So Jer, how many bottles of wine does it take to float a net? Inquiring minds want to know. 😁
I was able to put 15 or 18 corks in my net. I really can’t remember.
I’m thinking just a few bottles of wine to float my boat😆😆

Who knows what really goes on below us. Saw one yak on here last year that uses lights for attraction.

I think Mickey’s been to that same place plumb!

So, back to the origins of this post... for the last 40 or so years I always towed my boat with the throttle handle in FWD. When I was taught this there was several reasons explained. One was safety and another was that any mechanical movement on any machine causes wear and tear. And the last one was the driveshaft only turns one direction on an OB motor so if your prop was spinning backwards and you hit a bump hard enough to temporarily engage the drive gear it could spin the driveshaft backwards enough for the impellar key to fall off. Get to the Lake and you'll be running around without cooling water. All were good enough reasons to make this a habit for me. I have no experience and no idea if it is applicable to today's newer engines.

I always put mine in gear because I have seen many dry spinning. The water pump impellor is on the prop shaft that is spinning dry. An old mechanic told me to do so many moons ago.
