Where have you gone. No more videos 😢

Great video. Tells me I need to lubricate all the screws when I receive it. Thanks

i think that's becouse you didn't a great maintance to it. I mean, if you regurally spray on it crc marine and wash it every time it may last more. Even mercury are all rusty if you don't do a great maintance

Clearly you havnt looked after the motor, nor maintained it in any way shape or form. If you are running it maj ly in salt water you need to keep all exposed cables greased, the pull cord needs bee wax applying and before storing it away it needs to be run in non salt water for 5 mins. That's of course only my opinion.

I still don't know why you people take a perfectly good boat and put it in salt water. I like my Great Lakes freshwater

Great video! missing you Aussi's already.

IT WAS IN A SALTWATER ENVIRONMENT 24/7 ID SAY THAT IS REALLY GOOD FOR SOMETHING THAT DIDNT BELONG THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE

Did you ever do an accurate speed test on it?

Doing a pros and cons review with a 200 dollar motor in saltwater with no maintenance really .And i dont care if you have a yamaha if you dont do maintenance especially in saltwater you will ruin the motor this is not a fair review

man 6 months on the water, ( non fresh ) an it turnt into a ball of problems... i almost wonder if we sprayed the whole thing down with gear oil if it would help that corrosion.. hows that merc holding up out there any good? i still hear good about the newer mercury motors.

junk!

Great video!

Thank you for taking the time and energy to report 6 months later. Very, very helpful. Good on you.

Rusty...your fault!

From Pakistan

❤❤❤nice video

Does it still run?

Not a good engine but you guys are horrible with tools....I hope you don't work on anything that requires the use of tools for a living. Oh my god I wrote this comment under the influence of alcohol and can't believe how much of an understatement it was.

Hey can you share manual? I'm looking for spare parts code's

Happy New Year to all aboard Salacia Star!

Remember on water cooled you have to change the impeller every year and if it goes out while away from the sailboat you could overheat the expensive mercury or paddle back if you notice the water not spraying out the back.😮

Wow, another amazing episode of Sailing Salacia Star! It warms my heart to see you guys and Sunday together. It's always great to meet up with special friends in foreign places, just like you said. I love the idea of the two-hour watch shifts, it seems to be working great for you. And Lou, your new hair style looks fabulous! Keep up the great work, and thanks for the funny video. Cheers!! 🌊⛵️😄

Still remembering our great Sea Base trip this year

Nice vid guys. Ryan Didn't show himself "pulling" himself to your boat. That was a classic line Rick!!!

Good to see you and Brito and Ryan together again. Love your new hair style Lou

It warms my heart to see you guys and Sunday together.

Hi Lou ,Rick & Bouy. Whats always great about sailing is when we meet up again with our special friends in foreign places. Good idea about the 2 hr watch shifts we pretty much run the watch the same as you guys. I think its time to start calling Ryan ....Fabio ! Were now wintering in Porto Montenegro and its starting to get cold. Thanks for the funny video .Cheers Nige & Donna.🙂

"Where are the Boy Scouts when you need them?" - Wishing we were there!

Love going up the mast. NOT.

I have a Tomking 4 cycle. Much quieter than a 2 cycle and it's dependable. I'm in the position of feeling sorry for boaters with water cooled and heavy motors. It's easier to service than a Hangkai and it has an aluminum prop. On a sailboat, you might prefer a TK140FC 1 HP 18 LBS over my TK144FC 23 LBS. I don't leave fuel in the tank overnight. If you point it in a direction, it will get there. 4 cycles are a snap to start and they are quieter. Gulls and Elgins are an unusual exception.

Enjoyed that. You guys look great!

Did you spray Marine Grease all over the engine and components that would have prevented the rust buildup specially if you are in salt water just wondering because I'm looking at getting one

should have opened up the lid and greased the insides to prevent rust. i guess that this outboard wasn't for the average joe.

Rick! You’ve been set up for filleting failure! The fish Lou filleted had been on ice, which firmed up the flesh. In the recap of your attempted filleting, the fish looked warm and soft. Much more difficult task. I’d be wanting a rematch!

So kind of Mr Catamaran to weigh anchor himself and move elsewhere. Where do some people get their tickets... bottom of a Kellogs Cornflakes packet I think!!!

Just wow....!! How generous of Brian to donate the camera and gear to you. You must be chuffed.... 😁

When you are TH-cam superstars you get invited to play on millionaires toys. Really good video.😀

Marvellous!

I was wondering why there hadn’t been any new videos! Very well done. Hopefully your tutelage has a lasting impression on the 300 souls. Look forward to new weekly videos.

Enjoyed that!

Glad to see you back. Watched Sunday's scout episode last week.

Why aren't your video views increasing? And not reaching people? The reason is 1. Your video is not being SEO properly 2. white hate backlink Your videos are great but your channel is not being optimized, if you want I can help you grow your channel.

You should've packed it with grease to keep the saltwater from corroding everything.

Your biggest mistakes were buying the 2 cycle and no preventative maintenance. I have a Tomking TK144FC 4 cycle. Same size. I changed the centrifugal springs for trolling, filed and shimmed the flywheel slot for far less advanced ignition, greased the throttle and screw threads, 85W 140 oil for prop gear, and put a hand finish on the aluminum propeller. The same cheap start unit will last far longer because 4 cycles start much easier. They don't foul plugs. Water cooling means jellyfish.

Excellent Page. I'm looking forward to catching up on the past episodes.

Just saw this and was reminded that Puerto Rico is an island, yknow.

Hey friends! from Wilmington, nc.

not for saltwater maybe.😅😅😅

Is this in the ocean? How is this so rusty after 6 months wow. You should try rust spraying the metal parts to help keep your machine working for years to come :)

I've had mine in in Santa Rosa Beach Florida running in the bay every couple of weekends for over a year.. we take it out when tthe kids wanna go swim on weekends (kind of a miniature crab island like in Destin right outside of our neighborhood....motor still starts on 1st and 2nd pull... but I religiously flush it out as soon as we get back... she's not exactly fast but my twin and I have gone miles on the thing and never have any worries. (for you that don't already know...the bays are obviously salt water...) I run similar motors in RC boats (Zenoah style) so I've aquired the skill to troublehsoot and fix motors pretty good. ...only part I tend to break on occassion is the pull rope... FYI if you guys require replacements for the pull rope assembly.... zenoah and it's copycats work like a charm... same demensions... relatively same design.. around $14 bucks USD and usually last longer than the hangkai ones. last thing...I drilled a hole through the top of the cover big enough to get a long screwdriver through than a 2nd hole on the side (for eyeballing the fuel'air screw ).. makes it way easier to tune the carb to get the most performance out of it (without having to juggle cover parts, gas tank etc... elevations diffferent in china or wherever hangkai is... a slight turn or two will almost definately get you more revolutions out of her.....oh and stay away from the alum props... won't hurt it any...but weight defentials a tad higher and you'll loose a bit of speed... regardless of your ability to sharpen and balance....
