[QUOTE="turbotodd, post: 371173, member: 7376"] Could end up like the time when my GF and I were running up river in sort of an emergency situation (trying to get someone to run back down there with a barge to pick up a stranded boater). My motor died. SHe was sitting in the front of the boat up on the pedstal, told her to sit down on the deck but no. Motor died, she goes right over the front of the boat in ICE cold (like 43°F) water. Luckily it was only about waist deep but still..... The Yamaha's have a RPM limit. When engine temp gets to a certain point, the engine goes into limp mode rather than cutting spark totally. It gets your attention but it's not enough to create a panic type situation. The other issue with cutting power totally is restarting. Once the motor is shut off, it gets even hotter for a minute or two after being shut down. If you had to restart quickly, you'd need a manual over-ride of some sort which adds more complexity. [/QUOTE]
