Went fishing again tonight and got skunked plus to add insult to injury the 'rude quit idling again. #-o
Anyway I ended up fishing kinda late and was headed back to the ramp in the dark, I had went upriver simply because I still don't 100% trust this motor but for some reason I got the urge to run past the ramp and circle around back to it. Come past the ramp and in the distance I saw something odd looking, curious I headed toward it and finally determined it was a boat with three guys in it. Mind you no anchor light, no nav lights, no flashlights... Anyway I shut my motor off and drifted up beside them and turns out they were having motor issues and need a tow back to the ramp, so I hook them up and pull them back to the ramp.
Through conversation I find out they didn't have a paddle, no life preservers, and no current registration plus it turns out they fish often from this landing. :shock: Great now I have to worry about running into these three brilliant wastes of space everytime I put in there as well...
To make it even better they start pulling tools out of their pickup truck and begin pulling their motor apart in an attempt to fix it, in the dark with no light other than the street light at the dock and were determined they were going fishing. :| I wished them the best of luck as I was pulling out. :roll:
