1988 Princecraft Aluminum Boat
zhlédnutí 691Před 3 měsíci
15 ft Princecraft Aluminum boat walkaround. Boat is an absolute workhorse. True testament to Princecraft boats and longevity. They still make pretty much the same boat today as they did in 1988, the Springbok 16 is the name today.
Evinrude e tec 30 water pump impeller replacement
zhlédnutí 5KPřed 3 měsíci
This video will walk you through an impeller, water pump replacement for an Evinrude e-tec 30 hp outboard. Will cover most e-tec models (25-30 hp) after 2011 and very similar for outboards 2011 and older. Part numbers included in video. Also demonstrated thermostat inspection.
Chase Orientation w small hides SD 480p
zhlédnutí 21Před rokem
Trying out smaller hides so going through orienting Chase, then some test runs at home and a few in the field. It takes him a little longer to find but he can clearly still mark on them.
Chase and woodpile third run

Chase working the woodpile for the third run with the hide on another side
Chase and woodpile 2nd run

Moved the hide to another location in the woodpile and re-ran the test, this is run 2. There are woodrats and mice that use this pile so trying to keep him on target
Chase re-working the woodpile
zhlédnutí 10Před rokem
Chase has a little predator shift the first time we ran this trial with hide. In this first video I am trying to make sure he will stay on target and not drift and give me his trained final response (TFR). In the next two following video I move the hide to different areas of the woodpile to replicate he is still working on the target scent. Spoiler - he does well!
Blind scent excursion with Chase
zhlédnutí 22Před rokem
I am not great at reading Chase's body language and cues yet while scent detecting so I made this video so I can review later and also to train myself to always be behind him so that I am watching him at all times. This started as just our normal morning walk without any search cues or his vest but he quickly realized it was game on! Still has some predator shift on woodpiles with target scent,...

Black Bear with what appears to be a long horse-like tail! Never seen this before.
Chase's first time at a large field trial with turtle scent
zhlédnutí 25Před 2 lety
This is Chase's first time searching a large field for rags scented with western pond turtle scent. It is after 10 am, sunny and warm but the field was just watered earlier in the morning. I think this pattern allows for good scent dispersion with low to the ground residual humidity. Wind is coming from my back (behind the camera) towards Chase and moving toward the left of frame. I could see h...
Chase the Turtle Sniffing Dog - 1st time with non targets introduced
zhlédnutí 17Před 2 lety
I've been working with Chase with target (turtle scented rag) only and pairing a treat inside the can with target odor. He quickly graduated to being rewarded the treat when he hits the target odor, then I worked on a delay (1-2 seconds). He is much more comfortable with his nose in the cans vs the very beginning a couple months ago. This video shows his first attempt at introduced non-target o...
OMC Outboard Kicker Motor Bracket Install
zhlédnutí 5KPřed 2 lety
Not short but thorough video installing an OMC kicker bracket on an 18 foot aluminum Klamath boat. I looked at the Panther 4-stroke brackets but after reader more about the OMC's that come up frequently on eBay I decided I liked this design better. Install was not bad, just took my time and was patient, hardest part is drilling holes in your boat. I'll probably refit and move the bracket up one...
Honda 8hp Outboard Impeller Replacement
zhlédnutí 22KPřed 2 lety
I actually delayed this job thinking it was going to be a bit of a nightmare with how the linkage was connected inside the motor cover. It actually was not all that bad and took about an hour. If you're patient and careful with removing and installing the shift linkage pin you will be good to go. Be sure to support the lower unit and not try and pull the shift linkage all the way out. Just lowe...
Honda 8hp Outboard Motor Flush Kit
zhlédnutí 6KPřed 2 lety
Here is the freshwater motor flush down kit I purchased for my Honda 8hp outboard. Not intuitive when I first opened the package but once I stared at it long enough it all made sense. I'll post another video of actually flushing it once its back up and running. After connected and hose on manual recommends flushing for 10 min. Be sure not to put in gear! Tearing into the thermostat next. Part i...
Assisting a young learning snowboarder off the chair lift
zhlédnutí 34Před 2 lety
A proper way to assist a young learning snowboarder off the chair lift is to sit next to them and behind them so you can hold them under the arms as they come off the chair. Same is true for loading and if no safety bar have them wrap their arm around a side bar on the chair.

8HP Honda Outboard BF8A Used Review Model BZBC 2004 Year
If a motor sits a lot those vanes can take a permanent set and the material gets hard. Pamper that etec…….there are no more coming. This was a good video. When I was doing thus for the first time, I had to watch 5 of them to assemble enough information. Yours is pretty clear.
Thanks for the video. Very nice job!
So, besides KITTY!, thanks for the video. The tip to use a ladder to support the lower unit was easily worth the price of admission. I would say, the instructions with the kit state to insert the impeller key and slide down the impeller to trap it before mounting the driveshaft. I did it as listed, and it took seconds, just needing a tap on a 2x4 to completely seat the impeller over the key. Secondly, when torquing a set of fasteners, one shouldn't work clockwise or counterclockwise, but in a diagonally opposed fashion. Doing it as you did will allow the housing to flex, and result in inconsistently tight fasteners. If numbered 1-6 in a clockwise fashion, I torqued 1-4-6-3-2-5. I went around a second time, and nothing moved.
KITTY!
Muy buena explicación al detalle, muchas gracias.
Здравствуйте. Хорошая скорость. Винт какого размера стоит на моторе?
Thank you for the video. Why were you changing the thermostat? Other springs mentioned?
I run it in saltwater so I figured it was time to inspect the thermostat. The other springs in the water pump kit are for earlier etecs pre 2011 I believe. You won’t need the springs for newer etec water pumps
@@robgrasso1605 My instructions said for 2010 and newer models, the impeller and springs should be replaced as a set. The springs go in the thermostat. Thanks for the video.
Thank you so much for sharing, I live in Norway. The prise of an regular 300h service including the impeller change is close to 1/3 of the price of a brand new engine. Thank you again, this is very useful.
Wow! That is expensive. No problem, glad you found it useful
Hi my name is John from Kenya, how can you help me please i need the engine 15hp
Do you have a part number for that fuel mechanism
How do you get the plate of the thermostat
So do I turn on the engine n neutral while flushing? Thank you
Hide is inaccessible. Chase was in conflict about offering his trained final response, hence resulting in some predatory drift. Good job paying that interest and commitment on his part.
Little switch-tasking, good job redirecting him.
Nice job getting him back on task.
Probably a tape worm.
COULD IT BE THAT .... AHHH NAA THATS NOT IT ...
how 💀
Nice video. Did this same job 2 years ago. About time to do it again. Yep!...Getting that shift pin fed back through and the cotter pin back in is def the tricky part. (I did not remove the carb). I did shove a shop towel down below the linkage in and around the "black hole" first, which saved me from losing the tiny parts a couple of times. Also, after loosening the lower bolts, I positioned the motor vertically. The lower unit slid down perfectly, stable on the ground, made it easy to change out the gasket and impeller and reassemble. Thank you.
Engine was hard to start when I got it and last person said it was tip-top so I knew I was going to be cleaning the carb and changing the thermostat so it was already more convenient for me to remove the carb, but thanks for noting, that will save a step on the next time I change. I think every two years is a good schedule to change impeller. I have a 30hp etec that needs that done, so maybe a video on that.
Good job Chase!!
Well done, best video out there. I removed what I think is the rectifier on the left side of the pin, made it much easier to handle the pin.
Thanks, I looked at it and wondered if it would but decided not to remove mine, good tip!
Permatex #2?
I just use a $5 canadian tire bucket.
The impeller move's in only one direction. If your in reverse gear the engines rotation is the same as if you were in forward gear, if you think about how the gearbox works.
Then must have been installed incorrectly by previous owner from the start them I imagine
Give the people what they want and show a video of it running!
I have the video just need to edit a bit!
I would also liked to have seen it running after the install, to see what kind of force of flow I should expect from mine. Mine flows but compared to my Honda 50, not nearly as fast. Parts are on order to do this job, and your video is a big help. Thanks much!
thinking about buying this exact motor for a kicker, did you get it running? guy wants 900.00 for it, is it worth it?
This is good
Great video I have one but is not peeing
Could be the impeller but they usually still stream or spit a little water, you can always try to clear the line out the outlet port on the casing. If been sitting they can clog up and not enough force to clear them out. A small piece of wire usu does the trick.

Oi, tente este site
Skipper Rob, thanks for the very well done video. I have the same Honda 8hp four-stroke that needed an impeller replacement. Your video post timing was perfect for me getting this job underway. The step-by-step was very helpful and thanks for showing the replacement part number for the kit. Happy Boating Brother!
Thanks Mark, appreciate it! Glad it was helpful.
oh yeah... please do a video of replacing impeller and t-stat as the other ones on youtube are horrible!
just got a 2006 in trade a couple days ago... looks the same, but he could not get it to go in reverse... I saw why... and will fix it as soon as weather clears (I have no garage). Great video... thanks!
