minor set back-
« on: September 15, 2010, 02:38:46 PM »
went to turn and realized that my steering was limited, by that time it was too late so I shut it down and held on. Good thing the rocks were small and slick, there was almost zero damage.

I'm with ya on it! At the Father's Day deal at Big River deal Last Year (Not this past one), my then new diverter I, apparently, did not loctite the bolt holding the cable to the reverse bucket. As we all left an upriver beach and headed back downriver to see who we could help get on the water (A few boats were being worked on at the ramp), I was last and after running at  WOT for a bit,  lifted for a wake, bucket apparently dropped, I nailed it hard again damn near threw me from the boat! In fact I'm still surprised it didn't.

Was fun nursing it back. Actually was kinda fine after awhile of figuring out what happened. Roll into it real slow and the pressure would open it up. Ralph came to the rescue with a diddy bag full of bolts and nylock nuts!  :thumbup:  Fuggers are still on there loctited!

Loctite is my friend, loctite is my friend..........

Gosh this thread is cool on so many levels:

JBUnderground - way to have some very hot wimmin in your vid. Why can't I ever have that kind of crew during my mishaps????!!!

Then GT Jets steps in with a nice thread hijack and we (or at least I) forget about the OP's original (and relatively minor) boat out of water problem.

And then the BEST part of all is RivRat34's post. I think I may make this my sig line:
"man that was lucky nothing minor damaged! "

Might want to check inside the jet. Never know what you'll find.
Glad to hear it wasn't worse. You got a nice boat.
And like Beav said, it even looks good on the rocks
