Does your lower unit look like this?

I sure hope NOT...makes for a real bad day.
Good fishing and boating to all, and watch that LOW water.

just a flesh wound.

in my distant past i worked in a boat repair shop.

That can be expensive. Check your insurance policy

Or,,,,you could name it the "Optional Super Trim and Tilt",,,,24 volt version.

Or,,,anyone sitting on the back deck will get a nice breeze.

Ok,,I'm through.:D

You mean that is not Super Reverse?

Saw one like that come out of Lake Powell once. The guy must have been a geologist because he said that the lake was full of half submerged fornicating type rocks.

Harry, just out of curiousity, how fast was that boat going when that happened. I ran up on a sand bar in the Delta once going about 10 knots. Made me get up close and personal with my steering wheel real fast.

I've been lucky in that I'v only removed the paint from the skeg while running my Mako in less than 1.5 feet of water. Biggest factor is to STAY on plane or push the boat out of the shallows. Pushing sucks!

Before anyone complains, I don't run in the sea grass and leave prop scars.

BTW, I hope your insurance covers the repair

I have seen that happen when old tire /wheels are in the water. they float low like a soaked log. very hard to see. better have a very good bilge pump. if it happens in shallow water it sits on the bottom and can be retrieved. if it is open water, oh well.

i bet that was for super reverse!!!!!

Santee Cooper stumps are famous for that sort of thing. Not a fun day for sure.
