A Yamaha 9.9 has 4 holes in the bracket which allow you to bolt the engine onto the transom (8 mm). Theft is made much more difficult if you do so and it won't fall in the water either . Your second engine has obviously suffered from lack of maintenance. You might want to flush out any salt deposits :remove the thermostat (on top of the engine ), check for salt/corrosion. If present put leg of outboard in a tub of water with some hydrochloric acid . Run engine for 5 minutes and all deposits will dissolve and be pumped out. Run for another 10 minutes in clean fresh water . Carburated 9.9 Yamaha is the best outboard ever. Utterly reliable and if broken always repairable using only basic tools. I have a load of spare parts for this engine . If you want them (free), let me know.
Did anyone else get a shock when he shorted the battery???!!!😊
Your Mom is so handy, have her make the mattress cut offs into decorative pillows. Comfy.
Just a tip, always, always have a safety line on any outboard when playing with them over water. It’s ever so easy to ooops, drop them and have no way to recover the carcass. Also a sacrificial piece of plywood instead of slippery alloy on the inside of the mount for the clamps to bite into otherwise the motor tends to waltz all over the place. Been there, done that.
Now that shocked even me! That’s the way us old farts used to check how good a battery really was. In the 60’s. Funny! HA!
Dude, you’re getting SO close to the end of your days as a dock pirate! 🤙
I nearly choked on my cuppa tea when you bridged the two terminals 🤣
I choked on mine!

More great stuff from NL! I love your edits when things don’t go well or lose your considerable cool…. Getting closer by the day Mark, keep on keepin on 😎
This is a good lesson. You shouldn’t lie down four stroke, engines full of oil.
Kia Ora lad, I bought a $90 off-roader 12v winch, changed the galv cable for dynema and mounted on crossbeam it pulls my 3mtr tender with 18hp outboard right out of water easy peasy. Same thing would work for your outboards.

Never bang or put a twisting motion on a battery post! You can break the electrical connection inside the battery. Then when you charge or put a load on the battery it can spark internally. During the use of the battery water is separated into oxygen and hydrogen and these gasses are inside the battery. An internal spark can blow the battery up and spray acid everywhere. This is also why you never take off the charging cables while there is current in the battery cables. The spark can ignite the escaping explosive oxygen and hydrogen gas.
Nice progress on the boat. Slow and detailed work always wins in the end.
Take some advice and put a safety cable attaching the motors to the beams overhead in case they ever break their mounts. Some 4mmx19 stainless able will be fine.
I came here to make the same suggestion.
I'd hate for anything to happen to one of his motors.
Несомненно!
Поддерживаю👍
Всё, что имеет самостоятельные вибрации - должно иметь страховку☝️
In keeping with the nautical theme, a common way of saying you’re feeling hungover in dutch is saying you are ‘brak’. It shares the same origin as ‘brackish water’ in English :)
The SIm City jazz vibe is thoroughly appropriate.
You should never use a hammer like that on battery terminals. It damages the plates on the inside. Especially on used batteries.
Making progress.💪🏽👏🏼
Looking forward to your first sail!
Check anode mate,and replace it with new one,this is why corrosion happens usually
Remember, the positive post is bigger than the negative. Also be careful turning your four stroke engines upside down. You will get oil in the carburetor and you can Hydro lock it in. When you try to start it, you will bend a rod or valve. and also topless women will get you in trouble lol thank you for another video. I am still surviving still alive thank the good Lord I’m going to go ahead and have my right hip and leg amputated. To get rid of bone infection in my hip socket to try to save my life. Prayers are appreciated. My name is Michael.
I pray healing and speak life upon u in Jesus name
Great tip I will be praying to The King Of The Universe for u Michael
His strength through your suffering. Praying for His mercy for you.
You got this! Dig deep, do it for your "buddy".
I wish you luck with that . I hope you pull it through.
I am sending a High recommendation, and warning. You need to attach a cable or chain from each outboard motor that acts both as antitheft, but even more important, is a safety from the outboard working itself loose and falling in the ocean to the bottom when under way. I have seen them come loose many times. You need a cable or chain locked to them that allows for recovery....
Yeah..a mate had an outboard nicked off his boat as it wasn't secured...and.,l almost lost an outboard after the leg hit something as l was trolling.
What he said . I never run an outboard without a safety line .
Why not bolt them on? Much safer than chain or cable!
I lost mine in the drink just this week. I'd had it for 3 weeks :(
@@loveoracle8797jesus. why didn’t you just bolt it down?
Add a double block to the middle of the metal beam above the head of the engine to divert the lines that are in the way, that way you won’t have to relocate what you have already fitted.
For your engine collapsing in the rope, you could use the aluminium traverse near the yellow beam above the motor to act as a relay with puleys fixed on it. So you don't move your existing ones more close to the axe of rotation of the white box.
Have a nice continuation.
You need to attach some wood to you alloy outboard mountings as you need something for the engine mounts to bite on, otherwise they can work off the mount. Ask me how i know.
Use bees wax & carbide tipped blade --. Have made thousands of cuts through aluminum. We used carbide-tipped circular saw blades or carbide-tipped chop saw blades. And we used blocks of pure bees wax as the lubricant. We very carefully cut into the bees wax block a half-inch or so (with a running saw blade). We did that before every cut. On a cut thru thick plate like on your vid, we might zing the blade a few times as the cut progressed. NOTHING compares to bees wax to lube a saw blade. NOTHING. And we took our time. Let the blade do the work. Never rush it.
Great vid -- as always.
And the result was ALWAYS an easy cut... and a perfect cut - a near-mirror finish.
My sandwich flew out of my hands and ended up on the floor when you bridged them terminals! Jumped a foot or two
Just a point, I cringed when you started hammering the connector onto the pole of the battery, best way to break it, I think. Keep up the good work. 🙂
Never bash on a battery terminal mark 😂
It can cause the paste to part company with the elements. Cheap batteries likely to be less tolerant. Elements have been known to drop off the terminals.
yea...I was cringing
I always stab a vent port in my batteries.
@@dr.floridaman4805 increases performance 🤣👌
regarding your oily motor projects: you might want to get some bed mats and large nappies they soak also oil and will leave less oil on surfaces you want oilfree.
That spark made me jump. Scared the crap outta me lol
The Yamaha 9.9HT's are excellent pushers with ONE large problem...the cooling system. They have a flush connection and you need to use it every time you run them. On a Catalina 30 one of these pushed it at 6kts using only 0.5gph, but I permanently plumbed the cooling flush hose to the boats water system and religiously flushed with every use. Much better than waiting a few months until all that's coming from the water outlet is steam and needing to break down the leg and block to clean out salt/lime. In your case I suggest buying a cheap solar shower bag, adapting the shower head to a standard female garden hose fitting, you can hang it up and flush each by gravity.
All open cooled marine engines should be flushed after use
I have this motor. Push/pump the starter key in as you start it. Each push in pumps extra fuel in. This is your choke. Then a little throttle for a warming idle.
Never ever hammer on the battery posts. You’ll wreck your battery very quickly doing that. Wedge a screwdriver in the cable clamp gaps instead.
Sand down the corrosion and spray it with Hammerite paint 💙
Replacing the zincs are also a must... That prop would have been a red light to me!
Wrap those beams beside the beds with a pool noodle. Easy cheap solution.
When cutting aluminium with an angle grinder, I find that it helps immensely to run the risk in an bar of handsoap every now and then to keep it from biting.
WOW! The Pyxis Ocean! This is a modern sailing freighter. The two huge, bulky things on this ship are fixed sails.
Dude! i was wondering what that was! thats so cool!
Good to hear mom and pops will be in the next one.
As always, best show on the Tube.
Add a nice thick block of wood to the inside of your main wood cross beam.
That will move the lift box and the engine away from causing any damage to the main wood cross beam and the engine.
look at your main cross beam and your vertical metal extrusion. sandwich a block of wood between them.
You will need longer thread bolts each side for each fitting.
You will also need to tinker with the other end of the assembly as the distance will be shorter by the width of the block of wood.
Nice work.
When you fired up the engine without checking to make sure it still had enough oil in it 😬
I love your positivity! Living a real, unfiltered life…why can’t things go simply and like they supposed to go? When life gives you lemons, you always seem to make limoncello. Keep at it. Looking forward to seeing your parents. 😎👍🥰
Save the cut foam for cushions or pillows. Let mom sort it out.
Just two tipps: allways drill holes through the stern and use ssteel screws - a wood plate isn‘t good, it will fade away over time.
NEVER carry an outboarder with the prop higher than the power head. This can cause water which could be in the exhaust system run down into open valves of intake or exhaust. But great job you do! Cheers Bernd
Condensation under the foam mattress will lead to a mold problem. Cheap solution is a couple of layers of flexible plastic garden trellace ..... like thick chicken coup wire but plastic. Works for us on our boat.
Yeah,that would breathe n not trap moisture. Good idea
This is important!
The most common solution I've seen is to drill holes through the surface that the mattress rests on, or replace the solid plywood sheet with slats..
@@jaygee5693 good idea, replace with slats, better than holes and can be cleaned underneath
I would suggest turning those battery terminal nuts to the outside to avoid making contact via a socket.
Hi Mark, your videos are definitely getting better. I love your perseverance, you’ve come a long way.
I noticed no drain holes in the back of the motor boxes. Try drilling a larger hole then filling it with epoxy then drilling a smaller hole within the epoxy. So the wood doesn’t get compromised.
Hopefully the next vid will be called "on the plane" and not the one home :-) Good luck with the new engine, you will enjoy having your folks over.
Dang who'd have thought that wrench would be the perfect size to short the battery 😂💥
Now you have two plates of slippery aluminum, you should install two bolts at the bottom of the engine
It has been fun watching your DIY journey. You have come a long way, pilgrim.
Damn, that thing smoked more than my 2 stroke :D Good Luck.
The way the transom on your outboard mounting box flexed when you blipped the throttle is a worry, I suggest fitting a safety chain to keep the motor from sinking when you need it most. Wish you all the best, ps love your mum and dad.
Great job on the engine and getting another matched engine. With those beds it is starting to look like home!
She's coming around you're doing a good job are at the very least what you can do with the money you have to do it with it'll be cool to see your mom and dad again they should be proud of you for what you together and a lone have done my hats off to you man
The wrench on battery can be an explosive and very dangerous reality. The battery can basically put infinite current into a short. This can create a lot of heat and turn that wrench into molten steel. some electrical tape on the wrench can insulate it. Also using an open end wrench instead of a socket is wise.
LOL I was watching this lying down on the couch with my phone 2 inches from my face and threw it up in the air when you accidentally hit both terminals… 😂
Oil in the carb and cylinder is not from storage, but most likely from laying it down to transport it.
DIY Beds, not for long, mom will fix. Dad will help with the 2nd engine install and fit-up. Looking forward to the chain and backing plates installation
.
Looking good mark won’t be long now ❤and we all make mistakes that’s how we become better don’t worry about negative things we have all done it and still alive lol ❤ just ha ha
Thanks for the video, you must check oil level when the oil have run out of the crank case and in the cylinder. 😊
A great mattress for your Mum n Dad's state room. 😊😊😊😊
It's all going well mate. Keep at it. Looking forward to your parents visit. They are stars. Your ratings should jump for that video. 😅. 🐟
Move your ropes to the back of the box, reconnect the ropes for pulling your engine to underneath the aluminium strip. Under the beam shelf, you’ve already got nuts and bolts through it. It was simple be a matter of putting a different sort of fixing on the end of them, therefore moving the ropes back would make a better point of leverage and clearthe engine
I’ve tried to send you a drawing of this but can’t seem to do it, so you need to figure it out. If you look at the aluminium strip that you’ve got to rest your floor on and the stainless steel tubing coming down as you come down to where you’ve connected your crossmembers to, which you’ve currently got your ropes on, if they’ve lifting ropes were moved to where you’ve done your cross connection closest to the yellow being that you’ve got and you put loops at the end of your engine blocks you were decorate a bigger loop and this would work
Good practical humor in this episode. Nice to see that it is not only me that’s an idiot sometimes 😂 . It all ends good.
High Thrust means it has heavier real steel gears ,not plastic, way better for a sail boat and the reverse thrust is much stronger for slowing you down than a normal OB( from a Yamaha Rep at the TorontoBoat Show so he knows)
Beware of an outboard with a damaged prop. Check the shaft is straight and the gearbox is ok. Morse Teleflex 33C cables are universal, interchangeable between engine manufacturers, you should be able to get a connection kit for your particular engine. Is that a starter battery or a leisure battery? A leisure battery will not last long as a starter battery as it is not designed for the high discharge rate when cranking an engine.
Use boat trailer winches that use strap not wire to lift motors ,one on each side should work. Then you can put safety chain on the otherside for up and down position. Leaves the central area clear.
That's why i wrap tape around my ratchets! 😂
Well done Mark with the engines i daresay your father will help you with the corrosion mum will sort your beds very good video try not to electrocute yourself anymore good luck see you next week 😊
All the best from Newfoundland, Canada, just remember,if you fail to plan,plan to fail.Bryce from Newfoundland and Labrador.
I am from UK. Lived in St. Joseph's NL for 7 years.
Left there in 2013. Then retired here in Thailand in 2021.
96 degrees everyday.
I remember those Canadian Winters. Dave
Stoke when I see you post. Your projects these days are getting pretty technical. Makes for great content
time to go sailing , i go mad with all this boatwork ,not only you.
I was screaming at the screen when you were hitting the wrong battery clamp down on the wrong terminal, then when you bridged the terminals with your ratchet I had an aneurism. 😅
Love extra thick foam , have same in our SlidaVan trailer, you need a barbecue on one of the rails outside,wonderfull addition when the time is right for it
Loving the Soundtracks lately Mark. Gonna miss your vids when you done Renovating.
“Nothing is easy”. Yes, but I admire your persistence and hard work. 👍👍
These engines are supposed to go up and down so think of a lift that can take it straight up straight down then boxing in on Deck a lot safer and don't get corroded with salt so much😊 all the best
your motor has a "this side up" sticker that will stop you from getting oil in the carbs when you lay it down
Love the eclectic music as always. I hope you got a drawing for the pulleys, it should be pretty simple for a man with your tenacity.....
The high thrust is used as an auxiliary on bigger vessels
Outboards, engines, yeah!
Love the videos because of the true realities while restoring things that can happen good or bad!
Nice sparks screwing the cables on 😂 great stuff, keep going!
Hi! That part you hadn't seen before looks like the automatic choke pull. It slides inside an electromagnet, which connects to the starter switch. The choke is pulled while the srarter motor runs and returns by the spring on the choke lever. The magnet is usually bolted to the engine block (mine is), but it should be easy to spot. All the best!
Try some Sea Foam. Spray some of it into the carburetor when you start your.
There are cutting discs for aluminium that are lubricated already there are also cutting discs for aluminium that require the disc to be lubricated with wax most alloy fabricators use bees wax
Mark, your videos always brighten my day. You’re getting so close to the finish line, we’re with you all the way. Lisa
When you’re stuck call your dad.
The tales of Christopher Robin is all I can think of,.
Hi Mark ! I have got the Yamaha 9.9 high thrust outboard engine for years on end and I am very happy with it. These engines are very reliable and very durable. They have a high ratio tork, therefore a bigger propellor. So with low rev's per minute a very large amount of water displacement, especially for heavy boats (werk motor). Also the fuel consumption is reasonable. The younger engine might be more economical than the older version, though. For better water cooling results, clean out the outher bit were the water comes out. You might want to give a new spray paint on the lower part of the engine were the rust bits are. I think the higher bits with rust are not that important. Thanks for this nice episode. Greeting, Frank
Mark, order yourself 2 cheap atv 12v electric winches from somewhere such as Harbor freight in the USA. They're less than $80 a piece and will easily pull those engines up..
****WELL DONE ,IT'S ALL COMING TOGETHER ONE DAY AT A TIME..!!****
Marvelous, your Father will get those engines running like a top.
I would, one reinforce the backend of your engine mounts and secure your engines with a chain.
Maybe to late but when u cut any Aluminium plate,box or bar use wax as a cutting lube.
A candle will do, just dab the grinder on the wax when spinning. So easy. Cuts real good.😊
After watching a few episodes ive figured out that this is the sequel to another popular amateur sailing vlog - its like the British version of Sam Holmes Sailing
My advise on the lift for the engine trays would be to move the fixed point aft to the cross support next to the beam. That will get it out of the way of the housing and give a better geometry toward the lift point on the tray..
"The oldies". I wonder if our kids refer to us like this.🤔😁
you made me cry when you hammered on your new battery . Yikes .
If you want to cut aluminum use a small skill saw blade. You can even buy them for your grinder small wheels to cut aluminum if you use a regular cutting disc you will gum it up disc or clog up the disc.
Mate your smashing this project been subscribed since you bought this boat and been loving your progress your work so far has been awesome keep it up buddy
You need insulating boots acorrs the terminals and battery connections. You can buy spray-on stuff.
High thrust for your boat is very good!
