what an amazing practical opreation.
In Montgomery Burns's voice, "Excellent." 🙏
Jon Mendes is the Bob Ross of yachting :)
I think John Mendez just does these videos to show off his fancy boat.
i dont even own a boat but i still watched the whole thing
Same ere 👍🏾 🤣🤣
This is the most illustrative, easily explained guide I've seen. Thank you for this!
I have watched several of your videos and I am so happy you provide them to those moving up in boat and amenities!
Great video!
Wish the weather was always like this!
Very informative. By the way what’s the name of that vessel in the video? What type of boat is it?
Excellent video. Thankyou.
Nice unit. Nice boat also. Bow thruster would've made things much easier back in the day but didn't know about em. Had a 28' Trojan cabin cruiser. Wood lap hull. Smaller boat but a money pit.
Just the way you practice emergency procedures in an aircraft, go out to an open area where you won't bump into anything and practice and get used to the controls and how they react and feel before you use them in a confined area.
Very useful and educational videos.
Thank you.
Please make one video about boat thermology.
All parts name and section name of boat .
Full boat parts name please.
Thank you
Cool instructional video.
Thanks Francis, glad you liked it!
Are there thruster options with green/red arrows on the controls reversed? In North America, it is "Region B" for buoy colours, so port is green and staboard is red. All I see on vessels is the Region A style.
How does a single pilot (no crew) tie off a boat like yours alone? I am thinking that you are using the thrusters to dock off nicely when you have a crew to help you, but what if you are running the boat alone and there are no dockhands to help? I am concerned about the part of leaving the boat unattended to tie off the ropes.
Dear Skipper John
Excellent video
very educational and kept simple. brilliant to use the drone !
Hi Jon,
Another helpful video. Thanks. Any chance that you will be attending the Miami Yacht show next week? It would be nice to meet you.

Great video, thank you
A+ great info and production.
would be interested in your method for berthing a small boat (7 to 10 m) single outboard and no thrusters. My instructors have had conflicting techniques for this.
Turn the rudder or sterndrive so the stern will power away from the pier when you set the throttle(s) in gear and at the same time you use the bowthruster to power away from the pier. Then you will move sideways away from the pier as if you have a sternthruster too. Just practice so you can learn how your boat behaves. Some may have strong engines and weak thrusters. Use only one engine if you have two ore more engines. And just remember that you will also move a little bit forward. I use this quite often and i always back the boat a little so I get some momentum backwards before i set the gears forward. Then the motion back will cancel out the slight forward motion you will get. Once again, every boat behaves differently so get to know yours first.
Could he have turned the steering wheel to port reverse with thruster?
Thank you, that was very informative and told in an easy to understand way.
Every time I see videos like these, it reminds me of how poor I am. That is a nice boat.
If you do some courses to qualify as a deckhand you'll find local yacht clubs and cruiser people looking for a hand on board. There are adverts in my local marina, by skippers and by deckhands. It means you can get out in the water, you'll have to work a bit, but they get free crew and you get a free trip.
@@darthkek1953 I'm too old to be a deckhand. I can only be a boat ho at this point.
Thank great video.
WELL EXPLAIN THANKSS
Can you please tell me the length of your motor yacht? It's a beautiful machine! Might be a bit much for my first one.
Are thrusters electric or others
Which kind of boat you got there?
Sunseeker San Remo 48 2014
What boat is that?
brilliant!
:-)
Good!
I'm at a slight loss: Fairline offer a bow thruster as an option with their Targa Volvo Penta IPS boats, but why would one need a bow thruster if the boat's equipped with IPS with an EVC joystick? Surely the IPS/EVC functions do everything that separate bow and stern thrusters can do (and more!)
I'm no expert but I think the joystick control is very aggressive and causes wear on the gearbox. I think the bow thruster or better still a bow and stern thruster is better for the gearbox and promotes learning of the rudimentary skills.
🤔 what's the purpose of the bow thruster stick. When you have the IPS stick right there with all the functions?
Nothing wrong with more tools in the toolbox.
What boat is this
How do you move sideways bow and stern using only bow thruster and throttle?
@Ng John You can. Its very easy to bring a boat along side with just a bow thruster and 2 screws.
Even with one screw you can. If you whant the boat to move to port, you thrust to port and kick your engine with the wheel hard to starboard . It might take a bit of practise to master, especially with this "on/off" thruster, bit it is possible.
Which boat was used in this tutorial?
Is a SunSeeker for sure.
I'm buying a 37 foot center console, 10 feet wide and the slip where I gotta put the damn thing is is only 12 feet wide, gonna get some thrusters installed on that
a bowthruster for a small boot like this? means the owner cannot manöver! and i think this boot will have two engines, for what then a thruster?

Sunseeker portofino 48

Not quite understanding every word, but then I am an American. LOL
CZcams Pro Staff out heavy on this thread.
Just one thing: loop of the docking line goes on the dock cleat and you trim the line from the boat!
That’s the way you do it.
Fine.
@@rickyricardo4718 Well, it's not me, it is just established a long time ago good seamanship and safety! Just saying!

People should rather learn how to operate a boat without a thruster.
MemoryLaneCinema why if it’s available? Use every tool to make life easier.
What the hell is a "fruster"?
too much use of steering wheel...in port just use your engines
he is wearing a life jacket messing around in a small area, i'm seeing a red flag here!
Got enough fenders there? lol
Pointless use of thruster...there is no wind and no current...could have all been done by the mate. Wait...it's twin screws? Why even have a thruster?
I would have parked that there with one engine and no thrusters - by my self alone! ;-)
How long does it take you to get to work using your horse and buggy?
@@chefdan87 how would it take you to dock that fly by wire boat when ya blow a fuse...if you can't dock just on engines then ya just a asshat with a boat... You're not a Boater...
@@chefdan87 Youre just completely stupid.

Awesome video, thanks.
