Default Re: Outboards.....Had it!

My friend owns a 25 with twin brand new 2002 rudes and charter fishes now and again to make boat payments . Here is a sad story . He's flying out to the fishing grounds with two customers doing about 40 . They all heard a loud bang and then all hell broke loose . The piston shot right out thrue the top of the motor and into outer space . My brother got second degree burns putting out the motor fire ! He doesn't think much of the Ficht motor design . He's repowering with Yamaha's. I thought I would pass this along - Just an opinion .
