Tohatsu 6hp Outboard 4 stroke valve adjustment.
Working on a 2006 Tohatsu 6hp outboard. It was backfiring and was super high idle from someone messing with the idle screw. The coil and fuel pump are very weak. In this episode I tackle adjusting the valve clearance and trying to figure out what is going on?

Mercury 90hp diagnosis
Diagnosing a Mercury 90hp with Ron. We found that the #3 Cylinder is dead with little to no compression. It also doesn't have fire on the #1,3 & 5 cylinders. Ron said it ran but it also has a bad Stator. Maybe able to save it but at what cost.

Can you read upside down
Went fishing again this week. It was cloudy fairly windy and as far as the bite. There was no bite. But, I wanted to share a few pages from a 1968 manual for a Johnson evinrude 6hp. The second page describing how the ignition system works on those coils, breaker points and condensers. The second page was scanned upside down. I am pretty certain they did it on purpose.

Viking Battery Tester Review & Johnson Tilt and Trim Diagnosis
My brother bought a Viking Battery Tester analyzer and I liked it so much I bought one too. Also, diagnosing a tilt trim problem on a 2000 Johnson 90hp outboard. Seems the trim unit had lots of water intrusion. The electric motor died.

The tale of two Tritons Compression test 4 pin CDM test
In this episode, I tackle two different boat repair challenges. First up, a 2000 Triton bass boat with a Mariner 150hp engine. Despite good compression, only cylinders #3 and #4 were firing. Join me as I diagnose the issue and discuss plans with the customer, Tim, who has another motor with new parts.
Next, I delve into a chaotic scene with a 2000's Triton aluminum boat sporting a Mercury 50hp engine suffering from power loss. Tools scattered, starter solenoids abound, but the real culprit? A faulty ignition switch! I replace the solenoid and pinpoint a weak coil in the 4-pin CDM, causing trouble in the #1 cylinder under load.

Unveiling the Truth: Diagnosing a Blown Motor in Nashville Winter 2024
It snowed pretty good here in Nashville with the start of 2024. I have an Evinrude 150hp that was brought to me. It has a hole in the boat so the boat is going to scrap. Was asked to take a look at it and see if its salvageable.
I need to first get the trim unit working to get the motor down. Once I did that I was able to get the top cowl off and see what was going on. The motor was siezed and I discovered the #3 piston had exploded. The trim unit and the gearcase and maybe the flywheel is the only thing salvageable.
Thanks for watching.

Grey fuel line disaster starter and starter solenoid issues will it run
Join us in the practical process of upgrading the fuel line. While salvaging the connector and fuel bulb, we swiftly replace the worn-out line with a brand new one. The Grey Fuel line, when exposed to heat, takes on a shrink wrap-like appearance, causing a significant obstruction in fuel flow. To ensure durability, we opt for a high-quality OEM solenoid from my collection, steering clear of the commonly problematic cheap alternatives.

Replacing the steering wheel on a Champion bass boat 202DC
The original steering wheel showed signs of extensive wear and tear, prompting me to invest in a replacement for my 1999 Champion 202 dual console bass boat. As I embarked on the process, unexpected challenges emerged, revealing that changing the appearance of a steering wheel isn't always as straightforward as it seems. While the task wasn't overly difficult, it did require some know-how. If you're unfamiliar with the process, it might not be as easy as it looks. I hope this information proves helpful. Thank you for tuning in.
