Actually it ran out of gas.....

There is some question as to the accuracy of the gas guage.... but the real
answer here could be more deep. Since we know Bayliner is a "price boat"
most often bought by new boaters. Then equipment aside, new boaters are
bound to make more silly mistakes than experienced boaters.

So even without equipment failures, I think one is bound to see more newbies
driving Bayliners.

The other one I towed here on Hartwell had the duel issue that the starter
bendix needed some WD-40 and improper starting procedure on the POS Force it
was equipped with. Again - brandy new boater - used 1st boat. This one was
easy as I sprayed his bendix and showed him how to start an outboard.

My wife and I came to the conclusion that Bayliners might have a duel issue.
The equipment AND the overall caliper of operator.

What were the causes of the towings? If engine related, could hardly
be the fault of Bilgeliner, since they don't make engines and drive
trains.




On Hartwell Clams, as in Lake Hartwell along the SC/GA border??
