Post by: dodger on February 26, 2012, 06:38:39 PM: very lucky, glad it was only pride that was hurt, losing a motor, probably not warmed up enough. Had a launch at Warner Doone in the then commodores boat, lost the motors not warming them through and a shout of hang on. We just took a wave and then got going. Eish you must run the motors to warm them and to prove no airlocks in the fuel system etc... very lucky indeed

Probably doesn't matter but I can just see the manufacturer printing new ads in the line of.......

Our boats are so tough that even if the motor fails it will still survive the surf.........Kaching in comes the money :rain:
