Wow...freaking terrible. I lost a motor but was lucky it stayed out of the boat...that looks deadly right there.


Whether you think you can or you can't, you are probably right.

One more reason for me to buy "The Leash"...seems it would help reduce the risk of the motor coming into the boat.

Looks like there might be some blood on the driver's back seat. I hope the person was not hurt

Don’t run where you don’t know the water and this won’t happen.

My worst nightmare. Right there. Horrible.

Ain’t a life racket or a kill switch doing a damn but of good in that situation. Scary [censored] for sure.

Thought I had the motor in the boat with me one time, hit a floater hard enough to break the cowling latches and the cowling ended up sitting next to me.

OMG! Prayers for the driver and anyone else in the boat. Looks like the driver had a pretty hard impact with the console and graph. Hope he makes a full recovery!

When in doubt, set the hook.

My buddies boat, that we used Saturday on Fork, has a leash on it. The one of the very reasons we used it. Neither of us knew where we were going. I was looking at it, it looks like it could keep the motor out of the seats. This boat owner needed one for sure.
