So true. He doesn’t waste any of our time. No ads, no bs, no funny haha crap just uninterrupted knowledge from our favorite boat uncle

I've been doing outboards for over 30 years and what you watching is an accurate display of outboard repair but beware sometimes in the short demos things look a lot easier than they turn out to be

It’s amazing what you can find when you stumble through your garage

Not gonna lie, I like them all. Nothing beats the sound out an outboard on a day off first thing in the morning, at your favorite ramp.

For the evinrude that needs an impeller try Crowlie Marine. They usually have all the parts for old omc engines, but their shipping is very slow. Nice video

Really helpful mate, interestingly the majority of repairers turn out to be simple. Thanks for putting your knowledge out, you always keep it simply. I recently did my 3 carbs saving myself labour cost. Carb kits were $120.00 for the 3 and I was quoted $325.00 all up. So I saved $ 205. Aus dollars from watching you. Awesome

Excellent work, Dude! Love seeing you bring these engines back to life.

Honestly I love this channel. As a new boater but old fisherman I’ve always been and always will be a surf caster. But want to explore boat fishing and you’ve inspired me to take on a project and make it my own. Keep ‘em coming 👍💪

you have a surprisingly large amount of knowledge for your age !!!!!! I wish there were more like you!! sharing what you're sure of without claming to know what you dont yet know 48 years in the buiz for a living plus a little racing and your work cought my eye keep up the good work!!!!

I love your motor troubleshooting videos! Please do more of them... I learn a lot from them.

I like to know what type of oil you use when you have to add it to the motors. Also it be cool to see you diagnose more broken engines without knowing what’s wrong with it. Really helps me and I bet others learn so much! Great videos!

I would love to learn how to fix motors like you. I have sailed my entire life and I always struggle with outboard motors that either wont start or have issues running smoothly. Your channel is a good source of knowledge

This is so good to watch! I live in Venice, I've used boats my whole life but I've still learned a lot from all those videos! Go Boat GUY!!!

I’m jealous that you can find all of these motors. Where I’m located everything, including non runners are crazy expensive and half don’t have titles which you need in SC.

Nice work! It's very satisfying to see the motors running again. I've got a late 80's early 90's Yamaha/Mariner. Those are bulletproof!

I love this fast paced troubleshooting. Thanks for showing us and editing with no bullshit.

This man is a wizard. Wish id found this channel years ago.

Amazing level of knowledge. I have very little experience working on engines but I'm looking to buy a cruising sailboat. This is a good way to get familiar with things that commonly go wrong on outboards.

Really like the fact the videos show the meat and leave out the fat. No wasted commentary. Just the facts. Lots of other youtubers should watch this guy's videos to learn how it is done. He does not talk just to hear the sound of his voice.

Thanks for the video Eric! I like most outboards. I prefer them even to diesel for most applications and would never want another gas inboard in any boat. The most recent acquisition was a boat with a 20 year-old Suzuki OB. I hadn't thought much about Suzuki before but this one is awesome!

I had a 6hp 2stroke 93 Suzuki sit for 4 years in my basement, I’d been watching your videos for a while now so I decided why not get this one going for the summer so I pulled it out the basement, fixed our tender for the sailboat, and all I had to do was clean the carb and put new gas, thanks to your videos it was a breeze lol! I would have paid for it to be done if it wasn’t for you! Keep it up

Do your neighbors hate you? When ever I start up anything with a motor besides my car, my neighbors call the cops.

Is this channel and boat repair your full time job or do you have a “day job”? If you have a day job, what is it?

Those all the best videos when you are repairing -- actually learned something(s). . . ...keep them coming!

Best video I've seen on learning outboard/small engine repair, all in one place. So many issues were diagnosed and addressed. I wonder where he picks these up.

Where can I see what you have for sale? I'm looking for electric start 20hp Tahatsu tiller or yamsha 2 or 4 stroke; prefer 4. Please reply. Thanks

I love old and new Evinrude, im actually kinda sad that they went under

You make it look like a walk in the park. You got it going boss. Blessings to you and yours.

Can't tell you how much I've learned watching your videos, thank you.

Boat guy love you videos I've had boats personally to 25ft. And my father we've had up to 45 ft lover videos this engine video was really really good the next time I have an outboard I'll remember what things you showed in your videos like new impellers cleaning the carbs just basic stuff thanks a lot

No clue why this popped in my algo, but I'm in! You are magic my friend. I don't own a boat, but I do own a motorcycle, lawnmower and it amazes me how people never start with the carb.

Awesome stuff. You know your stuff. Would love to see more junk boat rehabs. Like the one with the grass growing the back. lol . You have performed some miracles. More of those please! Lots of boats sitting in yards out there.

Hey bro, this is my fav KZread channel and I actually got a boat this summer because your videos were so good!

god lord man, i grew up in Venice ITA, and i work with engines since i have memories. But woow, im still learning a lot from you!! ur amazing!!!

Those 4 stroke Mercs make me appreciate my 1996 Mercury 30hp Sea Pro 2 stroke. Nice and basic with a carb and no computer. I'm keeping my 2 cycle engine forever.

From the looks of things, you've got a pretty complete knowledge of outboards... Great job, and great video.

Love these series when you work on a couple ones. Fun to watch a few in a row

You're my hero, just getting going on a 1982 Mercury 40hp. Its gonna take me DAYS to get it running, this video makes me jealous ha

Really enjoyed watching you videos here in Fiji ... That government boat restoration video was cool bro... Awsome work... God bless bro

I had one of those 25 four stroke Mercs, a 2006. Loved it, great motor.

Great job buddy. You very good at what you do. 👍🏻

I could and have been watching these kinds of videos all day!

As an hvac tech, awesome work. 👌🏻🤙🏻👍🏻

I don't know what it but I can watch your videos all day. I'm a Yamaha fan. I have a 1998 19ft Mako with a 1996 130hp Yamaha.

Great coverage on all the motors. I’m partial to Yamaha but the Tahatsu interests me!
