Daj prevod na srpski!

I just bought a boat. It came with 2 motors. A 175hp and a 10hp. I have no idea how to operate a boat. It's set up for walleye fishing in the great lakes. It also came with 2 trolling motors and about $6k in fishing tackle. I bought it to help a friend of mines wife pay for his funeral. It's a ranger Cherokee. Looks like it came off the showroom floor. Immaculate shape. Now I'm trying to learn to operate it. I just brought it home from south Dakota to Texas. I can find all kinds of classes online for boater education. But nowhere to actually learn by operating the boat. So looks like I'll have to haul it to Oklahoma so another friend will teach me hands on how to operate it. He's familiar with the boat and has been out on it many times. So looks like I'll learn on lake texoma while chasing striper

Voice over is bought from Ai, just a hint, try and use a real persons voice.

1 or 2 or more it’s all about maintenance and having a clue of what you’re doing, unlike most with the $$$$ and no idea!

If you navigate in Cel Phone/radio reach(as long as you can give your position/if you got a GPS)), single engine enough. But way out yonder, a twin is more reliable, Even a Auxiliary trolling(Gas engine) will get you back. Fat wallet if you have to call for rescue

4 V12 Verados or 6 500Rs?

Outboards tend to be more reliable. Even in the days of 2 smokers

Excellent video!

Different situations will call for different trim. Don’t be a 🤡 and listen to this crap.

Two is always better than one.

Outboard is always the best option unless stern drives are direct shaft.

Stern Drive shows an owners inexperience boating. Do not buy a stern drive. Either by an outboard, or an inboard. No one is going to buy a boat on purpose as a stern drive. Also, no one‘s going to buy a four winns hull either. But anyone that has a stern drive typically, specially associated with the bow rider, is an inexperienced and novice boat owner has anybody with experience would buy neither. Get an outboard

If you leave your boat in salt water, try to tilt that sterndrive unit out of the water. Barnacle infestation ensues

security with 2 can save your life ... and that beats everything else ...

Excellent advice. Thank you.

For a fishing boat you definitely don’t want a stern drive if it’s not offshore fishing. There’s just no arguing that you aren’t happy crawling around in a few feet of water with a stern drive. You simply can’t pull it up enough to avoid damage while you can with an outboard. An outboard if left unlocked will ride up and over if you touch bottom. Sterndrive ain’t goin nowhere . In short you just shouldn’t go in shallows with a stern drive with it running.

Sorry, watched 8 seconds and had to shut that annoying voice off!

Trim it out right before it starts to “porpoise” on you, then trim in a touch till it planes out. I find this best for speed, fuel economy and ease of steering. Good lake conditions also, doesn’t work if your plowing through chop…

Having a twin engine is cheaper than loosing your life...

I’ve got all the basic tools to overhaul older mercruiser outdrives . They are built tough and easy to set up . They built millions of these things and most are given to me for free . Try the same for an outboard over 250 hp

Clear, accurate, step-by-step advice. Well done.

Nice, 0:33 into the video and I can clearly see my boats sterndrives 🙂

Tell this to truck drivers!

Thanks for the knowledge. Is the same principle also applies to vhf handy talky?

I used to have a Nissan 3.5hp years ago on a 10 ft. inflatable.

If you intend to water ski, wakeboard or any off the stern activity, the stern drive does offer a little more safety

Assuming twins with separate fuel cells, I’ll go with twins.

Please stop doing AI narration - It's a turn-off

Best video in youtube these days, straight to the point, no 20 minutes filling the pancakes experience! Definitely worth a sub.

Great information because when i go on plane my back of the boat lifts out of the water and my front is in the water

Very interesting :/

Thanks for making this Video, as an RF Engineer my boat's Ant is straight up, and I think I am the only one in the marina who has it set that way. lol

True ! Same goes for the antenna on your car. It may look more sporty but it makes things bad.

You lost me when you couldn’t pronounce “Verado”

Outboard is a an easy win. No real benefit to to a stern drive.

I feel like an outboard is the way to go if saltwater is part of the equation. Also later in the life of the boat you have to worry about gaskets and such. Outboards all the way!

For someone who switched from outboard To inboard can Tell that the Classic Stern Drive will be much cheaper To maintain ... And the reason IS pretty simple ... Cost of parts. Also outboard tens To need alot of spezial tools

for small pleasure boats, outboards today are leaps better than even 10 years ago. The problem with stern drives is the number of critical failure modes. We have muskrats on our lake, and they like to chew rubber. Not an issue with an outboard. With a stern-drive, there are multiple bellows that are just waiting to be chewed up. Your boat will sink. There is also the added complexity of the tilt mechanisms.

I know the difference out drive ,stern drive but what is the drive called when you have rudders and props?

Если катер позволяет повесить два двигателя 200 сил и весом 240 кг. каждый, я бы повесил один 400-500 сил весом 330 кг.

You go offshore, you have two on the transom, simple really, you want to become bilge soup or go home.

The amount of cost and time time to keep an sterndrive operating is significantly higher than on a outboard, its also a much more complex drivetrain prone for failure.

Twins are more maneuverable, and you have a backup if 1 fails. With Twin engines you can literally pivot in place something a single engine can only do with bow thrusters. I've owned both.
