Hey man on my TV that engine sounds great you did a wonderful job stop second-guessing yourself ride out
@samcole7315 lol cap. Thank you for believing in me cap. You arr awesome 👍
Hey my friend, I was the subscriber who said to you that I was fortunate to go to Honeymoon Harbour. The experience was absolutely amazing. Thank you! Because of your kindness my sister and I experienced a day of awesomeness! TY Crooked Boat!!!!!
@johnsavala8202 I mentioned you on the previous video cap. And is awesome tha you and your sister made it here cap. Thank you for being part of the channel.And I will probably see you one day out there captain👍
Hey captain, how did your home do with the storm Helene?
I believe they will ruin that beautiful paradise by continuing to build islands and along with that comes thousands more visitors. My guess is that $$$$ talks and that is how they are permitted to dredge. Maybe after the motor gets broken-in that the mpg will improve. I don't have much experience on boating at night so I'm curious are you watching your radar when on autopilot on your trip to the Bahamas? Anyhow, as always I enjoy your videos.
@tomd.43 Yes captain the dragging Ruins the.
Corals Because of the dust of sand.
And yes , I am washing the raider all the time for any dots that appear on the screen , that's how I'd navigate, captain.Thank you for watching my channel
Hi Capt.... beautiful video; love the drone shots.... I hope you get the engine height/prop-issue fixed soon.... I would hate to be the one changing the oil in 'Stanz' FOUR engines!! That would be a big job!... ☺
@andrewfyakim525 yes cap. Soon I will figure this out And a lot of you.
Rs are helping with their comments
And yes 4 engine oil change is a day job specifically taking the boat out of the water cap. Have a great sunday captain
👀 MMMMM Bacon-and-eggs lobster sandwich. I need to try that wend I see my family in Miami fla 😊😊
@@lionhart2728 Yes captain tried for breakfast it's awesome
Have you ever thought of putting in a jack plate?? A jack plate can improve a boat's performance in several ways, including:
Better fuel economy: A jack plate can help improve fuel economy by reducing drag and resistance.
Increased speed: A jack plate can increase speed by reducing drag and resistance.
Improved handling: A jack plate can improve handling and make it easier to plan.
Access to shallow waters: A jack plate can raise the engine vertically, allowing the boat to navigate shallow waters.
Reduced corrosion: A jack plate can lift the motor out of the water when docking to reduce corrosion.
Optimal setback: A jack plate can increase the space between the motor and the transom, which can improve performance.
Rough water performance: A jack plate can lower the engine deeper in the water to help the boat stay on plane in rough seas.
Engine height control: A jack plate allows for more control over the engine's height and performance.
Jack plates come in both manual and hydraulic versions, with manual versions being less expensive. The size of jack plate needed depends on the length of the boat.
I agree definitely will help
@@GameDrop23 Thank you for your awesome help.I will keep that in consideration once I Raise the engine one more bolt.I will have no choice.Thank you captain
@@GameDrop23 jack plates are great when navigating shallow water too.
Hey Capt! Don't know if you tried the Eco prop. You have to get the hub kit to fit Yamaha. Not cheap, but you will save in the long run,and pay you back on the eco. You know the pitch to run, but it makes "THE" best economy,aswell as performance. My buddy is going faster top end,and saveing fuel in his "sweet spot". Keywest Waterman from utube does a comparison. He has them now too. He has Mercury 225 but you can buy a hub kit to fit yours. Look into it Capt. Checkout Keywest's comparison too! I believe they are what your looking for! "ENERTIA ECO" prop!
@@stevenfischer5392 Awesome, captain.I will look it up.I saw his video when he did that but I did not know the bride.Thank you for your suggestion.I will look it up
I’ve been in the boat business for most of my 40 yr career. Selling Yamaha and Suzuki outboards. Typically you want the cavitation plate ( aka ventilation plate) about 1/2” to 3/4” above the keel of the boat. If you watch the close up of the water coming off the keel you’ll notice the water comes up as it comes off the keel when on a plane. Raising the motor one more notch will probably help.
This is what I found on line: "On plane with proper outboard motor height and trim, the AV plate should be slightly above or at the water level. Visible and being splashed with water, not buried." From your video it looks about right.
@tomd.43 Awesome information, captain.Thank you for finding it for me.And it looks to me like mine is a little bit Over the cavitation play , so I think moving it up May help.Let's see.I will do that soon And I will show you if it helped captain.Thank you so much for reaching out to me
Hey Cap. Looks like the new motor is working out well. Glad to see you on this adventure. Say hi to the puppy and Admiral for me and I hope ya'll faired well in the storm. God bless. 😎🤙
@Captain_Clark_CDoryAdventures Hello captain clark and yes We made it out okay from the storm , but some Others didn't unfortunately and thank you.I would pass on the hello cap. And have it awesome weekend

Good morning. On top of your boat transom. Should line up with your. inside top mount engine bracket. bottom of the boat the lowest point should lineup bottom of anti-ventilation plate . I enjoy your video. captain.🙏🏼😄
@RalphSanabria Great point, captain and yes, I need to make that really good level.So the engine will write better.I will get that done soon.Thank you for watching and I'll keep you up dated captain
Set motor anti ventilation plate .5 to 1” above the bottom of the V of hull.
21’ boat with a 225 I feel like you should be going closer to 40 mph turning 5200 rpm.
Hi From Australia, :)
@anthony_8122 Hello
Anthony and thank you for watching Is from beautiful australia👍
Capitan de los capitanes tienes que bajar el pitch de la propela probar algo con menos inclinación y subir ese motor y te va a dar la economía que tú buscas el motor está muy abajo y lo más importante es probar pro apelas
@@DeepBlueChannelCom muy cierto capitan y si pronto lo probare en el agua aver como funsiona capi buen dia y gracias por ver mi videos
I thought you needed to raise the motor before but after looking at your video it looks pretty good. Like others have said, a higher pitch 3 blade prop will give you better fuel economy for sure. For every degree higher on pitch it reduces your rpm’s by about 200. Also, a 17 pitch goes 17 inches forward per rotation. A 21 goes 21 inches per rotation so you can see going higher your moving through the water faster and your rpm’s are reduced. Both things give you better fuel economy.
thanks Steve great info cap that helps me on making my decision cap 👍👍
I have the same engine Yamaha 2018 F 300 4.2 liter, your engine looks like it could be raised. Move it up one bolt. The other suggestion would be changing to a 4 blade. I used the yamaha on line prop guide and got better mpg at cruise..
@@bobbambace9580 what size prop you are using cap
Maybe a custom-made propeller based on boat size/weight and the engine's horsepower? Tell the shop what you are wanting as far as speed, MPG, etc. Little bit more trim tab? That engine must be heavier? Moving faster and saving time using a tad more fuel means: "Time is Money". The engine will only get more efficient with time and use. The people that suggested the jack plate probably know way more than me. Sounds like the MinnKota needs a service? The CPH is running like a sports boat, Don Aronow would be proud! Nice people, Stanz Fishing. The young lady seemed to know quite a bit.
@jeffreypinder9398 yes the wife is a pro wen it comes to boats engine too, and yes I will find a solution on my fuel savings At least the engine is running perfect.I just need to tune it a better propeller and maybe Raising the engine, Thanks for watching captain and see you on the next video
I have twin Yamaha 200's on my Parker I run 15x15 Mercury props I cruise at 42-4300 1.8 mpg..that 250 has a ton more power on the bottom end than the 200 you had, not sure how you ran your 200hp but the 250 should do it at less rpm..on the Yamaha 200's when you get to 4500 they got loud and burned a lot more fuel. I bet the sweet spot on the 250 would be 3800- 4000 rpm
@@falconkallista Yes, captain.Once I make all my adjustments and get a new propeller.I should get a lot better mileage.Hopefully and definitely, I will let you know captain how it turns out.Thank you for your information
I would raise it. Have a 04F225 on a 22 walkaround. Run between 3800 and 4400. Between 28-34 mph get 2.4-2.6 using trim tab, but you have a lot more weight than I do. I got to use my tabs though or get beet to death. I also think you have the wrong prop. I would go back to a three blade.
yes now in this video i was using the 3 blade prop 14.5 by 15 pitch and that was the results i show in this video but i will try raising the engine 1 more hole to see how it works cap. thanks for your help.
I have a hard time understanding you especially since your mouth is covered I can't read your lips either. When the boat is underway it's even more difficult to understand you. That being said, I do enjoy your videos. Stay safe!
@@bobkibbe4485 Sorry about that captain and thank you for watching the channel
Hello, captain. Well, that was another great adventure that you took us along on.
That was a shame about your spotlock. Trolling motor come all that way, and it's hard to bottom fish. That would irritate me to hopefully you get it. Figured out or get a new one something. And stanz, I know you watch his videos but I don't know if you know that they own his family and his own bud &Mary's Marina down in the keys. He does some great videos too. Glad you ran into him. That was pretty cool. Well, captain, be safe. I hope you fared well with the storm. The hurricane Helene, we did okay only lost power for 5 minutes. Nothing compared to what other people are going through right now. This moment, stay safe, love the video.
@oceandeepfishing4555 That is great to know captain.I've watched his videos and I see the marina but I did not know his family owner , I'm glad the things are going great for them.Their great people, And yes the storm nothing Happen here and i'm glad you're okay too captain because you were a closer range of the storm, Thanks for watching and see you in the next video captain
Sorry.i ment on your pilothouse boat
Hi Capt. The motor seems to be mounted at the proper height. Trimming the motor up will improve speed and mpg. Also compare mpg using gps vs motor pitot speed to see which one is is better. Since you had overflow the last time you fueled up, is there a chance you had more fuel in the tank than you realized?
Thanks for these videos, you’re my favorite TH-camr 😊
@sharpjs1969 great point cap. And no it was the vent problem because wen I checked the fuel gage was low 10 gallons about, I think is that vent canister that needs to be change cap. I will keep you updated on any fix and thank you for watching.Have a great weekend captain
From what I observed with the engine trim all the way down, the engine mounting height seems ok. If it was too low, you'd be getting side spray from the lower and the steering would feel tight. Your four blade prop "might" run in the highest mounting position, but I don't believe that a three blade prop would run that high without slipping.
Hard to be 100% sure without a sea trial. As expensive as fuel is maybe you should try the highest position.
@panamacitybeachbum Good suggestion, captain.I will try the highest position to see if it frees up the engine a little and get better fuel economy.It's worth the shot, And
I'll keep you updated To see if this works were all excited to see this Is engine perform great thank you captain
Hey mate, I was thinking if you're using your trim tabs? Boat looks to be stern heavy, using the trim tabs may bring the bow down and let the nose chop through the sea, this may bring your MPG down. Sorry just thought to ask.
@Camma57 I think since the engine is heavier and the batteries are in the back of the boat makes a huge drop but i'm gonna keep an eye on it and i'm a racist engine some moreI think since the engine is heavier and the batteries are in the back of the boat makes a huge drop, but I'm gonna keep an eye on it and I'm a racist engine some more.
And see how it performs and if it doesn't work I will Have to do some other upgrades.Thank you for your awesome suggestion captain N c u on the next video
At least you have a lot of options Cap. Thanks to your awesome viewers suggestions. And you have some lobsters to make up for the fishing problems!
very true cap 8 lobsters is awesome for my trip , thanks cap for coming along 👍👍
Hey.
Captaini forgot to mention in my last comment. I was gripping the side of my chair when you was traveling at 30 miles an hour in that shallow water. Looking at all those rocks. I was so happy when you finally got to that islandthat's a scary situation. Running that shallow with those rocks. I sure hate to see the bottom end of your new motor get messed up.
Captain, stay safe. See you on your next video.
@@oceandeepfishing4555 Very true captain.I was scared too, but I've been through here many times and it's been the same situation.It looks like the rocks are not that big, but they look scary.Thank you captain
Hello am enjoying your video.hiw was your trip to the berry island?
And how long it take for you to get their on your catamerine boat?
@@KendalTurnquest-z1g it took about 2 :30 hrs cap that was fas for me , Usually it takes me about three and a half hours
nice video my friend! check if you can reset everything you can in that Minnkota system, the circuit board/breaker and the unit itself. The best of luck to you.
@@ramonqueloquera Great suggestion, captain and I did that, but nothing happened, but I'm gonna open it up and see what's wrong with it.I don't think it's the batteries now
Hey cap, if the cavitation plate is below the keel, then raise it up, in my experience I like the cavitation plate even or an inch or so above the keel. Too high then the boat starts to porpoise and you have to manipulate the trim tabs to get the boat to run right and then prop blows out when you start to add trim. Typically if the boat starts to porpoise that means the prop is slipping a bit, it is grabbing and trying to lift the boat but then it slips, usually adding cup to the prop resolves this issue. I certainly would not be opposed to trying the top mounting position but I think when you add pitch to your prop and a bit more cup I think you will find the sweet spot. Maybe a prop like the Solas Scorpion Prop would be the right trick, they are great props not too expensive and they come with a good bit of cup out of the box.
love your comment cap it makes lots of sense and i have a Yamaha prop that i have not tried yet and has more cup in the prop i will try that too and i will look at the Scorpio from solas up, thanks cap for trying to help me 😊👍
Be sure to change oil when you come back
@codernov yes is the initial oil change ,great suggestion cap. Thank you, I did the engine breaking at the Bahamas LO.L
Thanks for taking us out Capt. I don't know how you survived till noon on that light lobster bacon and egg breakfast 🤣👍🏻

@garrieparsons2265 Thank you, captain.I have heard a lot of youviewers telling me that.
Thanks for your recommendation I really appreciate it captain
From what you were showing how the cavitation plate is below the water, I would raise the motor another hole. Either that or install a jack plate. Economy and performace will improve.
@@DixieSwampman-ce4bx That's exactly what I'm thinking, captain and yes, I will do that, and I'll keep you updated on how it performs.Thank you for watching and your suggestion captain

@johngranato2673 Thank you, John for watching and have a beautiful Sunday.Captain see you on the next one
My boat runs best and gets the best fuel economy with the trim tabs all the way down and the motor trimmed up as high as I can get it without ventilation. My boat is a lot lighter in the bow than yours, so it may not be the same for you but worth a try.
@ChrisCallahan00 Yes, captain, I experienced that on the past engine.The higher you put the engine the more fuel economy because the less dragged But this one is a little different.I probably need some adjustments and I'll keep you Update it thanks for watching
When I had my boat and replace the engine I set the engine so the cavitation plate was level/ at the same plane as the bottom of the boat. If the shaft of this engine is the same as your old one you should be using the same holes on the engine.
flush with the keel
@user-ph8zz7zm5f looks like the shaft is different but yes the water needs to be under the cavitation plate ,I think that's my problem cap. Thanks for the suggestion cap.
Yes that is exactly what you have at that speed you need to be seen the prop the engine is to low you need to put it all way up what size way the 200 25” or 20”
@yunielky2008 the 200 was 25 inch shaft the same as the 225 cap
Another amazing vid Capt. I would take a vid to a boat place near you to help with the location of the motor, you have the best boat builders down by you. Nick is awesome love going to bud n marys that 47 freeman is insane
@ratfinkron5793 he's is a awesome guy down to earth and yes his boat is insane 4 motors is a blast and yes I will find out about the motor high 👍👍thanks cap.
I ran into Capt. Nick down at Bud and Mary’s last year. I wish I had more time to go out and fish with him. I’m learning the gulf waters now off FMB trying to get to know the layout and how to find the fish on my own. It’s a labor of love.
@@Shawnpmetal yes it is cap. And once you know you'll be fishing in my case I fish mostly in the bahamas so I do a lot of deep drop

Yes raise the motor your creating more drag on the boat it should be 25” from the top of the transum to the top of the keel
thanks cap sounds like a great choice thanks and i will bring you the results wen i doo that , thanks for you help cap.
What prop are you currently running and what prop do you plan on getting for better fuel economy?
@denniskim7368 Hello captain i'm running a 14.5 by 15 pitch But once I raise the engine one more bolt.Maybe I have more RPM to change the prop.But now i'm just getting suggestions to see what is the best prop for my boat.
Any suggestions?I would love to hear it captain thank you
You can go to construction sites and get old rebar which is just fine for deep dropping
@@glenstuart7823 Thank you, captain.I think people do that appreciate the suggestion
Cavitation seems correct. Use a straight edge to confirm. 17inch prop would give you about another 300-400rpm increasing fuel eco. My second guess would be a 20/21 pitch
@JasonCooper242 Thank you, Jason.I will definitely try to figure that out and see if I can go higher pitche like you say thank you
@JasonCooper242 And I'll be Is raising up the engine soon
Idk about mpg but 5100 rmp at 34 mph in a 21 is crazy. I cruise at 4100 rpms at 35 mph fully loaded with 4-6 people. And I have a 1989 mako 23 walkaround with a bracket. With a mercury optimax. There are tons of videos about engine height, easy to check all you need is a level that can reach from the hull of the bot to the engine lower unit
very true cap i will do that wen i get the chance to raise the engine 1 more bolt i will bring the results soon , thanks cap.

Hi Capt. I’ve been enjoying your journey with the new engine. I was hoping you’d go for a Suzuki but with gauges, engine fitting etc I fully agree with the reasons for staying with Yamaha. Your fuel economy is terrible, no doubt trialling props and adjusting height will see big improvements. I get 3.5 mpg with a 300 Zuke and my boat is bigger and heavier than yours. My mate has a 200 Yammy on similar size boat and he easily gets 5 mpg- amazingly good. Oh, nice haul of crayfish (lobster) too 👍🏻🐟🐟🎣🎣🛥💨🍺🍺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Something is wrong, the bigger motor should run easier and burn less. I have a 250 on my 23 Dusky which is bigger and heavier. I get 2.6-2.8 at 27-28mph. You shouldn't have to run the RPM's up that high either. My cruise is 37-4000 rpms. Motor height or props need to change. Or the gauges are wrong
The motors cooked mate. 👍 There is only 1 good yamaha for the pilot boat. That was your last boat, just look at the mpg you got out of your old motor. it's the only one that was economical.
Did you ever think about adding a whales tale onto the outboard motor I never use the one but they say they can help in certain situations
yes i will think about it after i raise the engine to see if it helps fist cap but that is a option im thinking about 👍

It’s possible that the continual flopping of your trolling motor cord fron the bouncing in rough waters could have the wires inside the trolling motor loosened. If you watch your video you can see how the curled power cord constantly bounces up and down and over time that can cause the wires inside to come apart. Might want to check that. I mean look at the beating you take from the rough waters imagine how everything on the boat is getting beat all to heck.

@@DG-ig9xy No, captain.I have three remotes and I try all of them
Hey Cap. That engine is buried. Needs to be raised. Follow Yamaha’s recommendations and use hole #4.
Also your prop seems to have too much slip. Are you using a small diameter prop? Per Yamaha you should have a 3-blade 15.5 x 17. You should be able to fast cruise at 4500 RPM. You’ll love the boat after that.
hello cap and yes im using my old 200 prop 14.5 by 15pitch so you think 15.5 x17 pitch is good?
i will raise it to the 4th hole soon, thanks cap. Saludos de Florida
and ware did you find that info cap ? thanks
TH-cam does not let me post the link. Google “Yamaha Performance Bulletins”. Once there use the filter to choose Parker boats. There is bulletin for a Parker 22cc with a small block 200 and another with the large block 250 (same block as yours). The 200 uses the 14.5 día prop on hole 3. The 250 uses the 15.5x17 on hole 4. They get 3 mpg with that setup, just slightly less than the 200. And optimal cruise at 3500rpm.

He getting beat to hell.. damn
@softballbryan It's the only way to ride har But it hurts l o l
Time to learn how to fish for Dolphin and Tuna, no trolling motor needed
Thanks for sharing cap
My pleasure!! cap thanks for watching 👍
I am still hoping for a trip to the Exumas?
Wish I had flat water like that... nice vid captn
I think you need to have things recalibrated again Capt.. Connect back to your ecu and get a proper prop back on that new motor.. You should be getting a lot better mileage from that motor.
I won’t even tell you how much fuel I use with quint 450r’s.
yes i agree cap i need to readjust my system prop and Hight and your 450 r are very thirsty sorry to hear that cap. is expensive to be on the water cap.
@@OutOnTheReef definitely Capt they’re very thirsty, but at 75 mph they’re sweet sounding. Totally worth the price of fuel.
@@beozzie690 that is fast cap. That will make it to bimini in 50 minutes 😁👍🛥
@@OutOnTheReef Capt that’s only 3/4 throttle, still have a fair bit more in her when I’ve pinned it.
@@beozzie690 that's a dream machine cap.
Thank you cpt!
@@robgun1895 Thank you for watching and have a great sunday captain
Nice capitán 👨✈️ good navegación 🧭.
And after the motor breaks in, then dial it in
Hay que subir ese motor
eso es lo que pienson cap gracias por confirmarmelo , saludos capi.
Any one know if the bigger prop helped with fuel mileage?
@goldentrim344 A professional prop guy told me that Yes but it all needs to be tried ,he recommended me a 15.75 by 15 pitch But I think there's a little bit too big
@@OutOnTheReef ok cool. You got this easy peasy. I run a four blade prop on a 50hp 1980 15 foot trihull. I love the low speed control and hull shot.
@@goldentrim344 awesome cap. I'll keep you updated
I fill alot better now about my boat burning 3.3 gallons on a ten mile trip doing 23 - 25 mph.
yes cap 3.3 is great MPG i witch i can do that , and how heavy is your boat cap?
@@OutOnTheReef 950 lbs with me and two kids. It's a 50 HP two stroke.
@goldentrim344 that's why you are doing good mpg cap my boat fully loaded is 6000 Lb
@@OutOnTheReef That's crazy heavyd my Catalina 25 sail boat is 4100 lbs. I use a tohatsu sail pro 6hp to push it 4 mph.
The engine is to low in the transom✌️

Water pressure ?
@@morriscorreia7282 not sure cap
@@OutOnTheReef when you raise the engine make sure of water pressure
@morriscorreia7282 good point cap so I can get enough cooling thanks for the heads up cap 👍🛥
get yourself a 33 foot hydra cuddy and those rough days will be smooth days
@@gotstars lol cap. Maybe in the future it will be an option.Thank you for your suggestion captain
Jack plate would make sense. Believe also the small incremental changes you made on the last engine made your gas mileage increase. Thanks for being awesome captain.
@GingerNinja68 Thank you captain and yes I'll make this new move and raise the engine up a little more the last bolt And go from there to see if it fixed anything and thank you for being an awesome viewer of the channel And see you on the next video
Adjusting the motor height will not help. The video shows you are at a good running height now, with water just over the cav plate.
I think your mileage is bad because you are using a 15” pitch 3 blade prop. That is way too small.
You need to go to a 20” pitch 4 blade prop which will reduce your WOT rpm and top speed, but increase your efficiency and thereby reduce your fuel consumption at normal cruising speeds of 4000 to 4800 rpm. Higher pitch = better gas mileage.
There is no way you should be running at 5200 rpm in choppy seas trying to get over 2 mpg. You are beating yourself and your boat up for no reason. As mentioned below, your minnkota issues may also be related to loosened wires due to all that slamming.
@@lengadaleta5051 And what diameter of the four blade prop captain?
Stay with the same diameter, or larger. Don’t go smaller on diameter.
Higher pitch props generally give you better milage since your rpm is lower over the distance travelled…takes less revolutions to get there.
Look at it this way Captain:
Pitch is the distance in inches (theoretical without any slip factor) that the boat will move forward for every revolution of the prop.
So, at “4000” rpm with a “15” pitch prop, your boat will travel 4000 x 15 = 60,000 inches = 5000 feet in one minute.
At that same 4000 rpm, with a “20” prop, your boat will travel forward 80,000 inches = 6,666 feet.
See the advantage? More distance for the same gas burned.
@lengadaleta5051 That makes a lot of sense His captain , but if the diameter is not big enough according to the Is the boat size and weight It could be some slippish and you don't get those inches Of the pitch
@@lengadaleta5051 thanks cap👍🛥
