Default Re: What about this???

armstrong bracket Suzuki 225 2-stroke EFI , Believe me it is very disheartening to have to keep the plugs in as I have been aboard a friends boat that got pitched back on it's transom when a 8 to 10 ft. wave lifted the bow and stood us vertical , when I lokked to the back of the boat there was no motor and 1 1/2 to 2 ft. of the transom completely awash in white water , when the bow settled all the water washed forward and the next wave lifted the bow and washed everything inside out thru the cutout for the outboard. No one onbaoard said a word for several minutes.I quickly thought about my boat and what would have happened with my setup.Would the water have not washed in due to the closed in transom , there is no way that amount of water would not have swamped my boat . The fellow who owned the boat immediately sold the boat and his beach cottage he was so scared.It was a combination of wind and tide and a non maintained inlet. Between the waves ther was maybe 1 1/2 ft. of water along with the fact that as the wave broke the captain completely backed off the throttle.
