Running backwards
Has anyone pitched a boat while the motor was running backwards? The other day I fired up my big cat
Unbeknown to me it had started backwards, common with a high compression motor.
Anyway after launching it immediatly threw water over the transom, and came back at me .
By the time I grabbed the tx and shut it down, it jammed the rudder into the bank.
I was lucky it didn't harm the prop. Can't say the same for the rudder though.
By the time you comprehend and react, a lot can transpire It's hard totell if a boat motor has
started backwards, not like an airplane..
Having this much fun must be illegal
