Hey Mark love your videos. Just a heads up, when tying off the boat to the mooring, run the line up through the bow spirt/ roller where the anchor goes so it will allow the boat to swing. Tangas is renowned for westerly swell coming through and will sink ya boat if your anchored from the stern. Anyways love your channels Tight lines 🤙
Stabicraft all have a fuel water separator installed it’s located under the live bait tank with a tap on the bottom to drain water or any particles in the fuel system before it reaches the engine. By draining the filter you would have probably been fine once you got to the clean fuel.
It seems you had the stern tied to the mooring, causing splash over the transom. Tie the bow to the mooring, the boat faces into the weather. Great trip tho
Hey mark, love your channels. As a few others have mentioned, my best guess would be that by mooring the boat by the back corner it has caused waves to break over the back of the boat and the water has got in through the breather. Safest to always moor/anchor a boat from the bow. That way it will always point into the wind and waves. Same goes for trying to drive off a stuck anchor. Never tie it off to the back corner, it can easily get pulled under. Glad you got back safe and look forward to the next video.
Brilliant video Mark! This had everything! You boys certainly know how to live it up! Home made fresh caught sushi, beer and BBQ, spot on! Idyllic when the weather is playing ball! Glad you guys got back safe and got the motor sorted.. Like you say ALWAYS make sure you got the safety covered best as possible, cos you never know! Cheers from London 👍🏴🇬🇧
What a fun fishing trip, Mark. You caught some fish, made some yummy food and drinks, and float on the water. The weather can turn that quick,......, am glad you guys got home safely. I can't wait for the next fishing trip. :)
Loved the video Mark! You're 100%right about getting out somewhere with a few mates whether it's camping or fishing to have a great time. At least you all caught a couple of fish too. Living the dream mate have a ripper!
The one good thing about coastguard/vmr is the cost is tax deductible it also pays to make sure your filter has a clear water trap bowl on it this help seeing water in the fuel before it becomes a problem
My 1850SC has the fuel breathers on the starboard side, could it be that water entered these breathers on your boat because of the way you moored your boat side on to the rough seas ?
Great trip and video Mark and co... One BIG safety tip though is make sure you keep your aerial either straight up and down or stored properly so no one can accidentally walk into and impale their eye on it. They can be very dangerous!! Also be aware of them, when travelling or just parked up in the garage.
Awesome video mate and TBH great content, always good to let people know the reality if boating and that sometimes things don’t go to plan and we can all learn something from it. Well done for keeping calm and being safe And it happens to the best of us mate
So envious, love a good fishing trip but don’t get the opportunity much here in Britain. Never mind I’ll settle for watching one of my favourite people ( you Mark ) have a great time fishing 👍🇦🇺🇬🇧
Definitely need to tie the mooring to the bow next time. Much better for your boat and outboard in rough conditions like you experienced. I reckon this was the cause for the breakdown.
Hey Mark, just wanted to thank you for all of your videos you post, including the gardening ones. I’m a keen fisho and gardener so no surprise i enjoy your content. Keep up the great work 👍
Please tell me they installed an in line fuel filter. Did they figure out how the water got in? Through the breather? This should not be possible, so I would figure out the cause b4 venturing out again.
Lovely lovely lovely video. Thank you. Beautiful scenery. Peaceful without music or voiceovers. Just natural sounds of the sea. What could be more perfect. Reminds me of Loch Lomond. Glad you got back in one piece and the boat is ok. Blessings
When I watched your video about your boat a couple of weeks ago you showed where your fuel filling point is and straight away I thought that is not good being on the outside of the boat because it could leak water into the fuel tank. I love the Stabicraft boat and I think they may have moved the filling point to the inside of the new boats???
Also we just spun our prop on our last trip and had a tow in, so if you can keep a spare prop in the boat that can be handy too if you go out wide. If you stay in close a tow is probably a better option that switching a prop while on the water ;)
They have fuel water separator filters for water in the gas. Try to get one with clear bowls so you can see the water. You usually replace the filters every 6 months or so.
Lucky mark ,I always carry an auxiliary on the back of my boat think it's a no brainner even if the motor is new ,great vid mark , cheers shaneo , nelson, nz, 👍
Hi Mark, love your vids. I also have a yamaha Four stroke. Not knowing how a litre of water got into the fuel is a big concern. anyway, hope all goes well for the future.
Looks like you had a towed-ally awesome trip mark ;) glad you got home safe. Been towed in a few times, water in the fuel is a bad deal. Be sure you have a full size water separating fuel filter installed, but if you have over a liter of water in the tank, that’s no good. Did the northsid marine crew have an explaination for you as to how it got in there?
Hey mark, legendary video. Me an my son are thinking about picking up a Yamaha outboard. How did the water get into the fuel line so we can avoid it in the future. I noticed the waves were going over the back of the boat, was it fuel line the water got into.
Hi Mark water in fuel that just does not just happen could have cost your life..newish boat and motor Stabicraft please i want to see a far more comprehensive explanation...thanks.
You’re so lucky you didn’t sink the boat attaching the mooring to the stern. Honestly didn’t know how it didn’t go down in that weather. That’s how you’ve got the fuel issues though.
Trial by fire, or in this case saltwater. Dont be afraid to mess up, thats how we learn. Even someone as perfect as myself has messed up once before. I realize this must come to you as a shock....😮
Hi Mark, I live in the Redlands, so same part of the world as you with Moreton Bay on my doorstep. I Haven't purchased a boat yet. Just wondering about your little inflatable boat, so, once you left your accommodation each morning from the Island, did you simply just drag it on board and deflate it each time? or was there enough water at high tide to bring your Stabi in close to jump aboard from the beach? Sorry, just unfamiliar with Moreton Island. Just in case I do a similar trip one day :) Cheers, Gordon
A couple of rookie errors made by you lot . Never moor a boat off the stern, Big wind water goes over the transom (maybe how you got water in fuel ). Landing net fish from the head end so they swim into it not trying to get them tail first. Dont shoot the messenger.
Brother I love you but if I ever make it down under don't know if I want to go fishing with you ....😂😂😂.....and bad luck with flat footed people is bunk I do really good and I am flat feet to the max
Lets say your radio failed you, what is your next step? How would you get back? I thought on inflatable its not very safe, but at least you can row... on this one you cant
Hypothetical, I know I know. It'll never happen,,,,,,,,,, But just imagine falling off the boat at full speed and being winded by the impact. How long could you survive unconscious face down in the water before the boat turned around, finally managed to find you and got you back aboard? And would they manage to revive you? A life jacket would save your life in that situation as it would make sure you were afloat face up. Apart from my concerns. What a brilliant video. LOL

G'day Fishos, due to popular demand 😂 we will be uploading a follow-up video on how we think water got into our fuel system 👍😉

Lucky he didn't wake up to a sunk boat, hopefully he takes some advice I've seen given
God bless Paul and Ian Coastguards!

Im curious how the water got into the fuel myself
When I saw the boat moored to the stern, I thought the same thing.
Great trip and video Mark and co...

They can be very dangerous!! Also be aware of them, when travelling or just parked up in the garage.
There should be a water separator on that fuel system. Great video as usual
Great clip and learning experience for you and the ones that watched this.
Are you sure you have enough rods. maybe their effecting the weather conditions. All in fun. Love to be there. ALERTA CANADA
No way I’d ever put 6 dudes on a boat that small. You guys were lucky. 4 at most.
Awesome video mate and TBH great content, always good to let people know the reality if boating and that sometimes things don’t go to plan and we can all learn something from it.
Well done for keeping calm and being safe
And it happens to the best of us mate
How did the water get into the tank/motor? That boat would have a water separator filter on it surely??

Great Show, Thank you for your time on the water and video 😊
Awesome content Mark! Hello from Texas!
All the gear……no idea, let’s get into it.
Please tell me they installed an in line fuel filter. Did they figure out how the water got in? Through the breather?
This should not be possible, so I would figure out the cause b4 venturing out again.
Thatsa lotta fish!

Now to work out how the water got in there.

Hi Mark, love your vids. I also have a yamaha Four stroke. Not knowing how a litre of water got into the fuel is a big concern. anyway, hope all goes well for the future.
How did the water get into the motor or was it into the fuel?
Check if you have a separate breather. They are one of the most common causes.
Get on the plane and stay on top of the waves
Looks like you had a towed-ally awesome trip mark ;) glad you got home safe.
Been towed in a few times, water in the fuel is a bad deal. Be sure you have a full size water separating fuel filter installed, but if you have over a liter of water in the tank, that’s no good. Did the northsid marine crew have an explaination for you as to how it got in there?

Oh the struggles!
Great video

Grass emperor/sweetlip only have to be 30cm in Qld 😉
Hi Mark water in fuel that just does not just happen could have cost your life..newish boat and motor Stabicraft please i want to see a far more comprehensive explanation...thanks.
Great video, question, how did the water get inside the motor? What was the cause. For reference thanks👍
Where you guys found inflatable?
So i fish on inflatable, what device do u use to contact coast guard ? Is it simple vhf radio? Or anything else?
hi mark my brother stays at bribie island his name is alec townsley. i stay in south africa.
You’re so lucky you didn’t sink the boat attaching the mooring to the stern. Honestly didn’t know how it didn’t go down in that weather.
That’s how you’ve got the fuel issues though.
How did the water get into the motor?
Exactly! Doesn’t make sense
@@lukeedwards7455 big waves = motor getting submerged into big waves. Big waves drown motor

Nobody that fishes with you will loose any weight 👍

I've said it before, stick to gardening other wise you'll become a statistic at sea.
Why you say that mate?
lmao coontz
I wouldn’t waste my time using a net on a fish you can just lift into the boat… Become a coast guard member it’s well worth it!!!
