Sunk Outboard Engine Recovery in 100 Feet of Water ! (Fluid 10m Accident)

Duration: 31:47 Views: 1.2M Submitted: 5 years ago
Description: I was doing a sea trial on one of the best boats I've sea trialed "Black Betty" We were pushing the boat hard in pretty rough conditions and the rib lost an engine going full speed.The boat violently turned and luckily that boat console had seat belts if not we would have been ejected.The Shockwave ice 3 console is fully suspended and really has to be experienced to realize how good it is.

We lost the engine so Boyd from Sirocco Marine had asked me to retrieve the engine.I hired Deep Contact Diving Inc. and we were able to locate and bring up the engine.After doing the recovery i'm even more certain we made the decision that day.

Special thanks to South Florida Marine Center for supplying parts i needed and an outboard dolly. Those guys are clutch and always bail me out of any outboard engine questions that i need. True techs that know their stuff 305 258-5005
