Winterize Your Outboard (Marine Technician)

Because if you got water to your engine and it freezes, it will crack the block of the engine

Problem is with the 2013 E-Tex, you don't get clean fuel to them or you get a batch of bad gas

It does take someone with a laptop in order to change out the injectors

Don't fill it up with that's the biggest thing that you're trying to avoid when talking about winterizing your boat

It's getting to be that time of year again. And for some of you, it's already been that time of year

which I'm talking about winterizing your boat, which is extremely important that you do this if you live in an area that gets below 32 degrees Fahrenheit or zero degrees Celsius

This just basically means that you need to get the water out of your engine because if you got water to your engine and it freezes

it will crack the block of the engine. There's a lot more to it than just that

But that's the biggest thing that you're trying to avoid when talking about winterizing your boat

When it comes to winterizing, it's pretty much the engine side. You want to get all of the water out of the block

A lot of areas, what you do is you take some antifreeze

and you are going to run the engine with antifreeze opposed to water

You drain all of your cooling system, and then you put antifreeze into the engine

which is basically running antifreeze through the cooling system. So what you're going to do is you want to, first of all

fresh water flush the engine. When we do that, we're going to be running the engine on the hose

which is going to fresh water flush everything. And what we're wanting to do at the same time

is we want to fog the engine. And basically that just means that you're going to squirt fogging oil

into the intake of the engine, which is going to allow the fogging oil to basically coat everything

on the intake side of the engine, which the fogging process is going to coat the engine with fogging oil

You're going to be coating the intake, the intake manifolds. You're going to be coating the combustion chambers

your pistons, your rings, the valves, everything's going to get coated with oil by running this fogging oil through the engine

All you really do is turn the engine on. It's freshwater flushing because it's running on the hose

and you're squirting the oil into the engine. the intake so that way the engine is burning that oil and then coating everything with that

fog and oil. You're going to just basically run that fog oil through the engine until you see a lot

of smoke come out of the propeller or out of the exhaust. And that's going to let you know that

everything has now been coated in the fogging oil. Once you get it fogged, now you can turn the engine off

and we're going to want to drain the fuel system. Meaning if it's carbureated, you want to crack the drain

screws on the bottom of the carburet to get any of the fuel that's out of the carburet or the

VST if you got a VST you're going to drain the VST which is usually got a little rubber

hose somewhere to it and that is going to allow all the fuel to drain out. You just don't want any

ethanol fuel sitting in that engine for seven months while the engine just sits there. That way

you can avoid any issues of water build up sludging stuff like that. Now you can

put a stabilizer in the fuel. You can get yourself some non-ethanol fuel

get yourself some stabilizer, and then run that through there, and that'll be another way of, you know

making sure you don't have fuel that's sludging up the VST, your fuel pump, and all that stuff

Or another way, what some people will do is they will get avgas

which is aviation fuel, and just run the engine on avgas to prolong the life of the

the fuel. You just don't want ethanol fuel sitting in your fuel system, especially your injectors

and your VST, where your fuel pump is for this, you know, seven, eight month period that the boat's

going to be stored while it's too cold to use. Now, once you've got the fuel system take care of

you got the oiling of the system taken care of, and now you've got the engine flush. The next thing

that you're going to want to do is get rid of any water that's in the engine. For an outboard

you just basically trim the engine down, and that's going to allow all the water to run out of the engine

For an inboard, on the other hand, though, you're going to want to take out the freeze plugs

On the bottom of the engine, there's going to be freeze plugs, usually like four or something like that

Take all those out, and then you can also put anti-freeze down

through your cooling system to flush any water that's in the engine out

and basically replace it with antifreeze. But with the freeze plugs out, it should allow you to get all the water and any freeze, actually, out of the engine

That way, when it freezes, the water's not going to freeze and crack the block, crack a cooling passage or anything like that

Then, well, the next thing that is going to need to be done is you want to check the gear loop on the gear case

Because if you have a leak in that gear case, and let's say that water is mixing with oil

well if you've got water in your oil in the lower unit yeah the water will mix with the oil

but over time it'll separate so as the engine is sitting that lower unit if it has water in it

that water does not it's going to freeze and if it freezes then it's going to expand when it expands

it'll crack the lower unit it'll you know mess up the gears it'll bend in stuff i mean

it's bad usually it just cracks the lower unit and that's it's it's it's it's it

it you're done that lower unit needs to be replaced when you go to use your boat next year and no one

wants to do that so the best way to do that is check the gear loop you just crack the drain screw on the

gear lower unit and if it comes out milky or has any water or anything like that replace the gear

lobe that's the best way to do it this is pretty much the same process for two strokes or four

strokes uh in four strokes a lot of people what they do is they will just go ahead and do a hundred hour

service before they stick the boat away. That way, they've got new gear loop in there, so there's

no water and also new oil in there. And that basically takes care of any issue that you could have

over the storing period of the engine while it's freezing outside. Now, as far as the boat goes

same thing. You don't want any water sitting in the boat. You can heat shrink the boat or get a

cover made that covers the boat. So that way water getting into the boat isn't freezing and causing any

issues inside the boat. Another thing, you want to take the battery out of the boat and get it

stored in your garage, preferably, you know, on something, not on concrete, on a concrete floor

I know there's a lot of people that have done myth busters about this, that, and the other

about batteries being in cold or on the concrete and all that other stuff. But by and large

just put it on a shelf somewhere, put it on trickle charger, a little two-amp charger

So that way the battery will stay charged throughout the season, mainly because, you know

because the number one time that a battery will go bad is when it's sitting

So a battery has charge cycles. And a charge cycle is basically 100% charge to 0% charge

Really, a charge cycle for a deep cycle battery is 100% charge down to like 20% or 10% charge

and then brought back up. And that's like a charge cycle. On a starting battery, you've got

100% to like 95% and then it charges back up. That's the biggest difference between a starting battery and a deep cycle battery

Now, when it comes to storing the battery or letting the battery go all the way down to zero

that's really bad for the battery. If you go from 100% charge and go down to 0% charge, that's really, really hard on that battery

So if you take your battery out of the boat and then you let it sit on the shelf for eight months

and it goes down to zero because, I mean, the battery is going to lose its charge over that period of time

That's not going to be good for that battery. You really want to put it on a two-amp trickle charger

just to keep it maintained throughout the winter season or however long your off-boating season is

Now, in hotter climates, there is also what's called summarizing where basically it's the same thing as winterizing

minus the need to run any freeze and all that kind of stuff through. your engine You mainly just flush and fog the engine and make sure there no water in the lower unit not for a freezing purpose but because you don want that water sitting on the metal rusting the gears that are inside the lower unit while the boat is sitting

They call it summarizing because it's not uncommon for in really, really hot climates like

South Forest or like that to be a vacation spot or a seasonal spot for people that live up north

and then come down in the warmer season, like, you know, if you live in New York

and it gets down to zero or below. A lot of people, when they get older

they don't want to live in that same type of environment. So what they'll do is come January or December sometime

they'll move to South Florida, live there for four months while it's freezing cold in New York

and then after four months, April, May, move back to New York as it warms up

which is a way for a lot of people to extend their boating season as well. So you boat in the north during the summertime

and then when it gets too cold to boat outside, you can go to a south you know texas florida um anywhere south where it's going to be warmer and you can

boat all year round so then during the sun during the winter when it's too cold to boat up north

you can be in florida boating and stay boating all year round and that's pretty much it for the winterizing

you really don't need any kind of special tools or anything like that just normal wrenches

sockets um oil filter water separators oh that's another thing water separator i didn't see but uh go ahead and

your water separator. If it's got water in it, replace it and get any kind of water out of there

Tool-wise, that's it. The drain plugs, you know, regular sockets and wrenches

You're going to be able to get your freeze plugs out. Get a can of fog and oil and gear lube

That's pretty much it. No special tools needed. So don't forget to winterize your boat before the winter because you don't want to have to

deal with the problems that a lot of other people have had to do. It's an experience that I would say there's a lot of people that have not experienced

it, but they do not want to experience that. So you don't want to have to deal with a cracked block or a blown up lowered unit or

anything like that, which is going to be the outcome of not winterizing your boat and

your engine. And also, you don't want to have to pay for a brand new battery in the next year, too

because that's super expensive that, you know, it'd be better just to fill up your tank

Oh, the fuel in the boat. I forgot to mention winterizing the taking care of your fuel

We talked about avgas and the engine and all that, but putting stabilizer in the fuel and also, you know, it's a 50-50 on people that want the tank to be completely full and people that want it to be completely empty

So, you know, realistically, the big reason why everybody wants a full tank is because it's less air and less chance of building condensation

So the more area or surface or volume, the more volume would be the right word, the more volume of air that you have in the fuel tank is basically more surface area on the sides of the tank where condensation can build up

And if you have ethanol fuel in your tank, that ethanol with the temperature changes and the condensation, it basically absorbs moisture

and it will absorb the moisture or condensation on the sides of the tank

which will, you know, basically get water in your fuel. So a lot of people will fill their tank all the way up because that's less surface area

But if you do, don't fill it up with ethanol fuel. If you're going to store that boat for eight months or a year

try and get some non-ethanol fuel. Also adding some stabilizer to your fuel to help keep it docking levels up

over that period where the boat is going to be sitting. So now that you've treated your fuel and winterized everything else

now I'm pretty sure that's everything in the winterization. Any bad conditions that you can see are going to be, again

those crack blocks and lower units. It's all from the water freezing that makes it a big problem

And I think I've got a couple of questions here that we want to go over from D. Pereira

Hey, good afternoon, guys. Just wanted to say you guys are awesome. I am purchasing a used Donzi that's coming with two

2013, 250 horsepower Evanrids. I'm concerned because I've heard negative things about the engines

and that the company went out of business. Although parts are still available

what is your opinion about the engines and anything specifically based, specifically besides compression and service records I should be looking for

They have 600 hours and seem to be well maintained from what he told me the starters were both changed recently

I mean, that's kind of something this interesting, is that why did he have to replace two starters on two separate engines

unless one starter went bad and he's like, okay, I might as well just replace both of them

But other than that, you know, a 2013 Donzie, I mean, that's a nice boat, the Evan Rudes, the 250s

that is probably the biggest split brand that there's ever been. It's a 50-50

You've got 50% of anybody that's ever owned in Everwood has been totally happy with it

and not had any complaints and no problems, and they've loved it until the day that they got rid of it

And then the other 50% of owners actually absolutely hate the brand

They hate the engines. They hate everything about them. So you kind of split on it

I'm more of a middle ground kind of person. I've had, I've had Everard's Ocean Pro and an Ocean Runner that I've had no problems with

I ran it three times a week and it never gave me any problems. The only downfall to that engine was it drank a lot of fuel and a lot of oil

But outside of that, you know, you're not talking about fix on here

So you don't have to worry about that. Then anything else, I mean, 600 hours is

bad. If he says that he hasn't had any problems with the engines, then you're good to go

But at the same time, there's less and less people that are available to work on the

Evan Roads. So if they're running and you really like the boat, then, you know, maybe repowering

down the road or possibly just running those Evan Roads as long as you can. But one consideration is

Is there anybody around there that can work on them because they are, like you said, the company

they don't make those engines anymore, and they're not in business. So at least not the outboard business like they were

And the dealerships are getting less and less. So service is the only problem

The problem is with the 2013, I think you're talking about ETEX at this point in time

So an issue with those are the fuel injectors. If you don't get clean fuel to them or you get a batch of batch

gas or something like that, then the injectors, if you have a problem with them, they are

serialized and it does take someone with a laptop that can hook up to that engine in order to

change out the injectors. That's kind of one of the problems. Also make sure that you keep the

cooling system cleaned out and that it's always peeing because there is water that goes through

the computer on the engine. They call it an EMM. If you don't keep that thing cooled, then it will

overheat and when it overheat you have to buy a new computer. So those are only the couple things

that I can think about that are going to be something that you want to really consider outside of that

I mean, if you really like the boat and everything's running great and he said he hasn't had any problems with the engines, then you should be all right. The engine on a boat is what's

concerning to pretty much everybody that's buying a boat. And again, Evan Rood's one of those

brands that have that 50-50 split where people either love them or they hate them

They've either had a disastrous relationship or they've had a great relationship

But, yeah, it's not like a Yamaha or a Mercury. Like a Mercury people love them

And then the other people don't. Yamaha people, they love the engines

And then, you know, it's only the people that have had a bad experience or they are a Mercury person

Mercury people don't like Yamaz and Yamaha people don't like Mercury. I mean, that's kind of like a brand loyalty thing

it's like a Ford and a Chevy. Honda people, Honda engines, they don't have as many problems

They aren't as fuel efficient. They're heavy, but it's still a brand that people like them

Whereas the Avernrood, it's 50-50 people. Hate them, people love them. Kara Noah, hello

Love the content I been watching for a while now and I have learned a lot I was hoping you had a minute to maybe help me answer a question that I can seem to find I have a 2002 Yamaha F225 and the pin that holds the rod to the engine must have vibrated out a little

When I trim down, it punctured the top of the fluid reservoir. So I guess we're talking about the RAM that goes to the trim unit

From what I have read, it doesn't have any pressure in it. Would I be able to J.B

weld the holes shut trying to avoid the 200 plus cost of replacing it i'll try and attach a video of what

i'm talking about i'd really appreciate you hope you could give thanks guys give the girl keep up the good

work um so he's talking about the reservoir are we talking about it punctured the top of the fluid

reservoir so i mean yeah you could jb well that there isn't any pressure in that reservoir so

it's hard to see what i'm trying to picture what exactly you have a hole in um i mean

yeah if you're trying to save 200 bucks and you want to try the jb weld route then by all

means go for it take a um take something and put it in there though like don't just take jb

weld mix it up and then pour it on that hole because it'll leak down inside there so put like

scratch up around the hole and then put something on there. Preferably something of the same metallic buildup

Don't put like, I mean, a lot of people put a penny or a dime or something on there, but that's not always the best thing because it's a dissimilar metal

But as long as you put something of similar metal on there, then, yeah, put cover the holes

and the J.B. Wells goes down into the reservoir and cover that thing with J.B. Weld

how long it lasts. I mean, if you're trying to save money, there's always a way to save money and

things will work. You know, you can make it work. I mean, J.B. Weld, maybe that'll last you a year. Maybe

it'll last you 10 years. So if you got a 2002, you got a 21 year old 3.3 liter F225. So

um, yeah, try the J.B. Weld. Judging based on what you said, it's, it's, yeah, just the

reservoir. There's no pressure in there. And yeah, you want to keep water from out of the out of there. So

try the jb weld see what happens and chip hill talking about top five main things to look at for when

buying a boat you wiring usually needs redoing too yeah that's um that's true i mean most used boats

especially older boats depending on who's had it how long they had it and who's been in there

messing with it yeah whenever you buy any use boat look at the wiring because that could

potentially be a big expense and you know out of of the other five things that we talked about in that video

Wiring would definitely be up there. So per per perjur, it also depends on your means

I just restored an 85, 21 foot trophy, don't laugh. It was a free boat and trailer with clean titles

And it was in great shape. Now it has an outboard and bracket and catches fish

I don't care about the value. I just want to go fishing. So to me

it's priceless. P.S. I'm poor. Yeah, I mean, that's, you ain't kidding. So

I mean, yeah, I agree with you 100%. A lot of people will say, oh, why'd you redo this or redo that

I mean, maybe just because you got a boat. Like, it doesn't have to be the prettiest thing in the world

and it doesn't have to be, you know, the most expensive thing in the world

If you got a bayliner that was given to you with a title and it only took you a little bit to get it going

then at least you're on the water. I think that's true of a lot of things

I mean, I put way too much time and money into that little 13-foot whaler

the bully-netter, but I wanted a bully-nutter, and you can't buy those boats

So to me, it was worth it. And, yeah, I agree with you 100%

He also made another comment about, in Cali, you don't have a tag

If you don't have a tag on the trailer and you're having trouble getting registered

you can make an appointment with Highway Patrol slash state troop and they will inspect it and issue a tag

Last time I did it cost 50 bucks and took about 20 minutes total

Not sure if that's an option where you are at, but it should be considering its DOT stuff

Yeah, even though it is Department of Transportation stuff in Florida, I don't think it works like that

But if it did, I mean, that's worth a shot. That's amazing that you can get a tag for something straight from the highway patrol

or something, I guess, in California. California. I mean, it's a great idea, but I don't think you can in Florida. We'll tell how do you look at stringers if the floor is intact on the boat? So if you're inspecting stringers or inspecting a boat in general, you want to check out the transom, the engine, all other stuff. You do want to look at the stringers as well. And for the most part, you're going to want to go in the back and the build by the transom. That's usually where they start rotting out because they're back there by the trance. So

looking in the back by the transom and knocking on them back there

usually you'll have some access back there. And then the next spot is going to be in compartments or in the console

So a lot of times different type of boats like dual console

stuff like that, you'll have compartments in the middle. And sometimes you'll have access to those stringers through those compartments

Or if you look down in a center console, a lot of times you have a way to get down there in the center console to check them

but there's also a lot of boats that are just so packed out that the only place that you can see them are in the back

Then again, not every manufacturer is making wood stringers anymore. A lot of the stringers and a lot of the boats are all solid fiberglass stringers

So they don't even, they don't rot out. They're not as much of an issue as they were when you're talking about boats built in the 70s, the 80s, the 90s

I mean, those boats, when we're talking about boats that had wooden stringers, that's a problem that you do need to inspect

Whereas nowadays, any boat made in the past 20 years, by and large, they don't have wood stringers in them

They're either glass or they are made out of like Kusa or some other material, some kind of a foam coring

so they don't rot and a lot of them are running their rigging tubes through the stringers too

so they're not as big of a thing to look at as boats that were built 30 40 50 years ago

that's definitely something to look at and that's basically the only way to check them is

wherever you can get access to them so usually in the back of the boat in the build somewhere

like that you'll be able to get to them but other than that you can't you're right you can't

you can't get to them. Mark Webner, what if you find a hall with Cusa board in the Transom

Is that I safer bet, or have you ever seen Cusa go bad? Great podcast. Thanks

Yeah. Thank you, Mark. The Cusa. So Cusa, yeah, they don't, it doesn't really go bad

Depending on how it got put together is mainly the problem that you could see there

Where if you're talking about something they got put together and it wasn't put together properly

like they didn't put mat in between the two pieces of cusser or something like that it'll delaminate

but outside of that cusa doesn't go bad it's a it's a fiber composite board and it doesn't go bad

the only thing that you can look at is if there's some fiberglass issues with the fiberglass when it was all

put together you could have stuff right there that's going to be a problem but as far as the cusa being a

problem i don't think i've ever seen cusa going bad so yeah if you've got a boat that's got a cusa transom and not a

wood transom, yeah, I would say it has more value than the wood does. Depending on who built it

I mean, using wood isn't a bad thing. Last time I did a wood transom was, yeah, eight years ago

So, I mean, and that boat's still fine. It all depends on who's putting holes in the boat after it's made out of wood

That's your bigger question. Harry now, hi, you have such a good channel. Thank you for the boat's

DIY people just like me. Question, can you tell? what is the name of the app in your phone, please, regards from, looks like, Espania

That was talking about a Yamaha app. I was checking the hours on an engine on my phone

That is actually Yamaha YDIS Smart but that is a dealer product Like it a little dongle that hooks to the engine and you can pull up the app but it registered to the dealer so it a dealer specific tool and it not like you can just go to the

app store and download that app and now talk to your engine um in the short you don't have access

to it really unless you've got a dealer that you can use their dealer number and they'll let you

buy it and use it you don't you can't just buy wadayas smart um

I wish you could. That made things a lot easier, but most brands are pretty specific on who they let

and what they let people do with their engines. So, yeah, not really something that the general public can access

even though it's a sweet tool. I mean, I love using it, but, yeah, unfortunately, you can't really get that

Mr. PubG, yo, your videos are so well made. I'm looking to become a boat mechanic after high school

Well, thank you. I think being a mechanic is a great field, is a skill and the skill set or the trade industry is definitely suffering all over

So I think there's a lot of opportunity, a lot of money that could be made. If you stick with it, if you're good, if you really apply yourself and put in the work

then there's a great living that you could make out of working on boats

So after high school, yeah, for sure, you should definitely get into working on boats

How to become a mechanic. That's a whole other thing. honestly, I think the best route that you should go would be to find a dealer that's like a larger dealer and just go get a job with a dealer and get your hands on helping people studying the mechanics that are there, trying to bring value to the more experienced mechanics and learn all that you can learn because in the skill or the trade industry, I mean, experience is king

So as long as you learn the industry, you're going to, you're going to do great

Dex, the wing zero, you need the chicken feed shaker can. Yeah, for putting on non-skid into gel coat, a little chicken feed shaker can

Definitely, definitely a good suggestion. I need to get one of those for doing non-skid

Oh, no. So this guy, so this guy talking about a video about the only video you must

see on how to tie up a boat says he was 15 miles into the Everglades, 10,000 island region

on a canoe not properly tied up next morning upside down canoe. So this video is important

Yes, that video is super important. And if you have not seen that video, you should go watch it

on how to tie your boat up properly. The only video you must see on how to tie up your boat

But now tides, I mean, 15 miles in the Everglades and he in his canoe flips, I guess, and he had probably like a 20 horse or something on it

That's not where you want to be with a boat upside down

Tides changing going up and down. If you tie your boat up improperly, you can get caught under the dock

You can get, you can have the boat, like if the tide goes out, the boat's tied up too tight

it can lean over and then you know flip over and fill up full of water so definitely knowing about the

tides and how to tie up your boat biggest key and the biggest takeaway in that video well no there's

actually like a bunch of things in that video but one key thing about tying up your boat is tight lines

but long lines you want long tight lines that's the best way to type your boat that way the long line is

going to stretch and go up and down with the tide, whereas a short line, you've only got this

much, you know, line. So as it goes down, you're not moving much. So you've only got like six

inches of tide and then boom, your, your rope's not going to go. Whereas if you got this much line

and say this is 15 feet, 15 feet's going to go a lot and that line's going to stretch and you're

going to be able to, the boat's going to be able to go up and down with the tide and still stay

tight on the dock. Myron Chamberlain, 7334, my marine radio keeps saying low battery

but the batteries are new. Well, it sounds like you've got a connection problem

If you have a radio or GPS or something like that that keeps saying

low battery, even though you've got brand new batteries, chances are you've got a connection problem

somewhere between the battery and the radio, which there's a lot of components in between there

Most of the time, general electrical setup on a boat is going to be from the battery positive

going up to a battery switch and then through the battery switch

over to a bus bar of some sort that then is going

to feed all of your breakers or your fuse panel and then from the

fuse panel it's going to go up to your switch and then from your switch over

to whatever component that is if your radio's straight up wired in straight hot

so whenever you turn the battery switch on all your stuff comes on then that is most likely not going to be

the case. It's probably going to go from the battery switch to your breaker panel or your fuse panel

and then out the fuse panel straight to your radio. And then from your ground on the battery

it's going to go up to your ground bar and then your radio should be tied straight into that ground bar

So most likely you've either got a bad cramp, a bad connection or a loose connection between the radio

whether that be on the fuse panel, on the breaker panel, on the battery switch

It could be the ground going to the radio, or there's something going on with your radio

But most likely it's just a loose connection. So I would follow the wires from the back of the radio

and follow them to wherever they're getting power and ground from and check those connections

If those are all good, then move your way back through the system to figure out where that problem is

Zachary Peters, where does the water go when it's in the cowling

I've always wondered how it got out, talking about a video about cleaning your engine

and there's just drains in the cowling. That's it. In the belly pan of the engine, there are usually two to four drains

They're in the back and the front. There'll be a little rubber like duck bill valves or whatever you call them

Those duck bill valves are going to let water out. That's pretty much it

There's just drains in the belly pan. So all the water goes in, goes down, and then it'll go out

So not anything too complicated right there. this guy blah blah blur what is pooky and kusa so pooky we're talking about that's in mainly one of the fiberglass videos probably redoing the bolleyeter if you haven't seen that series go check that out but the pooky is pretty much resin and collidial silica which is just like a structural filler so whenever you're doing fiberglass gaps and stuff like that you can fill with a thickened epoxy or polyester resin

mix. That's going to be what we call pooky. And I only learned that from one of the fiberglass guys

there in one of the shops that I've worked at. He just always called a pokey. So I ended up starting

to call it pooky too. It's just silica and resin. And then cusa, what cusa is, is we just

talked about it a minute ago with this guy talking about a boat that has Cusa replaced wood. And

Kusa is a fiber composite board. It's basically just a wood replacement and it doesn't rot

It's really, really good material. And a lot of boats are being made out of that and a lot of people are using that to

replace transom stringers or anything in the boat, bulkheads. It's a, basically it's a wood replacement where it's not a foam core

So you've got like foam coring and you've got like a composite, which is

mainly Cusa is a brand. So people call it Cusa board, even though there are different fiber composite boards

Cusa is just the most popular brand. And so everybody calls it Cusa board, which I mean, I've only, I've used mainly Cusa

opposed to other composite boards. So I would definitely recommend Cusa. That's just because I've used it the most

And yeah, it's great stuff. So that's pretty much going to be it

I think that's enough time for now for this week. If you want to have one of your questions on here

go ahead and email us at AskBAB at Bornagainboating.com or comment on any of our videos

and I'm trying to compile these into questions and answers, maybe where I can just unload all these comments

and we can talk about these subjects. Also, we've got the boaters program at born again boating.com

where there are hundreds of courses and other features with an app

that will teach you how, to work on your own boat and learn tons about boating
