This channel was started to show some of our family fishing trips, as well as some how-to videos on boat repairs. It has since kind of taken on a life of its own. Instead of having another channel to post oilfield related content, I just put it all together. I do post them in different playlists.
I would like it if you (audience) would let me know which content you prefer. Would it be better to create a 2nd channel, or just leave it how it is now? I'm all for interacting with everyone. I will never post any videos of my children that may be considered inappropriate in any way. If you ask me to do that you will be banned from channel. If you try to bring your drama to one of the comment sections, you will be banned from channel. This is just for fun, and BS will not be tolerated. We look forward to interacting with each and every one of you. Thank you all for the support and for following us on this journey.
Sincerely,

Oil well blowout! What a mess..
มุมมอง 1512 ปีที่แล้ว
This was an old well that was beside one we were working on that or of no where decided to show itself. It was unmanned and a saltwater well. So for all the environmentalist out there, that's mud in the beginning NOT oil. All the proper authorities were notified, but by the time they arrived the well had sanded up, plugging itself. It was written up as a non event. Not going to name any operato...
Workover vs Drilling. What's with all the hate?
มุมมอง 6K2 ปีที่แล้ว
As a service hand I go to both Drilling rigs, as well as workover. Land / Offshore doesn't matter. The one thing I always hear is that one side is better than the other. One side works harder than the other. Drilling hands say "lets see them do that on triple with 5-1/2" drill pipe". Workover says "lets see them trip 20,000' of pipe before noon". Thing is both of them are making an honest livin...

thanks for the video. those carbs are noted for gumming when they set for awhile. I always add marvel mystery oil to my fuel and it keeps them clean.....cheaper than sea foam.
My friend I’m sorry for my english, next time try smith optics, I’m from Brazil an I do have costa’s couse I really love them but smith warranty it is so amazing. Take care 😉
@@Beto-wb7px thanks for the info my guy. Will definitely add them to my list to try out.
Guide’s choice model is fantastic, I wish my best on the next.
Thanks I’m going to go try this now
Good job, been doing the same stuff for 55 years, started with mini bikes in the 70's. Never let anyone work on my machines. 👍
I Liked
Bought a used pontoon. Seats in perfect shape just stained. Marine 31 made them look like brand new. Only complaint I had was my dried out cracked working hands. burns. I suggest using gloves. Great product!!
Thank you for this, very helpful
Good advice sir
Great video going to try this 😊
making a game that is set on an oil rig, this will definatley help. :)
That’s true what one said about the gray line and I have own 8 two strokes and 3 4 strokes every year I get rid of the old gas and put in new a I use a good two stroke oil for what ever motor you have and I put seafoam in the gas tank and change fuel filter in them and they never let me down
Just bought a 2 stroke second hand 2005 15 hp 2 stroke Yamaha It starts OK but at idle runs a bit lumpy, can' t wait to try your tip as I was charged 500 dollars for my 4 hp Yamaha single cylinder impeller and tune up. in contrast I have my 2004 Mercedes Benz 6 cylinder tune up air con filer oil filer and oil change? it cost $470, Go figure - I'm with you brother learn by doing.and save big time.
The video talks about getting a replacement sensor on Amazon. I cannot find it. If someone has the link it would be appreciated.
Looking forward to the next review. Interesting that it heated the cold water when you first started it.
Having this exact problem. Took quite a while to find your video as it seems to be a much less common problem. Thank you very much for posting this!
"we may still be here" was the funniest comment i seen today. nice video
good wideo thanx.
After using bleach product, make shure you use diluted hydrogen peroxide. A ratio of 1 part 3% hydrogen peroxide to 10 parts water is effective for neutralizing bleach.
Bought a 2002 pontoon with a mercury tracker 40 hp two stroke outboard. Water separator had black mold in it when we test run it mold went into carburetor how do I get it out without over hauling the carb. I changed the separator,gas lines and filter. Now it won’t start.
I have a mariner 60 hp 2 stroke triple carb.... Literally did this today ! And it's up and running again ! Can't thank you enuff for this video sir ! Will be back out on the water tomorrow! Again thank you for making this video ! 👏👏👏👏👏👏 You got a like and Subscribe !

man those fuel issues are a bitch. 04 yamaha 50 2 stroke has a prime starter electric choke deal that is a dog. and oil injection seems to be way too complicated than just pre mixing. but looks like you got it figured out with that work you did. peace from grove, oklahoma.
My 2018 has door issues… going to try this. What’s the piece number?
Great to know I can try this
old gas will kill a motor clean the tank and get new filter every couple years
why talk so much extra? you could easily make this a 1- 2 minute video. why try so hard to waste peoples time?
Several reasons. 1. YT won't push videos under 5 mins. 2. Not everyone is as smart as you, so they need a little extra explanation. 3. Because it's my video and if I can do or say whatever I want. Nobody is forced to watch. 4. The longer the video, the more $$$ you can make from ad revenue. 5. You making comments only pushes the video higher in the algorithm, then when i respond it gets pushed even higher. So thanks for the help
Great presentation my brother! I just experienced this same thing today. Going back to the marina tomorrow and try what you just did. Thank you so much ❤❤🎉
What prop is that?
Good one yall, that's what we do here in GEORGIA if broke we fix but glad u got it running
So, after seeing this video and fixing my transducer following these instructions my pontoon now reads at full speed. I have a Lowrance Hook5. I will mention your transducer should be mounted on the driver's side of the pontoon. Problem cured. Thank you
I have a ladder on the other side, but noted.
I just bought a Helix 7 to attach to my pontoon boat. My pontoon sits in a boat lift and the cradle that the logs rests on sticks out about a foot behind the logs. A transducer can only mount flush with my logs, not hang down below or the transducer hits the bunk when I drive back on. I haven't installed it yet, Will it work flush along the bottom of my toon?
it will work just not over 8-10 mph
Just clean the carb like a grown up…
You must be one of those rich guys that can buy those $140 carb rebuild kits? When you have 3 carbs that are in sync $320 worth of gaskets and a re-sync is a bit much when all I'm trying to do is spend my day off fishing. But you do you, and I'll do me.
Launch looks familiar.
Like your video. I bought a new 90 hp 02 mercury 2 stroke still runs great. I had gray fuel lines on it and they came apart inside an found the way to the carbs. I took them apart and cleaned them. Runs great. I have a 16’ Lowe bass boat but I catfish only It will run about 40 mph. I have about 250 hours on the motor. I run a 12 3/4 - 21 aluminum prop. Take Care and God Bless from Hartford Ky
Sea foam is in every tank of my gas good insurance
Thanks, man! Funny, I have the exact same year and color, too! Yep, sliding door peeps randomly. Usually, when I'm going up hills.
Thanks brother I'm troubke shooting my 65 🐴 mercury even if it doesn't work appreciate u posting this I'm in the same boat when it c comes to doing it myself u have a new subscriber good luck and God bless (Rockwood Michigan)
Seafoam is an amazing product I use it to stabilize my fuel.
Never use carb or brake cleaner to start a 2t. You're washing the cylinder walls down and greatly decreasing the life of rings an bearings. Get yourself a good quality spray bottle and use premix to squirt into the carbs.
I'm oil injected and trying that kept fouling plugs, but thanks.
Very helpful, Thanks!
Where u were spraying the carb cleaner, what’s that location, looked to be where spark plugs are located, but normally on other side? Great video!
Good job
Wow, dry water pump= no more water pump paddles=replace water pump because you didn't hook up any water to it.
Think you missed something. Water hose was on the entire time. But thanks for the concern anyways.
Just now saw your video....outstanding logic there Mate....just bought a Nissan 9.9hp 2 stroke that hasn't been run for over 6 years and I'm gonna add a can of seaform in the first tank of gas and see what the water looks like coming out after she starts up. I pulled the carb and cleaned it, new fuel pump, Impeller, and spark plugs....Hope mine goes as good as yours....and thank you for the time to make the video....
Thank you!
Beautiful.. As a lover of and once a chaser of 🌪️, this is beautiful. Yes, I understand the difference yet they're one in the same to me.

Gray line is for ethanol
Gray line may be for "above deck" use. There's black line made for "below deck." However, I don't know for certain that all manufacturers follow that scheme.
Hey bud just a follow up from canada here. So I took out the 14ft fishing boat with a 25hp older 1986 mercury 2 stroke outboard . I fiddled with the screws and choke stuff ect before going on the trip and got to get it to start pretty good as I had previosly installed electric a starter ect ( cant pull on the cord to much anymore AGE you know what I mean )anyway up on the lake same kind of thing again, had to keep cranking with the starter to get it to fire up, when it did and got warmed up ,it ran like a bird, following day same thing lots of cranking then ran like a bird, its a 1986 but looks brand new Ive had it for 30yrs but hardly used it , now retired I use it more often, there cant be too much wrong with it as I mentioned it looks brand new, so I plan to try your method of cleaning with the gum out and sea foam hope it helps thanks for your time to share the info
Thanks for the tips might do this to my new boat purchase
