Thats a 6HP mid 70's Jounson/Evinrude outboard. I am local to you, have access to parts and tons of experience with these if you want any insight ot assistance. That gearcase unbolts from the bottom of the hull and is quite easy to service and rebuild.
Good for you reaching out to Mustie... As you have said the lower unit needs to come off the hull to fully assess the issue... The drive line seems to have been under some strain & developed some end float & possibly dropped away from the powerhead drive.
A proper OMC fuel tank would class it up, too. The "shear pin" Mustie pulled out appeared to be a nail, which might explain the condition of the lower unit.
Michael - is there a chance of you having a walk-on part in the next speedboat video - assisting Mustie1 - that would be awesome! Otherwise let’s hope he sees these comments and reaches out to you for information. Do you have any sketches/diagrams/manual PDFs that you can send him?
Brian is such a good buddy for all of your adventures. True friends are hard to come by these days, especially those who will dive into a lake fully clothed to keep you dry.
@@indydriver80 Jumping into the lake was cool and all but if Sammy Hagar was going to the lake with me I would expect him to bring the "WOOW OOH BEAU-TI-FUL GIRLS"!
Hey Mustie1, Thank you, you have taught me enough over the last three years that I am now comfortably cleaning carbies and setting mixtures and idle speeds. I appreciate your knowledge, friendly chatter and videography.
Cotter pin is the pin that holds a bicycle pedal crank onto the shaft on older bikes. It’s a solid pin with a thread on one end and it’s secured in place with a nut. The fixing pin you’re describing is a split pin as that describes its design - pushed through the shaft and then the ends bent to secure it.
Really enjoyed the "ride out" follow along video, nice addition to the normal repair talk. Neat project. Anything involving boats is always tougher than normal projects.
Someone who commented on the previous video about it wrote that he used to have a bunch of them and rented them by the hour back in the 60's or 70's. Can't remember exactly, but the comment is still there if you are interested. Apparently they were not all that uncommon back then.
This so reminds me of my time as a kid always working to make a small 2 hp and larger 16 hp Champion outboard motors to run for our camping trips. Oh the many failures we ran into and the crazy solutions to make things work with little to no budget. After many failures, when a success happened the joy was uncontrollable. You make me realize how lucky I was to have experience with broken outboards in my childhood.
Pray your on the mend Darren, health-wise. Thanks so much for the videos and hope you continue to be abundantly blessed. Take care. John here, photographing the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee.
I had one of those boats 30 years ago. I believe it was called a hydromite. Just had a Johnson power head with a shortened shaft standard lower unit equipped with a thrust ring. Mine had the fuel tank built into the back of the seat. It was fairly slow but fun to run around as long as you were mindful of the depth. I think tearing the bottom out of these was a common point of failure. Power head upgrades are a definitely a possibility as long as the hull is reinforced around the mount. Keep up the great videos
So nice to see a couple of boys playing together in the water! Great project and nice to see the follow-up. Looking forward to the next one if there will be one. Hey, at least it didn’t sink!
I use a tiller for a gas tank cleaner and it actually works really good, you can vary the speed that it spins, you can just strap the tank right to the tiller blade or you could replace the tiller Blade with a lawn mower wheel.
That trip to the lake, and Mustie sitting out on the lake with the engine revving and the Wild Thing not moving, was just precious! I was laughing my ass off. But I have nothing but respect for the valiant effort!
Hi D. The lake is really a beautiful place!! It’s great that you have Brian(hope I spelled it right) to help!! He is an awesome guy!! Love the video!!! Too bad about the drive, but it sure was a lot of fun seeing the repairs!! Thanks again for all of your hard work!!! Looking forward to next week (as usual). Darren 😊😊😊😊😊
Take advantage of the offer one of your commenters made about fixing that lower unit. He was absolutely correct about what the lower unit is. The power head ( engine) is the same, it’s a 70s 6hp Johnson or Evinrude.
Ty-Rap are still around, and they still have the metal tab in them. They're owned by ABB nowadays. We use them at work, probably tens of thousands per year. They're still definetly the best you can get. They have this "gun" for them too, which will tighten them to a specified setting and flush-cut the excess
To pull the spring into the groove (or hold motor brushes off the commutator) use waxed dental floss. It can be pulled out of a tiny little crack or hole and its strong enough to pull hard on springs. 😊
You need to find a paint shaker. We used a paint Shaker and limestone screenings to clean the insides of tanks and it does a magnificent job. It's really loud!
Greetings from southern Ontario Canada definitely a boat I couldn't get into I'm 6'4 so nice to watch whenever it gets sea worthy thanks for giving it your best shot at this barn find & as you mentioned at the end of the video it was abandoned for a good reason that's why I like seafleas
Of all the things I've ever used to help remove rust in a tank.. evaporust is absolutely 1000% the best. And you can just re-use it as many times as you want. The stuff is impressive. Totally worth the 35 bucks a jug. It lasts forever.
Mustie always finds the weirdest and coolest things to play with got home from work at 4am CA time, yeah gonna be awake for a bit lol, poor crusty was getting beat up on that road!
It was nice to see Brian show up in this one. That's a good friend of yours Darren and I'm glad you guys got to go spend the afternoon out on your lake. Nice.
Hey mustie uk calling 😂 I recall as a kid, shown how to look after pushbike. On the pedal assembly, the part that held the pedal arm to the crank, was named as a cotter pin. Which was around (oops) 12mm and tappered down to say around 8mm t'other end. With a threaded section, to accomodate a nut. Tapped home tight when assembled and the nut held it tight. Basically, held the peddle arm in place. Whrre as a split pin was used in many different veriations for light weight applications. Like a go kart sterring wheel or a kids play pushchair to carry dolls in etc.. Other applications i can recall reading up on were the crown nut that used a split pin to hold nut in place, due to vibration. Then lets just add to pins 😂 a collection , the rolled pin. Round tubed steel, a slot and spring loaded to hold em in place.
The ride you mentioned was the “spindletop” There was one at Six Flags Over Texas. I remember riding it ONCE in the late sixties early seventies. Kids would tell stories like “if you throw up, the puke with cover your face because of centrifugal force 🤢🤮😂 Thank GOD I never found out.
As always a great adventure, I loved it! Well done lads, I never saw a little boat like that before. Sorry it didn’t work out but for entertainment value, 100%! 😂
Darren it's not really a FAIL it's just not your boat to spend time removing, repairing the engine. If it was yours I am sure you would invest more time and money into it. I just love that lakeside abode. It's so beautiful and fish as well, what a bonus.
The outro brings back memories of following VW vans and utes along some rough old trails years ago. If you owned the mini boat I'm sure you would find a way to graft another drive unit to it. Thanks great content as always. Dazza from Australia
I would love to see you drive this boat, hope the guy offering help who lives near you can help out from the comment section. You always make me laugh, and i love how you just tear into everything. I'm probably one of ten woman viewer's, but at 53 i still wrench when i can because of the progressive MS that's causing severe muscle wasting on my entire left side. I just want to keep what i have left, and try to strengthen it, and avoid the wheel chair. People like you help motivate me to keep moving. G-d bless you and your wife and family.
I can see Derik at Vice Grip Garage, getting an old cougar for a revival, finding zip ties on the motor mount and asking, "Have I worked on this before?"
One of my racing friends worked as a jet engine technician at an airbase, and one day I asked him if he could get some good quality zip ties because the ones we bought at Home Depot were really lousy- about 1 out of 10 would break the first time and they didn't last long in the heat. So he brought a bunch out to the track from the air base, and they were the same junk we got at Home Depot.
I remember buying several packages of zip ties only to discover that taking a bunch and bending them about halt would break in my hand. The store took them back and said it was because they were to old and shouldn't have been sold. But if they get that bad over a few years in storage then I don't want to use that crap even if I get factory fresh ones. It's only a sign that they will fail within a few years.
Just as a thought, my wife had one of those stand on vibrating plates and it wobbled all the blubber in the hopes that friction burned it off..... One of those would be perfect for a fuel tank cleaner as it's not rotational it changes to semi random directions and speeds so perhaps one of those cheap from your local online secondhand market place could be stripped back to leave a good sized platform (that you stood on) that fuel tanks could be strapped to with small nuts and ball bearings or even just small size gravel I bet that would clean anything up better than a tumbler especially if you only wanted to be cleaning the base of a tank and not damage the sides. Thanks for all your shares, most entertaining indeed
you made it past the lily pads, thats a win :)). Plus we had a rescue by a Marine and Crusty off roading 👍....was that a Mercedes following you on the trail😦?!?
Wow that is a real cottage road. It reminds me of the road into our cottage when my grandfather used to have his VW pickup. Those boats won't even get up on plane. Like all the gimmicks from those days, they looked cool, but didn't go worth a crap. I think I saw someone on another channel getting one going.
You getting in that boat was the best Herman munster impression I've ever seen hahahahahaha 😆 🤣 😂 😅 😄 😜 😆 lol! Just needed the music Herman mustie and cousin itt lol!
What a great display of middle aged jackassery!!. This was a great episode......and we got to see Sammy Hagar take a swim in a Mustie infested tranquil lake! Love it.
@@ricdintino9502 I think Mustie will eventually fix the gear box or replace it. It was a letdown finding the problem after hauling the boat to the lake
I was laughing my ass off when you were trying to ride it into the water! That ride on the "road" to your cabin makes me anxious EVERY time!!! Need to start a GoFundMe to build a better road!! 😀
Imagine never trying it out on the lake, but having everything working well in the shop. You then return the boat to its owner…he’s all excited to have it running, brings it out to his lake (or maybe gives it to his kid to try) and boom. Stranded. Far better that this happened now, before you returned it as ‘fixed’….:)
🤣 Sammy Hagar. They do look dang near alike. Especially when Sammy was in his younger days. Mas Tequila!!!! Also had a buddy of mine launch his John boat with a 25 horse on it. He put the plug in from the outside. About half way down the river boat start taking on water, plug came out. 😂. Luckily we weren’t to far from the boat ramp, the boat was brand new and he almost sunk it.
Hey Darren, I think that " W " in Wild Thing may have been installed upside down, it should read Mild Thing, ha ha ha , still what a lot of fun and informative. cheers buddy, take care and stay safe. 👍
in the uk we have cotter and split pins, the one you used was a split pin, the cotter pins are solid with a small hole through the end for an 'R' clip the pass through it to keep it in place, like some axle stands have or those folding engine cranes have on the legs
Apologies, Mustie. I had to laugh when you were sitting, revving that engine and quickly going nowhere at all. Hope you get to enjoy it sooner than later.
Thats a 6HP mid 70's Jounson/Evinrude outboard. I am local to you, have access to parts and tons of experience with these if you want any insight ot assistance. That gearcase unbolts from the bottom of the hull and is quite easy to service and rebuild.
Good for you reaching out to Mustie...
As you have said the lower unit needs to come off the hull to fully assess the issue...
The drive line seems to have been under some strain & developed some end float & possibly dropped away from the powerhead drive.
A proper OMC fuel tank would class it up, too. The "shear pin" Mustie pulled out appeared to be a nail, which might explain the condition of the lower unit.
We need to pump this comment up to the top so Mustie1 can see it and not get lost among the rest of them here.
Michael - is there a chance of you having a walk-on part in the next speedboat video - assisting Mustie1 - that would be awesome!
Otherwise let’s hope he sees these comments and reaches out to you for information.
Do you have any sketches/diagrams/manual PDFs that you can send him?
Mustie will sense this comment as he is the clairvoyant of repair
I really enjoyed watching you actually use Crusty and not treat it like a lifted F250 pavement princess.

Brian is such a good buddy for all of your adventures. True friends are hard to come by these days, especially those who will dive into a lake fully clothed to keep you dry.
Brian has been there to help many times.
That is a good friend and a true Marine that swims out into the lake to pull you back to shore.
I believe Brian is Darren's son?
@@V8SKULLS You would be incorrect believing that.
Especially after Mustie put that dirty fuel in Brian's gas tank.😂😂
LOL!

Thanks for sharing your skill and knowledge with us . Awesome and outstanding content as always.
I would never had guessed a Volkswagen would be off road capable. Absolutely amazing.
Ha! I took my 86 transam down a small embankment, across a stream, and back up the other side. It didn't like it, but made it without any real damage.
World War II proved their capabilities off-road well
I definitely coped well, far better than 'the ultimate off-road truck' does.
Love seeing Crusty, out doing some work, in the woods. No fun just letting them set. Thanks for another great video.
For some people the entire video would be about taking Crusty down the trail. Sorry for the drive gear fail. Would've been a great water scooter.
Hey Mustie1, Thank you, you have taught me enough over the last three years that I am now comfortably cleaning carbies and setting mixtures and idle speeds. I appreciate your knowledge, friendly chatter and videography.

Looked like fun even if it didn't go,well, looked like a great drive, beautiful weather, thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones
That took me back to 1978 riding through the trails in my friends VW Bus. I still have a smile on my face! Crazy kids.
Anyone else remember a Mustie video from years ago, when he went out on the lake with his wife, ran out of gas, but had forgotten to bring an oar???

A 12 volt wiper motor with a hobby train controler for cleaning tanks. Or a rock polisher. You're a clever man, Mustie.. 😊
Exactly
He used to just jack up the rear end his truck, strap the item to the wheel, fire up the truck and let it run in low gear.
Variable speed portable concrete mixer.
Those gas cans are terne plated steel, which is a tin coating. Nice vid, Darren.
South Africa is in the house too

Excellent video Mustie 1 :) and neat boat to try out sometime also remember them too from my childhood years of 1976 to 1994!
Thanks for the shop time Mustie1, and the adventure!
Love the invention for cleaning gas tank, thought the dry run would produce some rust, but came out clean, lol
Darren it's not really a FAIL it's just not your boat to spend time removing, repairing the engine. If it was yours I am sure you would invest more time and money into it. I just love that lakeside abode. It's so beautiful and fish as well, what a bonus.

Now i want an episode of offroadin with Crusty!
It's good to see Sammy again.
One of my racing friends worked as a jet engine technician at an airbase, and one day I asked him if he could get some good quality zip ties because the ones we bought at Home Depot were really lousy- about 1 out of 10 would break the first time and they didn't last long in the heat. So he brought a bunch out to the track from the air base, and they were the same junk we got at Home Depot.
I remember buying several packages of zip ties only to discover that taking a bunch and bending them about halt would break in my hand.

But if they get that bad over a few years in storage then I don't want to use that crap even if I get factory fresh ones. It's only a sign that they will fail within a few years.
I love it when you off road crusty!! So capable 🎉
The shaft on the lower unit is splined. Unbolt it from the bottom of the boat and the whole lower unit will pull off. Make it easier to work on.
Uk we call them split pins. A cotter pin is the wedge shaped pin for keeping bicycle pedals in place.
Just as a thought, my wife had one of those stand on vibrating plates and it wobbled all the blubber in the hopes that friction burned it off.....
One of those would be perfect for a fuel tank cleaner as it's not rotational it changes to semi random directions and speeds so perhaps one of those cheap from your local online secondhand market place could be stripped back to leave a good sized platform (that you stood on) that fuel tanks could be strapped to with small nuts and ball bearings or even just small size gravel I bet that would clean anything up better than a tumbler especially if you only wanted to be cleaning the base of a tank and not damage the sides.
Thanks for all your shares, most entertaining indeed
Maybe you should look out for an old jackhammer to restore, so you can then take it down the trail and break up those rocks
you made it past the lily pads, thats a win :)). Plus we had a rescue by a Marine and Crusty off roading 👍....was that a Mercedes following you on the trail😦?!?

It's easy to imagine all the kids that took rides in that boat for decades. Now even more children can enjoy it.
Uh, you saw that it doesn't actually move through the water on its own, right?
@@ricdintino9502 I think Mustie will eventually fix the gear box or replace it. It was a letdown finding the problem after hauling the boat to the lake
Evapo-rust removes the gas tank rust perfectly. You can even save it for another project. I found that watching James Condon
A very very rare time Mustie left the repair incomplete. Fantastic effort as usual though.
I was laughing my ass off when you were trying to ride it into the water! That ride on the "road" to your cabin makes me anxious EVERY time!!! Need to start a GoFundMe to build a better road!! 😀
Take the running gear out of it, plug all the holes, and hang a small outboard on the back😊
Imagine never trying it out on the lake, but having everything working well in the shop. You then return the boat to its owner…he’s all excited to have it running, brings it out to his lake (or maybe gives it to his kid to try) and boom. Stranded. Far better that this happened now, before you returned it as ‘fixed’….:)
What a good friend, comes to Mustie1"s rescue. You can't win them all!!!
🤣 Sammy Hagar. They do look dang near alike. Especially when Sammy was in his younger days. Mas Tequila!!!! Also had a buddy of mine launch his John boat with a 25 horse on it.

in the uk we have cotter and split pins, the one you used was a split pin, the cotter pins are solid with a small hole through the end for an 'R' clip the pass through it to keep it in place, like some axle stands have or those folding engine cranes have on the legs
thanks for the video mate, i think thats how the water inlet is supposed to look minus the welding, i have similar vintage outboard motors here
Apologies, Mustie. I had to laugh when you were sitting, revving that engine and quickly going nowhere at all. Hope you get to enjoy it sooner than later.
I wish you owned it cause that little boat would be awesome to see ripping across the lake!!!
My dad used to strap gas tanks to an old electric concrete mixer he had. Worked excellent.
Clean, 3/4-inch drain gravel works really well for cleaning out old metal gas tanks. The rough surface scrubs off the rust and dried fuel residue.
