« on: 12/26/13 18:48 UTC »
 When you think you've had a bad day.... my buddy ( heck of a dude) we go crappie fishing,( I posted the pics on the forum) beautiful day limit out blah blah blah well....
we leave the spot ... bump... hmmm odd for a tree to be out here.... dang spun the hub!
Oh well.... no big deal troll in
He gets home.... the lower unit is toast bent shaft, locked up, the whole 9 yards .... 2014 nitro with a 250 merc 2 months old!
So he back the boat into the garage bammmmm..... the door doesn't go all the way up dents the roof of the truck to hell and crushes the garage door 2013 ford truck! Wow I feel sooooo bad I told him to lock himself in the basement away from everything till the storm passes! So my  broke rod for the day wasn't such a big deal....

   I've done that twice to a lower unit. Both times I knew better and both times I just shook my head and wondered what I was thinking. The garage door is the reason I don't have power poles on my boat. I know I'll forget to lower them.

If the wings are traveling faster than the fuselage, it's probably a helicopter - and unsafe.

Some days, it just doesn't pay to get out of bed.
Until next time.

It's bad enough having trouble on the water but then to have trouble on land.  Now that's a bad day. Mike  :'(
