David Attenborough voice: “Watch closely as the ever watchful sea tow that is native to this inlets stalks it’s next prey. Observe as it approaches cautiously yet waiting for the prey to haplessly corner itself. Working together in a symbiotic relationship with a jet ski to locate and take down the mighty vessel. Fascinating”

My favorite is the narration of the Trump creature that Lincoln Project did. Like the Trumpus Narcissus or something like that.

Thank you for the video . I watched this scene a few days ago on another channel and I was so frustrated / aggravated by all the comments I read that for one of the first times in my life I was speechless . Apparently there are a lot of folks who do not understand how a twin screw inboard propels / maneuvers . It is obvious that this skipper only has his starboard engine running .In this case his boat will want to steer hard to port . This isn't like a twin outboard or even inboard outboard whose drives are pretty close to the center line of the boat . The inboard configuration is the motors are spaced pretty far from the center line . This is why he is able to steer the boat just with his wheels . But when underway those motors have to pretty well matched in rpms for the boat to go straight or it will veer in the direction of the lower rpm motor . Now imagine one motor isn't working at all . Let me end with this . Your driving around on your nice new caterpillar D8 bulldozer . It's a sunny day and you're having a good day when all of a sudden your left track locks up . Your engine is still motoring right along . In which direction is your shiny bulldozer going to veer off to ???

richard welk iv no you actually can steer with one engine under power pretty easily my family owns a 43 ocean so almost the same boat just a quite a but newer and we only put one engine in gear when in our local channel or else we throw up to large of a wake. The wheel doesnt even need to be cranked to far either so Im pretty sure it was a very different issue.

From what I can hear he lost the mechanical link (Propshaft) to one of his props, causing the boat to turn to the left, you can hear one of the engines rev like it has no load on it. So as he gives power to both engines the right one is spinning the prop giving thrust and the left one is just spinning the engine and not the prop making the boat go left.

Boating 101. The bouncing in the waves stirs up sediment in the fuel tank and clogs the fuel filters just at the wrong moment at the inlet. Experienced boaters in California have dual fuel filters, and a man stationed at the valve to switch filters at just the critical moment at the throat of the inlet.

Grandpa died peacefully in his sleep...unlike the passengers on his boat...

And that one tow paid for the membership and saved him the cost of his boat.

Several years ago at Hillsboro Inlet In Pompano FL, a Princess S66 had similar issue while the boat was being washed towards the rocks, myself and a friend riding our wave runners pushed his bow around . We then attended to tow the boat but the current was to strong. Only thing we could do is keep him off the rocks by pushing the bow around till another boat joined in and tow him. The police patrol boat then got there and assist in pulling to.

As someone who has been in some very tight spots while boating I really enjoy your vids. I imagine a fair number of viewers have never experienced the completely compromising feeling that over takes you when shit goes south on the water. I love to see vids when it all works out and even the ones when it doesn't because it keeps me humble as a boater and reminds me that the seà has the reins and one has to be constantly on their toes.

What gets me is the total lack of activity indicating an emergency anchor deployment. I get that this would not be a good place to have to anchor but if it's the only thing that will keep you off the rocks? My first thought was that he had a fuel filter clog but after rewatching the video and reading a few of the comments loss of power to the port prop seems more likely. I'm glad to see them make it in safely and I was happy to see all of them wearing their PFDs!

It is indeed, nice boat. Big enough to run to the Bahamas and stay out if the fish are biting but small enough for two to handle easily. Fuel bill would be eye watering tho.

I also have an Ocean, albeit quite a bit smaller than this one (40ss) but it's clear from the video this guy is operating without the port engine. You can relatively easily run a boat like this on one engine, in fact when I lost a turbo on my starboard 3126, I limped home 6 hours on one engine. In a situation like this however, it becomes an emergency when you lose an engine. With a 4kt current ripping against you in the mouth of an inlet in moderate chop, you need thrust over both rudders to maintain safe headway.

Also, it's uncomfortable for the people who don't need to be up there because the rolling motion is magnified, and it's more distraction for the helmsman who clearly has a lot to think about in this situation.

This is why it's important to pay attention to the tides/sea state.

I will at least give him some points for most of the crew having life preservers on.

Wouldn't let him have a rowing boat let alone a motor cruiser.

A boat that works perfectly in calm water all of a sudden starts to lose power or quit altogether once it gets rough likely due to all the crud that has been sitting on the bottom of the fuel tanks becoming mixed and clogs the filters. Now you are really in trouble. It pays to use the stabilizers and every couple of years drain and clean the tanks.

try the same thing with no towboat and a water temp of 35F, a newfie in a skif keptme straight while he also towed me in almost 1/2 mile.
