you do have to factor in the tide and wind as you would use less fuel when running with the tide and more fuel if your pushing against the tide stronger the tide more push needed etc also if the weight load on the boat is more ,then that will effect your fuel consumption . someone here said put a 50hp on the boat however these boats are not rated for that size engine . a mate of mine had a 30hp on his strikeliner and ok yes it do go a little faster but always with the bow well up and out of the water , it looked very unstable tbh.

Thanks for your comment/advice. Yes, it’s now nicely in the recommended range at WOT. Just under 6000rpm. I’ve played around with tilt and trim to find a better top speed and that ‘midpoint on the gauge’ position is the best position when there is just me onboard. The best way I’ve found to increase the speed is to have more weight distributed further forward. Also I appreciate that it’s a semi displacement hull on this so never going to be a speed boat!

Hi Dermot, I’ve left it without a keel band as I don’t need one with the way I use the boat. As far as I know they are designed for when you let the boat sit on the bottom when the tide goes out. A keel band will certainly stop the gel coat getting abraded by whatever’s on the sea floor. I do prefer having less holes in the bottom of the boat now. The old keel band was mild steel and had separated from the hull in places and water was definitely getting in the hull through the screw holes.

@mattryland949 Жыл бұрын
Hi, The boat came with an 11 x 9 prop but I could only get about 4800rpm at Wide Open Throttle (WOT) and a top speed of 12 knots with just me on board. I swapped it for a slightly larger diameter 9.8 x 9 prop. So that’s 0.8 inches extra diameter but 2 inches less pitch. Now I get 5800-5900 rpm at WOT and that’s nicely within the 5000-6000rpm range the outboard manual says you need. The highest speed I’ve had is 15-16 Knots with just me on board. The 25hp is a 3 cylinder so will produce more torque than a 2 cylinder 20hp so I’d say yours might need a slightly smaller diameter prop than mine. You could try a 9 x 9 perhaps. Getting the outboard into the correct rev range is most important as the top speed varies so much depending on weight, weight distribution, wind and tide. With 4 people on board I only get 6 knots and yesterday I went out on my own and only got 14 knots as there was a bit of wind. I generally cruise around at 4000rpm which gives me about 8 knots on my own or 6 knots with 4 people on board. Hope this helps, Matt

Hi Daniel, Thanks for watching the video! I initially thought the same as you with it being air cooled but before doing this video I read the instruction manual in minute detail in order to avoid giving out misleading info. I found on page 54 that it clearly says to run the motor in a bucket with water 6 inches above the anti ventilation plate. And then there is a notice that states: “Running the engine without water can cause overheating and damage.” The first outboard I owned several years ago was a short shaft one of these and to be honest I didn’t run that one in water and never had a problem!

@mattryland9492 жыл бұрын
Hi Steve, I’ve enquired about the window seals and Orkney can supply them. The rubber they use now is slightly different though so won’t match exactly. The seals would need to be changed in a warm environment so they bend easily. Could be impossible to do when cold. For now, I’ve used a bathroom sealant I had in the cupboard to fill the gaps where the seals had shrunk in length over time or because they weren’t cut long enough originally. This has kept the cuddy area dry so far.

Hi, Yes I have - and the boat’s great - I’m really happy with it. There will be a definite lag in getting videos out though as we had our first baby at the end of June! But will get back into it in August and start putting videos out again. And will be getting a life jacket for the baby too!
@@mattryland949 Congratulations Matt on your new addition 👶 Looking forward to seeing the new boat out in action 👍🛥
Hi, I would recommend the Suzuki 20hp - it was a good outboard in my opinion. Back when it was new in 2013 it was the only electronic fuel injection 4 stroke at 20hp so was the best you could buy. But now most of the manufacturers are making EFI outboards at 20hp too so isn’t necessarily still the best available!
Hi Matt, I noticed you used to have the suzuki 20hp 4 stroke, would you recommend it? Looking to upgrade my 2006 yamaha 25 hp 2 stroke. Want something a bit lighter, quieter and more fuel efficient. I have the Quicksilver 365HD inflatable. Thanks. 👍
Actually there is no need to run this small engine in a bucket. I have the same motor and it is air cooled. As you can see there is no tell tale.
Hi Daniel, Thanks for watching the video! I initially thought the same as you with it being air cooled but before doing this video I read the instruction manual in minute detail in order to avoid giving out misleading info. I found on page 54 that it clearly says to run the motor in a bucket with water 6 inches above the anti ventilation plate. And then there is a notice that states: “Running the engine without water can cause overheating and damage.” The first outboard I owned several years ago was a short shaft one of these and to be honest I didn’t run that one in water and never had a problem!
@@mattryland949 Well, obviously the manual isn't incorrect but it doesn't allow for common sense. I realize that the bucket will provide cooling for the lower unit and resistance for the propeller, but that can't be a problem when running at lower rpm for a short time.
Really enjoying all your videos Matt. Well done for all your efforts. Your boat looks so much better than when you first bought it!
Hello Matt, am enjoying your videos after recently becoming a boat owner - Orkney Fastliner 16 - can you let me know how you got on sourcing the window seals please? I think I'm also going to have to change mine in the very near future.... Thanking in anticipation... Steve
Hi Steve, I’ve enquired about the window seals and Orkney can supply them. The rubber they use now is slightly different though so won’t match exactly. The seals would need to be changed in a warm environment so they bend easily. Could be impossible to do when cold. For now, I’ve used a bathroom sealant I had in the cupboard to fill the gaps where the seals had shrunk in length over time or because they weren’t cut long enough originally. This has kept the cuddy area dry so far.
Thanks Matt, I've spoken with the very helpful Susan at Orkney Boats and ordered a set of seals, which I'll be collecting soon. Thanks for getting back to me, am sure I'll have some more questions for you if you have no objections! Cheers Matt
You would get better finish if you use the wool pad to cut then foam pads to polish. 👍
The strikliner is a OK little boat for odd days fun
Really nice boat I love the little orkney,'s I use a sib at the moment but am considering buying a bigger boat similar to your one . Finding your videos very useful 👌
Great viddo i just bought a strikeliner due to turn up tomorrow cant wait
