Craig,
See what happens when you fish Elliott Bay without me..
Sorry to hear about the end of your day, that sucks..
I was taking a buddy of mine out there once, we had launched beneath the 1st Ave bridge
and I backed out put the motor in fwd and whump, it dies, sheesh, I start it back up put it in gear and whump, it dies, I can`t believe this, I know its been a while a since I ran this thing but what is going on...I start it back up again, starts right up by the way, idles great, accelerates great, put it in gear and whump..dies..I don`t even know how many times.
I apologize to my buddy Kurt, go up and get the truck, put the boat back on the trailer and start pulling it out, Kurt says I think I found your problem, I get out and there was a whole dang net
wrapped around my prop, the rope and all, I was 10' out of the water and there was still even more net going in the water, you talk about being a little poed......by the time we got it all cut-off we only had about an hour of light left.
