RotoTech Kontra 450R
The Rototech Kontra 450R is a purpose designed rescue craft that has more deck space and stowage than a 6m RIB. Seakeeping is also far greater than a 4.5m boat should have.

Propeller Swap
Просмотров 237Год назад
Our new Roto-Tec Kontra 350R struggled to plane 2-up. The extra weight was just too much, so we tried a different propeller. By changing from the standard 4 blade 9x9 Honda propeller to the Polar Storm 9.25 x8 transformed the boat, she nows planes easily with two big blokes and all our safety gear.

Where can I buy it in India?
I have no idea. It is an American system.
@@simoneverett6081 Can you help me with one question, where is it in America please?
@@hashimp8945 On the internet.
hello, what engine pushes the contra?
In this video the Honda 20hp. It also works with a 10hp if running solo. Adventure Safety Boats successfully tried the Kontra with the Honda 10hp with Polar Storm 3 blade 9 1/4 x 9 propeller, this put the Kontra on the plane with 2 big men and some gear.
What type of filter do I need and oil type
I use the HiFlo 151, it is perfectly good and fits the F650 single cylinder engines too, which is basically the same engine in a slightly milder state of tune. For oil Silkolene 15-50 has kept my X Country well for over 50,000 miles now, the actual numbers will depend on your climate. Cooler climates will possibly prefer the 10-40 but there is a good deal of leeway because the temperature ranges overlap quite a bit. If you can't get Silkolene, other similar specified oils will be fine. API SL is the minimum specification.
this is a great video at my club we usually shoot paper but were ging to a bell target competitioin an di have never seen pne before
Love your dog pictures...Brian
Had an F650 Funduro. That Rotax big single cylinder was glorious. Probably the bike I enjoyed most after so many before it.
Why do you use that rounded deburring block instead of a flat one (5k stone for example)? In theory, to get rid of the burr, you would also remove the "ride line" surface down to "just a line". Thank you! (I am impressed by your work, and your comments below - I have lots of other questions for you!)
It is for the curvature of the blades. Place the blades of a new pair of scissors on a flat surface and you will see they are not flat, but curved. Using a flat stone removes different amount of material along the length of the ride line. It eventually makes the blades flat, when they shouldn't be. The blades are held at an angle on the block too, and the opposite way for left handers, so as ot follow the curvature of the blade.
Beautiful dog. Life is so bloody cruel at times.
Challenging the sea 😮
Not really, well within operational limits.
Excellent Simon, very clear, always a bit of a faff with these engines. Although I never use them (but will now I've found them) torque setting are - Oil filter housing 10NM, Drain plug 40NM, Drain plug to oil tank 25NM and Bash plate 10NM. Cheers & happy riding!
What a wonderful life, I'm so sorry for your loss 😢
Sofa, hunting, cuddles, companionship, comfy beds, exciting days out. You gave that dog a perfect life. So sorry it ended the way it did. When you die, you know you're in heaven when you are woken by every dog you ever owned licking your face.
RIP Tigs A life cut short.
Very sorry for your loss Simon
What are you using the case for?
Easy storage in the motorcycle pannier. It just keeps the sharp corners from catching stuff, matches/lighter can stow in the CD case too so everything is together tidy.
Cracking shots simon
Did you record the whole « After All » song ?
What are you using for for your “de-burring block”?
They are curved rubber blocks that hold the abrasive papers in place. They come as part of the kit when you buy the Ookami Gold system.
What grit wheel do you use for scissors, Simon? I would assume you'd use a fairly fine grit for fabric scissors, but I just need confirmation. Cheers!
For the hair scissors it is 800 grit diamond wheel. For dressmaking or tailoring shears it is a different wheel altogether as the sharpening technique is completely different. The standard commercial wheel is the one to use, the diamond wheel is too expensive and good to use on heavy scissors.
Thank you very much for the briefing, Simon! I found an old pair of tailoring scissors in my father's shop and would like to use them if I can get them sharpened up. They're kind of rusty so I need to do a wee bit of grinding, but that shouldn't be too difficult! Thanks you very much for the help!
Use the same technique to put the edge on BUT, instead of honing on the block, cut the burr off for tailoring shears. Maybe that is another video for another day! Put the edge on ONE blade, keep the blades open and spread them apart. Close them gently without allowing the blades to touch each other until closed (keep them spread as you close them). Now open them normally, this folds the burr back. Sharpen the second blade and do the same to fold the burr back. Then cut the burrs off by using some cloth to cut against, an old tee shirt or similar.
you made that look so easy . .
Practice makes perfect!
Hi Simon thanks for taking the time to make this video, clear concise and informative. A quick question if I may, does the twice as sharp do everything you need? A lot of videos I see they flat hone machines. There is so much information out there, mostly USA, it would be nice to get a British point of view😀. I’ve watched a lot of Wolff videos, did you have hand on training? I’m in Australia and training is thin on the ground here. Thanks in advance
Tony, the videos are a very good starting point. They teach you everything to do standard resharpening - cheaper than going for formal training (hindsight is a wonderful thing!) just buy some cheap hair scissors off e6ay or boot sale... and practice on them. All you really need is confidence that the system does work! The Ookami is perfect for hair scissors and dressmaking shears up to about 10", which is 95% of everything. Flat plate hone is just another way of doing the same job. I prefer the Twice as Sharp and have used papers from an abrasives supplier - they are A4 sort of size and I cut them to size with a guillotine that is ued to use for photographic paper. 3000 and 5000 is ideal.
@@simoneverett6081 Thanks Simon, yes I believe for correct, did my first pair for a hairdresser last week and she was very happy. I struggled with getting the angle from the scratch test “perfect” but after settling for an angle and finished them they turned out fine. I sometimes worry about the other 5% instead of concentrating on the 95%. Thanks for the paper tip. I have the Wolff blocks and like then. Thanks again for taking the time.
@@Tmacn Re the scratch test. I use a loupe (10x magnifier) to help me get the correct angle, but as you do it you will get to know the feel and hear the difference between right and wrong. Use your ears as well as your eyes. When the angle is correct the scratch test runs much more silky smooth, and is quieter, than if the blade is at the incorrect angle. It is also important to ensure the blade is at 90 degrees to the wheel - I mark the wheel with a little spot and if the tip and root are touching the same part of the spot, you're good to go.
What motor?
Very nice video, thank you! Little bit too fast changes between pictures.
Thank you. My first attempt at doing something like this. I shall try to do better next time! Meanwhile, you will have to use the pause button.
Awesome! Thanks a lot Simon!
😂diesel
I sold her in 2017, so you are a bit late with your quip!
Howzit, did you install your fish finder just before the front hatch?
Ohno, the hull is accessible on the Kaskazi kayaks with a purpose made conduit for the transducer cable through to the aft hatch where the battery box is fitted when the boat is layed up. The centre console is also designed to take the fishfinder tucked in under the wave deflecting foredeck with a deck gland to bring the power cable and transducer feed to the screen. It is all purpose made when the kayak is built.
You don’t appear very well prepared for sea. Your Attire, stuff not lashed down, other stuff open. Ropes not stowed properly.
Fair point. Plenty good enough though. That bag has my foulies in it, and it is lashed to the boat by 4 straps. The painter is made fast to prevent it going in the prop. So I consider I am prepared sufficiently for this passage.
I got a question for you I've decided to try to monetize sharpening I'm struggling on getting my name out in my community do you have any ideals that have worked for you to get your name out there quickly
Justin, I think my answer will depend largely to where you are in the world. Here in conservative, middle England my approach will be different to a large conurbation in USA, for example. What I have found is that there are a host of new starters taking shortcuts and doing a shoddy job. These tend to be 'walk in off the street' sharpeners who travel widely. I have had three emergency calls from clients who said, 'OK then, seeing as how you are here'.... Simon, and they admitted what had happened, can you rescue our scissors? The 'walk in' had been rapid, grabbed the money (cheap, about 40% of my price) and gone. Left no card or means of contact.... he had ruined the edges and I had to reestablish them. Do a good, proper job and your name will start to become known and trusted. It has taken me about 5 or 6 years of regular Facebook posts to get to the place I am now. I have been sharpenign for a lot longer. make regular contact with your customers, not just when they need their scissors doing - it is a personal relationship thing that you have to build and that takes time.
@@simoneverett6081 well I am in the US and I do thank you for your time and for the short amount of time that I have been in Salon sharpening I've seen a lot of people complaining about people who claim to be sharpeners and coming in and ruin their shears I usually offer to fix them for free to help them out and help get my name out in the salon
@@wowdancemix Doing it for free is undervaluing your work. I know you have to get their confidence, but get paid for doing a proper job - they paid the guy who ruined their edges! Try telling them you are happy to rescue their scissors, the price will be, whatever you charge, but only if they are successfully sharpened. Offer to do one pair as a trial and if they are happy with them, then you will do the rest - maybe offer a job lot price if there are several pairs. NEVER give discount on the first job, discount is for loyalty. Think about the banks who give treats to new customers, but nothing to their existing ones - how do you feel about being treated 'badly' in comparison to new customers who have given no loyalty to the bank? The same psychology is at work with the salons.
Killer whale?
Great job! 👍 Just wondering how to get them out at the same place.
The same system, in reverse. Lift the boat by the leg of the engine and lever it onto the hard. Remove the engine and take it to the lock-up. Take boat back to the lock-up.
There has been rougher water in the bath
I am glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching.

Thank you.
Very good Simon
Cheers chap!
same feeling i can't wait for the season to be here again and get on the water, where are you guys from.
We live in Staffordshire, England. The sea is 150 miles away!
Quite a neat video, your 9.9hp sounded more electric than motor very impressed. Had to be very early summer morning to have nobody around for so long to. I have a MotorHome so I doubt I would get that in the car park to off load my S.I.B Honwave t38ie3, I blow mine up with a leaf blower and use a hoist for engine and boat, I’m only a tiny feller lol. Thanks for sharing Ray K UK 🇬🇧 YNWA.
The early bird catches the worm!
Tought I was going to be viewing a Killer Whale while you where in your SIB, I have to admit I am getting myself a Honwave 3.2 T IE. it scared me seeing you in that see especially when you had the waves at your flank. I was at Ullapool on a calm day that changed very quickly i tried to go at a 45° angle but one wave knocked me on the flank the next was come up right after and tipped me over board luckily i managed to get myself only 80ft from sure when it happened . Kindly the life guards took me out for my inflatable Kayak a really good one to, I was so lucky to have a really good life jacket or I would be a gonner now. I worry not getting back to where I went out if the waves are constantly at my flank even zig zagging can tip you, I guess your experienced but all the experience in the world cant help you all the time. Thanks for sharing thanks for SCARING lol. Ray K. UK. YNWA.
Sweet bike, sweet scenery! Very jealous.
Thank you. We are lucky where we live.
lement faild to initialize OpenGl.
It works fine at my end....
Can u use alcohol instead?
I would think so. Provided it is volatile enough to vapourise in the generator. I don't know how hot the flame would be though, or how altitude would affect the flame temperature either. One problem with methylated spirit (alcohol) is it runs much cooler at high altitude. I use pure naptha, in the form of 'panel wipe, from a car repairers. Coleman white gas is also pure naptha, but is 4 times the price!
No
Very cool. Looks like you have your stuff together. I thought you were flying the drone ? Solar electric setup, 👌
Sorry for the delay in replying, Tony. I have been working away on the water. Yes, I am flying the drone. I just set it on circular flight pattern and let it do it's thing. The solar panel is for keeping the Lowrance fishfinder / chartplotter battery topped up. In hindsight I should have gone for the next size up, it is actually the same size panel but with more sunlight catching strips on it.
Very interesting video - thank you :) The sound is very bad unfortunately, so can't really hear you because of scratching noises :(
I'm sorry about that. I think my microphone has reached the end of days!
Is this the same Simon Everett who used to paddle Dorado kayaks .. if so ... Hi .
hello to you to! Yes the very same.
Never seen this model before? What is it? Age? Regards
I shall have to find out for you. Late 70s at a guess.
Nice vid. How long did it take you to set the boat up ?
From start to finish, without filming, I can do it in about 20 minutes. Filming takes double that because of going to and fro so many times!
@@simoneverett6081 it take me about that time to. To just blow the boat up is about 10 minutes or less but I use a baby leaf blower.
I'm fortunate to have the same rifle. Tack driver.
Any way we get um in! 😘
