BRP.... Be Ready to Paddle!

I can't believe they totally gave up on Evinrude for this pile of absolute Ghost junk. Why would anyone in their right mind even think of putting a motor powerhead underwater? This has to be the worst idea in the entire history of marine propulsion or maybe in the entire history of the internal combustion engine. BRP, if you're watching, go back to work on the Evinrude outboard and bring us something that really works well. I don't care if it's an improved 2-stroke outboard or an all new 4-stroke motor - anything will be better than this foolish thing. If you won't do that, at least provide those of us still running Evinrude outboards with a reliable stream of replacement parts.

You are forgetting the top 5 positives. 1. Fishoflauge color cause it is underwater 2. No wasp nests in cowling. 3. No fuel or oil costs after 3 months underwater cause it quits running 4. Never have to worry about resale value there is none. 5. Can,t think of number 5. Notice my comma in can,t is underneath.

I'm still impressed that you were actually able to read that bulletin with a straight face. That's like a legit stand-up comedy sketch!

Love my Etec, but they killed their outboard division for this? 😂

These will be in the hall of shame engineering and design files for years to come.

As someone who witnessed this entire project & recently left Manitou/BRP, you NAILED this!!!! They are still pushing this as the best new product in marine and are saying they’ll have their best year in marine ever next year. It’s been a mass exodus there & has been very sad to see. Nobody in upper management knows what they’re doing & if they did they went unheard & left. 10/10 video, and also, they’re still producing a few every day, but they all go sit in the yard that they have to keep expanding because dealers don’t want more!

I want an overboard with an under boat.

Please show more of this engine! I have got to see what a outboard motor internal bilge pump looks like?

I have a G2 Etec 150 on my Alumacraft 195 trophy. Came from a 1981 Silvan Sea Monster 17 with a 1984 Evindure 50 hp. That boat still floats and that motor still runs. Has some new parts but still runs. I am an Evinrude die hard. What has happened to them is a travesty

Lmfao you weren't kidding about the loon shit. That motor looks like its been on the bottom of the river since the early 1970s 😂

I would have loved to be a fly on the wall in the first meeting that kicked off this concept.

You are Y.T. GOLD! I love these videos!

Lmfao! I wanna see you open one of these things up!

🤣🤣🤣 i was dying you read that!!! Seriously though, i stopped in at a local Manitou dealer recently and they said sales are abysmal on this setup. Theres 2 in the Detroit Lakes MN area and its "stupid rich guys" that have them.

Johnny #5 Dissemble, No Dissemble!! 😂 💀 That’s awesome!

Just discovered this channel, loving it so far, except the part about Etec's being junk, but hey I'm not going to trash someone who is in the business. So far my 2016 150 HO has been solid. If it ever comes time to re power it will be a Yamaha 175 SHO!!

Well everybody else is going overboard on their motors, BRP is going "underboard"😂

I love your channel, always have a good laugh watching your videos, watching from New Zealand

They won’t go broke on warranty because they’ll only have to warranty the 6 units they sell😂

I like the name Rotax Submarine. It's unbelievable how BRP came up with this!

I’ve got a friend that owns a dealership that sells Manitou. The company got one to him just in time for the boat show in January. It looked like a really cool idea at first because of the huge swim platform. He sold one, and won’t order another. He’s said that Manitou is trying to go to all of this futuristic looking stuff that he don’t think will sell here in Alabama. He picked up Trifecta to sell because of it.

Andy you killing me!!!!🤣😂🤣

BRP is GREAT! An underboard that under normal operation/design is to be submerged needs service ASAP. So... after you launch that brand new underboard into the water, the next step before starting and enjoying your day on the water, load boat back on trailer immediately and bring to dealer; rinse and repeat😆

And I am definitely getting one of those along with square wheels for my new pick up truck lol

Go Andy for president 👍🏼

😂Come on man!! I want one on a ZEleventeen Natro!!!

After watching this i did some more digging and there are a bunch of sensors and it has a actual self test that tests the sealing of the cowl and engine compartment. And the air intake is molded into the boat. With that being said these motors are not designed or manufactured to be a repower option. Its designed for a specific boats and thats it.

😂😂 I love it

As soon as I get my 32nd stimulus check I am switching to this because it is the best thing since unsliced bread. You don't see the other 3 unnovating like this, and that's why they will be left in the future. Great vid but I was hoping to see inside the cowling....

Thats it...i am buying one of those hats after this...and the beep guy needs a raise.😅😅

But can you tell us how you really feel about it??!😂🤣 Hilarious!! Best commentary ever! You forgot that even with the twins and docking, the motor would NOT hit the dock because you can’t put it in reverse😂🤣😂!! Priceless!! One favor…. You recently did a very impressive over/under on the Gator Trax bass boat. Can you also do one on the Gator Trax GT CC model.?

Seems simple to me. Fill the owners manual full of reasons warranty won’t cover it so all warranty claims can be denied. I am guessing the lost enough on the etec nightmare of warranties to find a way around that.

So Andy, does this mean you’re not a fan of the new rotax ghost outboards? 😂 😂😂😂

Real question is what does Andy hate more. Rotax or Force lol

Andy for president!

Of all my years as an outboard technician I would have never thought to put the motor under the water. Saltwater would kill this engine for sure! And 5-year 500-hour service interval? That's a long time for fuel filters, gear lube, grease fittings, zincs etc. I would have thought the G2 failure was a wakeup call. Please do a video on how to service one of these "underwater nightmares".

Wanna see it opened up!

You gotta be yankin my Johnson

What in the fu$% did i just read got me 😂😂😂

Thank god they named it rotax and not evinrude

As a past dealer of Johnson/ Evinrude motors. I’m glad they dropped Evinrude name. I believe this will be as popular and dependable as the “Sea Drive”.

Does that hood prop float for when u drop it in the drink? How do you diagnose and repair with a board in the way and the engine underwater? A chipped cowel and you have a sunk engine insurance claim.

I love my 1991 Evinrude XP 150 V6. I can work on it and it just runs. Sure, I smoke up the dock while the white shoe boys smirk but I dont even care. I never tow them back when they run thier batteries dead with thier 24" Subwoofers.

I think the biden administration approved that green design. Lol

Show us it under the cowl or do a service walk around vid and maybe on water vid, plenty more content to be made with this and all the fuckery

just wait until they come out with an EV version! It will change fishing forever! The electric underboard, will shock the fish every-time you go to start up. Put on your life jacket, turn on the ignition switch, then grab your electrically insulated net and start scooping up the fish! Fill up the live-well and Win the tournament by mid-morning, be home by lunch! Watch the rest weigh-in from bed, collect the cash and prizes the next morning! Game... Set... Match... Underboard ! Only negative is... When Johnny buys them out for the EV Nitro... It probably will SHOCK inside the boat, instead of in the water... lol

The hawk tuah of marine engines

BRP about to get (under) waterboarded 😅

Are you kidding me with that piece of well? You know what I am talking about

I definitely will not be switching to a ghost, I’ll keep my 2 smoker opti 😂

what's the beep count in one ?! awesome!

If you find anyone who bought these motors, please get ahold of them and do a video with them. I wanna hear the reason why ANYONE would buy this catastrophe of a motor on purpose? Lol

Where's the nearest dealer ? Cuz I wanna buy one. Lemme guess....... Available through Amazon 😅

Our switch (and just about every other one) has a constant drain on the battery and runs it dead in less than 2 weeks. That’s without keeping an ECU powered to monitor and run the pumps.

Andy I am going to repower my new tritoon with 3 of these. I plan to have two on the back and one on the front ( for reverse). When I'm not reversing I can tilt it up so I can see the front engine but not the back 2 engines. If I buy the engine bumper option, I will not need any traditional bumpers which will be a cost savings. I plan to run all engines off of one 12 Volt battery with solar panels mounted below the lifting strakes on the toons.

I think we can all agree that innovation is usually a good thing. This is an answer to a problem that nobody was asking for. It seems like people who don't give a shit about boating designed this motor. Maybe you can say the motors are quieter than other outboards. Obviously the designers don't know boaters. Most boaters love the sound of their outboards. My 1986 Evinrude 15hp will live long after these shit boxes are gone!

Yeah I like quite boats and loud motorcycles but obviously some people like loud outboards. Just look at the new mercs they sound like a muscle car when you start them up.

You gotta look at the bright side 😂. If you stick a snorkel on that thing and a little foam in the boat and you can drive it back to the ramp if it sinks😂

I think they had a idea back in the day, just sell rebranded Suzuki's.

Does the T Shirt come wet? Like submerged in a rubbermaid container full of water?

I thought they made the inboard/outboard classification for a reason…. This is not an outboard 😂 Man love your videos…. Just when I thought BRP or Evinrude or whoever the fuck they are anymore couldn’t do any worse, they go and create this. Omc’s Ficht and BRP’s G2 are holy grails next to this. You’re right, only word to use is hilarious… 😂

Love my BRP offroad toys but man they really shit the bed with this tub of water.

I like my engines and fine wine Extra Dry! This will last as long as the L-drive on the old bayliner bowriders.

LOL Twins

Do they come with a tiller option?

I'm looking to mount quads on my Bayliner!!!!

I dont think i have laughed so much EVER! I worked at a BRP dealership for 2 years and it was the most painful 2 years in my working life. Why BRP didnt bolt a rotax 4 stroke on their outboards instead of the junk they chose to use is beyond me, or anyone in that matter.

Would be nice to see a video on what is going on inside. You talk about it, but never even take the cover (or whatever that thing is) off. Give us a video on how fun it would be to service one!

It's the marine version of the Edsel!

I have an under (water) board. It's required by the DNR to have one on every boat. It's called a paddle... 🤣🍺🎣
