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.
@@I_Am_Your_Problem *Are you really that WOKE? (WithOut Knowledge or Experience).* It's to PREVENT the runaway boat from hitting swimmers and other boats TO PREVENT DAMAGE. Fouling the prop to stall the engine does not do permanent damage to the engine or lower unit. Why do you insist on offering opinions on things you don't know anything about? Would you rather the runaway boat mows down and chops up swimmers and other people in the water? Is that your remedy?
There's supposed to be, but some people don't wear them, or even worse - intentionally disable them. I don't get that at all. It's not in any way restrictive to wear it while driving.
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."
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.
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.
Myself and the one posting this video know damn well you are either a complete idiot or a troll...nobody in their right mind would purposely not install a kill switch in their boat and have the attitude that you have for not doing it in the first place:)@@UltraMagaFan
You keep getting better at the run away boat thing. The Bouy on the end of the tangle rope was a great trick.
I assume there is an auto-cutoff on most outboards to stop the prop from tearing itself/the line to pieces?
That was ENTIRELY too easy! I certainly wouldn't have thought of that. Very nice, thanks for sharing.

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

@@j.thomas7128take a chill pill the boat was in an open area there shouldn’t be any swimmers for about a mile or more
That's a neat tactic to stop a runaway boat! Pretty interesting, thanks for posting.
It's about the only way. The safest option atleast
Excelente trabajo.
Creo que debería usar guantes para no contaminar la escena.
Every video you post impresses the hell out of me. You should have your own reality show.
Losers watch "reality" shows. Grow up.
Isn't there supposed to be some kind of "kill-switch" tether thingy attached to the driver and the boat?
Yep but the doofus driving this boat was probably too cool or too busy to wear it...
Not in all boats.

Hey, you went fishing and caught yourself a boat! Good job!
I have never seen that technique used before. Very clever and safe. Better than risking someone jumping into a moving boat. Congratulations
A grappler for runaway boats, how cool ! Thanks
Wow. You make this look easy. You're very good at what you do!

Great job captain
That’s why these guys are the ‘experts’ at saving boaters, and Googans, and credit card captains from their own bungled misfortunes.
So the tow boat deployed the line that snagged the prop right. Very smart
Since it is an abandoned boat, does that mean you get to keep it?
Nice maneuvering brother.
I must have missed it……….what did you do to shut it off ?
Full how I did it is on another video.. I didn’t show it here.
Realmente no sé cuándo ni como lanzo la cuerda, excelente maniobra
That was pretty damn slick!
Great save. I love it when people try jumping into the boat. Lol
I cringe every time I see that!
Good job, captain

Good job Captain!
Simple, safe and effective!
That happened to me in my car on the 15 North, but the shore patrol wouldn't help me.
I hope they measured it. FWC will fine them if it’s too big.
Kill- cord?
Wear your safety lanyard!
That's cheating!
I was expecting them to chase the boat around and around. lol
Nice Job Cowboy!
I like it!
Does that hurt the outboard any?
Tough beans if it does. That is part of the cost of not boating properly.
@@chrisallen2005what are you talking about? Their steering cable snapped, and the motor locked full starboard. Thats why they were ejected.
Captain must be a cowboy he got that boat with his rope
Damn-how’s the family who got thrown off?
They were ok thankfully, luckily there weren’t any children on board.
It is the pilot’s responsibility to stop the boat he or she had let to run away.
Very interesting they foul the prop causing the engine to stall.
I am a real man with big balls on a big boat , I don't need a lanyard kill switch...
Never leave your engine running when you run in the beer store, even on the water.
And THAT friends is how you do that
Best thing to have in a boat is a hot foot gas pedal prevents all of this from happening
Preferably a lanyard and Killswitch. Hot foot is dangerous because in chop it’s hard to maintain throttle.
@@thebullgatorI’ve heard this for years but I’ve never had a problem with my hot foot in chop. 🤷
No s*** I can drive my truck down the bumpiest pothole Road and maintain speed why the hell is a hot foot any different.
Well done.
Some people shouldn’t own boats, or procreate
I thought it was normal tactic to have a lanyard on your kill switch… and attached to the pilot!!!
Clever girl
Just another day at the office…
Not as entertaining as trying to board the boat while is going but a hell of a lot smarter!
I have a kill switch with a lanyard for my 15 hp Evinrude. About $20.00.
Fouled the prop, stopped the motor.
wow timed that perfect ran out of gas
Damn
baller....

@@CaptainRetrieverI'm not spending $2,000 on hydraulic steering. I have better things to buy.
