Re: 77 23' Savage
You are likely right, however. I witnessed a teenager jumping into a Donzi equiped with an I/O tied to a dock on Lake Murray in SC. He didn't run the blower and immediately turned the key. The explosion not only destroyed the boat but killed the boy and injured a near by observer.
As contributed on another thread on this site, my personal policy is to run the blower for 5 minutes WITH the engine cover lifted with no one else aboard, if at all possible, prior to cranking the engine.
As I said, Just me 2 cents.
