About 8 years ago we headed out through deception pass to do some bottom fishing on the 5Th of july. All went well until we ran back, going through the the pass the engine just up and quit. Well that was bad but its never been something we couldn't fix. Pull the cover, check the engine nothing. Pull the manual and try to figure out what was going on-still nothing. So by that time we're getting swept out pretty far and its getting dark so we pull out the flair gun. Fire a few rounds and through the binoculars watch the people on the beach point and laugh-must have thought it was fire works. Eventually we start running out of flaires and pull out the CB. That didn't work either. So we sat and messed around with the motor some more. Somehow we got it started but we couldn't get any more than idle out of it-figure what the he77 we'll take what we can get and run with it. Two hours later we reach the pass and manage to work the shoreline and get inside. Once inside it dies again and we have to row it 200 yards to the dock. Get there load it up and take it to the mechanics. They looked at it and couldn't figure out how it started-pretty lucky.
