Nice vid. Good tutorial. People don't realise, if them baring crack on route. Your going nowhere. And try finding boat transport in an emergency. Is hard. So as you so expertly demonstrate. Take care of things at home. Piece of mind is priceless....
Thanks again. I'm learning so much from your video's. You must really love this boat because i have never seen anyone taking care for his boat like you. I'm looking to buy one myself and after watching several video's of you ik know now very well how i have to take care of mine in future. Small thinks, great results. You're boat looks in very good condition. My compliments my friend.
Another great video. I blanked again today in Barmouth. 2 years of blanking now.......anyway. .. Thank you and Happy New year to you both. Tight lines for 2017.
Hi Graham,Great video as usual.Unfortunately the salt water damage is done to your trailer here in Australia after launching when your out fishing and the trailer is baking in the hot summer sun all day.I would run a product by the name of saltaway through your nice engine also. If my tinny is going to be laid up for a while I'll fully dismantle,clean and repack my bearings and hubs with fresh marine grade grease.Also it's a good idea to spray lanox or inox or something sold over there containing lanolin under the engine cowling every few trips. I really enjoy the fantastic videos you guys put out even though we fish differently here and for other species especially with bait. Cheers.
Your vids have been so much help to stating out with sea fishing so thanks so much to you and your team. Would like to sea a small boat drift fishing video like the one you did with your boat anchored.
Great vid. Looking to pick up one of these boats soon for the summer. I know nothing about boating but want to start learning and your vids are great. cheers
great videos ... what is common sense to some, is all new to another (like myself) , so these videos are invaluable, even down to how to use the boat engine ! or fish finder ... always always hunting these videos out. I am starting out from new so everything from knots to bait to rigs to what is the best conditions ! is all things I need to learn ( which I am through your channel ), many thanks again and hopefully more cooking your catch videos ! (I'm no Jamie Oliver lol)
Man for a second there I thought this was going to follow that fashion of annoying, distracting quick cuts that's plaguing youtube, but it turned out all right in the end, nice job guys.
I think I know what you mean.All those jerky,fast edits that are really just a fashion thing following on from what the television seem to do.I guess it will die out eventually and something new comes along(GP)
TAFishing Yeah those kinds of edits, I mean they have their uses like everything else and all but I'll be happy to see them gone, unless of course the next editing fashion 'thing' is much worse.
Really good common sense video! My Shetland 610 sits in the Norfolk Broads so has to be anti fouled. I didn't see anti foul on yours so assuming you take it out of the water regularly. They've removed all the public ramps here and those that are left are often costly and sparse making getting your boat on a trailer a very time consuming job with 4mph speed limits. I think most people just pay every few years to have their boat taken out for a couple of weeks for treatment. I have no where to put a trailer anyway.
Hi Graeme, Wow thats some work involved in keeping your lovely boat. I trust yourself and Mike had a lovely Christmas. Wishing you both all the best for 2017. Heres to more top class videos from you. Your the best. Steve in Fife.
Thanks,I'm just back from fishing on Wayne's 17 foot flyer off the Eastern Wight.We all got stuck in thick fog !...Quite an experience near large shipping,but another film to come featuring English small boat fishing !!.
Hi Steve, I had not idea surimi sticks were that soft. Bait elastic cotton cuts deeply into it. Tried cocktail of surimi with black lug and had no luck. They took fresh dug a lot better, but even that was slow going. =Man, these fresh dug bleed a LOT. = Everything worked against us that day. Good for tourists, not so good for anglers. Best wishes.
I had the same thought, that must be over 750kgs. My hull is only 300kgs and I have the same yamaha. But trailers and 150>200kgs, the when you add fuel and batteries, anchors, chain and rode is is surprising. Took mine to a weigh bridge at a local scrap yard and it was just over 750kgs. So I fitted an Alko axel with sealed bearing, flush kit and brakes. Take it and get it weighed Graham, better safe than sorry. Plus, with a flush kit and sealed bearings it is no bother. Also, try bearing savers, they are ace and keep grease under pressure in the bearing so water can't get in, I ran for 4yrs no problem.
robfnet glad it wasn't just me. Also depends on the towing vehicle used. Each car has an unbraked trailer rating. The vehicle didn't look very big, but I could be wrong. It's based on half the kerb weight of the vehicle for an unbraked trailer. Not having a pop Graeme, just thought it's better to be on the right side of the law should something bad happen. My old MK4 golf is only legal up to 600kg total weight Inc trailer, motor, gear, fuel etc etc unbraked..
How did you get into fishing boating is it for everyone ?I would like to learn to be a boaty but I'm not as spritely as I once was and I believe being a captain has a lot of responability to yourself and others
I've looked, but I can't find one...Could you do a Video of towing, launching, setting up, etc., please? Some of us Newbies would like to know how to proceed with our new(ish) Boat. ;-)
Top video Graham especially regarding the wheel bearings. I heard you were out with Wayne on thresher yesterday did you get any cod? Was east of nab next to the tesco carpark of boats on the fingers myself and managed one at 10lb, the fog was a nightmare
No Cod.......Dogs,Whiting,Pouting,a decent conger and a close encounter with something large in the fog .Quite an experience but I got some nice "moody" fog shots.Looks like the weather might close the door on Cod trips for a bit,but I heard of a couple of mid twenties caught and apparently plenty of Bass offshore on the drift.
+TAFishing yes I spoke to a guy at Northney at the end of the day and they had some decent bass on the lures drifting the banks,. looking forward to seeing the fog shots if you upload them
Graham 3,500 miles of towing. It may be worth checking the transom remember all those miles of towing with the engine attached. That's a lot of a heavy engin bouncing about on the transom. This video made in 2016 it is now 2018 almost 2019 that's a lot of bouncing.
I have often wondered about the strain an engine must put on the transom even on a trailer that's static.I trim mine down and rest the lower unit on a block of wood so it doesn't pull on the transom. Can't do much about the bouncing when towing though ...got to love the quality potholes we now have in the UK.
Hi Graham! I have a Wilson flyer with the same trailer as yours. May I ask you a few questions from your experience? Does your winch handle interfere with the bow when winched up tight to the bow post? Also, does the centre spar on yours bend? My trailer was taken apart for re galvanising just before I bought it & I am adjusting it all as it was put back together wrongly. Thanks for any help & keep up the great video’s! 👍🏻
Sidewinder. Favoured colour is called Rhubarb and Custard. Specially for Cod.The Pollack also take them in black,or try an American Black Bass worm ,its black but with a red tail.We call them a firetail.
I notice that its a bunked trailer as opposed to rollers. I've got a bunked trailer to keep my SIB on but I thought for a fiberglass hull rollers would be better ?? Is this your preference and is it better than a roller trailer for this kind of boat
Peter Gore Seer, I Put Redex In Petrol, That Boat Needs A Folding Down Screen, Its Just Acts As A Sail At Sea, And Front Ankor Hatch, But Its A Good Boat, I Dont Like Big Out Boards, But I Fished In Morecome Bay, With As A Few Rivers, Which Brings Drifed River Debris, If It His Hit At Speed Your In Trouble, I Cringe When I See Speed Boats Ratling 50MPH.
The weight of the suspension ? The units themselves ? Or what load they carry ?..I just changed mine and I think there were two sizes,a standard,and extended. If I recall I think it was over 500 kg...per unit .Might have been more I can't recall.
well done graham proper "old school" way of looking after you kit/investment, preventing failures and promoting maintenance and downtime!
Nice vid. Good tutorial. People don't realise, if them baring crack on route. Your going nowhere. And try finding boat transport in an emergency. Is hard. So as you so expertly demonstrate. Take care of things at home. Piece of mind is priceless....
It`s always a good idea to take care of what takes care of you. May the next year be a great one for you and yours
Great advice.
Thanks again. I'm learning so much from your video's. You must really love this boat because i have never seen anyone taking care for his boat like you. I'm looking to buy one myself and after watching several video's of you ik know now very well how i have to take care of mine in future. Small thinks, great results.

Graham an Mike thanks for all the years of vids ,all the info and for making the best fishing show out there.have a great new year ,Mat from wolves
great tips mate
Love these videos. As soon as I watch them I want to save and buy a Wilson flyer and get out fishing 👍👍
Another great video. I blanked again today in Barmouth. 2 years of blanking now.......anyway. ..
Thank you and Happy New year to you both. Tight lines for 2017.

Great vid, I like to drain the carbs after every session as well.
Happy new year!
Your hard work show's! Love the channel.
Your vids have been so much help to stating out with sea fishing so thanks so much to you and your team. Would like to sea a small boat drift fishing video like the one you did with your boat anchored.

Another greit movie!! THX My bout wait for it :)
cheers mate great advice and great shots at the end.. looked like an add for gopro, mikes got some talent .
great videos ... what is common sense to some, is all new to another (like myself) , so these videos are invaluable, even down to how to use the boat engine ! or fish finder ... always always hunting these videos out.

you are great.
awesome vid, so many great tips, you can also use a piece of thick wood as the engine lock bar ;)
ACF50 is ideal for coating all the metal parts not cheap but protects from rust and doesn't wash off
Man for a second there I thought this was going to follow that fashion of annoying, distracting quick cuts that's plaguing youtube, but it turned out all right in the end, nice job guys.

Nope not a Hierarchy secret, just the simple case that the owner did not want to publicise the lake and we respect his decision.

Hi Jaak,
Thanks for that. Yes they are soft but if your gentle its ok. You could soak them in Fish Oil and put in a swim feeder too.
Steve.
great video greetings from
LOS ANGELES CA ;*)
keep the real nice videos coming along☆☆☆☆☆☆
Will do...lots more brand new films to come.
My son wants to be a marlin fishermen like you thank you so much :)
I was quite surprised to see that you tow on an unbraked trailer.
looks a big boat and motor to me.
thanks for the videos and all the best for 2017.
It comes inside the gross train weights range.That's why I chose the 60hp instead of something like a 75hp.

My old MK4 golf is only legal up to 600kg total weight Inc trailer, motor, gear, fuel etc etc unbraked..
Yes, there is a limit per vehicle some less but no more that 750kg in the UK. 750kg is the maximum for unbraked, no matter what you are towing with.
awesome!
Hi can you do an updated pier fishing video at Portsmouth again and do you need to pay to fish there? Thanks
How did you get into fishing boating is it for everyone ?I would like to learn to be a boaty but I'm not as spritely as I once was and I believe being a captain has a lot of responability to yourself and others
Great video! Are you planing doing air bnb and fishing trip?
I'm pretty sure you aren't supposed to toe with the motor on the tilt lock. This is for service only. Not for towing. Best to check with Yamaha.
I've looked, but I can't find one...Could you do a Video of towing, launching, setting up, etc., please? Some of us Newbies would like to know how to proceed with our new(ish) Boat. ;-)
Caught my first pike today after 3 blank sessions
LoneNinja Airsoft i used the bitchin twitching rig and caught 7 in a few hours. What did u catch yours on?
Tom Broadbridge sakura L16 with jig head
LoneNinja Airsoft hehe look who i found

Yes to number 1. Yes to number 2 (I put an axle stand under centre of spine,its in one of the films).
TA Fishing, Thanks!
Hey greetings from Finland! i just want to know what brand that boat is?
17 foot wilson flyer
dave c thanks pal
great vid ! keep up the good work! what lures would u recommend me getting for fishing for cod and Pollock of a boat ?
Sidewinder. Favoured colour is called Rhubarb and Custard. Specially for Cod.The Pollack also take them in black,or try an American Black Bass worm ,its black but with a red tail.We call them a firetail.
okay will do thanks for the advice will be sure to record my trip !
I've had Ling on those rhubard and custard sidewinders aswell!! :)
Hi
...does one have to get a 4x4 for a boat like this ....that would kill it for me
cheers
I pulled mine over 3500 miles with a 1.9 diesel family estate.....( Now 2 clutches later !!).A 4wd might be better.
I notice that its a bunked trailer as opposed to rollers. I've got a bunked trailer to keep my SIB on but I thought for a fiberglass hull rollers would be better ?? Is this your preference and is it better than a roller trailer for this kind of boat
Probably rollers better,but this was the trailer the boat came with when I bought it.
Peter Gore Seer,
I Put Redex In Petrol, That Boat Needs A Folding Down Screen, Its Just Acts As A Sail At Sea, And Front Ankor Hatch, But Its A Good Boat, I Dont Like Big Out Boards, But I Fished In Morecome Bay, With As A Few Rivers, Which Brings Drifed River Debris, If It His Hit At Speed Your In Trouble, I Cringe When I See Speed Boats Ratling 50MPH.
what is the weight of your trailer suspension please,i have a shetland 535 weight 560kgs with 85hp yamaha out board, rebiulding my trailer
The weight of the suspension ? The units themselves ? Or what load they carry ?..I just changed mine and I think there were two sizes,a standard,and extended. If I recall I think it was over 500 kg...per unit .Might have been more I can't recall.
👌
What kind of boat is it
17 foot Wilson Flyer.
😁👍
Tow not toe
hi
