It is a little daunting taking a boat out on your own for the first time, in this video I do just that! The 24 year old boat I renovated still has a few problems.
Thank you for watching

Little tip with your backup engine mate . Run the in a fixed straight line and use the main engine as a rudder . Save u sitting over the stern

@@AirbornePirates it works well mate when i used to give my backup a run somtimes i just tightened the tiller so it would stay fixed and tried steering the main engine as rudder and it worked great mate. That was on my warrior out in morcambe bay 👍🏻

Good looking craft,... congrats. Quick observation though,... having a mate on his Seadoo "hooning about" whilst you're hunting is probably not a great help. 🙂 I'll admit, I also have my own years of hooning about... It's fun, but it's got a very limited life.

@@AirbornePirates Naa mate, Australia. Used to be able to do what you wanted, lve always lived near the beach & was always in the water, spearing catching dinner etc. Slowly but surely in it all come. Dad was a deisel fitter, made his own tanks, made a filling station out in the shed (too far away to get em filled every wk). Saw plenty of dead Noah's, caught for their teeth & chucked back in. A Right Whale had died & attracted a school of big dogs (little 8-9ftrs too) but blokes turned up in boats & hopped on the whale, While these things are having a picnic. Rapid Heads SA 20-25yr ago..try have search, some of the footage is scary. TV stations said a few New Australians had been fined for climbing on the whale, lucky they weren't Temporary Australians! Hope this licences for everything doesn't creep in over there. Enjoy the channel, lm as curious as you as to what you'll find.. esp if you keep getting our weather!

@@AirbornePirates Thanks for the reply, that’s quite some distance. If the Great Whites venture to the UK, I think there’s a very good chance they’ll be somewhere off the western coast of Scotland. It’d be interesting to see you take the boat up in that direction, beautiful coast.

Just found your channel as was searching 12v wiring videos.. You have some great content. Would it not be better to locate your aux outboard on port side, to counter balance 1 person on the helm ? Just a thought.. Good job on the refit of the Warrior though.
