Hey Chris! Can you make a video of something like Boat basics, how to drive/maintain a boat. The only boats I'm familiar with are the ones you row. So it would be cool to see a video of you explaining about boats!
@@chrisfished I feel people could benefit. I have a buddy who recently got a boat and he doesn't know much about trailering, maintenance, general cleaning after each use, and docking.
Not only Chris told us how to repair it yourself. He also explain how it works so we all understand. This is why Chris is the best content creator out here
Thanks a lot man! That is how I personally learn so I try to teach that way. It makes no sense to me unless I know how it works. Like when I first drove stick, if I didnt know how a clutch worked I would have never been able to drive stick haha.
@@macbook802 Scott Kilmer has some useful videos but I have seen very few videos where he actually did something besides rant, he does have a few decent explanation videos though, such as how to drive a manual, I'd already been driving manuals for years when that video came out and it seemed like something that would really help a beginner, but knowing how all the parts work would really help at least the more technically inclined people
@@chrisfished I go through the same thing haha, I need to understand the mechanics and how things work together in order to fully understand how to work things like driving a stick shift car, That is actually the only way I learned how to ride a dirtbike was to first learn the clutch on my car👍🏼
@@chrisfishedi got a Question, i Love the New content on this channel, is really something not much youtubers do, but i would want to Know What is going on with the second project car (the BMW) IT passed some time and I Am wondering, what Is doing that BMW:)
It would really be helpful if you made a series of basic repair videos for boats, just like you did with cars. I know it's a lot to ask but your videos are a really great resource, especially in a topic like boat repair where information isn't as available on the internet as information for cars
You are amazing! I have been following your auto channel for a long time and now this. I am neither a car buff nor a boat enthusiast or fisherman, but your work is so interesting and informative that I feel as if I were ever to develop a serious interest in either I would have all the knowledge I need just from your videos. You make everything look so easy that anyone could do it. You are a natural-born teacher.
Thanks a lot man! I really appreciate it and hopefully you are learning a lot. I know you say you are not a boat or car guy but you never know when you might need to fix something and now you are prepared!
I just recently bought my first boat. Theres a serious lack of boat repairing and maintenance videos on youtube, so im really happy about this new channel!!
I've been watching Chris for id say 6 or 8 years now. Never have I once skipped a video and I watched all the fishing ones which I didn't think I'd like as much as I did.
Hey Chris, because of you I went fishing at my local lake to try to catch some trout with my friends! It was a great way to get outdoors and enjoy a fun day together.
I started watching ChrisFix before buying my first car, years later the knowledge coming in handy multiple times. Now I'm here, boat-less... I guess we all know what's bound to happen!
please make more boat videos I was a car technician and love your Chris fix videos got a boat that I've been working on and would like to see more of boats. just installed some trim tabs on mine this week.
I am doing an underwater LED install and wiring video and a video on how to install a new switch panel! I am sure more stuff will have to get wired in as I go!
I love that you're using this channel to experiment with videography, like putting yourself in front of the camera. Your videos and explanations are worth their weight in gold and I have fixed countless things with your help. Keep doing you!!
You can definitely see more of Chris’s personality on this channel and it’s fun to watch. Side Note: AH Marina is my favorite spot in Jersey. I hope you have fishing trips or charters with subscribers soon.
Just wanted to say I’m absolutely loving the new channel and the new videos. I live in South Jersey and am also an avid fisherman and boater. Awesome job keep up the great videos!
Hi Chris I like this content on boat repairs. Not only have you just said do it yourself (DIY) but also explained clearly. Although I’m not into boats I enjoy all your videos. Change is a very optimistic and having Chris fix teach people to do everything is positive. I look forward to seeing the next uploads and Keep up the effort Chris.
I've been watching the Chrisfix channel for years, ironically I've recently moved to marine in terms of work, and this popped up. This is amazing and had me grinning ear to ear.
Chris, I've been watching all your videos since you started with cars and you have helped me with fixing my own car and saving money. I'm glad you are still doing what you love. I dont even have a boat but I watched this whole video. Lol. You'll always have my like and support. Keep it up!!
I don't own a boat and I've never known anyone who does, but it's still great to watch your videos because if I or my friends and family own a boat I'll atleast know a little bit about it all so that I could maybe even help out a little
I’m so glad you’re making fishing and boat videos. I’m actually going to be going to school for marine technology soon. I really enjoy fishing and ice fishing.
I’ve been watching Chrisfix for the past 6 years. I here’s to another 6 years watching chrisfix and Chrisfish. Excited to see perhaps some similar concepts from Chris fix over here
@@chrisfished of course my brother. At the end we ow it all to you. For making a rant day sunny, informing us and providing us great and useful content. It’s awesome to see your much deserved growth.
omfg as soon as I heard your voice I was like "no way, that guy sounds like ChrisFix!" and then I heard the channel name and nearly lost it. You're the reason I can work on cars and now I have a project boat. Immediately followed.

Hey everyone, I don't even fish but I came over here to support Chris. New subscriber and can't wait for a new content maybe I'll learn something that I didn't know that I needed to know.
Haha, it's the new bluetooth outdrive :P And yea I have been messing with some specialized cameras to get some cool shots. I feel like the cool shots to help me explain stuff is important!
Well Chris I have to say, I've watched your other channel for a long time as I love working on vehicles and now you've gone into my favorite hobby. Look forward to seeing you catch some more fish! Thank you for helping us out!
Thanks for your new channel, and all you hard work. I even went back 7 years to learn how to filet fish from you, video I had skipped previously :D. About this video, even guessing that it'll probably wash out in a day or two I wouldn't be able to resist applying a ton of heavy duty grease to the joint before installing, I mostly work with bicycles (and wood) and have almost no experience with boats (besides brushing decks and filling cracks with glass fiber).
Thanks a lot man! Haha I was going to add grease but like you said, at the end of the day, its going to wash away the first time it goes in the water. Hopefully you learn something new with boats by watching!
As a fellow boat driver from NJ, a fun video could be explaining channels. Since I've moved to Michigan, there aren't any channels because most things are small lakes or the great lake which has a huge depth. I tell people about the channels we have to drive through in NJ and they look at me like I have two heads haha
It would be awesome to watch you buy and old bass boat and fix it up! I just bought an old ‘81 Terry Bass Boat for cheap and I’m slowly doing upgrades and I’d love to follow along with you on a similar build!
Hey chris i go fishing a lot in the nile and i actually got that problem and sadly all the trim tabs are sold out here in sudan and thank god you made this video im actually gonna do what you just did and i hope it works and my boat will be in good shape again. God bless you chris
I must say I’m excited for this channel man. Marine fixes are not like automotive there is not a manual for everything and much of what you do is finding an out of the box original solution to get a repair that you feel confident in. Keep it up man…part of me wishes you had an outboard so I could see the fixes in that but I’m hoping one day to upgrade to a boat like yours instead of my 20ft center 😂
Hey Chris! I’ve watched your channel for such a long time I know you always know exactly what you’re talking about and can be a reliable source. I live somewhere where I’m not able to fish that often, and I’d be interested in a video on just how the boat work, all you’re equipment and how that works, or even basics on driving a boat/fishing. I think that’d be an interesting video(s) that maybe some other people would be interested in too.
Wow great job saving the money and doing the repair yourself. It’s great to maintain your own stuff. Only question I have for this job is should it be a tight fit and should that rod be lubricated first?
Thanks! It’s only a tight fit on the ends which don’t move (hard mounted to the boat). The holes in the trim tab move and the water is the lubricant. Any oil/grease will come right off in no time from the water pressure. Great questions
Thanks a lot Richard. Those holes the screws are in are below the water line and its just a lot a lot easier and less risky to not touch it if you dont have to. Nothing might happen or it could snap or it could cause water intrusion issues. Great question!
I love the idea of this channel chris Amazing content as ALWAYS Hope to see more repairs video like that, why not try the restoration of an old boat, or as the drifttang do a powerboat ? Greetings from france !
Nice video great repair but even better narrating thanks !!! I have a similar issue on the engine hinge. It’s broken - thanks for motivating and good instructional video
Great Video! How about some good quality videos on I/O maintenance, repairs (bellows, cables, etc)? Love your Chrisfix videos, I'm sure a boat maintenance series would be a big hit! Great work!
Love the videos. Chris can you make video on how to get started on fishing and so on. Would be a great way to learn specially since you are so detailed about it
Great video Chris!! Take care man! Keep up the good work. I can see the time and effort you put into your videos, the same can't be said for others out there. Merry Christmas Chris!!
Where I work, we usually sand the the trim tabs with a 40-80 grit before painting. It makes it smoother, cleaner, and better for the paint to stick on.
I love seeing how you apply learnings from the first pin to improve your method for the second! Did the tape pull off some paint, or is that adhesive residue?
It pulled off paint. I realized the marina painted the boat only a week ago and since this is anti-fouling paint it is designed to come off so barnacles and other sea life wont stick to it.
Hey Chris nice video! I just replace my trim tabs on my 24 Grady white explorer. God are they expensive 🤣🤣🤣 Everyone who owns a boat knows the saying the two best days of owning a boat is the day you buy it, and the day you sell it 😂😂😂 Fair winds and following seas brother! SUBBED!
I gotta say man i can see a lot of people watching your videos even on a topic they don’t know or care about. Your so good at teaching and a lot of skills used here are transferable to other things in life that it’s still educational
Thanks Shawn. The cool thing is it works the same way for you guys. I’m sure most people won’t be repairing a trim tab but when something breaks like this, it trains your brain to think of a solution instead of the $350 new part to swap in.
@@chrisfished I look forward to it, and I also look forward to future car repairs. If i may make a request, how to replace a headlight housing/wiring assembly. I also want to thank you for being the first person who opened my eyes to the wonders of car repair.
Dang Chris! Outta left field with the early post! Edit: Good lord! I see why he uploaded at this time! It’s like a ChrisFix after dark! Satisfying rod insertion?! Using a wedge to spread them apart!?! Lord have mercy I’m bout to buss 🥵🥵
Hey there, just wondering what kind of boat that is, I’m used to seeing offshore fishing boats in Florida with outboards and have never really seen an inboard like that

Glad to hear that! Thanks a lot!
You re the ultimate diy guru with awesome videography
Thanks Colin!
I'm not into fishing or boating but I do enjoy watching you do this stuff. Why would you not remove the factory screws on your trim tabs?
Thanks a lot Richard. Those holes the screws are in are below the water line and its just a lot a lot easier and less risky to not touch it if you dont have to. Nothing might happen or it could snap or it could cause water intrusion issues. Great question!

Hey Chris you should make a video on how to winterize a outboard motor
Next Fall season for sure! This season everything is all winterized already.

Thanks Shawn. The cool thing is it works the same way for you guys. I’m sure most people won’t be repairing a trim tab but when something breaks like this, it trains your brain to think of a solution instead of the $350 new part to swap in.
He is a man with many talents
Chris has officially become someone's dad. Boating, car repair, now we just need camping videos and diy home repair
This channel I will do some other stuff like home repair and cooking and stuff I cant get away with on ChrisFix haha
@@chrisfished I look forward to it, and I also look forward to future car repairs. If i may make a request, how to replace a headlight housing/wiring assembly. I also want to thank you for being the first person who opened my eyes to the wonders of car repair.
Can’t wait to be able to take apart and put a boat back together after a few years on this channel and still not own a boat! lol
Haha that is the goal! You guys are going to love the mish-mash of fishing and DIY repair videos!
I alsways thought trim tabs were used for breaking, like airplaines biggen their wings to get more surface area to lose speed
Keep doing boat DIY vids Chris!
Friday is the next boat DIY on repairing a hole on your boat.
Dang Chris! Outta left field with the early post!
Edit: Good lord! I see why he uploaded at this time! It’s like a ChrisFix after dark! Satisfying rod insertion?! Using a wedge to spread them apart!?! Lord have mercy I’m bout to buss 🥵🥵
This new channel is awesome
Thanks Chris
Hey there, just wondering what kind of boat that is, I’m used to seeing offshore fishing boats in Florida with outboards and have never really seen an inboard like that
It is called a True World Marine TE28 and it has a diesel engine. I will make a video all about it.
Great job! Did you sand the metal plates before painting?
I gave it a quick scuff!
Chris has never said “wooder” in a video so much until he made this channel
hahaha truth
Can you please make a video showing us how to replace the trim tab actuators and blades? That'd be great, thank you. Greetings from Florida!
Great suggestion! If I end up needing to replace them I will definitely make a video!
@@chrisfished do you plan on making a video on replacing a bilge pump and float switch? I could use a tutorial on that for my boat..
That's a really nice looking boat!
Thanks I’ll do a review on it this spring/summer
