A friend of mine got caught in a storm.
The boat flipped.
And the 15 hp outboard sank.


Please check the conditions before going out and always wear a PFD.

Windfinder is an excellent website to plan your trips , chase good weather , and avoid bad weather.

It may also be useful to bolt your OB to the transom.

He'll be alright. He's tough.

He's ex Canadian Armed Forces

Crazy enough to dive down and retrieve his 15

Glad he's okay.

Now that I would like to see - a whole thread on retrieving it and the rebuild. Any local divers up for the challenge?
