The further away from the center line that the point of thrust is applied the worse the yaw will be when the thrust is lost.

This was a topic for guardian mode on Passion for Powerboats FB group. Guys with drives up high in v-bottoms and high speed were commenting on instability with guardian taking power out of one engine and not both. I had this happen to me and with side by side engines and deep drives it did nothing....just slowed down. I was going 85 and guardian shut one engine completely down due to hitting a wave and drive fluid coming off the sensor in the reservoir. I just overfill them a bit now, but it completely shut that engine down at full speed. Someone was talking about running 110 in a stagger boat and this being pretty sketchy with the boat on top of the water.

Darr always talked about this Anthony guy like he was Don Aronow. I find it hilarious that they were in that old POS Skater and one guy was on the throttles and the other driving.........
Hopefully the other involved person heals up quickly.

I know there is a history here, but sure hate to see someone who worked hard to get their boat ready go through that.
