Can’t beat Kiawa for durability, especially in rivers where the props hi.
I laughed plenty😂
The issue with this twist lock style is the angle of the ladder is bad. If you put your foot on the bottom rung your shin contacts the next step preventing you from pushing yourself into the boat. This step will work but is far from ideal. Also the plate will catch water either getting in plane or coming off plane. This will throw water on the rear deck. Several boats do not have grab handles to pull yourself into the boat. These would also need to be added.
Hey so while that is very true, to be clear here, this ladder is sold as an emergency ladder. If you are looking for something to use on a regular basis, then absolutely I’m sure there are much better options (all for a cost). This one from my experience though is very simple to use and myself all the way to my youngest child don’t have any issues getting in the boat with it. As for the water on the deck, this has never been an issue with this particular model on my specific boat. The way it is mounted is so tight to the jack plate, there isn’t any real issues with this. Hope that helped anyone else reading this as well. Stay safe on the water, that’s the main thing. Better options may be out there but I will say this ladder is far better than no ladder at all…which is how I bought the boat. Thanks for watching and the comment as well. Stay safe out there
Well done, thanks for sharing your technique and all the best
A buddy of mine took a coupling nut, a short piece of all thread, and thread locker to make his TH marine nut work. He thread locked the all thread to the billet nut and coupling nut. By doing that he can still remove the prop by unthreading the billet nut with its custom extension
Man that is slick right there. I’m going to have to give that a shot. That’s my only “complaint” about that prop though it’s not really enough for me to complain about at that. I like that idea though! Thanks for the comment. Very much appreciated
@@problynotthebestgarage hey appearance is half the battle🤷🏻♂️😂
Why does everyone jump down this guys throat re: the grease it’s just a video get over yourself!!!
Hey it’s all good! No worries at all. Lots of cool opinions out there. Heck I’m learning from comments as well that’s what makes it pretty awesome. Thanks for watching!
been running Kipawa prop for years, it's totally worth replacing the stock prop out
Completely agree! Like I said in the video it’s nice to have that original as a spare but as far as I’m concerned, that’s all it will ever be…a spare. Thanks for watching
I don't know if you said it or not, but after cleaning it with the toilet bowl cleaner, would I need to then wax it? In other words, does the toilet bowl cleaner strip the wax off? Okay, never mind at the very end you said it, it does need to be waxed lol
That’s correct! 110% make sure you wax it. I’ll be editing and posting an “over a year” review of the boat soon as well so watch for that. **I’ll give you a hint though, I wouldn’t hesitate doing it again**. Thanks for watching and stay safe out there
i found the video i want to see coz i hv similar leak issue with my 265X65r17 tire on alloy magwheel, great !! but i will try first soapy water for cleaning and lubricant, thanks !!
Glad it helped. Thanks for checkin out the video
Does anyone have a discount code for kipawa?
@scottd8555 hey so when I made the video here I contacted Kipewa directly about that. Granted that has been about a year ago now but their response was that they offered no discount codes of any kind. Again that’s been around a year now but hopefully that helps. Still worth the money to me. That’s the only prop I run anymore. Since the video, it’s never come off. Thanks for watching and stay safe out there
KY Jelly also works.
I can see that working. Only concern would be water on that but hey if it works it works! Thanks for watching
@@problynotthebestgarage Allows it to seat, doesn't damage rubber. Company I worked for used it in manufacturing when attaching large bolts to a rubber gasket to keep the gasket from bunching. Once seated, didn't matter what happened as long as it didn't damage the rubber. Lots of jokes about it however....
I have them both I like the kippewa
I agree completely. Got the original in the boat for a spare but I have no intention to go back to it any time soon. Thanks for watching and stay safe out there
THANKS FOR THE TIP, A BIT CONCERNED DOING THIS ON A CAR TIRE, WITH THE TIRE COMING /slipping -OFF ON THE HIGHWAY ?? take good care all !!
100%. I would never use this for ON ROAD use. Definitely an off road use only. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watchin!
I always get a great "kick" out of restoration. I don't know why. More value for money, maybe. Looks good in the end. How long did it take?
These both took about an hour or so to do. Of course that’s including filming and what not but nothing too crazy there. Thanks for watching 👍🏻
"do something dumb like this every now and then" you say..... I do dumb stuff every now and then without even trying. :) More videos please.
Same! I just manage to get some things on camera haha
:) :) :) Brilliant. Great Video. Even better acting. Thanks. :) :) :) Made my day.
Hopefully nominated for an Oscar soon no doubt 👍🏻👍🏻
Great video... thanks!👍
Much appreciated. Thanks for watching!
Just bought a Kipawa for my Terrova. I know exactly what you mean by the motor feeling loosey goosey. Thanks for the video!
I feel sure you’re going to like it. It would be really hard for me to go back to that original prop now. So far so good on mine still. Thanks for watching and stay safe out there!
Water and soap will detect leaks on the tread. It will produce air bubbles anywhere there is a leak! I have found and plugged many leaks that way. You should never put petroleum products on rubber.
Yep. Soap and water bubbles just like I show here in this video…. Petroleum products used at your discretion as well. Also why I put a warning at the beginning. Never had a problem myself but use at your own risk.. Thanks for watching.
Ive used grease before never had a problem so i dont see the big deal with "rotting". What i found so nobody bitches is to get a can of cheap enamel paint or even primer and spray the rim heavy and let it dry. But u can do whatever but the grease is definatly more perminant!
Someone a while back mentioned the paint thing as well. That’s a solid idea. I’ll have to try that one day. Thanks for checking out the video
@@problynotthebestgarage yea cool! Very easy especially with pits and such fills in the void and the thing is it drys and can't hurt chit! I've noticed this especially up north here with aluminium rims and putting from calcium chloride and salt...
@@davidrogers5180 great idea!
@@paullee7467 my buddy has a car repair garage was just up there needed the bead fixed on a leaking tire he broke it down sanded the wheel and he put grease on the tire and rim said hees been doing it for 25 years and has never had a problem... I mite try peanut butter sometime just to see if it works and for chits and giggles
@@paullee7467 but the cheap enamel pain works great! Especially on pitted aluminium rims... Fill them pinholes in nice...
Your sites name gave me a good laugh,thank you sir.😂
Hey everyone needs a good laugh haha. Thanks for checkin out the channel
Looks great. Hope mine turns out that good. Once I get the boat
Is that the original switch panel just cut out for the new switches?
No, It is not the original. I took the original switch panel and traced it on a blank piece of wood so I could shape it. Then it got coated with 3-4 layers of paint just for sealant from water then of course the epoxy and carbon fiber over it. So far I have had no issues whatsoever through all kinds of weather. Just takes a little time to shape that piece as the old one is slightly curved to match the dash.
Thank you for this video. Hopefully I’m about to buy the exact same boat but a 97’ and I want to upgrade the switch panel. I just subscribed
Thank you for that. And I tell you, if I could go back and buy another boat…it would still be this one. I’ve fished on a bunch of them over the years and this thing rides great and is just so stable to fish on. You’ll love it! Thanks again for watching. Stay safe out there.
@@problynotthebestgarage thanks will do. Hopefully I’ll have it in a couple of weeks. Cold here in Indy but I can’t wait.
Great video. I was wanting to hear from somebody that actually tried grease. That’s what I was going to do. I also heard about somebody using anti-seize compound and I thought of that as well but I think I’ll just try the grease since you say it works hopefully it’ll seal my bead up.Thanks!
Thanks for sharing! Good video
Great idea
Thank you. It definitely works well!
A quick question, because I think I might be missing something. Why do you have to remove the valve stem? Is it not enough to deflate the tire enough that you can easily and safely break the bead?
Hey thanks for the question there. So the valve core removal it just eliminates having to sit and hold it. It is by no means necessary at all. The removal of the core also allows for air to escape while putting pressure on the sidewall while you break the bead. Hope that makes sense and hopefully helps out. Thanks again for the question
Does not work.
@philsorrentino1707 Sorry to hear that. Just to make sure though in case this differed. I did try a different type of cleaner that was just at our house already and had absolutely no luck at all. If that’s the case for you as well, make sure you try the exact brand listed in this video. Best of luck there if you decide to give it another whirl. Thanks for the comment
Pull your head in buddy It's NOT the OPs fault that you bought a completely different branded product! There are only 3 scenarios in which you could make a statement like that in good faith 1. You are making assertions that the OP is a Liar and deliberately misleading his audience, but why would he do that? 2. You are making accusations that the OP used special effects and Photoshop to deceive his audience into believing that LYSOL would work to remove Hull waterline scum lines and discolouration. Or the most likely scenario is 3. Your incompetence has led you to purchase the incorrect product and when it didn't work you immediately make accusations that OPs method "DOESN'T WORK" which I can personally attest to that it most certainly DOES WORK if you buy the actual product OP demonstrates in this video. Derrrrh 🙄
I suggest diluting with water
great review man...i've been wanting to try one of these props out, but i've seen mixed reviews. I think i'll have to take the chance now!
Hey @callsignsleepy yea so far so good. It’s got quite a bit of use already this year and absolutely no regrets whatsoever thus far. Glad it helped out. Stay safe out there and thanks for check out the video
@@problynotthebestgarage that’s good to hear…cuz I ordered mine last night after watching the video. Lol
@callsignsleepy haha that’s great. Hope it works as good for you as mine!
Ive been running them on both my boats for 7yrs. Durability is unmatched. Add lithiums and youll have to dial back trolling motor substantially vs. Standard prop
@bsaxonfishing2163 yea all good here thus far for me as well. Thanks for the comment, I really like seeing these long term reviews like that. Stay safe out there and thanks for checkin out the video
THANKS 4 POSTING. GREAT TEST!!! LOOKS GOOD
@jdean1851 hey thanks for watching. At the end of the tournament season I’m going to put out a follow you video as to how it has held up. So be looking for that if interested. It’s been great so far for sure! Thanks again for watching and thanks for the comment
I run the Kipawa prop on my Minn Kota motors. Battery life is better than the stock props and so far, they do great in grass. Now I have not used them in matted grass, I try to avoid it if I can. Been using the Kipawa now about five years. It’s dug trenches in sand, mud and rocky bottoms and still don’t have and dings or cracks. Well worth the money.
@jaypruss3236 hey thanks for the info there. So far I’m pretty happy with it. Batteries are staying solid and short of some scratches from getting too shallow in a night tournament (my fault) it’s holding up well. Glad to hear a long term review like that though for sure! Thanks for the comment and stay safe out there
I have been a Mower Repair Mechanic for longer than some of you are. And I have used the same technique with the exception of using Tire Sealer like Slime or similar instead of Grease with satisfying results. My hats off to you for sharing this video. Good Job.
I appreciate that. Thanks for checkin it out and for the comment as well
A better idea is to use a sponge to put it on🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭
Yes indeed. Next time it needs it I’ll definitely change some application processes haha. Thanks for watching
By the way this tip its going to save me lots of money...thank you@@problynotthebestgarage
This is the ONLY video I've seen that demo's the ladder. Great job and thank you, this fisherman appreciates the effort and time!
Hey glad to hear it helped out!
Nice video! Just curious, have you used it at all? Buying a new boat this weekend and my wife wants to go swimming. I don't want to put holes in my new transom to mount a ladder so this looks great. Will this be easy enough to use for getting in and out of the boat though?
Absolutely! We use this all the time. If you check out another video on the channel here called “Jackplate Ladder Demo” (it has me falling in the water as the picture) you can see it in use. It’s very easy to use for sure. I’m 6’ tall myself and it’s fine and my wife is 5’2” and she can also use it just fine just bigger steps for her of course. Hopefully that helps and if you have any other questions feel free to ask. Enjoy the new boat!
@@problynotthebestgarage Thanks so much, I really appreciate the reply. We picked up our new Tracker Classic XL from BP on Saturday. When we were going through the walk through with the boat I asked the guy what type of ladders would he suggest that didn't require drilling the transom and he mentioned the motor mount ladder. I was like, "Hey, I just looked at that one." and he says "Well sometimes we have them in our stock room." So he went and looked and they found one and I said I'll take it if you mount it, it was a done deal. Looks great but we haven't tried it out yet. I'm so glad to read your post now. We took it out but only had time to do the first one hour break in before it started getting late. We will take it out hopefully this weekend to get the second hour in and test out the new ladder also. :)
an easier and better way - (trick) is -remove valve stem, get an old caulk gun tube -fill it with old latex paint and pump it into the tire -grease is fine but alot of times it will not fix the problem but latex paint fills in all cracks and seals it up perfect -
That is a very interesting one. Haven’t heard of that truck before. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching
Super Iron Out. About $8 for a bottle. Just a little bit of the powder in a bucket of water, don’t breathe it in. Use a deck brush to slap in on the hull then rinse off. 1 bottle will last you the whole season and is the best product for this by far! 🇨🇦
Agreed. Tried a whole batch of different cleaners including toilet bowl cleaner. Iron out worked the best, hands down. I think its probably easier on the gel coat as well.
Crisco for grease!!!
I use “ toilet bowl wax ring “ from any hardware store - dig out the wax - put in a small can - heat it up to melt the wax - take a small brush and dip it in the melted wax and brush it on the bead or rim- when the wax hits the cold surface it hardens and wax doesn’t dry out !
Two words,,(brake fluid)
I had problems with leaks around the beads on aluminium (UK spelling of the metal with the additional i) alloy wheels caused by corrosion from salt on roads. It was on a Nissan car towards the lower end of the market so possibly not very good quality alloy although the car served me for over 212,000 miles. I used the method as described but instead of using grease I used the thick black stuff sold for undersealing vehicles. It was messy to use but did the job successfully.
cayenne pepper where did you buy that black stuff sold for undersealing vehicles?
Thanks it works well
Absolutely. Thanks for watching
.It takes several gallons of oil to make a tire, I don't see that grease would hurt it.
I use my log splitter and a piece of 2 x 4 cross grain against splitters wedge and puproceed to pole splitters handle forward and break the bead and repeat until tire is freed from wheel. Get a piece of sandpaper, clean up the rims bead area. Use a little soap on tire and blast it with 180 psi if you’re able to. If you’re having a problem, getting the tire back on wheel,spray a little either inside the tire, use a candle, lighter clicker and light tire. Tire will be seated back and wheel very quickly. Use caution when using this method.
It works. By the time the grease would wreck the bead the entire tire would be junk anyway.
Seeing is believing! Thanks for the video!
You bet! Thanks for checking out the video
Tires would probably dry rot with or without the grease by the time the grease actually affected the bead enough to ruin the tire.
