DIRT CHEAP Abandoned Pontoon! Can I get it Running?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 жов 2024
- I bought this pontoon boat for dirt cheap, but it's got some big problems... In this video you can watch me diagnose and fix multiple issues with this outboard's carburetors and get spark back to the ignition system. This old pontoon has been sitting for over a decade, but I am commited to giving it a new life!

Omg the part about wrenches and nuts disapearing is soo relatable😂
@@gabrielgagne2004 just a phenomenon science has been unable to explain….
LOL. "It was NOT there a minute ago" 🤣
@@troywayne8759 it swear it wasn’t 🤣
Yes same here lol I know I look there
This summer I have dropped two wrenches in the lake while changing plugs and coils on my outboard motor. Boating is expensive😂
I just pop the carbs off automatically now on everything. I just put them in my ultrasonic cleaner. A little purple degreaser and something like lemishine for the dishwasher. It keeps you from getting water spots if you air dry and use tap water. The big one from Harbor Freight is amazing. I have only needed one rebuild kit since I got that. It was on a snowblower that had a crusted over choke flap. The parts were too pitted after a good cleaning. Ethanol gas just ruins stuff so fast lol.
Smart move on removing the oil injection. I had a marine mechanic that worked on boats for over 30 years tell me the same thing about failing oil injection on older units. Delete, and mix your fuel.
Great video
One video and I’m addicted. Great quality
@@NickParma2 thank you so much man 🤝
That boat in Ohio that would go for $3000 - $4000 all day, these boats are extremely expensive.
@@jeffb7255 absolutely it will! I’m for sure going to sell it and make a pretty penny but going to have some fun with it first 💯
couple things. the kill switch lanyard is not tehre, disconnect from the harness and try again. Second, any key switch in those boxes can be started with a screw driver if you just have to. The switch itself will have a two or three digit number that you can take to a dealer and get a new key. There are not very many different keys for them so there is always a chance a key you have from another similar will work. Now, for the compression. The need is not within ten percent it is 12. However you are right, it was setting so after running it for a while and some fogging spray and it may come right back. Change the waterpump impeller etc. My experience? 54 years as a marine mechanic and repair shop owner. Retired now. You do good work son, keep it up.
Spot on sir
That's a bit overreached. It's only a small engine. It's not very complicated to fix. It doesn't need 45 years of experience to make any validation that you are an expert. I am a German, also a baby boomer Deuce engines mechanic and technician. I spend my time watching UA-cam old engine rescuers. I don't preach, nor puff one's balloons. I just watched and feel happy for this new generation inspired and grow on this trade.
I just found your channel this afternoon. I'm out here in Dayton. Great to see a local YT channel doing something cool! Love being at the lake. Keep up the videos. I'll be watching.
@@collincutler2278 appreciate you!! 🤝
Good lord..as a retired marine Engineer with about half your talent I think your site is awesome. Its not just a lot of good and interesting information but you present it in a really hilarious way. Hope to see whatever girlfriend you have around to share in all your adventures. Going to watch a bunch of these son. Good job!
@@danielalvarez7726 an honor to receive a compliment like this from you sir! Thank you! And she might make it on the camera one day 🤣😉
@@BoatBusters id love to see you really fix up the pontoon boat. Do you ever do anything with electric outboards? I'm thinking a roof on that pontoon could hold a lot of solar. Probably too much $$$ involved but it would be interesting.
@@danielalvarez7726 couldn’t agree more. Beyond trolling motors I really have no experience with electric, but this is a great idea
@@BoatBusters well...your an accomplished engine mechanic and do really well troubleshooting. Solar is really basic electronics. Might be something you want to play with later. I have a old 22 ft c-dory pocket cruiser. Main engine is 90hp Yamaha. I built a bay roof on it that I'm going to put a flexible 200 watt panel on. Solar controllers are cheap and I plan on replacing my 10hp kicker with a 3hp equivalent 36 volt emotor. Made for kayaks. I do a lot of crabbing and I plan to use it to troll my trap line and also just to learn about it.
This dude deserves to have 200k+ subs forsure. Knowledgeable and entertaining 👌
@@GabrielPerez-fz4gu dude you just made my night! Hopefully one day. Till then I’m gonna keep pumping out videos doing what I love!
I watched a video from THAT BOAT GUY. He rebuilt a Party Barge and moved the helm to in front of the motor. He had a long bar top that stretched half the length of the boat and left plenty of room for seating. Looking forward to seeing how you deck this one out!
I’ve been loving your videos so far! All of the small moments of chaos that still happen to someone knowledgeable make me feel so much better about my days of chaos trying to fix an outboard for the first time this spring. I’m still a little surprised every time I get on the boat and it works now!
@@lianaraggio7935 thank you man! And yeah, there’s always chaos 😂 it’s unavoidable definitely don’t feel bad about it. Of course I cut out the parts that don’t look good (the hour I spent trying to retrieve the nut I lost)… it happens 💯
My buddy bought a 40 HP Evinrude VRO. As soon as it came home I told him to disable the VRO and run on a two-stroke mix instead. It can spare you from a costly engine failure.
Congrats about the sponsorship brother! Love the content, you deserve it bro
@@notere3342 thank you for that support man that means a lot to me!
Really have some fun with it first!

An awesome and sturdy built pontoon boat. Can't wait to see what you do with it.... Joe
Man! This is exactly what my outboard does... I haven't watched the rest of the video yet and I am on the edge of my seat!
Woo! I'm back! That celebration joy ride was epic and I am wondering what is lurking in the bowls on my carbs...
Great video I just wish this video was posted 5 years ago when I bought my first fixer-upper pontoon boat. Had the same problems and 1 cylinder had very low compression I took it to get repaired and $3500.00 latter it still wasn't right ended up getting rid of it. Anyways new subscriber to your you-tube channel and look forward to your videos. Aloha from Kansas
@@martinquintana5837 thank you so much for the sub and the kind words man, I appreciate you!! - and sorry to hear about your motor!
Great vids and info. I have rarely made money on car flips but always made good profits on boats and I enjoy working on them a lot more. My weakness is the motors so I really enjoy the detail you're putting out
Great editing, lovin your sense of humour. Thoroughly entertained!
@@mikel5992 appreciate that a lot thank you!!
Can’t wait to see what you do with this one!!!!
I have a 1958 3hp JW-14 Johnson outboard motor from my sense passed best friend. We have used this continuously over the years and put it through lots of neglect. Now that’s it’s been I trusted into my possession I’d like to restore it. I’m hoping you come across one of these small vintage outboards and make a video on it. Maybe this comment will give you some inspiration lol. Any way I like your channel and I’m interested in learning how to work on these small outboards with the help of your videos.
Had a 1991 40 hp Johnson VRO on my pontoon for 20 years & never had the 1st issue with the oil injection. Biggest issue was the tree that fell on the boat & destroyed the pontoons during Hurricane Michael. Engine still ran great. Sold it for $200 just to get it out of yard.
@@fmbbeachbum8163 shame to hear about the destroyed pontoon! And yeah, if I bought it brand new I would likely use it until I noticed issues. For me as someone who buys old used boats where I can’t really vouch for the history / maintenance record it just makes me feel better to premix and be 100% sure I’m getting good oil!
For the new UA-cam channel you explained everything so well 👍👍 keep it up 💯
Excellent work and information, thanks for sharing! Liked, subscribed and now commented. I took my harbor freight tools for granted and all of them fell into the void but my Mac and Snap On tools are magically faithful by my side.
@@Trudgewild I must admit the harbor freight tools are easier to lose… 🤣🤣 thanks so much for watching and for subscribing!!
Having owned numerous 2stroke motorcycles and mopeds for years i fully agree with you about ditching the vro and using premix. Less moving parts = less chance of failure
@@lesheath6216 you got it 💯 and people spend more time arguing with me about it than it takes to premix their tank 🤣
Great deal on that boat. I wish more people would take the time to repair rather than just throwing stuff away. Please oh please replace that odious carpet.
@@deenorunda the carpet is going to go!! 🤣
Friggin love the channel! No BS, humorous corny jokes, entertaining and educational! Also, NGL u kinda look like Josh Allen 😂
Awesome video man! I appreciate the breakdown behind your thought process on diagnosing everything
@@Hatedepot Really appreciate that!!
Awesome video and great potential with this pontoon boat. As a former auto mechanic and current small engine mechanic I can relate to the missing and reappearing tools - supernatural forces indeed. Oh, and I don't trust 2 stroke oil injectors either. Back in 1981 I owned a 1975 Yamaha RD350B - the oil injector failed while I was riding home from high school. At the time, I didn't know enough about engine repair to save the bike, so I sold it cheap to someone who wanted the parts.
@@troyyarbrough it’s a strange phenomenon indeed! Thank for watching Troy
Love the videos! This outboard doesn't have VRO though. It is called OMS (Oil Metering System). OMS, which was introduced in 1993, was known to be very reliable and if the pump did fail it over oiled by default. As long as the tank is free of water and the sock is not blocked, it will run forever. I run them on all my engines. VRO and OMS get a bad wrap from the 1st couple years of VRO (which were the only problem years). OMC then went to VRO2, which would also over oil in the event of a failure. There were bad oil injection systems out there, such as Mercury with their plastic gears, however since VRO2 OMC's systems have been very reliable. Most blame the VRO or OMS when they score a cylinder when in reality that cylinder went lean due to a dirty carb. If the VRO or OMS would have failed with a no oil condition, all cylinders would be effected as the oil is mixed before the carbs. To each their own but there are a lot of myths out there, plus if you have to replace the fuel pump I don't blame anyone for converting due to the high price of a new VRO or OMS pump.
@@EricGaskamp super interesting- you’ve earned my subscription! Thanks for sharing. Totally agree with what you’re saying- in my business of acquiring some cheap used boats to which I do not know the service history I tend to just opt to premix though… somehow helps me sleep at night 🙂
@@BoatBusters in your case I don't blame you one bit! Also thank you for the sub! When I get a "new" boat with VRO or OMS I always premix the first tank at 100:1, as a precaution, to make sure the oiler is working. That will at least save you in case the previous owner trashed the system lol. Then when i see the oil level is dropping as expected I'll go with straight gas in the tank. Keep up the good work! I always watch for your videos to come out!
@@EricGaskamp much appreciated man!!!!
I actually do Marine repair for a liiving you did a great job on the engine dude hats off ! I am in the process of restoring a 1985 Scarab performance boat I just spent over two months rebuilding the engine I put in a nasty Comp Cam it has factory thru hull exhaust I hope the engine doesnt blow up on me when I fire it up and break in he cam no matter how many engines I rebuild I am always nervous, I am videoing the restoration on my UA-cam channel it will be a while before its up . I am in my late 60s been in a huge rut for years I parked this poor thing out in the weeds in 2014 and let it rot this year its hell no no more I want to get out and start doing shit . People here in my town are cold and dont want freinds unless they can use you or mooch off of you. Got tired of boat alone and I just parked it . If everythign goes good my bucket list is to take the boat to Cerud'alene Idaho I want to boat and camp . I have never done this ever man never been there. I want this so bad I can taste it . I want to hear that nasty cam through my thru hull and blast across the lake and haul ass . I am a 21 year old in an old body I refuse to give up! Love the video man great job you scored dude! I found yoru channel by accident
@@madmanmechanic8847 thank you so much! You definitely can do it and camping is going to be awesome. Made sure I subbed to your channel so I can see it!! Cheers friend thanks for watching
Ohhhh the outboards I could’ve fixed if you were around a few years ago. I can remember each and every one I gave up on and sold cheap. Thank you for giving me hope and inspiring me to carry on!
@@dreamakennedy4099 glad to be able to help!!! Thank you for watching
Dang you got my suspense up about what your plans are. I just got a 40hp Johnson tracker that had super dirty carbs and got mine purring just like your 50. I'm officially at a pontoon with a 90 Evinrude and 16' fishing boat with 45 Merc Mariner and then the 40 tracker. Note I do all the work on all of them just like you. Love your content
@@joerubenzer6085 really appreciate that man! Definitely got some fun plans for this one coming soon 💯
Love your videos, very interesting love those outboard motors videos, quick flip
Yes the corrosion on the electrical connection looked like dry dielectric grease but I enjoy your videos keep them coming👍👍👍👍🚤🚤🚤🚤🚤
Buy a case or a few cans of blue shower to clean all electrical contact points. Removes any varnish or arching points of the electrical
Great channel mate. Excited for more videos
Thank you 🤝
Luv those old 2-strokes
Great video man! Enjoy your narration on motor repair!
@@redbyron10 much appreciated!!
I understand about losing the nut and the wrench. I have gottebn to where when I work on something, I just take the first nut off and throw it as far as I can just to get that part out of the way. Great video. Thanks.
@@skydiver6711 😂😂😂😂 great idea
Love the video. If you like to fish we would love to see you wet a line and catch some fish off the beautiful boats. Just makes the ending that much better. Keep em coming.

Awesome. Make 200 more videos like this and I will watch every one of them.
@@gsftom on the way 🫡🫡🫡
For your no spark get some blue shower contact spray and hit all your ignition points. It will clean any possible electrical carbon on the firing points needed for spark.
@@WilliamPolovina great tip appreciate it!!
Couldn't agree more on ditching the oil injection, how many times have you heard of those failing and anyway whats difficult about premixing, it takes bugger all time
just happen to find your video a few minutes ago about the YamahaB ??? and like what I seen and decided to watch more this one is also cool and decided to subscribe lol
Your tagline should be Find, Fix, Flip

Finding a boat at the right price, without big flaws is your biggest advantage imo
@@glampocro1688 you might be onto something here 🤔
Subscribed.... liking your channel ✔️
Good motor I had a 90 that had been oil pump deleted
Word up! Had to have a snack. So 3rd vid. The wind maybe,but the PP stream right near the end…looking like it’s prostrate was possibly swollen ?looked drippy.you mentioned the new impeller? But if it’s good ,it’s good.All about cleaning stuff up rather than tossing it. When possible. Im especially horrible with the electrical. Might learn it with more videos like this. Got a multi meter last year. Learning some..soo. Over & out ,capitan,for real. Good work. 😢
Not much of a challenge, now if it were a Merc or Suzuki it would be different. Junk the oil injection, mix yer gas 50:1 and that motor will last another 30 or 40 years
That boat is so cool
Nice fishing plattform, wish i had one too. What measurements does the platform have? I feel with you bout the heat, we have 65°F today and im melting since im an ancestor of snowstorm and frost😅
Cheers from Sweden.
Quick story about missing wrenches (AND PARTS) Had a huge job a few decades back where a youth group was having a summer camp. We took in their boats for complete refits and overhauls of the engines. One needed a complete rebuild. I had my crew doing the upholstery while I had the engine in the shop on the workbench. Nothing else there. Split it in half, machined the cylinders, assembled rods with .010 pistons and laid out the crank and every internal part. Turned around and that crankshaft was gone. Nobody was in the shop area but me. Everyone else was working their butts off. That crank was there and then poof...it was gone. We all looked for it. Around the buildings, everyone looked on and under that workbench and went through the shop. No place to be found. (N, NOBODY WAS MESSING WITH US).... We walked to the shop doors, everyone. still gone, you could see from the double doors everything on that damn table.... We started to do another search outside and I looked back again... it was sitting right on the table where I had laid it hours earlier... you tell me. WTH lol..... Kinda like the 1/2, 9/16 and 7/16 sockets and wrenches that just go poof and then appear someplace you swear you never went to lol.... Anyway... keep up the good stuff....
@@daddski1 that’s hilarious 🤣🤣 heard of a lot of tools disappearing but this is the first time a crankshaft has entered the void hahaha.. thanks for sharing though that’s too funny
Great videos!
Nice little Rivera Cruiser the outboard is worth what you paid for the whole package.
@@faronmastin8683 absolutely 💯 appreciate you
I'd squirt some dielectric grease, or white lithium in those electrical connections that you disconnected.
A little extra water protection.
You should do a video on how to turn a 9.9 hp motor into a 15 hp motor. With speed tests before and after. Many Yamaha 9.9 motors are the same as the 15 hp models but with a limiter in the carb system.
Cool project, when tearing apart dual carbs on an outboard, what needs to be done to keep everything in sync? My boat needs some work, I’m a little nervous I will mess something up with the carb settings.
Awesome video buddy! Keep up the good work
@@publicdefender77 thank you my friend!
I think you're spot on by disabling the oil injection. Thanks for sharing your experience. Appreciate ya
VRO systems are common fail points and usually you don't realize it until the damage is done and you're running it without oil!
@@jkalland07they don’t understand oil or no oiling when they go bad. That’s a big myth. They will over oil when they go bad.
Mercury and Yamaha both introduced mechanical oil pumps in the early 80s. Around the same time OMC did. The main difference however, is the fact that they don't randomly fail and cause the outboards to randomly blow up like OMC's injection system did. There's absolutely no reason these VRO pumps should fail like they do and absolutely no reason we should have to delete them. The 2 other major outboard companies of the time were able to make their oil pumps extremely reliable. 1984, the year OMC introduced oil injection, is the year their quality control went to absolute shit and the year that started the company's downward spiral to bankruptcy.
@@UltraMagaFan2 couldn’t agree more!
Problem… JB Weld… Completely relate 😂
Those 90s 50hp Johnsons are fantastic
@@peterjensen6844 some of my absolute favorites
I really think you should hold onto this one. Almost unlimited interesting projects you could do on a budget and shoot video for your fans. Once you make her a little more attractive id install a roof....load it with solar panels, keep a small gas outboard and install a pair of high thrust 24v trolling motors on each side of the main motor. People are wacky for e-powered boats. Probably sell it for 12k. Take it to Vegas and bet it all on red this time :-)

How would changing the spark plugs affect a no spark condition? Also you said the ignition system checked out, did you mean the starter system?
@@tonyfox1434 spark plugs are part of my standard service and always get replaced anyways no matter the condition, so that’s always the first step for me especially during a no spark situation. You just never know- I’ve had no spark be caused by a bad plug before, I like to start with what’s easy and cheap! As for my comments about the ignition system checking out- yes, haha I meant the starter. Classic case of me talking too fast 🙂
