didn't we have a good day today?????
nice hot sunny day, decided to take the kids out from woodys to get some squid and hopefully some KG then end up at canarc for a swim and a couple of beers,,,,,,,sounds great, lets goooo.
2 klms out from woodys i here a strange noise comming from my 200 yammy 2st,,, what the,,,, then she locked up,,,,,,,,,,, she has sized, no warning whatsoever. Yes before anyone ask, my temp/oil alarms do work and the mator was cold. i think it has spun a big end bearing.
thanks for my mate that towed me back in.
all in all an exspensive day, hope its covered under insurance.
p.s
one good point, while at anchor waiting to be rescued we had a fish, 15-20 baby snapper all returned good except for 1 that floated away, swallowed the hook a bit to deep.
cry,cry,sob,sob,,,i am going to get drunk now.

if its the bearing it wont
if its the bearing it wont be covered as it is wear and tear.we had a seal go that caused the gearbox to go but as fishing line was wrapped around the shaft it was covered but only 50%. . not good news about the motor at all.however it looks like the pinkies are doing well. hope its nothing too serious with the boat
