Keith I do a series called boneheaded boaters of the week would you mind if I used about 30 seconds of this in one of the episodes? I would of course give you credit for taking the video in it.
Take a look at his propellers at 2:20 when he accelerates. The drive (the gearbox where the propeller is) is not fixed and is pushed out of the water. So there is actually something wrong with the guy's boat.
Actually, watch the stern drive pop out of the water at 2:21 under hard reverse. That shouldn’t happen. There’s a reverse lock down on some drives that can break.
The moment when you realize driving a boat is harder than a car. Also, the camera guy should have helped if he was a member of this marina other than shaming someone.
idk ive had this problem with my boat before. it wouldnt go into gear unless i was really heavy on the throttle. had to "break" it into gear. looks like the same issue here
Thanks goodness it wasn't windy. He has a bit of a breeze he could have used in his favour. As it was, everything was against him. This guy has no clue.
How hard can it be?! I had an old 28 foot wooden junker of a boat with shaft drive and an engine that would die in neutral. Docked it with wind down a canal far smaller than this without issue. Just take it easy and take your time. Geez.
No. This is why some should take responsibility and get lessons. Cards are just another tax/fee. I safely single hand my Catalina 30 , and the harbor patrol watch me in complete control all the time. I teach safety to everyone on my vessel as well as other boaters. Cards for 'tards' maybe, but Ask me to produce one will see someone getting a pole into the water and I'll leave em to it.
thats a ride or die chick right there she is totally doing everything she can to help. most fmeales would be sitting down as this chaos insued, oblivious to the consequence
And they call it pleasure boating......No brakes, no control....and as the panic sets in...the boat takes on a mind of its' own, as the adjustments don't help, they are not the ones you need, so you adjust again...the panic gets worse, then you hit boats, as you use an aluminum pole to fend yourself off...that usually bends....ping pong goes on...and you wonder why in hell you ever thought you had this handled.....being parallel to a horizontally docked boat....pushing off again...your dock seems like a needle head now......If you don't dock on a regular basis, this is what alcohol was truly meant for......
I love the comment that something is wrong with our boat 🤣 Problem is the driver and goes to show just because it has a steering wheel it doesn't proform like a car 🤣
They were close enough to paddle or pole to the slip, and putting the motor in neutral is the only sensible move. Easy to drift, but foolish and possibly expensive to continue motoring out of control. Hard to crash a boat that is not being propelled, into other boats. Easy to fend off from other boats and make way to a slip without a shit show and possibly wreaking your boat. Regardless of whether the boat was working properly, this lack of proper procedure almost caused millions in damages.

I've seen that problem before. The boat has a faulty connection that runs from the chair to the steering wheel. Seen it many times.

Hey, I am a sub and love your channel!
"There's something wrong with the boat." The driver got his license out of a Wheaties box. :)
There is nothing in the boating license exam that covers how to drive the boat.
Take a look at his propellers at 2:20 when he accelerates. The drive (the gearbox where the propeller is) is not fixed and is pushed out of the water. So there is actually something wrong with the guy's boat.
Then turn the damn engine off and get a tow!!! How many boats did they hit?

Just noticed that prop pop out too. Definitely something broke
Good eye.
OK something wrong with the boat? well everymove he makes is overcorrected, says I sitting in my chair watching. HMMM
Don't dock by committee. One person in charge.
There's something wrong with the boat for sure, but it's an easy fix; never let that person be in control of it again.
Lady on the bow should take the helm
Man wHere did you win the licence
Don't people think about having some lessons before getting on a boat. But then saying that it has got a wheel so it must be the same as a car 🤣🤣
This is the point where the insurance company sees this and cancels their policy.
“There’s something wrong with our boat”....yeah, your captain needs to be replaced.
I don’t navigate boss, I just steer.
An old boating adage: "You steer with an ahead prop." Never more true than this fiasco.
That must be Captain Meathead at the helm. Maybe too many drinkie Pooos for the captain?
Boating lessons are a good investment! Hire a captain for a few lessons
I agree ☝️
There is something wrong with our thing you know what its called? "The Driver" lol

No. Morons should not steer boats.
They got there in the end, which is what counts. It’s so much easier with an outboard.
Dude has zero fenders out. But thank god he has the metal grill cover hanging off the side.
But Hey!! At least he held a low speed!! :) and no full send :D

Aside from all the other errors, way too much speed. Neutral is your friend!

Theres something wrong with the "boat"! Looks like user error to me :)
I watch the Sunday sailors every weekend in DP...People need to take a course before they buy a boat.
In computing we call this "PEBKAC" - Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair. Or they're dealing with error ID107.
Most of us have already been there

This is why we all need California boater cards now.... 🤦
LOL

I keep a jet ski at my slip for just this crap so I can go out and act like a tug to save my Carver...

What a champion lol. Staying on the boat while fending off like that is a talent.
Too heavy handed on the throttle. Just use the drift and calm down. Tell mama to quit wandering around and tell that guy aft to stay put.

Prop walk at its best
If you're at the dock, you turn off the motor. Especially if you have crew on the dock.
Exactly but unfortunately they weren't at a dock now were they?

First of all I think his motor is trimmed all the way up? And he should practice with remote control boats before he try’s out a big boat 😂😂😂
The malfunction is with the boat dealership that allows dummy's at the helm.
Finally figured out slower is better.
With the wife on the bow, yelling 3 different directions at a time.....he should have just tried walking on water.
Instead of filming... put you phone down and give a hand...
People get nervous 😬 especially when being filmed
The problem with the boat is it has way to many Noobs on her😂
This guy shouldn't be allowed to sail a rubber ducky
Best bet, put a for sale sign on it and walk away!
I dont think its the boat , its the person at the helm . Too much throttle . And not enough experience .
Failure would be to not get the boat docked
That's a big boat for 1 engine. 2 engines are so much easier
There's something wrong with our boat ? You never learned how to pilot it. That's what's wrong with you're boat
"Something wrong with our boat" haha nah no there's not it's the people on it
What are their intentions??
wow, just wow
Turn it off and paddle it in before this pile of shit damages some body else’s pride and joy
kinda big girl to walking over that hatch or window
Some dummy's shouldn't have a boat
just sad.....
He as no clue how.
all was good at the end. job had been done
🤦♂️
The poor guy has no clue what he is doing.
Video waste of time
Shity driver
