Captain your wife in going broke like that,thanks her for yours videos I sure enjoy them.

I remember a time when you regularly crossed to the Bahamas and back on a 17 foot center console with no air conditioner. Thank you for the excellent videos, Captain. Stay safe!

OMG, I'm devastated the way you opened that generator cover. I even dropped my beer. 😀😀😀

Great video Captain. Thanks for taking us along. 🙏

Need that AC. I wish I would have bought a boat like yours

Ok I'm thinking spare pull cord Or Maybe time for a new generator one with electric start......Nice trip! Thanks for taking us along! 😎👍🌴⚓

Love your intro, one of the best on KZfaq imo- short and to the point.

Great video and tips that help me when I did my 1st crossing 👍🏼👍🏼

Another great video cap. You are a considerate yachtsman going slow no wake past that dock. Too many inconsiderate ppl have no idea how much wake problems they make. Safe voyages. Hope some day to make that crossing.

No one said it has to be pretty. Gotta do whatever it takes. Also, it shows what a good paint job you did on the generator. It didn't even peel! Glad you are back home!

Always a good time, thanks for sharing... Be well...

Hell yes Capt. that was awesome love the way you handled that generator get er dun

Another great video captain!! Stay cool 😎

Yup I remember your 17 footer too you've come a long way cap...congrats! Murphys Law is always in effect especially at sea but as they say hope for the best but prepare for the worst. A/c is well worth the minor damage to the unit 👍. You may want to consider utilizing the kill switch safety lanyard when it gets rough and your bouncing around the cabin. I have the same pilot house and when it gets real rough you can easily bang your head on the roof of the pilot house and God forbid loose consciousness. Or just slow down as you suggested. Anyway, another great video keep em coming and stay safe!

Sometimes you have to do certain things, Cap. Quick fix. It has been a great generator for you. Glad you made it back home safely. The First Mate is waiting for her fresh fish filets.

Love the video, it is funny how quickly we become accustomed to the creature comforts like A/C. lol😆 I totally get it the older I get the less discomfort Im willing to endure as well.

Good fix Capt. Thanks for taking us along on your adventures. I would much rather watch you. then the shit that’s on tv today . Prop clear. Stay safe out there

Good job Captain, how can people lived without A/C and survive is amazing, I am with you A/C all the time..!!!

Great video captain. Keep them coming. Greetings from Boca Raton.

Crooked Pilot House eats well on the water! Dang... You got me Hungry fixing food for the day! Love the Drone footage you added to your channel 👍 VERY Educational on Cruising/Prop Efficiency 👍... Keep doing that. Many of us want to do the FL to Bahamas Trek in our smaller boat sizes like yours but NEVER would dare😵... Until we started watching ... Out on the Reef! Thanks for the education.

Good video Cap!

Awesome Cap!

Good wife is a jewel to a man bravo!

Round here we got Parker boats same design enclosed wheelhouse cuddy etc except the out board is on like a plateform or jack plate and im not keen on that but yours i like cause outboards off transom

The key words in today video is ape and air conditioner Cap does not leave home without it and the Cap came home like a boss good job.

You do love your AC :)

Great video! I'm from Taiwan. I have a boat almost the same with you and love deep sea fishing also.😉

saludos capitan comprate la soga original del generador😁😁🐟 y dile a la yamaha que te de un motor 300hp y la propela de 5000$ y vas a hacer 5 millas por galón nos hace falta donaciones 😁😁😁jajajajjaajajjajaja los botes son lo mejor✌✌

Awesome video as always. Oye… el cholesterol 😂😂😂. I’m glad you got the generator going. Haora, tienes q areglar la tapa, pero por lo menos huvo air-conditioner 😂😂😂

Hey cap good field fix to the gen to get it started. Gotta say tho I was a little nervous for ya watching you out of the seat alone and running at speed in bumpy conditions without a tether kill cord (I know you use a remote one). Just worried if you fell and unconscious in the pilot house motor wouldn’t shut off till you hit Florida. Stay safe out there. We love the vids. 👍😎

great video capt hope too see you again soon first thing when you get home put that credit card back lol

Good to have extra prop, plugs, fuel lines, clamps, pull rope, extinguisher, fuses, TP, bandages, etc. Stay safe, Skipper!

Nice trick on removing tomato skins. Nice cruise home.

Hey Cap. Get some Sta-Set polyester line in 3/16 and you won't be replacing that pull rope again.

❤ Wow, me you get the same ringtone alarm clock?😅😅

Lucky on the cord there cap.. hahah My boat uses the water for ac. Im thinking of converting to your setup... safe trip

If you had your ultimate dream boat, would it be something very simular to your boat? If you were to get larger, wouldn't it preclude you from getting as close to the islands? What features would you want in this dream boat that you do not have now? It's a great show, I never miss an episode.

You could get a 36v inverter to run your Air conditioner when your generator is down or at night. 36v 100ah battery can run your AC continuously for 5hrs. Generously assuming it never cycles off. Figuring your AC burns 500w running and another 100w for blowers. 600w continuous is 5hrs.

Have you seen the shock absorber helm chairs used in some Scandinavian boats? Your ride would be much, much kinder to your back and kidneys and more comfortable in choppy water sitting in one of them.

Be safe capitán.

Hey Capt.... Just saying hi before I watch the video... It just popped in and I wanted to be the first to 'comment' ☺!! Edit; Where there is a will, there is a way. I knew you would find a way to get the air conditioner working! EDIT 2: lol when saying opening like an 'ape', and lol when showing the costs with 'wife's' credit card! I'll bet the there is one combined bank account! ☺

LOL, you and your air con.🤣

Love your videos so relaxing,when your boat is topped up with fuel what is the range of it when doing 25mph,how many gallons does the tank hold,much appreciated

Next time on out in the reef, how I update my generator to electric start lol

Great Vid as usual. I’d love to know what you do for a living when you’re not boating Cap?

"Using the Wifes Credit Card ... Priceless" LOL... LOL

Ok….going with the theory of trim up to reduce drag and improve mileage, when are you installing retractable foils on your vessel? I’ve seen your craftsmanship and know you could figure it out! Imagine the gas savings!

Always safe to use your wife's credit card, always. LOL Stay safe my friend.

Captain I will inform the engineering officer about the pull cable on the ship! 📢📢 Full steam ahead Captain ⚓

Get some Dyneema cord/rope for that pull-start.

“Using my wife’s credit card is priceless” 😂😂

hey capt nice ..jungle fix..to the generator. Seems to me if the air conditioner is so important then perhaps you need to think about stowing a back up you could tie it down behind the bench seat backrest perhaps or somewhere forward if you leave the gas out until you need it keep up the great vids! blue waters and soft breezes to you!

What was your avg. Knots on the return trip? Love your content!

The panel had screws no need to pry the panel off.

Do you not have to check out with custom’s before returning to US?

Curious why elevate the generator instead of placing on deck?

Is there any deep sea fish to catch making the crossing?

Buy a Honda generator they are much more quite

Lol priceless

The air condition doesn't work with engine on?

2 is 1 and 1 is none

Lol don't be sorry I would have done the same thing to have my ac

Tomato is actually a fruit, not a veggie

Did you comment on Loon live?

👀 You want some Air condition Come to state Ohio? It's 30° you can get all the AC you want.😅😅

I couldn't put my life in the hands of autopilot.

You really need to find a group of experienced boaters. It would help you a lot with all your skills. You are beating yourself up every crossing either going to fast, using autopilot when it may not be best, and not trimming boat properly. I wish you luck but be open to some help.

Hello @outonthereef See the comment on the vid you sent me. Thanks

Hey Capt Crooked nice trip. I’m going start opening my ryobi generator like your emergency door opener a craftsman screwdriver. You should try trimming down your tabs a little to go through the waves and it won’t slam the hull so hard or as much. Also you think u slick w wife’s card,what you don’t know is she’s going to charge triple on yours that you left in your socks drawer. Wife’s know everything. 😂😂 JT HOOKED N ROLLING OFFSHORE 🇺🇸🇺🇸🐠🐟🎣🛥
