Flush for 15 minutes not 5 minutes

You should ALWAYS take your top/fill plug out first. That way you know you can get it out and refill it.

Great video captain...

Lead In is TOO LONG! Lose it

Need more video on how you run and connected those wire to your battery and switchbox......

ABYC standard State that largest terminals go at the bottom.You stack from largest to smallest. It has to do with resistance of the small terminal on the bottom compared to the top one.. And wing nuts do not belong on a boat.

Yeah, this is the one.

Captain weekend, best name ever.

What is your opinion on using liquid electric tape on mending exposed metal wire? it's for an audio cable. Thanks.

Can't understand that won't this liquid get logged in between the flexible copper wire strands (imagine joining two 6mm copper wire ) thus caused the resistance to the flow of current?

Thank you. Very informative video.

how long should i run it?

Thank you

Would silicone caulk work

good video but do not use the white teflon tape. Use yellow teflon tape or pipe dope that is rated for fuel

what is it about fishing videos where I just know to skip the first 45 seconds - 2 minutes. EVERYTIME. I do appreciate the advice but man ya'll gotta cut back on the talking in the intros nobody listens to it anyway. I can see that on the analytics.

Chamfer the holes before screwing! Nobody likes stress cracks

You forgot to tell em about the one gallon paint can filled with concrete and a bent up piece of rebar . There's also a 5 gallon anchor storage container with plenty of space left for all your anchor line made by sherwinn williams thats sold seperately . And if you order one today we'll throw in a free solar clothes dryer that also works as an anchor line along with a Trump 2024 bumper sticker and a bottle of polish for your AR-15 rifle . Just dial 1(800) LIV-FREE .

I bought an air clooled 4 cycle. It idles and runs as smooth as glass and it's light and quiet. But thank you.

That was NOT very informative or hands on....

I don’t know dude. I am not trying to argue but holy shit flush it every single time you use your boat even in fresh water lakes? I don’t know any one that does that. In city water isn’t there minerals and shit in that too?

That style float switch is Junk! Water Witch is Better! Not endorsed by anyone.

Thanks for the great video

My boat almost sank

I think it's should be screwed a little bit higher 😂 I hope this was joke video 😅

I was so confused by how to get that front screw in. I thought about doing it this way, but wasn't sure if that was acceptable. Looks like a trip back to the boat is in order.

Great show and very informative and very well explained thank you very much from Sydney Australia 😊

I got the Quicksilver kit from Cabala's and everything came out great. Had to return to the video to find which plug to replace first. Again thanks.

Thankful for the information just wish that there was more light on the lower unit.🙂

What's the proper way to mount my new winch for my 14ft Jon boat

The heat shrink connectors are waterproof. No need for that black shit. Problem is, most use the wrong crimpers (just like you) and they tear the connectors when crushing.

My fitting on my 9.9 Johnson is leaking how to change it

can you use electrical tape and liquid tape together?

DO NOT USE GREY HOSE.

Thanks for the clear instructions.

What about the handle of the jack hanging down?

Thanks for the great video

Big help. Thx 💪🏼

Forgot to put the scope back plate on before the nut

Thanks Great Informing Video

what is the goo product name?

Thank you for your time and effort 👌

RIP Captain Weekend

The video is useful. As a layman, I still have two questions : (a) how to set the levels of the pump and the float switch ? which one should be set higher (less likely to touch water? and (b) I am anxious to drill hole onto my hull/ transom to fix the float switch - May I use super glue like Quiadsa FIJA + PLUS to fix the float switch to the transom switch ?

captain I have a boat that the only time the bilge pump can be activated is when main battery switch is in on positions I think the float for the bilge is not wired correctly, should be going to battery directly.cant see down in bilge what pump it is, but should I look for a brown/white wire at the switch, and route that wire directly to battery? thanks John

Hi Captain Weekend I had to do a modification to a Fiberglass 2015 Smuggler 6.20 Sport Cabin boat with a 2014 150 hp Yamaha Four Stroke outboard motor & we had a lot of problems with a lot of water getting into this boat & that my son Regan & I had to do something about it & this this was basically brand New boat & was a demo boat & only had 3/4s of an hour on the Yamaha Four Stroke outboard motor & I found out later the water was getting in through the bilge pump outlet & which later down the track it destroyed the toilet pump 1 day I could not get the boat on the plane & I couldn't understand why I couldn't get that boat on the plane after a few hours fishing & when I got back to the boat ramp & got the boat back on the trailer & drove the trailer off the boat ramp & took out the centre bung you should have seen so much Bloody water coming out of the bung hole it wasn't funny & even my daughter Melinda said Hey Dad that's a hell of a lot of water coming out of the boat especially a near new boat to & said yes that's a lot of water alright & when I got home & thought I would get the garden & put it the bilge pump outlet & turned the tap on just a little bit & you should see the water coming out of the centre bung hole & no wonder the water was coming into this boat & Bloody the bilge pump outlet is in the wrong place & so my son Regan & I decided to something about it & I took the hose off the bilge pump & the bilge pump outlet fitting & I tried to loosen the nut that was holding the outlet fitting but not successful & Regan had to break the outlet fitting with a hammer & chisel to get the fitting out & I had already marked where I want the new bilge pump outlet fitting to go up to the lefthand side of the boat & in that way I will never get any more water to come this way ever again & Regan had brought 2 meters of very good Quality bilge pump hose & 1 new bilge pump outlet fitting & I had marked up to the left hand side of the boat & then Regan put plenty of tape where the hole is going to go & I put plenty of tape up on the inside where hole saw going to go through on the inside of the boat & then Regan made the hole on the side of the boat & it looked good & then Regan cleaned up both inside & outside of the hole where the new bilge pump outlet fitting is going to go & then Regan screwed up the nut & Regan got me to hold the outside of the outlet fitting & once it was tightened up the outside of the fitting wasn't flush with side of the boat & so the washers that came with the side of the boat & so Regan cut one of the washers in half & I had made sure that the 1 half of the washer sitting at the top of the outlet fitting & Regan then retightened the outlet fitting & then found out the outside of the outlet fitting was still not sitting flush with the side of the boat & so Regan had to undo the fitting again & he put on the other half washer on & Regan the retightened the fitting & I made sure that the half washer & the other half of was also facing at the top as well Regan tightened up the fitting & this time the outside fitting was sitting flush with the side of the boat which this time it was sitting dead flush with the side of the & so it took 2 half cut washers to make the outside outlet fitting go flush with the side of the boat & the Regan undone the fitting again & Regan cleaned up the side of the boat where fitting & once it was nice clean Regan then got the silicone gun & got a lot of Marine Silicone on the side of the boat where the new outlet fitting was going to sitting against & Regan said to the to push against the fitting while I will tighten up the fitting & Regan had already had applied a lot Marine Silicone to the inside fitting & tightening up the plastic nut & Regan got it tight as he could & then came out of the boat to what the outside fitting was like & Regan had to do was clean up the excess Marine Silicone around the outside of the outlet fitting & it came nice to & I had a look on the inside of the outlet fitting & it looked really good to & all Regan had to do break the other outlet fitting & he used a hammer & small chisel & that was it & the outlet fitting came out easy & all we had to then was to wait over night for the Marine Silicone to cure & the next day I did the wiring of the new float switch as Regan had already Marine Silicone the base of the float switch & that's not go move all as Regan cleaned the area with White Spirits & wipe up the area with clean paper towels before Marine Siliconed the area where the float switch was going to go & all good now I did the wiring on the float switch I got 1 positive wire & connected to the main positive wire & goes to the dashboard main switch that's to the bilge pump & the other float switch wire goes straight to a waterproof fuse holder & the other end of the fuse holder wire & I have installed a proper clip & screws on to the positive side of the Battery with a 15Amp fuse I used electrical conduit to cover all of the wires & put cable ties around the electrical conduit & it is nice & neat & you don't see any wires at all & on 1 Saturday morning I took the boat to a professional fiberglass expert & got the original bilge pump outlet hole blocked up & then Sunday came the guy Rod who repaired the hole rang me to pick up the boat & wasnt not far from my place where his workshop is & had done a fantastic job of the hole & you can't see where the original bilge pump outlet hole was & Regan put the new hose on the bilge pump & I feed the other end of the hose to the new outlet fitting to the rear up side of the boat & I had to cut about 4 inches off the hose before fitting it the the new bilge pump outlet fitting & I tried it out & I put in the centre bung & I got the garden hose & put in where the bilge pump & float switch are & when the water triggered the float switch turned the 1100 GPH bilge pump on man you should how much force it pumping out the water is amazing & no leaks around the fittings either & when I turned the garden hose off & when the switch dropped down to off position the bilge pump turned off at the same time & there was still some water in the hull & so I just went to the Manual switch on the dash panel to the bilge pump & switch the bilge pump on & pumped the excess water out that was in the hull never again I will water coming into the boat like that ever again & it scary & had already destroyed the toilet pump up at front of the boat NZ $300.00 later for a new toilet pump all because the Bloody bilge pump outlet was put in wrong place & water would come in through the bilge pump outlet & putting the outboard motor in reverse would have been worse it be forcing the water even more into the hull of the boat & now ONE BIG PROBLEM SOLVED Kind Regards Peter & Keep Up With The Good Work Captain Weekend & Wishing You All The Very Best Captain Weekend

What if my old pump only has a brown and black wire

Can you post a parts list. What to oil your spline shaft with. What oil to use for the lower unit, and a link to buy the hand pump for the oil

thank u!
