The other night I was out with the family. My wife was driving the boat. She wasn't paying proper attention and suddenly found herself coming at the dock at a high rate of speed. She panicked and threw the boat (2007 Mobius LS - direct drive) into reverse going pretty fast which killed the engine instantly. Luckily she avoided missing the dock. My question is can putting it into reverse going that fast hurt the boat? It obviously caused the engine to die.

Thanks,
