Supposed to be a torture test or what?

Video is old. They’ve already recovered the motor and flushed it.
guy needs to calm down. They didn’t almost die.

That's his whole schtick. You should see how crazy he gets when getting a sea trail ride on the Cigarette Tirranna.

Good point, I didn't think about how heavy those are. But for the cost of one of them, I think I would ask the guy with the camera to put it down and at least try to help me pull it aboard instead of letting it soak in salt and mud for a couple hours-days-weeks however long until I can hire a diver to get it.

What the hell!! Drive to the beach disconnect the motor, rope the dislodged outboard securely up for the slow idle to the beach to save the outboard. Then the two adults could have drug the motor via the ropes to the beach.

To hire divers to go back and search for it is ridiculous, I assume his boat insurance covers this, or he is so wealthy he said "f*ck it."

That is the difference between an excessively wealthy person who doesn't give a f*ck, and cuts his motor loose when exigent circumstances did not exist. I would have never ever cut my outboard loose unless it would have caused the boat to sink, valve off the fuel (as he said with quick connects) then get towed or idle in to shore to salvage the outboard.

I am sick to see someone cut an outboard loose, a f*cking disgrace!!!!

This is why you put 5 of them on the back. Just in case :)

Guys it's his motor..If he wants to cut it loose and get it later (or not) so be it. Like he said at the end of the vid. He'll have another motor on it tomorrow.

Recovery video. Start at 7:40...

Yes, that is his choice, still disgraceful.. Anyone who truly cares about their equipment and or the cost of salvage would not have choose that option, no excuses.

I work too hard and care much about boats and the power to just let it sink to the bottom. That is the difference, maybe I was brought up differently. I am not wealthy enough to let my outboard sink to the bottom.
