Who likes my Marine Industry Course idea?
Love the idea
Agreed! Great idea!
I'd like to suggest, Andy, and what I think I'm really hearing from you, is more of an INTERNSHIP. The "schools" which already exist and what you'd be competing against, can really only provide training in "basics and theory" in an environment which is quite sterile. (Push 'em, push 'em out) An internship would provide REAL WORLD applicability in systems trouble-shooting, repair, customer relations, business administration, marketing analysis, comprehension, and projection. There is within you, I feel, a real and earnest concern and consideration in ensuring that the industry HAS qualified, dependable, and honest representatives, mechanics, and business owners that can keep the ball moving forward. Another consideration could be doing a video course series that you could market through your own existing business and it appears that you'd do quite well doing such a project. (Just my take on this as a former military jet engine mechanic/ inspector and MA of History).
I love the idea! How long would we get to work in the shop with you and would you have any employment leads after completion?
Fantastic idea for individuals who actually want to learn something about the industry. Instead of some bozo who probably doesn't know anything about what he or she is teaching.
Ouch! That prop!!
If y'all think us starting an online crash course on getting into the marine industry is a good idea let us know. Would you sign up if it was affordable?
Hell yes I would sign up! Count me in. The amount of value you provide to this industry is immense. I feel like I'd learn from the best.
If I could do the course online at my own pace I'd do it. I don't have a lot of spare time but if it meant that I could fix my own garbage and save a few bucks overtime it would be worth it.
Well if I was close to you I just pay you to fix it but unfortunately I just fix my own boat even though it’s under warranty I had my boat less than 3 months tilt and trim breaks I call the dealer and they said it would take three months remember this is the same place I bought the boat and if I had let them have my boat at that point I would have given my boat up for the rest of the summer and half of the fall and I can’t do that I fish year round for everything I can’t afford 2 weeks really. Fortunately i followed the wires and one wire was. Unplugged boat I’ve had old boat talking about rebuilding carbs changing coils changing wire harness lower unit replacement spun prop replacement I’ve been lucky to never have the issue of actually digging into the motor
Hell yea!!!!
100% Andy is an extremely knowledgeable guy in the industry and the take away from something like that would but unbelievable!
West channel closing dams eat again!!!! LOL! Those out of towners have a hard time with them. It’s a great place to set up with a bag of popcorn! Andy’s school of underboards and other mythical creatures! 😂 Seriously awesome to see masters willing to teach a trade to the next generation . For sure put on a training clinic. I owe my whole career to folks willing to share the knowledge and patient enough to deal with me while doing it. 80% of people learn by doing. Those folks cant pick it up from reading it in a book. Troubleshooting is a learned skill honed to a sharp point over time. The most enjoyable part of my career has been the last 5 years helping others develop there skill sets. It’s really rewarding.
Team Marine TV checking in!!!
I spent years hanging out at my friends shop. I rigged boats for free. I pulled out a meter and checked out different boat systems. I still use that experience today and loved every minute of it.
I never went to school for the marine world, but I grew up around it and learned how to work on my own stuff. Some automotive stuff can apply to this world, but not always. One thing I’ve always taken pride in is knowing the electrical side of the boats and motors, if you can figure that, the rest isn’t too complicated if
What a service...making on the water repairs!
Propped and set up perfectly how fast would that big Lund turd go ya think with a 225?
54-55 ish? I think a 20 pitch Bravo ran high would run good on that set up
Nothing beats hands on experience. Really enjoy these videos. Thanks for what you do.
Just starting out with my kid . It's not cheap . Joined a bass club , switched from salmon and steelhead fishing sold the sled , sold the ski boat , bought a used Triton tr20. Sold salmon gear bought all new bass gear . Going full tilt on bass fishing starting my first tournament this month. Your right not cheap sport . But we need a hobby right . Lol great memories with your son what I'm going all in . He loves fishing for Bass so we will see where this new adventure takes us . Love your videos keep up the good work.
I'd love to see more of the shop life and river testing videos. It's my absolute favorite content that you guys produce. Having said that, everything you guys produce is top notch! 👍
I like the style of video… it’s nice to see everybody in the shop and what you guys do.
I’d love to get more knowledge on how to work on boats and my outboard
More videos like this please
Love the shop life video. Thanks!
Didn’t see how the Lund turned out. That had sparked my interest
Love the idea! Not even going to lie I have applied to a certain Florida school that I think y’all are hinting towards but watching your videos I definitely can see where your coming from. Love the videos y’all put out!
Love the "Shop Life" videos and showcasing the service side of things.
Service?…this is WAY beyond that🙄.
The lesson with Mason made me realize how much you learn or absorb by hands on experience. I am an ASE master truck tech over 30 years. There is a lot I know that I don't remember learning. The school of hard knocks are lessons not forgotten.
Great content I just found the channel & have been binging!
I would join in a heart beat. Being from Illinois and having a family its really hard to relocate down to Florida for marine mechanics school. I love working on the old 2 strokes. Owning multiple boats over the years I have gained a passion to want to get into the industry.
Great opportunity for someone looking to get into the boating industry. I would have been interested 35 years ago. Think you should do the online course. The ones that pass, graduate to hands on. Great ideal.
Sounds like a good idea you'd be a good teacher that is for sure
Great idea guys on the education . There is nothing like having hands on learning from guys that live it everyday. Trade schools anymore really lack the common sense approach of getting customers taken care of in a timely fashion. I see it in my industry everyday.
Love your statement about tech education and what seems to be school in general. I know they can't put you in every situation but to give a basic knowledge about each aspect of boats. I actually hear the same from couple of my buddies who own a diesel shop. Keep up the tough love education he learned more in that five minutes than five days of school.
We use to work on the big twin 35 hp Evinrude in the cottage livin room when any number of things busted. We were all headed for engineering school, been wrenching go karts, making our own motor bikes out old lawn mowers with angle iron from forsale signs. That took all summer and help from the mower shop. We didn’t have guys like you around and motors were a lot simpler. Now the motors say “ Touch this and go to jail”.
@yelyab1 I had a pair of 1964 big twin 40HP Evenrudes on a 1964 Chris Craft, My grandfather bought the boat brand new in 1964! In 1980 I inherited that boat after my grandfather passed away, In 1988 I purchased an Evinrude 88 SPL! That boat spent every summer of its life docked in salt water at the jersey shore, Those motors never had any issues and ran perfectly when they were removed! Those old Evinrude’s ran great!
How about a review of Sea Ark boats like BX 220 or General build of their boats?
Man I am a automotive/ heavy duty tech. And I also work on boats.
I love watching your videos. But this one by far is has been great.
My biggest weakness when it come to boats is props and setting up jack plates it will make me pull my hair out. That is something I would love to learn more about. If you can make a video in the future about setting the height of an outboard it would be amazing.
I've been working on boats a couple of years. I think it would be a great experience.
You will be the one don’t over think !! I am a life coach
Awesome vid, love the vibe coming from the teaching aspect. I’m in a totally different industry and have the exact same concerns with the new generation. School gets you the interview, attitude gets you the job, ability to learn gets you a career! Best part about waking up everyday (besides fishing) is the chance to help people grow. Team Marine !!!
I absolutely love the idea, I think you're on the right track!
i love the light up ranger sign behind andy
Yes on school 🎉
This was my favorite video I've seen from you guys I loved this content I love learning new things
Great video keep it up, lot of great information on your vids!!
I really like this type of video with what’s going on in the shop day to day
Hey Andy, Here's my take on being a mechanic in the marine world... You have to be a jack of all trades type, not a Merc guy or a Yamaha guy,,, an everything guy. From reed valves on the crank like the old Mercs to plug and play of today. You need to be a mechanic/electrician/engineer/ and most important, a think outside the box kinda person. It takes years, not books to be a great marine mechanic and a mentor,(my dad was mine). I truly enjoy your videos, keep up the good work and remember, there's 2 ways around every circle, the jobs not done until the circle is complete.
Truer words have never been spoken! You are exactly right!
Love the shop life videos. This one is very interesting for sure.
I’d be interested in the crash course, even at 62 years old. I own a boat so it could beneficial, I think anyway.
Sounds like a hell of a good idea!!! The whole marine mechanic school thing. I'm a 25yr carpenter and I fell off a roof 2 yrs ago and was injured and have been looking for marine schools near me to change careers. I love boats and fishing and believe you guys are the most knowledgeable boat guys out there. I've always had older motors, and I haven't in 20 yrs, found "my boat guy". But I want to be that boat guy!!! I would sign up for classes for sure!!!
Diagnostics. I love this type of content. This is a nicely balanced channel
It's really cool to see you working with and teaching a younger tech. I Started in the mechanical field almost 30 years ago and still remember a lot that the guys had taught me. Nothing is better than being in the field getting the experience. Its sad that schools don't teach the basics any more
@alwaysbroke1976 Schools do it just depends on where you go!
Heck yeah to the learning!
Great show boys. On line class is a very good idea. Hope it's a success
I like the idea of a marine school.
My thought immediately goes to helping people that need hope. Lost teens that need mentoring, Those that are rehabilitating those incarcerated, recovering addicts, retiring military, etc. Maybe working with the high school education system if they want to expand their vocational program for those not interested in college.
Our local high school allows students that are not pursuing college and interested in vocational to spend half their day doing internship work with local business too get hands on experience before leaving high school with many having a decent paying job straight out of high school.
Maybe if you work with your local and state government you might get some funding or grants to start a educational work program.
Waterside wheel delivery 👌
Damn good idea.
I like your idea!! I'm retired and looking to getting into marine repair...I have an automotive background but I don't want to go Florida and pay out the butt!! Sign me up Andy!!!
How do you knock a full blade off a stainless steel prop without trashing the prop shaft or gear case. I used to work on outboards and every one of them that I have ever seen had shaft damage or a completely trashed gear case.
im all in on the online school! recently got into boating and im very interested in learning especially the old stuff
That kid fell asleep during that part of class.
Not sure how committed that is.
My school I fished for didn’t do jack for us. We got fined for every event we attended during covid. Load of bs.
Great show guys 👍👍
These are the videos we want to see. Keep it up.
I would enjoy learning some things. Sounds like a solid idea
Andy, get me a number and the contact for Suzuki and I will let them know how your channel here helped me make the decision on purchasing the 250 SS. And by the way, I just rolled 300 hrs on my 2020 model purchased in August of that yr. The majority of that time was spent at idle with some mid to top-end speeds also involved for a 12 min run both ways when fishing. I fish in the only Natural lake in Texas which is the largest cypress tree forest in N. America . Filled with cypress stumps and trees. Most likely running second to Tom Monsour and lower units lol. It is a great motor for my ChanpioN 203. I love it!
You got it! Shoot us over your email and we will send the number you'd need
Id be very interested. I don’t know a damn thing about engines but this would be great for me to get into. Thanks great content
Good idea
Yep. Great idea of the online training. I'm in.
Do you mount your Lowrance transducer thats at the back of the boat at an upward angle to counter out the back of the boat sinking down while idling? To keep it level. Your images are so clear.
I think we need to have some type of update classes for us that are not dealers anymore!!
School idea is great. Maybe even a patron option. At different levels we’re you could FaceTime with guys thru there problems. At a cost of course. Picked time slots , maybe even involve your other techs to help in there areas of expertise. I can see it working if it’s layed out properly.
Love that schooling idea. Sign me up!
Great , go to go
Nice work Andy!
So, are you going to become a dealer for Gator Trax Boats? They are awesome, just what I've been looking for, for fishing the Miss. pools, the Chippewa, the Wisconsin, and all our other fantastic Wisconsin rivers and lakes.
Fix the trim on that Lund, open up the computer still stuck in break in..21 tempest plus should run 58 on the pad, raise motor up motor another hole. She will chine wiggle if you get up on the pad full out.
Love the videos!!!! online Marine Mechanics School..... Uh yes please!!!!!!!!!!
Born again boating covered similar topic about the over trim code forces outboard into a semi-guardian mode when over a certain RPM.
Case studies to diagnose relevant most common scenarios would probably be the focus likely.
If it wasn't for the huge liability headache, I would love a one or two day hands on diagnostic session after completing a competency test first so it's not wasting the teacher's time with a student.
Maybe FaceTime/videoconference of them having their own equipment they diagnose with as an alternative during the slow months of the year.
Not doing the work for them, but helping them to develop the ability to actually diagnose.
Awesome you guys are helping the kids out! My nephew is doing the BASS high school thing. I agree on the industry needing to step up and help the kids. The kid won overall points fishing (as a sophomore)out of a 16' boat with a old 20hp tiller and a shitty trolling motor. Fishing against kids with ff sonar, twin power poles and 250's. He works as much as any kid I've ever seen and spends every dime on tackle. The kid can fish and I'd love to see how he could do if he had every tool in the toolbox. Or at least fish on a level playing field.
for a business to go a forward it needs team players if they go to school for marine maybe a parts person, budget, shop person etc.
I'd be in on your teaching and schooling. 55 year old mechanic here BUT not on boat motors. General engine yes but the electronic and Ignition systems, I need some ed.
Love it! Great stuff!
I have a 2009 250 merc with the same issue. Cant get over 5500 and 52mph in my ranger. It feels glued to the water like you said. I have almost no bow lift. As for your nephew, he will learn way more hands on than in books at college. Not to mention its cheaper.
Andy: speaking of props, I recently saw a full page ad in a boat mag for a "Sharrow Propeller". They are an unusual design and are NOT cheap-5 grand per prop!
Have you ever seen one of these in use?
How did it not bend that shaft ?
Any follow up on this Lund and the Mercury trim?
Since he was under warranty we encouraged him to take it back to his dealer to have the situation remedied.
My first day of diesel tech school, my engines instructor said school starts when you get your first job wrenching.
Would have been an awesome opportunity for me when I was younger. Now with a family, including grandkids that showed up years earlier than expected, that all depend on me I'm not in a position to across the country to finish training. Although we desperately need more competent marine mechanics here in southern Oklahoma
We would always be able to figure some form of exit exam that could be offered online for the individuals the couldn't make the journey
So what was the verdict on the big lunds issue?
I would just like to know more about boats and how everything works, not necessarily work in the industry but personally know how to worn on my own bot etc. I would take courses for this reason
I love the way you think!!!💓👍
My Lund ProGuide fuel gauge drives me crazy. It says empty and I still have like 9-10 gallons in the tank. Which is fine, but frustrating as well in the sense that I don’t really know where empty is.
I’m wondering if there is a setting on the sender arm or a calibration on the gauge like tach sometimes has.
I’ll pull it apart this winter and take a look.
Go Mason!
I have been a machinist for 33 years now. We get kids fresh from School who dont know the basics on things. Some of that crap should be machine shop 101 and they didn't learn it in School. IMO the best learning comes from hands on watched over by some cranky ol bastards!! Lol
Lovin Shop life vids 👍
online would be great we need more marine techs hands on is the way thanks.
You mentioned Alexandria, do you mean Alex, MN? If so it's the same school I went to (not for Power Sports though 😅).
I wanted to more of that Lund. I have the same problem with my boat but my trim works just very low rpm’s, a 115 pro xs on a 18 foot aluminum bass boat.
Where is the cav plate wrt to the bottom? Is motor too deep? Most boats according to a lot of motor mfg’s is that boat builders mount motors too low.
On the lund trim . The water was coming off ahead of the windshield so what would be the optimal location for the water spray to look for ?
On a big rig like that under you at minimum
Thank you . I have a 185 ( 18' 9" alumicraft Trophy. Not sure what length the Lund was but would be real close to same boat . Mine weighs empty at 1800 lbs and has a 2022 Suzuki 150 on it . I'm in Montana so my low altitude starts at 2300 and goes up to 6400 . Should be at 6000 rpm but loaded for fishing at 3300 ft I only get 5200 rpm with a 21 pitch prop . Have ordered a 19 prop but not sure if I need to raise motor or not ? The deflection plate looks to be even wit the bottom of boat and I'm getting a lot of splash at the transom on plane ? Is prop best place to start ? Is there anything available to help with altitude ? My dealer is warners in Wisconsin so taking to dealer is really not an option and they don't have a prop exchange program .
That’s what my boat was doing I lost the bolt that connects the trim rod to the motor my gauge was not indexed and it wouldn’t not let me run the motor it went into protection mode
When are you guys going to get some more of them Team marine hoodies back in stock l want one that thing is sick looking 👍👍👍👍👍
Currently solving some supplier issues with them
Following up on the Lund with the trim issue. Any resolution on that? I saw a post from another Lund owner describing the exact same issue.
We advised him to take it back to this Merc dealer so he could be on the same page with them.
Is it mark to buy a new boat from a dealer that has no or very few used boats? At some point I may want to buy new?
Have you started a marine online course yet? Very interested
School is great, hands on is better.
You did videos on best 250 and 200, which 175 do you think is best? Also, your ranking or determined best fuel economy motor? I know boat dictates a lot of that but if you compare with a base and go from there, not sure if that's been touched often during the overall comparison of best motors etc. Thanks, your info is great
We've done a lot of 250 battles and some 200 battles. When it comes to fuel economy Suzuki has it in our opinion.
Great video team marine!! Keep em coming. I agree with the schooling issue but i think the problem is its a tech school in less than 2 years. I graduated from mmi in 08 and quickly realized there were alot of gaps that were not filled but with the right crew and team work anything is possible. School cant teach everything. Where in wisconsin are you guys located?
Okay Andy...Most likely not your target student...Not old enough to retire...too young to stop learning.. Would be very interested in being educated on the marine industry..Would be very interested in expanding my knowledge to perhaps taking to the next level..I'm serious..I like your approach...Would appreciate a good teacher / coach!!
Hey Andy
