Be Careful !
Late last year I made a covenant with myself to start using my kill switch at all times. I usually do wear my life vest and always while running. A few weeks ago I had a new boat partner with me (his wife had just passed).
Running down the river on a nice clear day with small chop and the sun at our back I hit a submerged tree the size of of a long desk. About 57 mph. Airborn and things flying all over the place. Kill switch shut her down and we got tossed around the boat a bit but not ejected. . . could have easily though. About $3,500 damage to hydraulic trim, cowl and rear seat !
Be careful out there brethren !
p.s. I gotta visit this site more often. ! !
