I honestly don’t think it would be any worse for the dogs than a rainy spell as boats have to dock pretty regularly

Whats the IMP on those panels?

Nice to see Natalie back Safe from visiting family. Best Wishes to you both and the Pups, plus a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and all of your RUclips Channel Followers, from Bob In Wales.👍❤️⛵️🥂🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🍻🥂

This makes me so happy for you guys!!! lol

Moving the freezer was a nice modification. My one concern is the length of the wire and the gauge of the wire for the bilge pump. On my fridge, I needed to upgrade the 12-gauge wire to 10-gauge because I was getting too much voltage drop in the line, I would suggest, running the freezer on its highest setting and then reading the voltage on its display and comparing that to the voltage at the battery. Ideally, you want the drop to be less than 3% so if your battery is at 13.2v, it should be at least 12.8v on the freezer display.

You can use the hole in the floor and put a flush wall mount connector.the cover the hole with wood and looks factory.

We found this cool product at Home Depot called "bucket head" Its a Dry / wet vacuum that only cost us $55 CAD. It is just the head unit that mounts to a 5 gal. Home Depot bucket. Unfortunatly it is bucket specific. It doesn't seem to fit Rona / Lowes buckets. It was the cheapest way to get a wet / dry shop vac that is fairly small.

I’m thinking you might want to bungee your freezer to the table legs when you’re traveling to keep it from sliding around

I want to wish ya'll a Very Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 and Happy New Year 🎉! So until next time, Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii! Aloha and Cheers 🍻

Is it cold in New Bern? We haven’t had much good weather since Thanksgiving.

Whats the 1 year update? As a marine solar panel manufacturer I’d love to know

Covid? What's that?? 😃

you cant leave it on that outboard mount at sea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy to see that you went with the yamaha

You are stronger than you look. Yamaha is the best

Buy a lock 🔒 for that engine

Yamaha make good Outboards, and an important point with them is reliable Worldwide access to Servicing parts when you need them. The one thing I would consider doing, to help extend their service lives, is once the engine and gearbox are properly finished with the Breaking in - shift to using good Synthetic engine and Gearbox oils, which are so good if you use them prior to break in, they may never be able to break in properly.There used to be Warnings with good synthetics to only use them after break in is complete, and I haven’t even seen it mentioned for a while - and the Same goes for inboard Diesel engines and Gearboxes as well. In the USA Mobil One was really Cheap in WalMart, but horrifically expensive here in Britain, but here, at least as good Golden Film Synthetics, were brilliant value. James, make sure that engine is securely locked down at all times. May it serve you and Natalie Really well during its very long Service Life. Best Wishes. Bob.👍🌟🌟🌟❤️⛵️

No surprise that it was a 4-stroke because you bought it in the US. 😉 You defiantly want to use the davits to lift it because they do not swim. I am curious about your motor mounts. When you replaced them, it did not seem like you did an alignment. Have you done one and if so, what improvements did you see in the sound and vibration.

Check your manual to see if Yamaha recommends ethanol free fuel. It's a little more expensive, but the carburetor will love you for it...

Unless you are a sailor, you can never really understand the excitement of a new outboard for the dinghy. Congrats on the new motor. Can't wait to the adventures you have now that you have a fast and reliable motor.

James you have purchased a great brand of outboard. However, and this is no criticism, but I find from what I have seen on just about all channels, most people go and buy things without asking viewers advice. Did you know that you could have bought a 9.9 hp 4 stroke Yammy which has tons more torque than the old 9 hp 2 stroke and that would have been sufficient? You proved that because you have only run your 15hp at half throttle and look how it performed? A 9.9 4 stroke would have given that same performance. I know because I swapped a like for like 2 stroke for a 4 stroke. I couldn't believe the difference. Further you could have purchased a 9.9 4 stroke Yammy and just replaced its carby with a 15hp model and ended up with a 15 hp model and saved heaps. That is what Yammy did for years. Just put on a bigger carby, which increased the hp and charged way more for it. I'm not rubbing salt into the wounds but a 9.9 weighs far less as you know and is more easily handled. But here's the good news. You can upgrade yours to a 20 hp model. Exactly the same engine just with a bigger carby. You and Nats could water ski with that! LOL.

Well heck, now we cannot hear you coming!

It's more interesting to see where you're looking rather than the reverse, and leaving that 100lbs hanging on that rubber boat transom while it's on the davits is not as good an idea as rigging pulleys to bring that thing aboard.

I have an absolute dislike for "product specific connectors" that conform to an industry standard by other manufacturers.

Good choice going with Yamaha--You may want to pick up a pad lock to use when it is stowed onboard--those holes on the ends of the clamp screw handles are for locking them together when facing each other. If they can't unscrew them , they can't steal it !! Just a thought .

We saw you at the vet day @tractor supply! We are on the Elan with the pirate flag behind you 🏴‍☠️

The teak looks great! Awesome job, James!

Your teak oil is not a stain it's an oil. There's no color in good teak oil. Sorry for the bad news . Keep up the great work

I think that teak oil does not "stain" the teak but rather brings out the natural teak color like a varnish on wood.

It is amazing how the teak is that dry the oil just soaks in it. Looks great you did a good job kudos

Congratulations on your new motor! Looks like a beast

James I do understand your wish to make your Teak look like new. However, in my opinion after spending 30 years trying to keep my Teak looking great, I just decided to let it age and scrub it with salt water every now and again. Continually sanding those toe rails will just end up as thin as tooth picks. So far as Teak oil is concerned, it is just snake oil. ,Teak is naturally oily that is why it doesn't rot so it will not absorb your "Teak Oil". Waste of money and effort. DON'T EVER stain Teak... YUK. Teak is beautiful naturally and too oily to truely take stain in any event.

About 20 yrs ago there was a guy Melbourne FL, put on scuba and removed boat anchors and replaced with cinder blocks, went downstate to sell them, he got busted though.

Danish Teak Sealer - I gave up on varnish years ago and have been using this and love it!!! Prevents bacteria growth, mold, and mildew!!! Get it from TotalBoat. TotalBoat Danish Teak Sealer saturates wood grain deeply. Simply brush or wipe onto clean, dry teak or other woods after cleaning, let it sink in, wipe away the excess, and let it dry. Maintaining the finish is simple: Just clean the surface and apply another coat as the wood weathers. Repels water and doesn’t make surfaces slippery when wet.

No experience sailing An older boat How do I afford insurance ?

I hope you are using Semco sealer for your teak. It is the only one I have found to last.

PS. The other advantage with Teak Oil, that comes with feeding the wood is no Sanding, retained grain texture that is maybe enhanced a bit which seems to improve grip as well ?Well worth trying imho, though from now on, no wood at all on Deck, and feet and knee friendly brilliant white non slip instead to reflect the most damaging Sunlight I can. Bob. 🤔🌟🌟🌟👍⛵️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧

James! What a legend doing all that cleaning! Must feel good, and Nat will love it when she is back! We miss you Nat! We hope you are loving your time with the family.

McDonald Coffee is good! lol, love you cats.

I have used a 2 part epoxy, really clear araldite from Bunnings. Sand down a piece of spare teak to get the dust and mix it in with the epoxy to make a teak paste. I have had some in a couple of really deep cracks for 4 years and it is still good.

BY FAR THE EASIEST WAY TO TREAT TEAK IS TO USE SNAPPY NU TEAK 2 PART CLEANER AND THEN USE SEMKO TEAK SEALER. APPLY 2 COATS OF THE SEALER ONCE A YEAR AND IT WILL LOOK NEW FOREVER. SUPER EASY TO DO. NO SANDING.

Rejuvenated teak looks the best if you can afford to get someone else to do the dirty work.

Hi James. I must admit, after getting disabled, I gave up on Varnishing woodwork on deck, and after removing it, switched to feeding the wood with Teak Oil instead - a decent reasonable cost Teak Oil, I found in Walmart, West Marine had a lovely golden Teak Oil, but heck that was expensive. Possibly other known good Wood feeding Oils like boiled Linseed Oil will work as well ? All the Best . Bob in Wales. 🤔🌟🌟🌟👍⛵️

Thanks for a good video. Am I alone in being a bit concerned that the tank, which weighs over 1/2 a tonne when full, isn't fixed in place? No problem when boat is upright, or heeled 30 degrees, probably ok at 60 degrees. At 90 degrees?

You guys are special, that is why people give back.

The other couple in New Bern is All Hahn's on Deck

It can be really dangerous keep head out from car windows, never knows what might flight to eyes.
