    Man maybe you can get that lucky and that's all it is!

    Yeah, that's pretty extreme. Maybe he thought it was a trick and you were a pirate!

    That’s the nature of society these days. People will report the dumbest sh!t without determining the context.

    The amount of emergencies I responded to that we neither emergencies, nor would I give any concern to was frustrating as a first responder.

    Default Engine just died

    Going to throw my 2 cents on “helping” boaters.

    I will preface my take by saying I have helped MANY over the years, towing,fixing, backing in newb trailers, throwing a spare drain plug to a sinking boat etc over the years.

    If someone is in distress, you help.

    However, I can’t tell you how frustrating it is to take time from my lake day to help when the boat in question is in poor operating condition, lacks simple tools, lacks an anchor or tow rope etc. It comes across as there lack of preparation ends up being someone else’s burden.

    You know the guy who launches his boat, then while tied to the launch dock, has engine cover open working to get boat to run……I automatically call odds 50-50 he will need a tow. If your boat is questionable, don’t launch it.

    Shit happens and I will still help, but I recall in my jet ski days, the same boat that was cursing my jet ski, sure didn’t mind me towing there hoopty boat when stranded.

    Lastly, the lack of marine cops on the water sucks. Lakes are almost a free for all anymore and marine cops are helpful to tow you back. Amazes me how many boats go the wrong direction and don’t know how to deal with a boat towing a rider etc.

    The way to test your boat, for multiple issues.

    Get a fuel pressure gauge, on the fuel rail you should have 60+ psi
    If you don't its the pump or filter generally.

    Start up sequence on the engine.

    Turn key, engine will look for the crank position sensor, then will look for fuel rail pressure, cranks engine, starts and looks for oil pressure.
    I am not positive of how much fuel pressure it needs on the rail but after you start it if you have an issue the rail pressure drops and ecm shuts you off.

    This is assuming you crank and start, then die.
    Not crank and never start.

    Some people don't like to tow because they become legally liable for any damages that occur to your boat while they are towing it. In this sue happy world we live in I can understand why some people would rather just call the pros than take the chance of getting drug into a lawsuit. That being said I still take the chance that people are generally good and tow when someone needs it. I had to be towed a good distance back in 2018 when the starter on our boat died in just about the worst possible place. Thank goodness for fellow forum members!

    Excellent point, man I would be pissed if……..

    1) I got sued helping
    2) damaging my boat pulling another

    I haven’t had the opportunity to tow with my Supras, was super easy with a jet ski or my old pontoons.

    Things that make you give pause.

    we have towed our fair share over the years(funniest was a lady showing my sis her fake boobs and pounding beers while towing back) BUT I will also say that we have passed up boats on 2 occasions. both were miles from the docks and would have taken up almost 2 hours to tow back and return and frankly, it wasn't on the agenda for the day. hate to fall into stereotypes but both we passed on would fall in larry's description of boats that are not prepared for the water based on looking at them and the $hitshow that were aboard both.

    some will lambaste me for passing up BUT they both caught tows within the next hour from the lake popo so didn't lose too much sleep over it.

    I'm 100% with larry in that when you see someone working on a trainwreck of a boat at the launch, they get it started and all load in for the day, there's a tow brewing.

    My 2007 Supra had the inline filter mounted on the starboard side. Towards the front of the motor. One screw held the mounting bracket in place.
