Ppl may not think so but this video is a very important video and I appreciate this lol Im getting my first bass boat next year and its stuff like this that will come in handy big time bc Ill have to fix everything myself if anything breaks or goes out.
that saved you an entire Bassmaster Open entry fee by doing that yourself. real content and its stuff like that which teaches the ones that will listen how to keep fishing instead of being too broke to fish.
Every fisherman should be able to do these somewhat basic things. A big motor is something else but changing out pumps and the like can save you cash when the shop rate is anywhere from $75-$95 an hour. Thanks for the video Todd!
Funny you posted this, I just replaced the recirc starboard pump on my 2020 Z20. And on my nitro the recirc pumps are easy and the fill pumps are a nightmare. It’s good for any boat owner to know how to do little stuff, otherwise you will be at the dealer all the time. Doesn’t matter if you spent 120k on a loaded boat, little stuff breaks. One thing I’d recommend for you is a quality set of crimpers and terminals with heat shrink built in. Fairly cheap and easy, and holds up better to water.
yep I learn my lesson couple months ago crappie in live well knocks bunch scales loose and it sucks them up and clogs the system when you got bunch crappie in live well alive . Great video I pulled my pumps and cleaned them now re-circ doing good going to upgrade to 800gph. And yes a lot time the shaft used to strip out on the pump impeller. From now on Ice chest in the boat for my crappie. Caught a double limit this past Sunday on Rayburn 😎
Man, I think you're doing a great job. I just got an old sling shot ulta 810, but I got the guy down $2000, and I got it now finding these that don't work, I have to replace 2 live well pumps so just doing all new hoses and pumps it may not look the best for a while but I like doing this stuff than put lighting everywhere it the boat so good luck fishing can't wait to see more
Thanks for sharing! Keep ignoring those telling you not to do these because you're not a pro. There's a reason the DIY community exists and thrives on YT. People love seeing how to do some of these things themselves. If we wait for a 'pro' to do the video, most content wouldn't be out there. What pro is going to do a video how to work on a 10yr old mower etc.? Not everything can be translated across generations.
I was cracking up about the don't do this video thing 😂 2 things about that, no make it 3. 1 - obviously he doesn't watch a lot of your videos. Man that was like waving a red flag at a bull. 2 - he's said that he owned an old boat. Don't you think he's fixed stuff before this ? 3 - he doesn't know what telling you not to do something is going to produce. Good knowledge to know there Todd. Even as a non-boater it's money in the bank for me. This and whatever other things you want to throw out our way, I'm willing to listen. Never know where I can help out someone.
This is part of the problem in the world today! To many people think they just have to pay people to fix everything. Back in the day! Men had to fix their own things. We didn’t have money to just spend for easier things that you may not know how to do it but you should be able to figure it out!
The technology author Kevin Kelly (who wrote a very interesting manifesto about dynamic systems thinking called 'Out of Control'). A long time ago. Said something about technology. Technology has reached it's highest level of maturity. When it simply fades into the background and disappears from view. Technology that is very immature and temperamental on the other hand. Always seems to occupy 'the foreground'. It always seems to find a way. To get in front of your face and become the subject of your concentration or focus. The 'notifications' idea in electronic phones. Reminds me a lot of what Kevin Kelly said. His idea was that in a house say. Which was the most 'high tech'. It would look very spartan. Almost ancient in some way. All you'd find in it. Are four stone walls. Fishing rods in my experience. Have been like that. In that you can use them for twenty years. And if they don't get in the way. Of what you are doing. They probably are doing their job. As they should do. How many pieces of technology though? Are like that?
Alan Kay the former Apple and Xerox Laboratories engineer. Had some clever quip about it too. Alan always did. Such as, bleeding edge technology. Is anything that doesn't work properly yet. I fished a number 'eleven' weight fly rod. On a particular piece of water. For ten years at one point. It worked in so many different ways. To suit what I was doing. And I caught a lot of fish on it. That at some stage. I forgot the reason I had purchased it in the first place. It was not even purchased as a freshwater fly fishing rod. It was purchases as a number eleven weight saltwater fly fishing rod. It worked as a freshwater fly fishing rod. For a decade though. Because it enabled me to shoot line over long distances. With accuracy and little effort. In other words, the fishing rod. It kind of 'went away'. It faded into the background. As in the observation that Kevin Kelly made about technology. However, that was for a lot of 'static' method types of fishing. The reason I could get away with a fly fishing rod as heavy as that. Which made my 'work' really easy. Was because I wasn't doing anythinig with the bait. It was intended for static or semi-static methods of presentation.
More lately, I tried various kinds of four weight, five weight, six and seven weight rods. Why not eight, nine and ten? Because they would be too heavy. Where you are moving the bait more. Using the rod. It was about going from small baits, thrown far. That didn't move. To larger baits, which were thrown shorter distances, and they needed to move a lot. That is how the number ratings. On the rods that I was using. Came tumbling down so quickly. From number eleven. To a number five. Which I finally chose, as being a useful rod and weight to throw with. To cast and move the bait. Using the rod.
Here is the thing though. I normally put up two or three rods. Even for river fishing. Because in the small windows (we have a sort of behavior that trout do in summer time, which sounds strangely like what bass do during a Shad spawn window in America). That is, for an hour of darkness before the sun comes up. And an hour after it. There is a lot of activity. And you try to make the most of that. You don't want to flitter away a lot of time. Tying knots. I normally make the river, with enough time. To work by flash light. To tie the knots. And then try to make the most. From a narrow window. What I realized though. Is that thing. Which Todd Castledine explains. At the sixteenth minute. In the conversation about 'the fishing rod' for throwing. The Hybrid Hunter with. When you find a fishing rod that works. Find other things you can throw on it.
It's not too long ago. I was standing on the river. Having worked with four weights, five weights, six weights and seven's. With some eleven weight rods. Left in the vehicle. And it occurred to me. For that piece of water. For that type of fishing. I shouldn't actually have four weight up to seven weight. I should have multiple five weights. It sounds boring. Why not experiment? Why not be bold? Why not try different things? Why try different things, if one thing works really well? For that particular piece of water. The reality is though. That piece of water is firmly in what you would call. John Cox kind of landscape. It's full of vegetation and shallow areas. And parts that are difficult to cast in. Once I move anywhere out of that piece of river. I know it gets more open. The wind factor comes into it. The five weight that was really effective. Around the trees and vegetation. Where there was not a puff of wind or breeze. Now isn't able to cast a bait at all. It gets blown back in your face. And you find. The the six weight is ideal. You change location again. And you find the seven weight (that is, multiple rods lined up of seven weight specification with a choice of baits). Is the way to go. You go bigger water and more exposed conditions. You discover then. You need a couple of eight weights. To be productive.
It’s not that hard to fix the things you can with the knowledge you have. If our grandpas did it so can we and you can teach a thing or to top your kiddos as well so they can be independent themselves. Just takes a little reading and some confidence
I am a mechanic, and I believe there’s nothing wrong with teaching people how to work on their own equipment. If they watch this video and think you shouldn’t have shared it because it’s too complicated, they should stay in their own lane and go back to knitting.
Who would tell you not too film your repairs ! All or most bass fisherman better be able to fix certain things in a pinch ! Or pay 100$ to 150$ an hour for labor ! I thought us plumbers were expensive! These marine mechanics are !
@@toddcastledinefishing5924 me too my friend! Just replaced my bildge mount screen thing cause boat company over screwed it to floor breaking it. Guess I won't here flopping noise any more. Had to buy whole pump just for screwdown base screen. And nope couldn't film it either. Upside down sideways lol. That's why you had me laughing and going 'you go Boy!' Peace
Replaced all the pumps in my boat last year,cool video thanks for sharing
Todd, this was very helpful in solving my problem. Like another viewer said, real content that teaches. Good stuff.

Everyone should know how to do this. Good video.
Todd we need a membership stream or video.

About $110 to $140 now. Give Biden a raise too😮
I like it, Jack of all trades, master of none.

Great video and like your skills 👍👍. Heat shrink connector kit will help out a bunch in the future instead of connectors and electrical tape.

this helped a ton. Thanks!
Glad it helped!
When you replace those pumps. Put some heat shrink on the connection. Does wonders for corrosion

On the thing of which fishing rod to have. I listened to it a couple of times again. The following is kind of what I've come to learn.

I've replaced a lot things and can do quite a bit, not cause I'm mechanical but because I'm cheap. 😂
