I was around then, turned out to be low voltage to the micro commanders. They ate at Houston's and upon startup, boat went into forward with...
Was that the Wesport 112' in the late 90's? I remember that back then, tried to take the Atlantic blvd bridge out.
Yes, supposedly.
It was not a scary OH MY GOD moment, it just made a hard turn as if you turned the wheel hard over.......had we happened to be passing another...
