How I Flip Boat Motors for QUICK CASH (Best Side Hustle?)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ก.ค. 2024
- In this video I am giving you guys an inside look at how I find deals on old outboard boat motors and how I fix a lot of common issues that they have. I cover the things to check with no tools before you buy, how to test spark and compression, replacing parts like fuel pumps, ignition coils, and cleaning carburetors. I also show you how to make motors more presentable for sale!

I'd love to see you pull it apart and get that junk out! These are very informative and useful videos, great job!
@@joshlampe3458 I really appreciate that! Let’s do it 💯
I would absolutely watch you pull the powerhead and clean the water jacket! Very informative and enjoyable content!
Brother..found your channel a few days ago and subscribed right away. Binged all your videos and just wanna tell ya you’re absolutely rocking it. Just picked up my first boat and motor and am stoked to use what I’ve learned for my own projects 🤙🏻
@@chanceburkle5025 brother thank you so much for that! If you ever need any help on the projects shoot me a DM on my instagram, same username.
I love watching you do these flips and enjoy the little boat engines
@@ethannawrocki8061 thank you so much man!
Don't even own a boat and I love your videos. Let's see what's going on with this thing. Appreciate all the hard work on your content.
@@dinkylawler3314 thank you man! Means a lot
Nice work and presentation. I flip a few outboards too. Specialize in 1980's Honda 4 strokes - they are pretty much bulletproof. One thing that I do to give the buyer confidence and get top dollar is to pressure test the lower unit. You might have to make your own fitting to screw into the lower unit fill holes. Then use a bicycle pump to pump it up to around 10psi. Then soapy water to to check all the oil seals for any leaks. There's a lot of cash to be make on these old motors. I find that most of them have been sitting in grandpa's garage for many years and just need the carb cleaned, an impeller and a new fuel filter
@@jimdinthed absolutely! Never done pressure tests, but would be great to add to the presentation. Good advice!! Also those old Hondas are awesome, just tricky to find certain parts for for me!!
I would love to see you pull the power head. Drinking a beer now watching the transformation of these motors. Keep it up loving the videos.
Cheers man I appreciate you 🍻
Insanley good video! Looking forward to the next
Very nice! and honest man to do business with, keep it coming bro! I'm looking into a first budget jon boat so these help me piece together a budget built.
Great content and very informative thank u and much love to ya from Maryland❤❤❤
My first comment on TH-cam ever, great videos mate keep it up are doing an awesome job, love watching them on my lunch break all the way over in New Zealand.
@@jeremytorr4826 that’s so awesome man, really appreciate that it’s an honor! 🇺🇸🤝 🇳🇿
This was a great video! I really enjoyed it. I just subscribed.
@@gregm8418 means the world to me thank you!
you make it look simple, been fighting with a Merc carb for months
Your a good honest man. Great job. Love your videos
@@brianmooney7009 really appreciate that 🤝 thank you
Heck yeah pull it . I’m so glad I came across your channel. You got me hooked now.
@@31sweetcorn appreciate you brotha 🤝 glad you’re here
Yes new video on cleaning water jacket!
Thank you for posting this
Subscribed! Love informative vids.
@@jmblakeney1 thank you brotha 🤝
Yes I would be very interested and grateful if you would pull that powerhead and take us along with you! Love this channel! 👍
@@magoo72112 really appreciate that!!
Recently bought my first boat that has an outboard Johnson 140hp two stroke, this video was very informative on what to look for with these motors, as a car guy I feel a lot more confident in my ability to do the maintenance on my motor now thanks to this video! Would love to see you pull this thing apart! Hell I might even start my own shop here in Hawaii now 😂 the market for these motors out here are insane! New sub! 🤙
@@robertozamora8901 appreciate you man!! They’re not hard when you learn your way around 💯
Very thorough
I’m down to see the water jackets get cleaned out. Love the video, great info bud!,,
Love the videos, great walk through! Let’s see the power head video too!
@@Antique_Outboard_Revival appreciate you!!
New subscriber! Let’s get cleaning out that water jacket!!
Definitely would like to see you pull the powerhead and give an in depth on that.
I have a 115 Johnson Evinrude and pay money to people who I think are ripping me off. I'm learning from you, can't wait to see you work on a motor like that
@@JuanSepulveda-d7s check out the video I have on my bass boat flip! That was a Johnson 150 GT, similar!! Who’s ripping you off???
New subscriber here (you got me with the strong bond scenario)! Yes pull the power hear please!
@@johnjacobs8568 🤣 glad to have you here 🤝 let’s do it
Would really like to watch u do the power head clean out 🤙🤙
I would absolutely watch the video
Great video! I have some experience working on those 15hp Evinrudes. I just recently restored one. Another issue with your tell tale could be the rubber grommets on the water tubes. Once you pull the power head you will see them. Be careful removing the bolts holding the water jacket cover on! They are only 1/4" bolts. I broke 8 of them and had to weld multiple nuts to get the shanks out of the block.
@@brandonwilliams1720 Thank you and the advice is much appreciated 💯
Good video man! Where do you get the new parts?
@@teunscholte3015 thank you! Anything I can find on Amazon I buy from there because I get 5% back with my prime card, anything else either eBay, Crowley Marine, or MarineEngine (.com)
Could you load the water tub with CLR and try to clear the blockage?
I'll subscribe just to watch you do basically a full service and then some.
@@newclearly2885 much appreciated!
Pull it bro! I'll bring the beer!
@@beardspewsandqueoverland sounds like a plan to me!!!!
Yea let's do it brother. I would be in for that type of work 😂😂😂
great video
would greatly appreciate a video on a power head removal, i have a 1990 8hp Johnson that i need to replace the power head on 😅
Have you worker on a mercury 40hp 2 stroke? Have video on it?
Definitely down to watch a tear apart.
dumb question where do you get your parts from? I have an older johnson and don’t know where new gaskets for the carburetor
@@Dinomanny Amazon, eBay, Crowley marine, or marineengine (.com)!!!
Pull the water jackets, I want to know.
I'm mechanically inclined, I've torn apart motors and what not. No machining or anything, but putting things mostly back together. I could do this lol. In my area there are TONS of 150's sitting around, boats in lots, skis, I just see them everywhere and I'm like ????? The carb, impeller, coils, etc is very interesting. I work on go karts and minus the impeller the stuff is similar.
Can we not squirt it with air first. Just curious.
subscribed so I could see more. If it sparks and doesn't run, then my next step is getting the carb cleaned. Other than the order in which you did things, I really like what you are doing to this motor. I'll have to look around to try to find a 15 for 150!
@@FrankLadd I appreciate it!! And yeah carb is always my go-to after good spark but no start, the only reason I did plugs and coils first was just how awful of condition the ignition coils were in physically… needed done so might as well just do it!!
I can tell you exactly what the problem is. There’s a hole burned through the water jacket in the “cylinder head “ it’s pumping exhaust gas into the jacket and you get mostly gas and back pressure at the pee hole
Hi, was it in forward gear when you tried to start it? Great video. Keep them coming.
@@joehozzy2616 thank you for that! And no, this lower unit was not the original factory lower for this motor and was causing the shift handle to be off-centered a tad. Should’ve explained that a bit better!
Please show us how to clear the water jackets.
Man, nice so does the seller object to you taking out the plugs to do a compression check !
@@markcollins5026 if a seller refuses a compression check that is NOT somebody you want to be doing business with! There is no reason to refuse a test unless there’s something you’re trying to hide. When my buyers purchase engines from me I gladly allow them to check compression either with their gauge or mine.
Where do you get parts for these old motors? I live in Norway and have a really hard time getting parts for old outbords.
@@jakobskaar6868 Anything I can find on Amazon I buy from there because I get 5% back with my prime card, anything else either eBay, Crowley Marine, or MarineEngine (.com) I’m not sure on who does or doesn’t ship to Norway though!
Love power head🤙
Pulled the head off a 6hp Evinrude not long ago, all the jackets plugged with sand. Rebuilt carb, fuel pump, new thermostat, impeller. Needs new pull rope, runs pretty good. It’s a 1971 fisherman, I’m in Detroit what do you think it’s worth?
@@gillgetter3004 if the pull start / rope is broken when you sell it (and therefore are unable to run it for a buyer) in my market say $150ish. However if the pull cord is working properly and you can run it for a buyer, where I’m at it would fetch about $350 maybe $400 if you can sell someone on all the new parts!
It's hard to compete flipping boat motors with the hangKai 18 horsepower two-stroke it's pretty much an exact clone of the Yamaha 15f
You don't have to pull the power head. Take out the take off the thermostat and get some acid from a pool place and poured in once you see the acid come out you can power water in it to neutralize the acid. Don't small it or get it on your skin
lets see the full tear down!
@@markries8366 on the way 🤝
Dang man I was really digging that blue😢..it turned out awesome though!!
@@fishingwithfredo2639 thank you! It’s a really cool color for sure, I think it just bothers me so much that it doesn’t look like the factory colors 🤣
Heck yeah! Pull that power head. More good content coming soon I hope.
@@matthewlefevers1387 you can bet on good content coming every couple weeks for a longgggg time 🫡🫡🫡
Use Mirotic acid to clean the water jackets, then thoroughly flush
that is one franken motor. powerhead and carb is 80's, leg and lower is early 70's. someone deffo been there before. im about to franken up my own 15hp johnson, so powerhead teardown would be awesome to see
@@MrDK-iw2um yeah…. This was a tough one for sure. Lots of mix matched parts 😅
@@BoatBusters impressed it seems to have a newer waterpump/impeller than i would have expected to see
I used to buy them in Wisconsin and Michigan and ship them to Florida - fix em up and they’d be gone in a day or 2… I’ve still got 2 of the “holy grail” 40hp 2 cylinder Tohatsu’s… 15” shaft 122 lbs 40 hp… far as I know - best power to wt small outboard… know of anything better these days?
60% of the time, it works every time.
where do you get most of the parts?
@@lanecarter969 Anything I can find on Amazon I buy from there because I get 5% back with my prime card, anything else either eBay, Crowley Marine, or MarineEngine(.com)
Compression and gears #1&2
In that order
Everything else can be fixed decently cheap
Even the gears can be swapped cheap just man hours
Let’s see them water jackets
You don’t have to pull the powerhead and clean the water jackets, but it would be cool if you did 😉
@@dunit13577 well played 🤣 let’s do it
Of course we want to see you tear it down and cleannthe water jacket!
Pull the powerhead - please!
Pull it apart 🎉
@@drummerEight 🫡🫡🫡
Pull the powerhead
Pull the powerheads.
Do it
Pull it
Pull the power head! Now!
thats not a 15 hp lol, thats a spl 14. every model year 15 had exhaust go through the prop. only the 14s didn't because they were bear bones cheap.
Where at in Ohio? I’m from licking county
@@kwhp1507 Clark county. But grew up in licking!
We came back that way from cincy a couple weekends ago with our new boat. Been wanting to get back over that way to the Air Force muesem again. I love that place.
Good vid. I have around 100 outboards 40 of them under 25hp. You are correct on the carbs being the number 1 issue.
Pull it apart!
Pull that head!
