[QUOTE="Douglasdzaster, post: 506735, member: 27803"] It sure was fun back then though. But all my stuff was covered too. We had guys come in with lower units completely missed , electronics knocked off from spearing a wave. The prop shop lived us we kept them busy. Guys would forget to raise their trolling motor and come in with it bent under the boat. We had one guy that ram out of insurance companies that would cover him. Worst that happened to me was I was working the hot foot (throttle) in rough water. And when I punched it the motor just died. I put it in neutral and it started right up but when I put it in gear died. I raised it out of the water and there was a big oh gear sticking out the side of the lower unit. They found a couple of parts that were weak and Mercury warranted it. [/QUOTE]
