- WE'VE CAUGHT THE GHOST!!! (ROTAX OUTBOARDS)
Some say Ghost's don't exist! We here at Team Marine certainly hoped that they didn't...BUT THEY DO! Finally we have caught the Ghost in our shop and Andy gives ya the full rundown of this brand new revolutionary outboard tech (BRP's words, not ours) Also, we downloaded the Operators Manual for this Underboard and read off some very interesting sections.
"How to start your motor if its fully submerged"
"How to start your motor if its semi submerged"
Both are very interesting reads! Haha
Stay tuned, you can't make this stuff up! Enjoy

BRP.... Be Ready to Paddle!
I can't believe they totally gave up on Evinrude for this pile of absolute Ghost junk. Why would anyone in their right mind even think of putting a motor powerhead underwater? This has to be the worst idea in the entire history of marine propulsion or maybe in the entire history of the internal combustion engine. BRP, if you're watching, go back to work on the Evinrude outboard and bring us something that really works well. I don't care if it's an improved 2-stroke outboard or an all new 4-stroke motor - anything will be better than this foolish thing. If you won't do that, at least provide those of us still running Evinrude outboards with a reliable stream of replacement parts.
I'm still impressed that you were actually able to read that bulletin with a straight face. That's like a legit stand-up comedy sketch!
You are forgetting the top 5 positives.
1. Fishoflauge color cause it is underwater
2. No wasp nests in cowling.
3. No fuel or oil costs after 3 months underwater cause it quits running
4. Never have to worry about resale value there is none.
5. Can,t think of number 5. Notice my comma in can,t is underneath.
I withdraw my comment there are no positives.@@Avv45
@@Avv45😂
Number 5: it can be used as an anchor when it fails.
Thanks Udamannee@@smannee
@@Avv45. Grow a pair, cant stand the heat keep out of kitchen.
As someone who witnessed this entire project & recently left Manitou/BRP, you NAILED this!!!! They are still pushing this as the best new product in marine and are saying they’ll have their best year in marine ever next year. It’s been a mass exodus there & has been very sad to see. Nobody in upper management knows what they’re doing & if they did they went unheard & left.
10/10 video, and also, they’re still producing a few every day, but they all go sit in the yard that they have to keep expanding because dealers don’t want more!
Wow!!! We would love to chat with you. Email us at speedmoneynobrakes@gmail.com please. Thanks buddy
That this has been a joke from the start more then 8 years ago.
Love my Etec, but they killed their outboard division for this? 😂
These will be in the hall of shame engineering and design files for years to come.
Oh my God, you are hilarious. After a shitty Friday, there’s nothing better than listening to you.
Please show more of this engine! I have got to see what a outboard motor internal bilge pump looks like?
I want an overboard with an under boat.
You are Y.T. GOLD! I love these videos!
I love your channel, always have a good laugh watching your videos, watching from New Zealand
I have a G2 Etec 150 on my Alumacraft 195 trophy. Came from a 1981 Silvan Sea Monster 17 with a 1984 Evindure 50 hp. That boat still floats and that motor still runs. Has some new parts but still runs. I am an Evinrude die hard. What has happened to them is a travesty
Johnny #5 Dissemble, No Dissemble!! 😂 💀 That’s awesome!
Lmfao! I wanna see you open one of these things up!
Andy you killing me!!!!🤣😂🤣
And I am definitely getting one of those along with square wheels for my new pick up truck lol
I am so glad i still got my 87 Evinrude made by OMC, still the best motor i ever owned, clean carbs every year, fresh good fuel and no issues.
That ghost submarine.. well they can stick that where the sun never shines and see if the seals hold up.
It was designed to be mounted where the sun don't shine.
@@smannee haha Good one so true🤣
I also have an 87 evinrude it's a 40hp and runs like a champ
BRP Should have stuck with What Worked. I like Many other people Still own a True Outboard. I have a 90 EVINRUDE XP 200. OMC Power that still gets the job done 👍
🤣🤣🤣 i was dying you read that!!!
Seriously though, i stopped in at a local Manitou dealer recently and they said sales are abysmal on this setup. Theres 2 in the Detroit Lakes MN area and its "stupid rich guys" that have them.
Lmfao you weren't kidding about the loon shit. That motor looks like its been on the bottom of the river since the early 1970s 😂
Lol😂
Thats it...i am buying one of those hats after this...and the beep guy needs a raise.😅😅
😂Come on man!! I want one on a ZEleventeen Natro!!!
We wanted to hear it run and take it for a ride!
I would have loved to be a fly on the wall in the first meeting that kicked off this concept. I'm thinking those guys from Impractical Jokers were somehow involved and they told the guy with the earpiece to say....."I have an idea, why don't we make an outboard that sits under the water". And the rest is history
It's worse than that... the Chief Engineer signed off on this pos while we couldn't even keep water out of the last pos he designed... the G2!
I like the name Rotax Submarine. It's unbelievable how BRP came up with this!
I think it could make a nice mail box ( wonderful for large packages)
Epic rant Sir!
awesome motor for a submarine! 😂
That is a prime example of that Wile E coyote genius right there.
BRP is GREAT! An underboard that under normal operation/design is to be submerged needs service ASAP. So... after you launch that brand new underboard into the water, the next step before starting and enjoying your day on the water, load boat back on trailer immediately and bring to dealer; rinse and repeat😆
😂😂 I love it
Go Andy for president 👍🏼
They won’t go broke on warranty because they’ll only have to warranty the 6 units they sell😂
I’ve got a friend that owns a dealership that sells Manitou. The company got one to him just in time for the boat show in January. It looked like a really cool idea at first because of the huge swim platform. He sold one, and won’t order another. He’s said that Manitou is trying to go to all of this futuristic looking stuff that he don’t think will sell here in Alabama. He picked up Trifecta to sell because of it.
i just saw one of these for the first tie on Lake Keowee!!!!
Oh this is gonna be good
what's the beep count in one ?! awesome!
Does that hood prop float for when u drop it in the drink?
How do you diagnose and repair with a board in the way and the engine underwater?
A chipped cowel and you have a sunk engine insurance claim.
Should have put a cobra I/o in it…. Love it
After watching this i did some more digging and there are a bunch of sensors and it has a actual self test that tests the sealing of the cowl and engine compartment. And the air intake is molded into the boat. With that being said these motors are not designed or manufactured to be a repower option. Its designed for a specific boats and thats it.
As soon as I get my 32nd stimulus check I am switching to this because it is the best thing since unsliced bread. You don't see the other 3 unnovating like this, and that's why they will be left in the future. Great vid but I was hoping to see inside the cowling....
Do they come with a tiller option?
Well everybody else is going overboard on their motors, BRP is going "underboard"😂
This video is epic
Andy for president!
We are proud of our nationwide brp dealers.
😂
Where's the nearest dealer ?
Cuz I wanna buy one.
Lemme guess....... Available through Amazon 😅
But can you tell us how you really feel about it??!😂🤣 Hilarious!! Best commentary ever! You forgot that even with the twins and docking, the motor would NOT hit the dock because you can’t put it in reverse😂🤣😂!! Priceless!! One favor…. You recently did a very impressive over/under on the Gator Trax bass boat. Can you also do one on the Gator Trax GT CC model.?
Effen Great Video
I wanted to see the bilge pump underneath the cowling 😂
"keep the speed lower than planing speed" 😂😂😂.....😢.....😂😂😂😂😂!
Wow brp way to build a anchor😂
I hear a remake of the AC/DC song Thunder Struck just for this motor….new song Under Struck!
Turned the Evinrude into that sad sad leaky underboard
I'm looking to mount quads on my Bayliner!!!!
Are you kidding me with that piece of well? You know what I am talking about
Glad to see there’s still a few people that tells it like it is and Andy is one of the best . You can’t make chicken salad out of chicken 💩 just saying 😂
Our switch (and just about every other one) has a constant drain on the battery and runs it dead in less than 2 weeks. That’s without keeping an ECU powered to monitor and run the pumps.
Wanna see it opened up!
I definitely will not be switching to a ghost, I’ll keep my 2 smoker opti 😂
BRP about to get (under) waterboarded 😅
What in the fu$% did i just read got me 😂😂😂
It's the marine version of the Edsel!
As a past dealer of Johnson/ Evinrude motors. I’m glad they dropped Evinrude name.
I believe this will be as popular and dependable as the “Sea Drive”.
So Andy, does this mean you’re not a fan of the new rotax ghost outboards? 😂 😂😂😂
Thank god they named it rotax and not evinrude
Seems simple to me. Fill the owners manual full of reasons warranty won’t cover it so all warranty claims can be denied. I am guessing the lost enough on the etec nightmare of warranties to find a way around that.
I have an under (water) board. It's required by the DNR to have one on every boat. It's called a paddle... 🤣🍺🎣
Andy I am going to repower my new tritoon with 3 of these. I plan to have two on the back and one on the front ( for reverse). When I'm not reversing I can tilt it up so I can see the front engine but not the back 2 engines. If I buy the engine bumper option, I will not need any traditional bumpers which will be a cost savings. I plan to run all engines off of one 12 Volt battery with solar panels mounted below the lifting strakes on the toons.
Speed, Money, no reverse !

Evinrude was once a good product. This new outboard is a total bust and it’s sad to see what’s happening. I hate it for the consumer who buys this thing.
TOTAL JUNK . EVINRUDE WAS GREAT WHEN I WAS A KID .
Evinrude is STILL GREAT ! I have a 90 Evinrude XP 200 That runs Great. Nothing like OMC POWER 👍 BRP ROTAX UNDER BOARD OUTBOARD, NO THANKS 🤣🤣
I'm keepin my 90horse "89 JonnyRude......best engine I ever owned.
Like a 2 stroke submarine. Omg
Now they have a twin engine version
I thought they made the inboard/outboard classification for a reason…. This is not an outboard 😂 Man love your videos…. Just when I thought BRP or Evinrude or whoever the fuck they are anymore couldn’t do any worse, they go and create this. Omc’s Ficht and BRP’s G2 are holy grails next to this. You’re right, only word to use is hilarious… 😂
They have dealer in Delaware and I haven’t see one on the water in Delaware or ocean city md
I think they had a idea back in the day, just sell rebranded Suzuki's.
15 seconds in "what the hell is that" o that's right evinrude
Of all my years as an outboard technician I would have never thought to put the motor under the water.
Saltwater would kill this engine for sure! And 5-year 500-hour service interval? That's a long time for fuel filters, gear lube, grease fittings, zincs etc. I would have thought the G2 failure was a wakeup call. Please do a video on how to service one of these "underwater nightmares".
LOL Twins
Are you trying to sell stock in BRP?
You gotta look at the bright side 😂. If you stick a snorkel on that thing and a little foam in the boat and you can drive it back to the ramp if it sinks😂
Should I buy the extended warranty on my mercury 4 stroke
Looks like they are hoping for sales to the Narco sub-builders, they are generally a one-trip affair.😀😀
F**king sh*t Beep beep love it lol… funny and real talk.. F**king speed $$$ no F**king brakes! 😝😝😝
Have the engineers ever been in a boat before?
I had to put a note in before I even watched the video . Bombardier is SPONSORING the Aston Martin Formula One Team..... Just noticed the decal on the drivers helmet.
I for one, AM going to change, I’m taking the 99 200 opti off my Bullet, and putting a 94 200 black max with a drilled exhaust, torque master, and a bobs nosecone 😂
Would be nice to see a video on what is going on inside. You talk about it, but never even take the cover (or whatever that thing is) off. Give us a video on how fun it would be to service one!
Manitou....lets design this pontoon with extra large pontoons to keep persons and gear out the water. Wait, where do you want the outboard to mount?
BRP...under the water. 😂
The very first images I seen of these I thought cool but after hearing of all the problems that are just waiting to happen I'd never ever consider buying one.
Watch, it's going to turn out to be the best outboard ever!
It would Literally take a Miracle for that to happen. IMO , I don't think it will. BRP SHOULD have stayed with what they had. Evinrude, It was a Proven product !
Old Evinrude motors were perfect. Some jerk just had to mess it up.
Real question is what does Andy hate more. Rotax or Force lol
Rotax airplane, helicopter and motorcycle engines are really great, why make something like this under Rotax brand, dont get it.
@@juhavuorinen6305why did they not just go jet boat with this. This technology is already around and is easily done. Its the same platform but no fucking engine in the damn water.
Did the engineers REALLY think that we would all be like "This is the best motor ever built"...........Jesus, they all need to be fired and not allowed to be part of ANY design jobs........EVER!!!!!
What about if you are anchored in waves or big wake boards boats go by. Better have some bad ass batteries to last all day anchored off.😂😂
I’m surprised insurance companies even cover these outboards.
This is Brps version of build back better.
I remember Ranger had an inboard bass boat. I think companies should reconsider that concept under back deck. Now that engines are all aluminum now. Get a contract with Toyota, GM or Ford. I bet engines would be cheaper since you can buy a 350 chevy engine for about 5k
That's a basic engine most 4 and six cyl engines are more like 8 to 11k without install and that is not complete.
I'm Back Andy . I'm NOT Switching for this Yellow Submarine Technology, NO WAY JOSE ! NO THANKS ! I'm Sticking with my Old School 90 Evinrude XP 200 2 Stroke on My Stratos 201 Pro. Comfort, Room & Speed. Most of All , Dependability. Starts , Runs Gets me where I want to go and back. Again, NOT Switching 👍
