    Really helpful mate, interestingly the majority of repairers turn out to be simple. Thanks for putting your knowledge out, you always keep it simply. I recently did my 3 carbs saving myself labour cost. Carb kits were $120.00 for the 3 and I was quoted $325.00 all up. So I saved $ 205. Aus dollars from watching you. Awesome

    Ok, I will admit I'm late for the party! But this video was very educational. I'm currently looking for a jon boat and small tiller engine (9.9, 15, or 25HP). Before this video, I looked at tiller motors as a very complicated mess that needed to be a new model and to look pristine in order to work properly. I see I was wrong. A motor can look very rough and be older, but still have plenty of life left in it. Thank you for teaching me this sir. Will subscribe.

    Love the foot wear for engine work. Who needs steel toed boots.

    Love the channel bud! I dont have a boat but my dad did when I was a kid. After watching your videos I realize how much the dealer was overcharging us for basic maintenance. Poor pop, it was one of the reasons we sold the boat.... btw your yard could use a wee bit cleanup, not judging, just commenting.

    Great coverage on all the motors. I’m partial to Yamaha but the Tahatsu interests me!
