X14: The best mildew remover for boat seats?
All the supposedly gentle on vinyl and stitching products I have used don't seem to clean mildew at all, Magic erasers are abrasive, Bleach eats the stitching, and vinegar makes your boat smell like a pickle factory.
Is there any winning? Well, X-14 may not be the answer since it does contain bleach, but I suspect with proper care and handling that may not be a huge issue.
Here is what you need to try this:
X-14 Mildew remover: amzn.to/3yMPciV
Spray bottles: amzn.to/3KvcI6D
303 Vinyl protectant/conditioner: amzn.to/4e0Adls
Sponge: amzn.to/3KOYI85 (Borrow one from your kitchen, don't use the abrasive side)

    Great video. I learned something new which is punching a hole on the vertically mounted oil filter. Pretty cool I must say. And oh yeah, I remember it was messy when I first pulled the oil filter out during my first oil change on 2020 EXR. The next time around I always load up the oil filter with paper towel to catch the oil. For new DIY, remember the oil capacity for the EXR is 3.59 qrts or 3.4 L and other spec says 3.7L. You need to extract above 3.5 qrts. The deep stick hole will fit 1/4" OD siphon to get down to the bottom of the oil pan and maybe difficult to land the holy hole, but if you do, you will be able extract all the oil out. Using the crankcase hose will work too, but does not get all the way down to the bottom. I return the same amount of oil extracted and does not use the dipstick to meter the correct oil level. Right, wrong or indifferent, I am use to do oil changes with engine cold as long as I know how much oil is needed to be extracted. I see other videos running the jet ski for over 5 minutes to heat up the oil which is not recommended by the shop manual and recommends 2 minute run with hose connected to provide cooling. The jet pump is deprived of water lubrication and may cause premature wear?

    • @pumpkin971

      Oops correction. Sump drain hose and not crankcase hose. There is no such thing as crankcase hose.

    • @trythistv
      @trythistv 3 дні тому

      @@pumpkin971 I agree that a ski should not be run for extended periods on the hose, the pump is unloaded and the bearings aren't often designed to support everything. I will warm skis up if I can put them in the water and ride them around in circles at idle (only a few minutes otherwise its too hot though) The extra little hole down in the oil tank cavity where the dipstick is does prove challenging to hit, but getting all that oil out is nice. I still do get some out of the sump drain hose even if I have extracted everything possible from the oil tank. Total is usually between 3.5 and 4 quarts per machine, so 3.59-3.7 sounds spot on to me. When you punch the filter, don't go too deep, and double check you don't knock the bypass valve out, if you punch dead center you can knock it out, I typically punch them off on an edge of the top to avoid such a problem.

    Yesterday I was out on the water and my 08 VR Deluxe wanted to start but wouldn't crank over a few times (finally did). I noticed the oil was slightly over the mark and I constantly (every year) end up changing plugs. Any idea if the oil being slightly over would cause these issues?

    • @trythistv
      @trythistv 3 дні тому

      A slight bit overfull probably wouldn't cause issues that quickly, if it was high and flooded the air filter to get down to the level its at now then it could cause some weird issues. Plugs seem to be a fairly common thing, My Honda tends to foul one or two the first time I start it for the season, but then is good until the next year. My Sea-Don't fouls them at the first start and sometimes once more during the season.

    I have a 2008 VR Deluxe with 135 hrs and can barely reach 50 mph. I changed the oil filter once around 40 hrs ago but even then, only got to maybe 51 mph. so if I pull the air filter completely this won't harm the engine in your opinion?

    • @trythistv
      @trythistv 3 дні тому

      My opinion is that boats haven't had air filters for decades, PWCs didn't for a long time (no 2 stroke had an air filter that I'm aware of), New Sea-Doos don't have an air filter from the factory, and never have. Kawasaki hasn't put them on that I'm aware of either. Its just Yamaha and Honda that used air filters on their PWCs. The lake/ocean is not really a dusty environment for a jetski to be in, so how much is an air filter going to catch? I've personally seen and serviced rental PWCs with over 2000 hours that did not have an air filter, and they did not consume oil, have low compression or any other issues that could be attributed to the air filter being removed. I say take it out and see how she performs.

    Since the oil tank is under pressure this unit is playing a role of valve to allow compressed oil to go thru output so it is not a pump it is a one wY controlled valve to open and close oul supply

    • @trythistv
      @trythistv 5 днів тому

      Close. There is air pressure fed into the remote oil tank to keep the primary oil tank full, with a 2psi check valve to make sure the pressure does not get too high, but the actual oil pump is an electronic solenoid pump that pumps oil regardless of there being pressure in the system anywhere. If it relied purely on the pressure in the tank, the engine would starve for oil at startup or any time the oil tank was opened to fill. You can disconnect the air line, remove the remote reservoir, and still run the engine without issue until the primary oil tank runs dry, or run the prime procedure with a scan tool or using the onboard method to cycle the pump with the engine off and no pressure anywhere in the system. However, that slight positive pressure in the system could be a major factor in the o-ring in the pump leaking as it ages.

    Trythistv, Followed your DIY steps on how to troubleshoot my 1985 Mercedes 300d cruise control issue. Quit working about a month ago. Got to the point in your steps where the issue just had to be the magic box. Ordered the needed capacitors from Mouser as you suggested. Switched out the old caps with the new ones and took the car for a test drive. Still no cruise control! Only steps I skipped was the laborious task of removing the lacquer from the board and then spending an hour or so touch soldering each and every solder point on the pc board. Needless to say, I was not optimistic about the process. However, took the car for another test drive and there it was. CRUISE CONTROL once again! Bottomline for anyone attempting this fix: DO NOT SKIP the point solder steps. Painful, but well worth the extra effort in my case. Thanks for the detail and hard work you put into this vid.

    Brilliant! I've been through the same issue you had. My delivery valves were corroded on a couple. I eventually swapped outthe 84 pump for an 85 that came from low mileage vehicle. Coinceentally, the timing chain seemed stretched, so I replaced that and retimed it using the drip method with a pressure tank. Definately smoothed the idle out as it was very similar to yours before the swap. To further tweek it, I let the car get to temp, then backed off the injection pump damper. I then adjusted the idle until it was as smooth as possible. From there, I THEN tweaked the damper until the vibration went down further. I experienced the same issue you have - after engine gets warmed up, it starts to shake at idle after some highway driving. But it is not nearly as bad as it used to be.

It depends on if I feel it has run its course and the machine is as good as I can make it I will sell it. or if I have become attached to the project sometimes I keep them for a while until it makes me sad that it isn't getting the love and use it deserves. I've still got a bunch of the projects I've made videos on, I have more I want to do with some of them, I do have some hondas for sale right now actually though lol, they rarely need much, and aren't too exciting to make video after video on.

    So is your Jet Ski a 1200 cc 4-stroke turbo.. I bought a jet boat. 3.6 mac boat. Running the 1200 4-stroke Honda turbo. How do you flush freshwater through them. I can't see anywhere you can do it.🤔

    • @trythistv
      @trythistv 16 днів тому

      It is, and I've worked on a tremendous amount of Hondas, I currently own about 11 of them in various states from currently for sale running great to totaled hulls with good engines and blown up engines in bad hulls. The flush port is in the pump tunnel from the factory, if you skip to 1:48 in this video: ua-cam.com/video/ZTVeWFoutJ0/v-deo.html&ab_channel=trythistv it shows the fitting to flush with. I'm not sure if it will be the same in a jet boat, the plumbing might have been modified significantly.

      I should probably do some kind of update for the newest models and issues I'm seeing. I've been hearing the nanoxcel hull yamahas have been having issues with the hull breaking from the rollers on jetski ports, so be careful with the 2016ish and newer yamahas. Seen it myself about 5 or 6 times. Seadoo has their plastic hulls like the spark and some of the newer GTI models that I'm still on the fence about, I prefer the old school fiberglass hulls personally, but the plastic hulled seadoos seem more durable than the yamaha nanoxcel as it turns out.

    WOW. You shouldn’t be using wire wheel at all on soft aluminum, or even sand paper unless you are resurfacing. Why don’t people understand a painter’s razor held perpendicular to the gasket surface with light pressure is all you need to clean without causing any damage to sealing surfaces.

    • @trythistv
      @trythistv 19 днів тому

      I'll send the next petrified gasket I get your way, I've caused way more damage with a razor than with a wire wheel, but I do agree, a wire wheel used too aggressively will damage the sealing surface. But so will a razor, and you won't get the gasket material off a 30 year old carb with a razor. Nowadays I tend to use a soft scotchbrite pad on a rotary tool.

      @@trythistv funny, I apprenticed under a master automotive mechanic for 10 years and that’s the only way we were allowed to do it when working with soft metals. Excellent results.

    • @trythistv
      @trythistv 19 днів тому

      The heat, ethanol, oil and whatever else happens in these carbs petrifies the paper gaskets so bad, I've never had issues scraping gaskets from an automotive style carb or anything else with a razor, but these gaskets harden up like it's a part of the metal. I've broken razors trying to scrape these things off, so I opted to very carefully use a wire wheel, and then later began with the scotchbrite wheels, which has worked excellent for the past 10 years I've been doing this, but I am extremely careful to just get the gasket off. Haven't had any issues with leaking fuel or vacuum yet, but I am well aware it's a dangerous game

      I've heard of people using worm drive style clamps and them working fine, I just like the extra peace of mind that the oetiker clamps provide even pressure and won't loosen up from vibration or anything.

    I just installed them on my 02 gtx 155. And I did the hard thing and i drilled a new hole in the hull and just siliconed the crap out of it. Haven't put it on the water yet but I'm fingers crossed.

    • @trythistv
      @trythistv 19 днів тому

      There shouldn't really be any pressure anywhere too much, just flowing water across the outside of the hull, I'd think you'll be fine, but it would probably be wise to keep an eye on it just to be sure at least for the first couple outings

    SLT 780 jetski triple carb leaks gas. I checked all the fuel lines looks good. i got a rebuilt carb , wondering what would be the reason for gas drip when i rev high.

    • @trythistv
      @trythistv 21 день тому

      Higher RPM could slightly raise the fuel pressure because the pump would be pumping faster, maybe you've got a little pinhole in a gasket or something that only drips as the pressure goes up?

    Thanks for a great video, I remember in early 80s you could just buy the bushing only and some of cars has alternative on a easy place to reach, it was easy and cheap fix. Unfortunately with the newer and with LOT of features , we don't have the luxury to fix them cheap you have to trade in the part, for about $30 to get another one for XXX amount. But good thing is as long theses great old cars are around and great people like you who share their knowledge and experience in a very good understandable way, with the others We are in good shape, Thanks again for your time for us all on a Sunday. Stay blessed

      So many things have become a replace rather than repair product. I've been enjoying a reddit group called buyitforlife, as is true with the internet and anything in general you do have to take what is suggested with a grain of salt but there are some good products that are durable enough to keep for years!
