Question: Outboard motor tilt trim will not work.? Posted: 28 Sep 2014 12:58 PM PDT Outboard motor tilt trim will not work.? Motor will go up a few inches and stop. Wait a few minutes and it will go up a few more inches. Takes half and hour to get it to go up all the way and back down. When the motor stops going up the switch just makes it click. |
Question: What is it called to be scared of boats? Posted: 28 Sep 2014 12:03 PM PDT What is it called to be scared of boats? I have a weird phobia of boats. And no, I'm not afraid of being on water or sinking or anything like that, as I've been on many boats many times... I'm scared of actual physical boats. |

Question: How big would a storm have to be to sink a big ship? Posted: 28 Sep 2014 01:29 AM PDT as Sailor said, it's more the condition of the ship..poorly maintained ships can break apart in weather I've sailed through ina forty foot boat; ships badly loaded can roll over.........google "Halsey's Typhoon"....where the USN got caught by a typhoon in the Pacific...three destroyers rolled over and went down with all hands, USS Hancock had her flight deck peeled off by a wave, USS Cowpens rolled so much her planes down below broke loose and caught fire and a President named Gerry Ford earned a medal putting the blaze out. Queen Elizabeth I took a wave on her bridge in a Winter North Atlantic storm that punched out the window.......bridge was 110 feet above the waterline. Wood and then steel sailing ships went around Cape Horn, the worst weather in the world 11 months of the year, for 500 years and most made it; sailing for weeks at a time into 50, 60, 70 knot winds and 50 foot seas. Tough people. First pic is Cowpens, rolling her guts out and on fire down below; second is USS New Jersey buried in a wave;Hancock in the background is about to lose her flight deck forward. |
