  • Arrived on scene to a boat doing circles near the Roosevelt Bridge in Stuart. Passenger was ejected when their cable steering broke, and were not wearing their safety lanyards. Was able to successfully tangle the runaway boat's prop causing to immediately stop.

    Folks. Watch and learn. This clip is good knowledge. He's throwing a floating line to foul the prop and stall the engine. It's a simple and effective solution to a runaway boat problem. Your ski line floats and in a pinch can be used in a similar way. This solution is great to know and is much safer than trying to board. Good stuff.

      Thanks!! I kept rewatching trying to figure how that line got on the boat but it went into the propeller to kill it! Sweet!

    You keep getting better at the run away boat thing. The Bouy on the end of the tangle rope was a great trick.

    Examples like this are exactly why I teach new boaters NOT to pass under bridges at full speed or by any immovable object. I am so hyper aware that if something goes pear shaped in those instances, you will have no chance to respond or recover. A steering cable snapping or hydraulic issue can quickly lead to death. As a Captain you have to be ready to respond to every single potential issue that COULD occur. It doesn’t mean it is likely to occur but your responsibility it to quickly and safely respond to those possibilities.

    My cousin and a friend were tossed out of the family's 14' wood dual cockpit, 1955-57 35 Evinrude, back in the late 60's. Probably goofin' off. Cold spring day on the Pend Oreille River near the junction of the Lake. Controls were loose, it rattled over and started chasing them, finally the loose throttle rattled back, and one of them snagged the bow line "on the way by." If one or both didn't get it from the prop, they would have died from the cold. "Lucky."

      Preferably a lanyard and Killswitch. Hot foot is dangerous because in chop it’s hard to maintain throttle.

    My boat has cable steering. It also does not have a lanyard. It was made in 1999 before safety was a thing. I'm not retrofitting it with one either. If this happens to me OH FUCKING WELL.

    • @CaptainRetriever
      @CaptainRetriever  11 месяцев назад +1

      Get hydraulic, they’re not immune to failure, but a much better system. The other 2 reasons people get ejected are waves usually boat wakes & small boats, or crashes. My last runaway was at night, other vessel overtook him, and smashed into the boat ejecting him.
