Back in my early boating days, I used to back the trailer into the water than climb in the boat and back it off the trailer. Well one cold Nov day I backed it down to far and it floated off and out into the middle of the cove (about 200 feet). So, I striped down to nothing and tied an old vinyl raincoat around my wast and swam out and retreaved it.

I was out boating and we stopped for a moment. I went to start the engine and it would start for a second then die. try it again and then start for a second and die. I gave it more gas while in neutral and the same thing happened only I got a little bit more rev in the engine. I am thinking clogged fuel line? Short some where? After about 5 more minutes of trying -- I realized that my kids had just barely pulled the safety switch that hooks to the driver just enough for it not to work. It became part of my routine to check when starting the boat.

Not in front of a busy ramp with kids all around. Chicks sure, but not kids.
