      We had a fishing trawler that wound up I believe being a total loss cuz they couldn't get it unstuck from a similar situation. He was asleep and probably overworked, didnt think and had it on autopilot. I didn't get any more details but at least he was asleep...😅 personally, I'd rather have to loose an anchor than have to file an insurance claim.

The chain must stay on the bottom. If not the boat going up and down on the waves lift the ancher up and it wont hold. So you would need 100? Yards of line. Where i live boats from 27/30 feet and bigger have a full chain anchor line. And a winch on the bow where the chain fits in. When anchoring youre best of putting 3/5 times the dept chain length out.

    I would guess the tow off the beach alone will be $1000, then several hundred to tow it back to where ever they launched it. He should have dropped his anchor when he realized it wouldn't restart, and called the tow company then. Now instead of a few hundred he's going to pay substantially more. Very fortunate he ended up on a smooth sandy beach and not the rocks next to the inlet.

I boated in the entrance to Baltimore harbor where wake from a ship raised my boat and snapped 2 anchor ropes while fishing off Sparrows Point. I was always glad when some fellow boater towed me back to safe harbor. I'm sure this guy felt better when help arrived.

      If you drop an anchor and it immediately drags, yank it and drop it again. Just letting it drag isn't going to help, and redeploying it at least gives you a prayer that it'll dig.

      Here, they needed their anchor to dig, and it didn't. No biggie, it happens, but it usually won't correct itself and needs to be reset manually or it'll just keep dragging.

      Drop the hook before you're on the beach. If you're on the beach, you can not push a boat out by the stern. The bow is much lighter, and you will have much more of the weight of the boat in the water it will also keep the water going over the stern onto the boat. Also, when you're on the beach, it's not a tow it's a salvage. And it may not be insured. The boat stalled most likely from clogged fuel filters by stirring up the tank in the rough inlet waters . Drop the hook, carry extra filters, and you will not be on

    In such choppy weather, the anchor should have been secured to the bow, not the stern. This would have reduced the likelihood of the anchor dragging.

    I'm willing to bet if they'd pulled the water separator and dumped it that motor would have started right up again. A boat that age likely has a decent amount of garbage in the fuel tank that got all stirred up going through the inlet.

    Water will swirl and make the sand worse around the boat.

    With that rough sea, anchoring would be less effective unless he had as lot of rode and a big anchor. It could have slowed his movement towards the beach so he could call SeaTow.

    No radio. No anchor. No spare motor. NO BRAINS!. And that boat could be pulled off the beach with 9.8 hp tin boat. If you know how... Not hard either. How do I know this... Good video. Watch and learn what not to do!

    If he belongs to either Seatow or TowBoat US, it depends on his annual conract, some contracts it is free, it all depends on many variables that the Boat's Captain agrees to.

    That's why I always have an aux engine installed. You never know when your main one stalls. The aux engine bracket and the aux engine itself would cost less than this operation. Luckily no one was harmed here 👍

    The captain made a very poor decision to "hit a few waves" because it likely kicked up the accumulating sediment from the bottom of his fuel tank causing the fuel filter to become clogged. When the fuel filter and fuel line became clogged the engine stalled and could not be restarted.

    • @darknes7800

      More likely engine or lower unit failure. And the fact that the boat is a POS !

    • @maxdugan7449
      @maxdugan7449 Месяц назад

      Or the timing chain could have jumped the sprocket. Looking at the age of his boat and the condition of the engine box cover our captain did not maintain his boat well. While we are guessing the engine could have had a cracked piston. It is obvious the engine had a catastrophic failure. The question is what could the captain done different.
      BTW: it wasn’t a lower unit failure. I think my original guesstimate is correct.

    • @maxdugan7449
      @maxdugan7449 Месяц назад

      I agree it’s possible for a lower unit failure. We really don’t know for sure until the lower unit and engine is examined. It could be as small as the float and needle in the carburetor. Looking at the age and the abuse he puts his boat through he is.
      lucky his hull hasn’t cracked wide open after “hitting some waves”. It is obvious to all this captain dies not maintain his boat.

    I don't see how their is anything this guy could have done differently. Except for dropping his anchor immediately. It sure would have cost him much less money getting towed from the water. As opposed to the beach. But once an engine fails their isn't much you can do about it.

    You need at least two good anchors with a couple hundred feet of line on each. Don't leave the dock without them. Get a fire extinguisher, flare gun, marine radio and epirb.
