@@OutOnTheReef Do you have video on maintaince where to add hydrolic fluid to Sea Star hydrolic steering? Please advise as I've only added hydrolic fluid to port receiver top of my steering wheel ! Thank mi Capitán hablo español, pos soy de Guadalajara mil gracis!
Hi Capt... Nice tutorial! With the 2014 Yamaha 300, I have to remove two bolts that hold a metal cover plate, then un-plug the same wire (it's for the water-in-fuel sensor). But I have to use the special notched tool to get the filter off. (Yours came off very easy by hand!) The first time that filter was changed by the Yamaha tech, he crossed threaded the filter housing, and gasoline was leaking out of the engine. I do it myself now, and I change it every 100 hours. Like yours, the old one looks as clean as a brand new one. I guess we are getting our gasoline from a good company!.... I look forward to all of your videos!
So sorry that you had to go through that with your fuel filters change at the dealer that's why sometimes I do my own stuff on the engine because we take more pride in our work especially because the boat is ours that's why I did not send my book back to the manufacturer for being one and a half inch crooked to get it fixed cuz I know they were going to do a bad job by redoing the boat. Is sad the way we get service this days
Do as much stuff as you can because the dealer will charge you top $$$ for their service! As far as changing filters and other things, The best way is to keep a maintenance log, But I do mine yearly here in Maryland our season is only 6 or 7 months long So I do mine when I winterize so it's all ready to go in the spring! Thanks for sharing!
Your filter should be installed on the neck of the filter base putting it in the bucket and then tightening it down makes it so your filter isn’t working
good point cap but i made sure that it went in properly , and if you try to force it in the wrong way you can tell right away that is not seated cap. but thanks for sharing your way of installing it cap.
Awesome buddy and I'm glad it helped and also I'm sorry that you have to winterize your boat but the summer will be here soon captain hang in there thanks for watching
Ones in a while I ad Fuel stabilizer to my boat's tank. Sea is a ruff place, moisture, salt and water might creap into the tank want it or not. It dont hurt to ad some and it keeps fuel safe. Even if you have filters to protect engine, adding it to fuel will keep it burning well and keeping gas millage. Keep safe cap.
Thanks captain and you're right I use seafoam every time I fill my tank to keep my fuel stabilized and free of water. Thanks for the great suggestion captain
@@OutOnTheReef This using seafoam? Is not an each time 100 gal fill-up treatment the tank needed. Put in a Gas only water separator in fuel-line. Check that on fill time to see if water is in bowl. It does little to use seafoam all the time. Seafoam works more on diesel and 2- storke applications . And you need Nitrogen addictive cleaners for cleaning motor anyway.
@@robb1460 one thing i know it does very well is keep the injectors clean i dont know about taking alot of water out of the tank, thanks for your feedback ,i like to hear other boaters results
@@OutOnTheReef Okay here's the thingy and it a long post. Water can only get into a boat tank in three ways. You pump it in water from where you fill-up. E-10-gas ethanol covert air in tank into water. Or the seal "O" ring is bad or you did not close it fully. And rain or seawater splash on it run down in. Where is the filler point on your boat? Is it on the gunwale expose to water hitting it? Or in the cockpit floor? I have this and did not like on gunwales. cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-6rtev5owwo/images/stencil/500x659/products/217389/101746/S-D-351320-1_lg__62780.1558119841.jpg?c=2&imbypass=on I reworked my Gas filler point to under Gunwales with a water splash shield door.

@@robb1460 another way of having water in your tank is using non ethanol gas but you're right there's only two openings of getting water in but if the fuel is ethanol free then you avoid more moisture inside of tank

Ok cool, I think I burnt mine. Tried to flush in tub of water. Supposedly water needs to be a lot higher then the water intakes when you do it like that
@@Th3mako I usually use my flaps to get water into the engine forced by the house and what happens when you turn your engine on with the flaps does water come out of the motor on top?
Out On The Reef yea crazy, cause the manual says if your in shallow water make sure water is above the water intake. It doesn’t say it has to be any higher
I think you have to do it in the first 30 hours but I did mine in 80 hours and still look brand new so I will think about it should be done every hundred hours and it should be fine
Ooo i see.you also using solas propeller.but mine is 4 blade 14.5/15pitch.anyway thanks Captain you alot inspired me i will waiting for the next video.
We go your channel , in the process of doing same 100 hr maintenance . Can’t thank you enough , you’re great teacher! Million Likes my brother!!
You're awesome Frank. Thank you so much and if I can help in any way Let me know navigate safe, captain.

That's a great idea captain and wow Maryland it gets pretty cold up there so you probably have to use some fuel stabilisation on your fuel tank
@@OutOnTheReef Yes!
It is great that you share your knowledge with your viewers. Like you said maintenance from a mechanic can be expensive.
Thank cap. And yes it's better to learn to do it yourself that way you know is done right and thanks for watching captain
Easy thing to forget to do and find yourself stranded out on the water. It's always smart to maintain your boat.
i agree especially in a long trip rescue is difficult so having your engine in top shape is important.
Wow what a very clean motor! Good to see the great maintenance and care to your boat! 👍🏼👍🏼
Yes I keep my motor clean and I always use silicone spray to keep it off of corrosion
Your filter should be installed on the neck of the filter base putting it in the bucket and then tightening it down makes it so your filter isn’t working

Great video cap. The engine manufacturer should be giving you a commission for your maintenance tutorials.👍👍🤙🤙
Lol thanks Saku i hope it helps others😉

Good video I used to think and change the 1 filter once a year. But there are 2 more "mystery filters" that never get changed until low RPMs appear.
what are those 2 mystery filters cap?
@@OutOnTheReef
VST (fuel injection) and another fuel filter off of Fuel Pump No name but has a rubber boot around it. Never thought there would be 4 fuel related filters to change including water separator
Love your DIY videos Cap.
Thanks Cap.

@@OutOnTheReef I've seen that one and I'm not referring to the water separator filter. I'm referring to the 2 additional filters on the actual engine.

many thanks
Anytime Ralph thank you for watching
Thanks
Welcome
Do you have a video on the timing belt, how to change?
no cap but as soon as i doo mine i will make a video, thanks for watching
The video b4 this, with the fuel/water separator...did u add that yourself or does that come equipped on the boat when your purchased it?
It came with the boat when I bought it brand new but you can install it yourself it's not that expensive to do it yourself
should you put oil or some silicone grease on the seal before installing?
You could but I decided not to because I don't want any residue of oil going inside the engine but some people do that
Are you going to do the water impeller?
I will do the water impeller when I get about 200 hours and I only have 80 hours now.
So that means soon when I do it I'll make a video how to do it
Ok cool, I think I burnt mine. Tried to flush in tub of water. Supposedly water needs to be a lot higher then the water intakes when you do it like that
@@Th3mako I know I think it's poor Yamaha design.
And I'm sorry to hear about your impeller it's not that expensive to change if you do it yourself

Out On The Reef yea crazy, cause the manual says if your in shallow water make sure water is above the water intake. It doesn’t say it has to be any higher
At what hour interval did you change the filter? Same with the fuel/water separator. Both at 100 hours?
yes at the same time but the fuel filter doesn't need to be changed that soon because it doesn't get that dirty cap
@@boburwell9921 But you don't have to do it on the 20 hour just because it came when your kid captain
@@OutOnTheReef pirate flag 🏴☠️ ☠
About 3:00 in the afternoon........LOL!!
How many hours…?
You have to check your engne manual but in my case 100 hrs
How long we have to change the filter.because my filter hasn't been changed in 2 years.
I think you have to do it in the first 30 hours but I did mine in 80 hours and still look brand new so I will think about it should be done every hundred hours and it should be fine
I think you're really are do by now

Nahh!!! I have to check tomorrow.. thanks Captain you remind me.
