First off let me say thank you for watching my videos.
If you feel that this video or any of my videos has helped you then please feel free to donate what you see fit and please do not feel obligated to do this. It is greatly appreciated and goes to further more help producing more of these. I am not a "for hire" marine mechanic and I do not make a living at working on boats, tackle or marine engines. I am a charter fishing guide and small business owner who chooses to work on things myself in my line of work and in return try to share some of the things I have learned, with you the viewer. I do these tutorials to help you, the viewer, save some money and time (it has saved me a ton of both) by doing the work yourself. However making these video tutorials takes a massive amount of time (instead of just doing the work without recording it and then uploading them), post editing, research and time away from my job as a fishing guide, which I do full time. I want to say thank you very much and again thanks for watching.

A typical marine mechanic usually makes between $70 and $95 an hour. Plus the time it takes for them to have the engine/boat in their possession to even get to the work. Think of the money and time you can save by doing some things yourself. It adds up fast over the years.

I also want to stress very clearly that I have nothing against them, at some point in time I too need their expertise and services. I appreciate the depth and knowledge they have. However just like the "big" home improvement stores and "do it your self'" places that are not going after the handymen and builders, we all like to expand our knowledge and have a sense of accomplishment. So please do not take any offense to these videos.
