- I talk you through what I feel are some very common mistakes that alot of new sib owners make on their first few trips out on the water.
Hopefully these tips will help you to avoid making the same mistakes I did!

Great advice. I would add: Check the weather and change your plans accordingly. Have enough fuel for rule of thirds: one third out, one third back, one third in reserve. Tell someone where you are going and when you should return. Use the kill cord, wear a life vest.
Yes very good safely info. Thank you. I think I'll do another video all about safety. 👍
All good tips. I would add: although the anchor goes over the bow when it is in use, stow it at the stern when not in use. It clatters about less. Those hinged wheels can be left in the neutral position so that they float on the surface of the water. Ever so slightly more drag than if they are fully raised, but they are less likely to be in the way of the engine when doing tight manoeuvres, and they are quicker to deploy when coming into the shallows solo. On a windy day, at very slow speed, the propeller effect makes the boat easier to turn one way than the other. Work with it: it's sometimes better to do an easy 270 degree turn than fight the wind to turn 90 degrees. Some boats have a drainage valve in the transom. Don't leave it open at low speeds or when anchored. Check and clean it from time to time. If you're setting up a boat with a sectional wooden floor, put the bow up on something (the fuel tank is ideal) before putting the last 2 sections in place.
Excellent advice 👌 thank you!
The number 1 mistake I often make is forgetting to attach the kill cord
Yep 100% that is crucial! That's tip no. 6 haha 😄
I usually forget to unattatch myself before leaving and taking the switch with me more than forgetting to attach the switch 🙄. Great content though!
Hi Adam thank you for that it's good to see you get out and about with our sib well done
Thanks Clive, I've not been able to get out as much as I would like haha, but hopefully will get some more trips out this year.
Yes Adam that if you have think like that
5 actually great tips.
Thank you. I'm glad you found it useful 😀
Really great tips
Thank you
Ty for that just starting getting into boating. Good advice to not get out. Had the experience in a canoe as a kid. We ran aground on a shallow sand spot and I got out to push it. It was sink sand. Was able to get out because I had loose water boots on but it got sketchy. Also learned to check the shore and wait before getting out if in a forest environment. The bushes sometimes have furry surprises
Wow glad you got out safely! Very easy to get into trouble very fast out there!
I fish out of Cook Inlet Alaska, in My 12ft inflatable, it's a safe, stable boat. The weather can change very quickly. So I head in before it gets too bad.
Hi! Thanks for watching. Yes, good advice. Always be aware of the weather and be ready to head in quickly if it changes for the worse.
great tips, thank you!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching 😀
Two years later this motor is going strong ruclips.net/user/postUgkxBZWgzfpS2Jj7JqIHyaSZjyVHNUgCKCBf Just uploaded a video of it after 2 years. We use it probably a dozen days each year on our small raft.-original review- We got this motor the other day and tested it out. I don't have anything to compare it to, but it seems good to me. It has all the features advertised - the motor housing is metal. We will see how it performs longer term and I will revise this review if needed. Some initial observations:- Good thrust, moves our boat around really well- It comes with a circuit breaker but no switch - so there's no way to kill the motor other than yanking the connection off the battery. I installed an inline switch.- The mount bracket is plastic and I worry it might break- There are a number of plastic parts that I worry about, but the most important ones are metal or some kind of composite
Thanks, yes it is 😃
Thanks are good information.. 👍
Thanks for liking
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Thanks for the video i will add one too do not forget to screw back the oil dip stick like me and put the motor in back of tour truck u will end up with a lot of oil and no extra oil too so you will be fishing offshore that day lol
Haha yes, thanks for the tip!
The last tip about the mud, yea I've don't that on a kayak the mud came up just below my hips and I had to crawl on my stomach to get to shore
Yeah, not fun getting stuck with the tide coming in!
Lmao I've done the same thing on a river if I wasn't holding on to the yak I would been swallow up by mud knee deep water rest is mud smelled really bad all the way up to my hip talk about panic mode
Thanks!
You're welcome 😊 thank you for watching.
Thank you
You're welcome. Hope these tips help you keep safe out there!
Yep, did 3 out of 5 :D
😄 yeah very common mistakes!
Dont forget you lanyards thats very important. If you fall out say bye bye to your boat lol
Yep! Very good advice! 👍
have prop out off water and row in and step out when in 8 inchs of water, that way you never damage prop. sibs ar so buoyant they stay on top small waves.
This is a good one, thank you!
I heard that vhf radio doesnt have good reception and dsnt take past 2 miles and at times reception a lot shorter and becomes useless, hows your vhf? Did you ever tested it? And what brand do you use?
I have a Standard Horizon HX300, it works well for me, I don't go too far from shore. I also always have my mobile phone with as well as a backup.
Nice video! What's the sib model? 270 ie?
Thank you 😊 it's the T32 ie3
That looks like felixstowe docks in the background
Yes it is! I launch from Harwich Beach.👍
I always attached a 2M tether to myself and boat. Also kill cord.
Yeah kill cord is an absolute must!
Hi I’m a new boat owner and what VHF radios do you use?
Hi, I have the Standard Horizon HX300 floating VHF.
👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
Hi inflatable angeling, we was thinking of launching from feilexstowe this weekend, as our first estuary fish, would you have any tips as i noticed you use the area often thanks in advance
Hi! Yes you can launch off the beach at Cobbolds Point. Just past the Fludyers Hotel. Its not really the estuary but is a good spot on a calm day. Check the wind and tides before you go out.
Sorry to ask what rod and reel setup do you have thanks and sorry keep. Asking lots of questions, thanks
Tried to beach my sib, but it stopped a few meters short. I stepped overboard expecting knee deep water, next thing i know, i'm totally submerged under the boat with the automatic safety vest hissing and pushing and disorienting me. Nobody saw it, thank God, but still very embarrassing!
Tip 6 : lose the vest as soon as it is safe to do so, or put it on manual deploy......
Yes! It's very easy to underestimate the depth and current! I'm glad you got out ok! Good tip about the vest.
Hi! Have you been pleased with honwave boat..ı am searching boat now, about 3.30 cm-3.5 cm . I have searched honwave and gala boat ,which one is good ı do not know.. ı am confused 😕
Hi! Yes I am very pleased with the honwave. It is one of the best on the market and has always been very highly rated for performance and safety 👌
Lol wheels! I've done that before
Haha! Yes I think we all have!
Hi do u need a licence for the vhf marine radio
Hi, it depends which country you are in, but yes in the UK you do need one. VHF portable license - Find out here www.ofcom.org.uk/manage-your-licence/radiocommunication-licences/ships-radio

Air Floor vs Aluminium Floor >?
Check out my other video: ruclips.net/video/aeXhp-aSBqg/видео.html
Yep did the wheels down one, only took half a mile to realise why my 6hp yam wasn't performing well 🫤😉❤️
Yep :) I think everyone makes that mistake at least once!
