Engineers design for non-removable, non replaceable because mostly they don't work on the stuff. You can get some locking surgical pliers (forceps ?) For cheap at local flea market or internet. They come either straight or curved on the end. I didn't have any when I worked on electronic equipment for many years, so I had to use spit on the end of my finger to remove or replace inaccessible small parts, and sometimes light grease. I had a meter on one model that had two mounting nuts inside on two screws about four inches long. Had to remove and replace those nuts with a screwdriver about 6" long and a hammer to loosen them. So have your hands reduced in size or get some forceps. Good videos. God bless.

Someone needs to make a gif of you spinning around lmao

I did comment once before that you must have a lot of time on your hands but now I'll just call it an extended childhood, we could all probably benefit from a little more of that, it seems harmless enough. Thanks again for your time mate. If I ever get to your country I think I'll hide round the corner so I can see what you get up to when you think no one's looking, I guarantee that's when the really fun stuff happens. Keep enjoying yourself and please get as much as you can on camera. Bye now.

All this time I've been putting my dinghy in the pool the hard way! I gotta get me a half track boom truck.

I saw the thumbnail of the video and said, that would be something my dad would have done when he was alive. Then I watched it... Dude, you look a lot like my dad did 25 years or so ago. You both have similar skills in inventive engineering, and similar senses of humor. Just by you being you, I was reminded of many times spent with him tinkering on all things mechanical.

Heavy animal fat is nice to use on the waterpump, it won't heat up easily as long ad the engine aren't run dry.. And it sticks like crazy... Maybe re apply every 2 years after, like you are supposed to do... And since it's animal fat /Lard, it's not releasing pollution into the water either...

Love this whole video, one thing missing The song "YOU SPIN ME RIGHT ROUND BABY, RIGHT ROUND"

I'm only a year late, but... you can print in rubberised PLA, so you can actually print those as soft rubber grommets for later on. :)

Silicone lube for rubber impellars. The only way to ensure that your replacement impellar will not disintegrate over time. Rubber is dissolved by petrochemical lubricants.

You wouldn’t have to use stainless steel washers for the propeller. You could also use nylon washers. Yes it will wear but it’s easy to change it out.

man i'd love to see that on open water i bet it tonks! since its such a small boat with an 11hp engine

Hysterical !

Lubriplate 105 works well for the impeller.

That to cool!!..

That's actually a nice pool

I always used KY on my rubber, it doesn't swell.

Outboards are easier to work on, compared to a 4-stroke Lawnmower Engine. 9/10times it is a fuel/carburetor problem...

Thumbs up right away 👍

Good thing you had the oars for backup. You could have been stranded if the motor failed!

When I saw the first run it was like my 6 HP Merc because I put a Merc thermostat in. When the engine warms up, the thermostat opens and I get a good solid flow. I put thermostat on because I fish a lot in a cold lake at 9000 f(Big Lake Az). I hear a lot of whine. Lower unit roller bearing may be rusted up.

It's also a Mariner 4hp or a 5hp Yamaha depending on the jetting. I've had a 2004 model from new.

Awesome

If you can come up with a burgee with a desert cactus on it you could start your own yacht club

Meme Worthy.:That moment the prop touches the liner...

I'm pretty sure there's suppose to be a steady-stream of water coming out when it's running, and you shouldn't run one without that steady-stream of water, even for a little while, well that's what I was told years ago about bigger outboards anyway, IDK if this applies to these smaller ones or not, I can't believe that you had that whole thing apart, and didn't even put new seals in the lower-unit, it's just going to fill-up with water again, and then bust the lower-unit whenever it gets cold out, (ask me how I know), now this may not apply to you, but that "test-drive" sure left a lot to be desired, lol.

Onward to more adventures...

For lubricating the impellers, I always use Silicone Grease, in fact I use it for everything rubber related. It really stays for a long time too, even with water going through it. I've got a question too, what 3D design program do you use with your PLA printer?
