    If you don’t mind me asking, how shallow are you running in a couple of those spots? Looks like inches. Also do you have any issues in choppy water with the jet and V combo? Thought about buying a jet foot for my outboard for the shallow sandy river I run. Thanks

    • @themanmetz
      @themanmetz Před 25 dny

      I can run in 6 or 8 inches of water. It's not a crazy shallow running boat. The way it's currently set up, it does pretty well in choppy water. I have ran it on a local lake that can get a little rough and it performed well. With the motor at its current height it isn't the fastest boat but it works great. I have another video running the river and at the beginning it has a close up of the set up.

    Hey Andrew cool video. I just picked up a Crestliner 1450 discover tiller which is a V-hull and it has a 60/40 merc jet pump. I haven't got it out to the river yet, but your video gives me hopes that it will perform well enough to run pretty shallow. The big bonus with some V is going to be a much smoother ride when the chop comes up. We often have to run big water to get to the more shallow sections. Thanks man

  • @nicktarr7684
    @nicktarr7684 Před rokem

    What exactly does "40/28" mean? Seems like 40 would be the HP? New to the jet drives so I am trying to learn.

    • @themanmetz
      @themanmetz Před rokem

      Yes, 40 hp power head. So if this was a typical prop motor it would be rated 40 hp. The jet is a less efficient method of providing thrust. My understanding is that a 40 hp outboard equipped with a jet pump provides the same amount of thrust as a 28 hp prop outboard.

    • @themanmetz
      @themanmetz Před rokem

      I would say top speed was about 25-26 mph the way it sits. I hit 30-31 mph when the motor was set up a little too high. I would guess I ran in 6 inches of water without hitting.

    Nice. It seems to handle well. Before lowering the intake, I might have tried jet fins. But what is done is done. My boat is a much heavier beast and a flat bottom. So at speed, I might tend to drift a little on a turn. Watching you pick your line at the tail of that pool reminded me of that.

  • @themanmetz
    @themanmetz Před 11 lety

    I have seen people use a switch. I bought a parts truck and how it worked was that you had to turn the key to the "on" position. Then hit a start button on the dash. But if you want to bypass the key you will have to do some creative wiring at the ignition switch on the bottom of the steering column. It can be done but be careful with the wiring. A lot of items get power through that switch.

    they have good torque about 40 ft/lbs and it is a water cooled 4 cylinder. the 12 hp number that the engine is rated as is deceiving in a world of 20 hp lawn tractors, the cub is more powerful then you would think; not saying that its a monster just then they have enough power to turn a 60" deck effectively. the c60 is also a very durable engine and will outlast more modern gasoline engines between overhauls. these were/are great tractors
