bass boat out one afternoon, started running back to the ramp toward dark and the gears in the lower unit ground themselves up, tons of power, not go forward or reverse. Miles from the ramp so trolling motor not much help. Finally flagged someone down after a couple of hours and he towed us back to the ramp. This was before cell phones tho so I get back to the ramp about midnight and my pop is there and frantic that I had drowned or been in an accident. Crazy night
