Awesomw stuff there. But I have a stupid question I have never asked before. With these huge cats having to be towed on their side, what happens to all the fluids?? Oil, fuel, etc...

Vinny.........I think I remember reading in one of the magazines that they have systems on the boats (or possibly the trailers) that actually pump all the fluids out before tilting..............

Hi, First the engines are dry sump so the oil is in a sealed tank. The fuel vents are on 1 side of the boat so there are no fuel spills. Nothing has to be removed and nothing special has to be done. I guess you can say MTI's are manufactued "tilt friendly".
