Blowing A Motor Above 100 MPH ???
 

What would happen if you blew a motor or drive On a twin engine boat Cat or V hull ??? For instance if the motor or drive blew and locked up the drive say above 100MPH.


Would it hook ? Turn hard ? What does it do ?

Thanks

Rob :D

Rumor has it,running around 150 or so and you jammed your drive with shrapnel,it wouldnt be pretty.When they rig something that goes that fast,skater,mti,nortech ect a number 6 is worth its weight in gold.I havent heard of one blowing up have you?Im by no means an expert any opinions?

were you out playing in the lake today :eek: :eek:

Never over 100 but:

I had an engine on the cat shut down at 80+. The boat just gradually slowed down.

The other day one engine was acting up so I used both to get it up on plane and shut one off on the way to the ramp. After about 4-5 miles it sat back down in the water. So I ran one at 3300 and the other at 2000(as much as it would go) and the boat handled in a normal operating fashion at 40 mph (just very slow).

I had a 28' Daytona loose spark on one engine at 90. No hook, slowed down to about 45 and ran 5 miles to the marina on one engine.
