It's hard to get motivated to change the oil in my truck, and this guy got 8 outboards running... FML...
Well, I've changed oil in ev'ry major brand of truck and car. Main thing is... You get some ramps. Do it in the morning. And, while it's draining, find summin else to do. I like working on my own stuff. Garages and shops are a rip off. And, they damage your vehicle by schemes and scams. I know I did it right, but you don't know if they did...
how do i get a hold of this boat guy?
i was like him when i was 18yrs old , getting old is a bitch. your probably alot older than him.
Nothing but profit right there bro . Respect !
@@stevekeeling8577 .. Someone said he had his contact info in the description. I don't know. I'd have to go check...
I’m not a mechanic but I enjoy watching you working on motors, you make it look so easy.
I would definitely buy a engine from the boat guy, seems like he really knows his stuff!
Yea. You could be confident you're getting a good engine!
I agree, love watching this guy, learning a lot and it is sooo relaxing.
Unless it’s the Yamaha from the Torcher test
Not really. I know its old video but its retared some of the stuff he does like messing with carbs when the motor is on 45 degree angle rather than flat(90) and he seams to do carb last not first. No point in changing the coils if the carb is still an issue. I only saw a few but he does many questionable things in an weird order
It would be awesome if you included the purchase and sale prices for the motors you fix. Very entertaining videos.
no kidding I wonder where he's buying from because I'm about to create 100HP using to 50HP motors after watching this.
That’s what I was thinking too. Lol
Can't I get a boat engine for my birthday July 8th
Can't I get the 15 Yamaha
If you are going to send a Yamaha 15 you are going to send it in Trinidad
Not many honest mechanics like you around anymore. I don’t own a boat yet and I can’t wait till I do.
I’m from Melbourne Australia and I love watching and learning from your work. 👍🇦🇺🇺🇸
Great work and greatings from Norway. Love the way you rebuild and restore the outboards with many reliable years of services left in them.
And you are doing more for the environment than the self entitled envirolists ever would manage to do.
Love these vlogs, maybe do a in-depth rebuild on the power head that locked up.
Keep up the good work and stay blessed brother 🤙🏾🤙🏾
Sees a dirty corroded screw sticking out of the ground, wait a second that’s a perfect Yamaha 25. Just gotta dig it up and turn the majigger it’ll be just like new.
lol
Love looking at you fiddling with the boat motors, being a mechanic and boat lover its very satisfying to watch.
I'm planning on rebuilding a flats boat and when I need an engine I'll go to you since you're so local.
What state are you guys in? I'm new here, just trying to learn how to fix up my motor. It's full of mud daubers and stinkbugs!
@@amadosanchez7483 they are in the Tampa/st pete area of FL
Clearly you enjoy what you do. You mention work, don't think for you it's work. Your patience is telling. I don't own a boat or motor yet I enjoy watching your videos.
You have to be one of the best one handed mechanics out there! 😂
Love the vids, and I really look forward to seeing some more of your boat restoration projects.
I learned a lot with helping my Dad as a kid work on stuff like this. Pretty much everything on my outboard has been tinkered by myself and it feels great! Enjoy these and mostly the boat renovations
Love these kind of videos give me motivated to work on my own boat
Yea for real
But I'm going to try do you have any contact info I would like to get one of the motors where you have the for sale
You should star your own outboard motor business and for what i see you are a honest person and need people like you
Me when my outboard locks up: "ah damn, now i gotta go find a new outboard on Craigslist or something"
This guy: "I have a replacement powerhead, so it doesn't matter"
You are not only good... you are thorough... hard to find these days.
Best video I’ve seen you do so far! Really like the outboard stuff. If you would do more slowed down how too videos on all this stuff this channel would be fire!
11:38 notice his phone went off right when he tapped it
The best outboard motor how to videos out there. Always well made and full of how to information.
Why no love for the Johnson ? Omc made great engines
They tend to be problemmakers
Hey I got about 7 old Johnson EVINRUDE outboard motors most mostly from the 1950's all run great thanks to my mechanic skills.
Highly depends on many things, especially how it was treated. they sold alot more OMC motors than Yamaha back in the day, so more chances of ones being out there that were neglected and blamed on the brand
@@scottjohnson1364 the powder is the way to get them running good Johnson and everude
The mercury 15 gets me through the rivers. Beautiful motor. Thank you making these videos. It's helpful.
My dad would know all about them because he works for a Mercury boat shop and all other engines Mercury is a very good engine type and my dada know a lot about Mercury he as a 32 foot boat there is two engines the both have a 450 engine outboards. Love your videos ♥️
Man I’d love to spend a week learning with you! Freaking hands of a surgeon!
If you don’t know the history of a marine engine, assume that the impeller is bad. Cheap easy insurance to do it yourself every two years. Number one reason for a boat ride cut short is loss of cooling.
You are a great teacher. Really enjoy your videos. It looks like you have fun putting all these boats on the water. I would love it.
You seem to always have fun doing this. Like they say, if you enjoy and have fun doing this, you never work a day in your life.
ToyManFlyer1100 Everyone has been asking the same for years. But if your primary purpose on UA-cam is to entertain us while running a business I wouldn’t expect Eric to revel his purchase prices.
Info for the first mercury: i think you can actually use normal earmuffs, as long as you put the water intake side on the inlet side and probably remove the prop
Just bought a project boat will need this channel 😄
The second motor sounds like it's running kind of rough.
Benji Gans that’s just how them older 2 strokes sound it’s like a early 90s model
They gallop like that because they run rich at idle...can't really do much about it.
Jake Bucknall, I know how they’re supposed to sound. On my previous boat I had twin 2001 Yamaha Saltwater Series 2 stroke ox66 engines rated at 150 horsepower each. Those ran buttery smooth all the time. Also I’ve seen him fix lots of small outboard engines that ran buttery smooth after all systems were good.
@@benjigans1419 Yes, I don't doubt that, but that model of Merc 25 that was built between 1986 and 2002 that has a 24.4ci displacement and a WMC carb...they run like that. That engine is not at all related to the Johnson 25 in this video or the Yamaha 25s either. And they for sure share nothing in common with OX66 yamahas (those are EFI v6 engines). Sure, the other engines here run smooth and the Merc gallops...there in sonthing wrong with that. When they sold brand new they gallop. That is how they are! (just FYI...I wouldn't be starting a comment saying you know how they are supposed to sound unless youve worked on that engine personally)
Benji Gans you don’t have to act like you know everything when you don’t, you’re comparing a 150HP motor to a 25HP 😂 I don’t care what you’ve had on your motor the older Mercs always had a grunty idle.
I always learn something new when I watch you pull these engines apart. Keep the videos coming.
I’d love to buy one of those 25 hp Yamahas
Everyone wants the older 25 horse yamaha because you can put 40 horse parts on it and FLY
Fantastic video. you certainly know your way around an outboard motor. love watching your channel. Steve from England.
Yeah i really like the work on the outboards, i only wish that i knew all about them myself.
Dude, you are the boat and motor whisperer
That 40hp Merc would compliment a nice little whaler
I’ve been lookin for a used 40 for a while they’re so hard to come by
You getting that old 25 merc running brought back memories. Dad used to have one a little older. Worked on it for years.
great motors lots of torque. i have a 1982 18hp that runs so sweet. getting hard to find now!
A Shore yep. I have a 78 9.8 and parts are getting harder to find for it as well. My friend has the 18 also.
I would love to live in Florida for a few months so I could catch some of these deals. Boats and outboard motors of any size are like GOLD in my state!
It shows you guy’s you can do a lot of maintenance on your outboard engine with out pay to some one
Thanks for showing us 👍
Thing about a outboard is they all seem to run good out of the water. As soon as you put them in the water (apply back pressure) they run alot different plus those 2 stroke mercs can have bad exhaust cover leaks that leak into the cylinders. Been working on Merc outboards for years as a certified tech and I can say they are awsome engines.
sell me one of those 25 motor im in orlando
Fresh water is worth fixing
Get an old 275 gallon oil tank use saw z all cut top to make a test tank to run motors at full power.
I had one could run 235 hp full speed it had grids in water to keep water down.
Test tank on wheels to roll around.
Nice work Thanks.
Where Can People Buy Your Motors. You Are The Best That Ever Did It !!!
Hey bro I would love to buy that 15 from you
I love the channel also
He's got that motor listed on Craigslist - Boats Parts for Tampa
I used to have a 1980 Evinrude 7.5, that motor ran like a dream
First!
Oh boy! I wish I was as knowledgeable with engines as you!
I have a 1968 Johnson 9.9 that has been in the family since new never had any major problems with it the carb has never been removed and the engine has never been rebuilt . Can't kill it we got our money's worth out of it for sure
Have same model 15 hp. Just had it repaired, can't wait to try it out
Man, nice but do you ever put one of these motors on a boat to see how they perform under load !
i love the 8 to 50 hp 0utboard motor vids
Please keep doing outboard repairs ! A good welder can fix that busted cavitation plate. What do you use to clean "under the hood" ?
On the Yamaha 25s, what is the cable from under the recoil start go to on the engine ?
Is it worth rebuilding that power head that was locked up ?
nice motors eric! I have a nice nissan mid 90's 5 hp. 2 stroke short shaft im going to be putting a new waterpump in so i can use it as a kicker this summer on Lake Michigan. My older brother gave me a Evinrude 40hp. VRO 2 stroke. And i took off the lower unit today. Much different than my 1995 Johnson 30hp 2 stroke where the shift shaft disconnects. I had to take off the starter motor to access the bolt underneath the engine block as opposed to the Johnson that you disconnect when you take off the screens on the lower unit.
I love those old Mercury motors they are epic the 25 in this vid I absolutely loves that engine
Huh
Great info. Motor work today was very informative. Good job with the dialog too.
Great vid keep it coming love those yams you make it look easy. Can you do a vid of a pig engine one where lots of bolts may snap and how you deal with the problem. All your engines seem to be well purchased through skill but is not real life for us guys who don’t know better thanks 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank You! Had a great time watching this video. Personally, I like your videos best when you work on a bunch of motors at a time. Do you also work on larger horsepower motors? Probably not the same time-to-profit ratio, but interesting none the less. Peace.
They all look good and serviceable
Keep working on them!! Maybe do some more 3cyl stuff. 40’s and 25’s
He lives in florida and gets his stuff from auction and stuff like craglist and marketplace
Whatever camera you're using to film this video is superb. Amazing quality.
Gopro 7
@@ThatBoatGuy GoPro 7 is really impressive. Keep those videos coming. Good job👍
Great motors I had a 15 Mercury just like that I had sold it for six hundred bucks that motor ran on my boat for years. Love your videos I live in Orlando FL and work on older outboard motors too ..! Love your videos keep up the great work .👍
Scott Johnson.... $600? Someone got a steal of a deal
Ya it was a sail boat motor it had a 25 inch shaft on it great motor I needed the money and went to a good home 👍👌
I see that most the work here is on the carburetors. I use to sell Chinese motorcycles I would import & this is giving me flashbacks of the myriad of carb issues I had. I use to love them, now I cant stand carburetors, I will take fuel injection any time. I have no idea why I'm watching boat engine vidoes lol, I doubt I'll be buying a boat anytime soon lol.
Buen trabajo amigo los motores Johnson y evinrude dos tiempos es lo mejor que hay su sonido lo duros que son y su poco mantenimiento debería de seguir fabricándose son muy buenos de lo mejor que hay 👍👌 saludos desde España
I'd love to be your neighbor because I'd get to hear all these mint outboard cold starts 👌 love the video
I first started watching your videos to learn how to clean the carburetor on my outboard, but now I watch them for entertainment lol
Yes, I'm amazed. Pretty nice loose change pickup ya got going on there!
Keep up the great video-ing.
I always learn a lot from your videos, thanks for that and keep-em coming.
I sure wish I had the money for that little 15 hp, and you were here local. Great work on these.
Hats off friend for what you did there and thank you again my friend for showing us all this stuff
, stay safe and next video, Moh from Algiers.
Good stuff Eric what ever vids you make will be good boats or motors so long as they are more than 20 min long im happy 🇦🇺
Love the engine repair videos. I love seeing your stuff on the local florida facebook marketplace too
The best mechanic I’ve ever seen
thanks toyman flyer for the shout back
This video is why I subscribed, great video to learn how to fix and service outboards
ThatBoatGuy how difficult is it to change the bearing carrier on a 1997 75hp mercury force outboard engine. Is it as simple as removing the propeller and the bearing then reinstalling? asking for a friend ;)
Like how you demystify these motors, I'm in Detroit area and am mechanically inclined, but, not so much with marine stuff.
I like the way you fix outboard engines!!!
I appreciate your work on them but I would like to see more details on the things that you are working on like rebuilt rebuilding the carburetor
Awesome!! I’d love to see more of these!! Maybe some big motors too!!
Great video learned a lot about how to repair small outboard motors.
This guy is an outboard genius. Subbed!
Love your work Eric !
I really enjoy your videos I would like to see you here I need to loud replace cylinder i’m trying to learn a little thank you so much for sharing you help a bunch Us out thank you for sharing
man, you are good at what you're doing.
U must have some nice neighbors ! Anyone ever complain about the noise ?
the 2strokes typically run better when they are in the water because of the resistance in the exaust, makes them harder to start tho
I like watching anything that you work on
Really like your channel.. You should do more video for beginners like me you know step by step 👍
Thanks again for taking the time to educate us!
Excellent Trouble Shooting.
Love your videos. Please, please figure out some sort of hands free camera device or have someone help you. I think your videos would improve sooo much.
But..... if you can’t.... rock on. I’d rather have this than nothing
Nice deal. I need a short shaft 25 or 30.
Those merc 15’s are awesome motors
Nice work love your truck
The camra is great;) is this Gopro?
Super entertaining stuff man really enjoyed it!
I'm like so amazing how this guy always has like parts on hand
“I have a spare power head sitting right here”
Lol
Please make more boat restoration videos I love them :)
Iv got a outboard engine. Iv never owned one before so have no clue what so ever on how to start it. Stuck it in water like that and tried and just pulls and pulls 😂 iv not checked spark yet but compression is great. Just been left laying in my garden for months now :(
