it happened and what's his take on it. Again, Kudos for the awesome coverage! Bien hecho! As for the pelican, well,, it's nature :-)
You handled like a perfect gentleman Alfred. I just can’t understand how it sunk. It was obviously water tight by water draining after plug was removed.
Many console boats have live wells. (A compartment that pulls water in from a thruhull fitting and to keep the bait alive) If the fitting or gasket fails the boat will slowly fill the hull below the deck. Once it fills with enough to submerge the scuppers (upper deck drains), it fills quite rapidly. It’s very important for live well equipped boats to have a high volume bilge pump directly wired to the batteries. This guys pump either failed or lost power.
Anthony, please create a shirt 👕 that says "wait for it" with your internet address and chit show 😉. Love this channel I have witness all this at various docks.
Heck, I sunk a 5hp Yamaha brand new that my grandfather got on his birthday in 30 ft of salt water. We got it back , put it on deck and washed it with fresh water... it fired right up.
Alfred handled that like an adult, refreshing and a lesson for people negotiating.
Yeah, and we got to see that no challenge is too great for those rescue tows. I did wonder if Fred was watching? They were working so close to his snack bar and then he surfaces minutes later. Yeeps!
He had no choice him and his zoom lenses going for a swim with Fred 😂
Agreed, it's dumb to engage in childish behavior.
Demonetization straighten anybody out make them act right I'd like to see the other side of it though if it wasn't demonetized
Many of us would never see this without your video. So many rooting for the owners recovery of his boat. Very interesting!
To hell with that guy! He can’t tell you what can film in public 😎 Chit Show must go on! 😂🍻
That was interesting! Can’t believe I watched the entire video!! Well done.
When it gets that bad you better be able to laugh at yourself, nobody is permanently injured, life goes on.
Great decision to work it out so that you could share this; ANDawesome that you included the message "keep the water clean!"
That’s the type of guy that rips by when your fishing and makes a big wake. Couldn’t have happened to a better guy
how the hell would you know that?
agreed ! take pictures and you're gonna go swimming. I would have said come over here and you'll join your boat.

That’s what you call a respectable towing service for boats
Tons of respect for the recovery guy. Absolutely no help but he gets it done
How’d the boat sink?
Thank You Al for showing us the WHOLE PROCESS of the boat being Re-Floated!!!! Very Interesting. It was a long VLOG but NOT BOARING AT ALL!!!!!
Boring
Thanks for sticking with the whole process of raising the boat. Really fascinating watching it.
Would be cool if he would do an interview about what happened and if he would be willing to document the repair process.
Keep watching!
Did you see the size of him? He obviously boarded the boat, causing it to capsize.
Thank you to the owner for letting Alfred film the process. Very nice boat, happy its now above water.
I thought you handled it very well. Good job as always. That guy had a bad day. The pelican had a worse one😂😂😂

It’s very important for live well equipped boats to have a high volume bilge pump directly wired to the batteries. This guys pump either failed or lost power.
Thank you Alfred , this was amazing
Beautiful boat. If the motors are serviced right away she’ll live to cruise again.
Very good job! Think you for showing.
Now with it coming above the waterline get the flex seal guy to go under and slap some seal on the hole(haul).
Anthony, please create a shirt 👕 that says "wait for it" with your internet address and chit show 😉. Love this channel I have witness all this at various docks.
