Default true story...

Several years back, my sister and brother and law had the entire lower half sheered right off their boat. Their I/O instantly turned into an I/ , at close to full throttle. Think about that. If the rock were inches higher they would have eaten the windshield. The way the story goes (and both parties agree) was they cruising along, my sister, with chart in hand suggesting they make a quick stop as they were in a part of the lake she was not familiar with, and wanted to be sure to find the safest passage. However my brother in law assured her, "no problem, as long as we stay clear of the markers". Oh! I guess you're supposed to pass them on the correct side. Turns out those colors mean something.
I think he took a pretty good beating duing the tow in.
