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.
Look at the line port side aft. That looks an anchor line to me. Whats the draught on the shore line say at 25/30 yards? If the line is to steep downwards the anchor wont hold. Its lifted by the rising boat.
@@henkoosterhof5947draft of a boat doesn’t change. Also, you speak out of both sides of your mouth. One, you’re crediting him with having an anchor out. However, you also say it’s not holding. Pick a story and stick to it.
@@JFunk717 i think i did. I see a line i think is an anchor line. So he was not stupid not to do so. But then you need weight to hold. Thats an anchor and chain. 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.
Despite the drama, this old welcraft is probably the nicest and most practical boat you have shown. With all the money and technology, why are there so many ugly yachts?
Absolutely correct, sir! I have a 1989 Magna, 22', up here on Lake Michigan. She is dependable, and still looks like a boat. My saying is, Old boats, old cars and older women! .
Those boats may be good for the weekend boater. They don't fish worth a darn. Constantly have to steer the boat port to starboard. To keep them going straight..typical of most mercury alpha outdrive. I don't see them taking rough seas for more than a minute. I will stick with my 25ft CHawk.
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.
The engine just stalled out 3/4 through the cut… the Village pump had something to do with the engine not cranking back up again, and then the battery died..🤷🏻♂️
Boating......When the SHTF. Been there, had to be towed in more than once when stuff happened. Feeling of relief when help arrived was way over the top. Sheared prop pin. 2 broken anchor ropes. 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.
The Tow Boat US franchises can very. Most have a reputation for being fair., but one FL Keys franchise always managed to hit you with a significant charge for something. Whether you're a member or not.
So many drone camera shots with random acts of crazy going on.....glad to have the information on how NOT to pilot a boat but, wow. My Dad spent time in the Navy on a Fleet Tug (115' long, USS Atapaka) and told me many tales of how dangerous it is to handle other boats/ ships. Gained a lot of respect for the water.
Should he have dropped the anchor when he was out in the open water after the engine stalled? Genuinely want to know what would have beeen the best course of actions for his situation?
I agree with @jamesw.6931 except I'd also never let someone in the cuddy under those sea conditions to be banged around, possibly hitting wiring, snatching it by accident to steady themselves. Bud needs to puke there's an entire ocean to do it in.
Dirty fuel tank in an older boat, in rough seas will plug up the fuel filter. Dirty fuel filter before getting in rough water will plug up faster than a clean filter. Clean and flush older fuel tanks. It isn't cheap, but it is cheaper than the tow bill.
The drone operator isn’t in charge of their safety, the Captain is! Why didn’t he call for help or instruct a crew member too? If you sail a boat there is a reasonable expectation that you should be in charge of YOUR and YOUR crews safety.
Anchor was dropped… (2of them) didn’t make no difference, just glad we didn’t get slammed against the rocks in the Jetti 😩 i’m the guy in the camouflage pants
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. Glad everyone made it home safe.
@@BUFFDgaming The weight of the anchor isn't super relevant. Small anchors are designed to dig and dig harder as they're pulled. Ship anchors are only heavy to pull out the chain, and the chain does most of the anchoring. 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 Wavy boats with a 1000.00 dollar towing bill, and I won't have to spend 15 minutes typing this.👍⛵️🌊
@@Chris-fo8wp Sounds about right. Those operators look like random stoner kids. Could just as easily have been working for Pizza Hut if they got their applications in on time.
1. He should have stayed at home and read ' Basic Seamanship 2. Gone out and bought an anchor as instructed by 'Basic seamanship' 3. Bolted on an auxiliary out board bracket, and bought a cheap outboard 4 all that could probably have been done for less than his recovery fee
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.
Nice to watch Pros at work. They made that look easy. Hope that dude has good insurance. Wait till He gets a look at the bill. His headache is going to get a lot worse 😮
Soooo... no radio?... no cellphone?... no calls to police no call to tow helpers?... no life vests?, no anchor?... they gots a whole lotta nuttin'😂 honey.
If there was not enough anchor rode for the conditions perhaps a properly sized sea anchor or even a drogue from the bow could have slowed the speed of their drift towards shore, kept their bow into the waves and wind and given them a little more time.
Good news is he grounded on sand, and help was close by. The wind was right to blow him ashore, but we're the hell was the crew? Great job to the tow boat crew.
Was thinking about that too, rough waves start stirring things, quick decision to turn and it stalls. But I actually had a factory all correct fuel line disembowel itself lately, probably due to additives that have become more common, sometimes you just never know, felt for that guy opening the engine hatch trying to see what’s what… yup that’s the engine, totally dead, check…
He should manage the crisis in the order of the most important thing to do first. Stop the drift by anchoring. Then he can look at the motor. If the sea is too rough he can go call in a May day on his radio. I had Sea Tow, it is well worth it.
I don't know what kind of action he undertook to repair the Engine, but this is what I think happened. He was going with his boat for a nice trip on Sea, and it was some time ago he started it and he tried it at the port. Engine started quite fast, and run well, and the cooling was also working ok. Then he took the boat to the inlet, and the waves made the boat rock quit a bit, and because of that the sediment and dirt from the fuel tank started coming up and were quickly sucked into the fuel line on to the filters and in the carburetors. So the engine stalled quit quickly, and by repairing it it is better to go on your knee's then keep standing. When he finally drifted to the beach he could have repaired it there, but he was trying to push the boat back in the Sea. An Anchor would have brought the solution.
Why didn't he radio for help after being unable to restart the engine? It said in the clip 45 minutes later he started drifting towards the beach. That was enough time for someone to come and help.
I suspect there was water in the gas tank and as the boat was bouncing around the fuel intake line sucked in too much water for the fuel separator to handle.
I watched another clip of this same incident. He did try to anchor but he tried from the stern and not enough line let out. I don't think anchor ever caught. He should have deployed sooner and from the bow.
No radio. No anchor. No spare motor. NO BRAINS!. And that boat could be pulled off the beach with a 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!
@08:51 the propeller is in clear view. From the look of the blades, there is evidence that those blades have been driven into ground (soft ground, like sand or mud) with power on, at least once before. This one isn't their first rodeo, the "captain" has no business driving a boat. Better wait for NFL season and stick to the couch.
I wonder how many folks in all the condos have their telescopes trained on this scene? In our coastal cruising days along the Florida panhandle in a Morgan 32 we were always prepared to drop anchor offshore if the iron sail failed and the winds weren't favorable for making it into St. Andrews Bay under the real sails.
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.
I will never understand these people that go out and then just turn around. Either you know how to push through it or you don't. If you don't, stay home, or go somewhere else within your wheelhouse of experience.
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.
This is why you should always have a kicker motor, espeically out in the ocean! And you are correct, your anchor is your emergency brake, the minute he chould not restart the motor he should have dropped it right there. They you have time on your hands to access the situation and work on the motor.
I bet you the Captain of the disabled boat will probably run out to his Marine Supply and pick-up a small out- board bracket and a 10hp. outboard for the next break-down!
These sorts of lines aren't dangerous when they snap. Steel cable you have to worry about, sometimes, and kinetic lines too, standard rope lines don't store enough energy to really be a hazard.
I never understand why people try and get in the way of vehicles much heavier and sturdier than the human body. He wasn't doing anything once that boat was out of the water, he was just literally holding onto to what little dignity he had left
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.
What could the Captain have done differently here? Where is everyone watching from today? 🌎
Not buy a boat 🤷♀️
not be a loser drunk!
Perhaps he could have dropped anchor before he was in jeopardy of beaching the boat.
Stayed home and got drunk there. 🥃🍹🍺😂

Exactly, even when the captain banged his head they did nothing. That could have been a serious head injury.
I agree. Drone pilot had plenty of time to call for help and avoid the beaching. But that wouldn't make a dramatic thumbnail for yt.
Yep, overall this channel is entertaining, but they're pretty much jerks for not helping like in this case.

Always secure your boat (anchor, sea anchor, heave to, etc.) before tending to a broken engine or whatever. Also, this is why we pay for SeaTow.

Get friendly with boat owners
Anchor a half hour before beaching..
I dont think the skipper here knows how to do that, maybe he isnt even aware of an anchor at all

yay!

He may not have an anchor on board. I'm not kidding!

Get ready to pay 💰
To me it seemed like the cabin was trying to stop the boat from tipping over entirely to the passenger side while on the beach
I never understand why people try and get in the way of vehicles much heavier and sturdier than the human body. He wasn't doing anything once that boat was out of the water, he was just literally holding onto to what little dignity he had left
@@balloonedraccoon2503 Probably a reaction. I've seen people die on liveleak etc when they try to stop a rolling truck or something with their hands
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.
Man, if I ever bought a boat for ocean activity it would be minimum twin engines or nothing.
Great rescue. Came off the beach really well. Looked like the passengers were drugged or something.
