New Video!!!!!!!! Ride To Winter Storage
 

Best video on here!!! very informative and the boat is stable,that Coors light never moved!!!!!:drink:

I guess Casper the friendly ghost was driving with an invisible kill switch. I'm guilty of that too. After reading a bunch of posts and finding out what happens when a drive breaks, I'm going to use my kill switch next year. I don't want to force this on my passengers, but I might not allow people to sit on the engine hatch while underway. Glad you posted your video. Hate that summer is over. Time to spend money on upgrades. :drink:

Saw your feet, saw your feet.

I like how your just cruising and like f it and threw it on the dash. Lol!

I have a tie bar for that if your meaning it will slap around and hair pin the boat.

If the drive broke and the motor reved up the Rev limiters would catch it.

I would hope these people that posted these nightmares about loosing a drive under power had more brains than horse power they wouldnot have these problems. And set there boat up to not Hair Pin by using a tie bar. Or not blow up using rev limiters.

P.S. I can see if there only running a single engine boat loosing the steering can be a problem...... Just My 2 Cents

A tie bar won't help much if the drive came apart at the U-Joint and broke off. Actually, it may make the situaion worse.
I was reading a thread and this is what happend. An individual was cruising at about 3200rpm when one of the U-joints broke and the brovo drive broke off, leaving the drive hanging down. It looked like the broken bravo drive image on www.arneson-industries.com. The boat was a twin and when this happened, the boat made a sharp instant turn and people were ejected out of the boat, including the driver. That kind of makes you think. The thought never crossed my mind until I read the thread. Use your KILL SWITCH.

Ahhh...Hmmm...???...something just seem right, but I can't put my finger on it.

I see what your saying now I have seen ujoints blow and blow the gimbal housings apart. This has to be so rare but it is good to be on the safe side. I wear the kill switch in my fountian because of the low sides And its a center Console I was almost throwin out of that thing.

Video proof that chicks don't ride with boneheads in their boats. :drink:

yes indeed, i second that!

THANKS PHANTOM

Its more common than you think. It happened to my boat under the previous ownership. Fortunately they were going slow when it happend.

Whats up buddy...I get out from behind the wheel for 30 seconds and I cannot hear the end of it....

How about when we are all parting all day and have to drive home, Im the D.D.
I like to get wasted when im not.... Ha Ha:bsflag:

I think we have all walked away from the wheel at some point in our lives. It's amazing the things you can learn from posts like this. Nice boat!

I do,Sometimes I go down into the cabin to make a sandwich ,but I make sure there is no other boats around for a few miles..I feel better now seeing I am not alone on this....:evilb:

Haters:coolcowboy:

I have actually gone to the bathroom but my boat isn't as fast as your so I did not cover as much distance.:party-smiley-004:

True,I know those little boats only have portapotty's ,and with that shallow cabin you could probably hit it from the drivers seat.:lolhit:

Who has a twin engine boat without a tie bar? I have been in a side by side setup and lost a motor because of faulty ignition harness and I can tell ya that tie bar isn't going to do chit.

It is your boat and nobody around so do as you wish but I am just pointing out that your confidence associated with the tie-bar isn't really all that valid. Pull your kill lanyard for one side at 50mph and see what happens..
