Thought I'd share a boating fail for you all to point and laugh at.
@Tadpole and I were heading back from St Cats one afternoon when all of a sudden the engine revs drop and it splutters off. In the ensuing silence, Tadpole and I look at each other with a sense of impending alarm. Before breaking out our swimwear I check the basics, starting with the vent on the fuel tank. Nope, it's wide open, so clearly not the problem, but I happen to notice that the fuel line connector seems to look a bit different, and I find that it's not fully pushed home! What a donkey! I must have failed to click it into place properly when changing the tanks over and it's not actually been sucking any fuel - we must have used up the fuel in the filter bowl and lines before conking out. Upon connecting it properly the engine spins into life and we heave a huge sigh of relief. Call of shame to Sea Start avoided, we make our way home without further incident, other than a bruised ego and a lesson learned.
I'm sure the Outlaws must have some good stories to share, so let's hear them.
