Automotive engine de-greaser does NOT dissolve salt. White vinegar or CLR Cleaner will dissolve calcium and salt deposits from engine and internal cooling parts, both harmless to plastics, rubber and metal parts - not to mention, white vinegar is very economical !

You can also combine equal parts rubbing alcohol and white vinegar to remove efflorescence.

GUNK Official - here is just a suggestion from a consumer who does not have your level of understanding about your product and who is here looking for education and practical techniques. I have absolutely no idea what this part of your comment means; "designed to have low VOC's so it's safer to use". The GREATEST thing about Born Again Boating's channel is that he is an accomplished, knowledgeable, master marine technician and he has the ability to take the complex and make it simple to understand. I am looking at the notes I took while watching this video and I had GUNK degreaser/cleaner and GUNK protector/shine on my shopping list. Somebody else commented that white vinegar is superior in dissolving salt. So as somebody who will never have Aaron's level of skill, or your in depth knowledge of GUNK'S product line, but who is determined not to stay completely ignorant either, since I have no idea what "designed to have low VOC's so it's safer to use" means I'm not sure whether to buy the GUNK products or just white vinegar? The marginal cost difference between the purchases is not significant to me, I want the "better" product to protect my 20+ year old small outboard. This video of Born Again Boating SOLD me on your GUNK products, now another commenter has me questioning that decision, and I am unable to use your comment to help me decide. Knowing me I'll probably buy, and use, all of the above just to make sure I get the best result.

Now I’m going to sound daft! Cleaning is part of the pride of ownership. You’ve worked hard, spent a lot of money and have something to show for it. If you look after it you get a better connection with what is essentially an inanimate object. The big but, for all the naysayers, is that when you go to sell it yours will sell quicker and for more cash than the unloved heap of junk that’s also up for sale in the boatyard. If that’s not a good enough reason to look after and clean your boat, bike or car I don’t know what is. Great series of videos and I may be in a cooler part of the world but the water is still salty over here. Stay safe!

Bought a new Yamaha 150 just over 3 years ago that sprayed all over its metal surfaces w/ CRC Corrosion Inhibitor (2 coats over a 24hr period). After 960 hours on that thing, I have no rust and the salt just comes right off with a hose. Hose the inside once a month and then a little Boeshield T-9 after, and the engine looks like its never been turned over!

Hello, nope, the flush port runs through the whole engine. No need for ear muffs, unless you plan on running the engine at RPM's higher than 1,000. Then you should put some muffs on it. Otherwise you can flush the engine all you want and even run it at idle without damaging anything :) Thank you!

It is worth mentioning that telltale has water when boat is in water and also when flushing with the muffs although boat motor has to be trimmed out a bit. Seems fine but wonder why I overheat when using flush port. All salt water so I flush after every trip Appreciate you!

I would really like to know how and why all that salt is in there. Like where is the water getting in from? Never seen that before except from a Honda I once had. That Honda was terrible for water leaking I the cowling
@BornAgainBoating 5 жыл бұрын
A lot of times the water gets forced in depending on how the spray comes off the hull and the trim tabs. Even a transducer can cause a lot of spray up towards the cowlings. Plus, these two-part cowlings, aren't the most watertight cowlings. Don't get me wrong, I love these cowlings compared to the one-piece, extremely heavy cowlings. That's probably beacuse they are light and easy to mess with :) but then also whenever the seas are rough and you're fighting fish, just the wave action on the back of the boat can force water into the cowlings and then it just creates a salty engine lol

Whats your thoughts on using a product like "Salt-A-Away" or a similar product?
@BornAgainBoating 4 жыл бұрын
Salt away is a great product, I know a lot of people that use it. You don't have to go overboard with it though, depending on how you use your boat once or twice a year is good!
@kerryhennessy169 3 жыл бұрын
Man, there was a ton of salt under those cowls. I probably need to give mine some love too, yikes!

I only have freshwater boating experience. You didn't show the inside of the engine cowling. Does that area get salt buildup too and require cleaning?
@BornAgainBoating 4 жыл бұрын
Freshwater is nice :) A lot of times the cowling has a dampening foam on it and it usually doesn't get the build up like the engine does. So unless it's really bad, then a quick wipe down will clean out the cowling.

Can this only be done when the boat is out of the water. Will this be bad for the environment if fine while in the water. Thx. Great video
@BornAgainBoating 4 жыл бұрын
Yeah, probably best to be done out of the water if you are going as in depth as this. Every so often you can spray it off in the water that should be fine for just salt build up

Every time I see the hose water hit the engine my heart skips a beat. When I took my cowling off to diagnose a clean power issue I am having I saw some salt. I will be doing this in the fall when boat come out of water.
@BornAgainBoating 5 жыл бұрын
Hahah that's funny, I think most people have that same reaction :) They do get a little salty in there and that's a good idea. It's best to try and do it where it can sit and dry out for a day. I think up North it won't dry out as quick as it does down here lol

They why I will do it in fall when boat comes out of the water for the season.

Doing that once a year is ok? How much can the salt damage if you clean it once a year?
@BornAgainBoating 5 жыл бұрын
I wouldn't worry about it, if you clean it once a year you will be in good shape! It won't be able to damage like it does down here and left for a couple years. With a yearly cleaning, you will be in great shape! If you can get your hands on some Yamashield I think that is the best stuff there is :) for the protectant

@BornAgainBoating 5 жыл бұрын
This will work for them too, just be more careful around the intake and the carbs to not get water in them. Most two strokes stay pretty clean and oily inside so they usually don't get this dirty :)

hi brother i was wondering which outboard mechanic school your Recommend im 21 and wanting to become a marine mechanic
@BornAgainBoating 5 жыл бұрын
Hello! Well that depends. I went to MMI and it was a pretty good school, but it cost $35,000! So, if you don't have the money, I don't really recommend you going into $40K in debt. Instead, you can go a different route, which is the route that I took to get into my first real shop. What you want to do is look around your area at all the marina's and dealerships that are close to you. Then go in 10-15 minutes before they open on Monday and see if they could use some help. Some of them will probably say no because you don't have any experience, but you just do that to all of them and do it each week until one of them gives you a job. Then once you get into one of the shops. Try and make friends with the oldest Technician there and just listen to everything they say! Try and do what they say too, make sure you are teachable and willing to work, listening to the way they tell you to do the job. Fast forward a couple years and you'll be a great Marine Technician making good money, going to school and getting manufacture certified!

No, it's a Wiggins and it's actually really nice. The tires don't seem to be holding up as well as you would think, but it's been pretty good for the most part.

We have the same problem. With a little research I found out good year is the only one they had a patent on the non-marking rubber compound and they don’t make it anymore

Really? The old fork lift was also a wiggins and tires would last at least a couple years. These are falling apart and at less than a year old! They just have chunks falling off all over the yard! It's crazy! Do you guys run on rocks or on concrete?
@patrickrolf482 5 жыл бұрын
We run on concrete. The tires you need are made by Mono-Matic-Soft shoe and never buy a Hoist they suck but then again Toyota bought them out so will see

I laugh at people when they say that IF YOU CLEAN YOUR ENGINE YOU WILL DAMAGE IT. 🤪🤪😜😜😜😜. I seen people cars and boat engines filthy dirty, never clean it since they bough the thing. How can people be like that. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
