Think we need some new blast from the past videos! The under/over are awesome as well, but let's be real, MOST ppl can't afford to even think about the new boats. Great video man.
I'll have to say Andy, this is probably my favorite video you've done(and i watch them all). Showing maintenance issues and how to fix it helps tremendously for us do-it-yourselfers! Owning a boat is very expensive and again, it helps tremendously. Thank you for your compassion and love for the youth and military also. Hope you and your family have a safe and wonderful Chistmas and a Happy New Year!!! ❤😊
Thank you for this video.. i watch all of them but maintenance is so important and i appreciate it.. I'll definitely be checking my bolts before heading to the river.
Well after watching your message here. I checked the four bolts attaching the motor to the jack plate on my 20xp with 36 hrs. It is amazing how loose those bolts were!! Scary!
Man its funny here in TX how little people work on there own boats, I love turning wrenches on my F250, my merc and what ever else comes undone!!! Iv learned a lot from you guys !!
Thanks Andy and crew. More like this please. I know you said you dont have all the torque specs, but maybe a quick reference if you have the books plus experience handy? Heck we can make a pdf and put it on your site or something. Another idea is: Maybe a trailer maintenance checklist?
I always tell my old lady the same thing, make sure to maintain the middle too, not just the inner and the outer 😂😂😂.. y'all be careful and have a good Xmas 💪✌️👊
Hello, Sir, I would like to ask you. On a manual jack plate do have to use the bar on the jack plate to tighten the bolts or can you just use a shorter bolt and go bolt to nut without a bar?
Hey Team Marine Good Morning. I was watching one of your Atlas Jack Plate Maintenance video. I was pretty sure you said other than cleaning & lubing the slides, inspecting all the mounting hardware, an Atlas Jack Plate requires zero maintenance. I have an Atlas Micro Jacker, same with mine? Please guide me. Thank you kindly. Jimmy B.
Andy why does no one install a Jack Plate on Tin Walleye Boats ? I am looking at a a 18ft with a 115=150hp motor and I never see one with a Jack plate on one for sale new. Is the performance gain not worth the cost. Great Information Andy.
Andy, could you go a bit more in-depth on the manual? I have a slidemaster, and the view you gave of the outside only didn't show what I needed. Should the center bolt be always tight?
Thanks Andy for the great video . Team marine channel ROCKS! My boat is basically new 26 hours on my Suzuki . At what intervals hour wise would you recommend checking bolts for tightness ? I’m a maintenance freak . Love the channel . Merry Christmas all .
you all don't need a leash if you buy a good product to begin with like suzuki or yamaha !!!!!!!!!!!!! lol mercs suck as usual !!!! happy x-mas andy to you and your family !
Never get tired of the raw honesty in your videos. Keep it up!!

Good stuff. Checked mine earlier this season and they were loose. Great reminder !
Andy, Merry Christmas to you, your family and all of Team Marine!!!
We've had GREAT luck with Nordlock washers for bolts like this.
I do check these but not very often. Thanks! Will do it now!

Good video man. I have a bit of ocd and have already done all this but a lot of guys dont think of this.
I always tell my old lady the same thing, make sure to maintain the middle too, not just the inner and the outer 😂😂😂.. y'all be careful and have a good Xmas 💪✌️👊
Thanks Andy awesome info!
Have you done a video on aftermarket cavitation plates? Pros/cons?
Great video, we need more info like this, thanks.

Great video I will check mine out what are the torque specs for atlas to Yamaha sho

What is the best way to realigned the grease zerks on a Detwiler when they twist away from the access holes to grease? I am able to work on stuff.
I need a nice suzki sweater like that !!!!

Merry Christmas all .
Also what is a good prop. I want a good setup for my grandson high-school tournament
What are the torque specs for the bolts
Like checking the air in your car tires or engine oil 🍺🎣
Good morning. What is a good backplate for a
Champion 181 DC Merc 150 xr6. I have Detwillee 8"
Some basic PM stuff goes a long way. I have a 2005 Tahoe with over a quarter million miles.
Maintenance helps maintain speed and save money; you still have no brakes. ;-)
Let's Go Andy an Jordan
Where’s the video of the new ranger being cut in half to show how bad it’s being made.
Did they make one ?
That’s why 6 bolts are better than 4..On the engine and the boat. More is better
Andy, love your videos but I find the "taking the Lords name in vein" offensive, even more so when you use it in conjunction Christmas.
Ever thing of slowing down. Your putting a drag motor on a vw in a public place, not a race track.
Jason’s ears perked up when you said drag motor in a vw
you all don't need a leash if you buy a good product to begin with like suzuki or yamaha !!!!!!!!!!!!! lol mercs suck as usual !!!! happy x-mas andy to you and your family !
