I went from an 18' outboard drive to a 28' inboard. Learned fast there was a lot i didnt know about boat handling. Joined a U,S, Power Squadron unit and learned a ton from some veteran boaters. Thank heaven for that. Wish there were videos like this when I started serious boating. Keep up the good work.
Trailered my boat down from Pennsylvania on my honeymoon and actually stopped in at shelter bay to try and meet you. I chickened out and left. Still kicking myself. Great vids thanks for your help over the years.
That is awesome!
Appreciated the comments regarding the trim. Tried the tips early this morning. Big difference. Thanks for your time and effort in helping newer boaters. Always enjoy your videos....the tying up of a boat was very helpful as well.
I personally love tight spots it’s always fun to show off your skills when every body’s watching waiting for you to hit something
I learned a long time ago to maneuver my boat. When I was growing up that was the first thing I was taught. Thanks for the helpful video for others and reminding. Keep up the good work capt. 👍
I'm US military stationed in Europe. It's always been my dream to buy a center console, but because of the uncertainty of being stationed overseas the past few years, it's highly impractical to buy a boat. Hopefully my last couple of years of service will bring me back to the states, maybe Florida...... in the meantime a BAB shirt would be nice 😁😁😁
I have learned a lot watching your videos. I spent last summer converting a 21-foot Wellcraft cuddy to a center console and found your channel on replacing a transom. I was able to complete my project and your video gave me enough to info to complete my project, so thank you. #Boatlife
Hi mate, fellow Marine and Mercury tech from the Northern Territory in Australia. Me and the boys at work enjoy watching your videos and how it’s done in the states! Boating here is very different and remote/isolated let’s say! Cheers
That explains why I have trouble maneuvering my little, flat-bottom canal boat I recently built and am now trying to drive with an outboard here in Tasmania! It spins on the spot but goes like a sailboat when the wind gets up. Blessings to you all.
Love your videos! So informative! Even being behind the helm for years I still love to watch how you teach. This helps me with wifey!
Thank you for the videos. With your videos and the BAB community, who have helped me tremendously, I have learned so much as a first time boater. Thank you for these.
Never considered the trim angle on the engines, but this makes a lot of sense and was really helpful. Will be trimming up a bit from now on in those tight spaces, even with twin engines.
Love it. Great refresher! Always appreciate the teaching. Never realized I was not subscribed. Am now!
#boatlife
Most useful boating videos on youtube. Keep it up
As a boater with less than a year of experience, I’m all about this content.
These techniques were very helpful thank you for sharing I'm a fairly new pontoon boat owner this will go into my third season and someone once told me never approach anything faster than you're willing to hit it so that's been my motto but thank you for helping learn to turn around and take places
Great explanation for a beginner like myself. Thanks!
I honestly get excited once these technician tuesday vids upload gives me the motivation to go and work on my own boat I swear the information you provide you should be charging payment for each vid 😂😂 I would be SOL but appreciate every single one alot and thanks again Aaron!!
I really enjoy the information on your videos. I'm not super familiar with outboards, so anytime you have a video that focuses on them, I really pay attention. My buddy is looking for a tri-toon and they are primarily equipped with these type of motors. I am very mechanically inclined, as he is not, so I want to be able to help with the search of a solid tri-toon and maintenance in the future. Keep up the great work and have a good week!!!
Just upgraded from a '77 mako to a '93 contender. The difference is night and day with how it maneuvers and loving every minute of it! #boatlife
You are such a good teacher, great explaination!! Thanks!
Good stuff! Stumbled on this channel and subscribed!
Great content, all levels of experience are able to learn something here. Glad to see the channel making more videos.
Definitely good tips for my next trip.
You just made backing up way better for me👍👍
I learned something new today. I will trim my motor up when trying to run in reverse.
I'm currently running a 21' Wellcraft walkaround. #boatlife Keep up the great videos!! :)
I love the detailed effort you put in each episode 👍
My dad taught me a long time ago a valuable lesson about turning and controlling a boat, always steer before you gear and neutral is your friend. 2019 Sportsman Masters 247 #Boatlife
Never knew about raising the trim when backing up for better control. Thanks!
more videooo!!
your doing the best video about boating ever
Thanks super helpful content as usual! I love the full project videos with fiberglassing etc.
Glad you like them!
Love this channel makes me want to buy a fixer upper with all the how to’s!
It is always a good day when there is a new BAB video! I think a good video idea would be wiring up a second battery and installing a voltage sensing relay and battery switch. Keep up the great work. It is very much appreciated! 05 Tahoe Q8I#boatlife
The pontoon crashing into the dock was in the town I live in Destin Florida. Great video also
I enjoy your vidoes a lot, I just purchased my first ever boat, a 20' pontoon boat. Just started to do some upgrade stuff and I didn't realize how expensive stuff was lol.
Great content very informative and film quality was awesome with the drone
Glad you enjoyed it
There is no shortage of space where I currently am but I’ve seen some tight marinas where this info would help. Thanks BAB.
Always love your videos. I'm a newer boat owner with a 22 ft center console with a 200 hp motor. Thanks! #boatlife
Great tips! keep the videos coming. Got a 1996 Mako 19 running the original 150 Merc on it. super solid little boat #boatlife
Very helpful tips when battling the wind in my Carolina Skiff 23 Ultra Elite. #boatlife Flat bottom boat with a single outboard makes it difficult to maintain control. I have noticed it does tend to continue floating sideways when trying to turn around. Practice makes perfect - great video!
The most important thing is knowing your boat. Practice makes everything easier.
Another great informational video!
2003 Sea Ray 220 Sundeck. Great video, keep them coming.👍
Nice Evergreen reference! Love it!!! I have a 2021 Bass Tracker boat. #boatlife
Thank You I learn something every time I watch you! Question On a single motor the scage on the bottom of motor should face right or left? And how much ? I have a 19.2 Grady white with a Yamaha 200 4 stroke
Your doing such a good job keep up the good work
I have a regal 28 ft bow rider with a counter rotating Volvo penta duo prop. It is so difficult to steer with the one engine in tight places especially trying to fit a 9 ft into a 10 or 12 ft boat slip at the Lake of the Ozarks. It is difficult to anticipate with the wakes coming in off the main channel. Patience is always the best medicine.
I enjoy all your videos and all the help you provide for boaters. Yes every boat is different and the best way to get better with a boat is practice. I am relearning how to drive a recently restored 15' jet boat compared to an outboard and I/O. #boatlife
Thank you for these useful tips! I did not know about trimming the engine out for better steering in reverse. I own a Windy 8000 which is a Norwegian boat most people probably don’t know. However, it was designed by the same man who designed the Nasty Class patrol boats which was used by the US in the 60’s. I think that’s a pretty cool pedigree #Boatlife
Love this.. thanks for great info
Great video - thanks! Wish I saw this a couple of years ago....
Awesome!! Love the content
Thanks for the video !
Thanks for your videos. I own a 5 meter cabin boat with a 50hp Suzuki outboard. I am always pretty stressed when I have to dock in a narrow canal because there is not much space to turn and position the bow right between the other boats. My hull is pretty "flat" and the boat keeps sliding, especially when it's windy. I am sure your next videos will be very helpful.
#Boatlife
#boat life, for my inshore stuff i custom-built a 14ft copy of a Johnsen skiff. even with that little boat, i use a lot of the tricks you mentioned here!
Don't know if anyone has told you but your little clips you edit into your video's are funny as hell. Like the dog getting launched by the tube on the slip and slide and all the SpongeBob clips in your other video's.....hilarious 😂
Thank you! Sometimes there is way too much time spent trying to find a good clip and the video just doesn't get edited for hours lol
Heavier loads can cause difficulties. Prop walk and prop wash in reverse in mild wind and a heavy load sometimes means I can't get the boat to turn at all. I'll try raising the prop next time. In the meantime, give everyone an oar to help avoid obstacles, and ask them to not shift their weight. 😀
Thanks for the info it was great info!
Twin engines for the win
Always great content, thank you.
Much appreciated!
As someone who drives a boat as a career, I take a lot of pride in driving/ boat control. Love the videos! #Boatlife
Always great advice
thank you!
I have a F115 Yamaha that I did a spring tune up on. After sitting at idle for an extended period of time it bogs out when accelerated. Do you think this could be an overheating issue or fuel pressure regulator? Thanks man, love the videos.
Man I just love that old 27 Ocean Master
Thanks for the info it helps!
25' Hydra Sport Center Console #boatlife. Great video!!
The mercury shifter has more modes tho, if you slow down to no throttle while in gear, the handle will kind of click into the no throttle, and then after that there is neutral. Same applies for reverse :D
Yo that free shirt sounds nice, but on a serious note I love your videos that are in great detail
Glad you like them!
Lot's of good tips. As most things, practice makes you better. I didn't hear much talk about tide. Wind and tide can be a real issue when docking for me in a tidal river. I have a C-Hawk 22' Pilot house boat. The pilot house acts like a sail when it's windy.... #Boatlife
Laughed so hard about the dog lmao he had no idea!
Could you please do a video on how to convert a tiller motor to remote steer
Great video!
You should Make safety video of tip on how to handle your boat in bad weather please
Glad you made this. Hopefully the people who need to watch it get to! Haha
I needed this
Good information, thanks for sharing.
Thank you 👍
I have a tunnel Hull with a extremely elevated outboard and a triple cupped 4 blade prop... It does nothing but splash in reverse lol.
another great topic. 2005 action craft 1720, 2013 sea fox 199 #boatlife
I will tell you sometimes when the tides are swiftly changing it is impossible to dock...lol... Especially at tTaveneer Creek Marina..#boatlife
A minor quibble with what you said about slow speed maneuverability and multi-hull boats, cats in particular. I can't argue with your statement _IF_ you assume that the mono-hull and the cat have only a single engine on the centerline of the hull. However most cats, even in the 20 foot range, have twin engines so slow speed maneuvers (u-turns especially) would be easier than even a twin engine monohull of the same size due to the separation between the engines. Even so, practice, _practice, PRACTICE any maneuver you think you may need to make so you _WILL_ do it the right way when you don't have time to think about it.
Great video! I live on a really skinny canal, and I see people struggle with this all the time. I always tell them "Neutral is your friend!" I have a 24' SeaRay Sundeck. #Boatlife
Thanks for sharing!!
Wheel work in neutral for OBs and IOs.
Add some wind/current...a whole new, interesting ball game..
as always great info
Thanks for this!
1981 14ft McKee Craft center console, like the videos
I've learned a lot about close quarter maneuvering while vacationing in the Keys, my only challenge is the storm winds. My boat thinks it's a huge sail. :-) #boatlife
slow and steady. My rule of thumb is don't go faster than how hard you want to hit the object or dock
I've got a 17 foot proline, that was an I/O but i pulled that and put an outboard on a bracket on it. - i love a closed stern. Also, i'm in the market for a lobster style boat - for pulling pots this season - if anyone is looking to get rid of theirs.
Good vídeo !!
Finally a vid after so so long
Good tips to hone skills.
1959 Glasspar Trident powered by a 1971 mercury 500 #boatlife
Thanks for all of the tips! #boatlife
I enjoy your videos. 🏍💨🏍💨
i got a 19 glasspro with twin 70 yamaha. thanks for the tips #boatlife
Thanks , 2019 Robalo R180
Nice, thanks
Great Video. I've got a 28ft aluminum pilot house boat with dual outboards made by Kingfisher. Can you do a video with advice on how I should handle it. I launch at the Berkeley Marina boat launch in Berkeley Ca (37.86847492423435, -122.31770994341878) and it is tight and narrow. Every time I launch I worry about hitting boats in the slip. If it is to windy I just reverse all the way out. Never thought about trimming the motors up when in reverse.
I have a 266 sc world cat ,turns good in light current but a heavy current it can be a nightmare.
