Wayne SW/MO Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Many aluminum boat transoms are wood/aluminum sandiwiches and the older ones aren't treated against dry rot forever. I don't know that this was a cause, but it has and can happen. Fortunately the first sign is when someone overdoes the throttle in reverse and sees movement that should be there. Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdmidwest Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 No Wayne, the cause was the glass boat moving at 45 mph and striking a bridge pier that was slightly under the water, causing the motor to fly off the transom into the passenger.
