So far I've only gotten stuck on the water once and needed a tow to get in safely. The engine will run on the high speed jet, but I have no desire to come into my marina at 4-1/2 - 5 knots with 3 tons of sailboat, nor do I want to be shifting at 1800-2000 RPM which is about as low as I can idle it when this happens. | |
