Hey guys, should they have anchored in the middle of the canal to avoid the Sea Wall? Let us know what you think. 👍
no, they can steer by throttle. Engines were barely turned to the starboard, this is an inexperienced captain.
Anchor would never hold with the strong flow of the tide. The 13 whaler just made it thru against the tide
NO. Never anchor in an inlet/canal and the water is too rough. Use the twin screws to steer. 🤦🏻♂️
No Sir. If they anchored in the canal/channel, they would just be an obstruction to other vessels and possibly cause a greater emergency. Also, like another poster mentioned, they could have steered with the twin screws and held their position away from the wall while help was en route.
Anchoring would create a hazard to other boats, I second the idea of using the throttles on the twin engines to steer, and hopefully avoid hitting wall, but not sure if there is enough distance between engines to effectively steer, but points out why one should try that in non-emergency time, just in case you did ever lose steering!
Mystery boat #1 is a Back Cove , built in Maine, one of their recent outboard models. The boat that lost steering and hit the wall demonstrates that if you have twin engines you should learn/practice steering using the 2 throttles , not perfect steering, but might allow limping to get to a marina or safer place to get out of the traffic.
Many 30ft + boat manufacturers now offer joystick controls coupled with electronic steering. If it fails, it becomes “locked” and you have no further control of it. I would never get a boat with one of these systems.
Looked like he had no steering at all.
@@paulym5814 but you can steer with the throttles using differential thrust. Some vessels do this better than others
@paulym5814 you can maneuver a vessel with twins using the clutch (forward or reverse) and accelerating port or starboard. I have held a 500 ton master lisence for the past 21 years. I once ran a 90 foot steel dragger 110 miles that I lost both steering motors in. It was a dingle engine, I used the outrigger stabilizer birds to steer. Dropped either port or starboard to keep proper heading.
Just have to say I appreciate the uninterrupted background noise. The sounds of water and engines at my stress inducing job is helpful.
Seriously, nothing like doing video editing lol SMH
That many boats on the water is not a good time to me.
At least they have friends, family and money. I have none and nothing to do.
That’s the Point Pleasant Canal, a nightmare on a good day.
Awful place to lose steering, they got very unlucky this weekend... Thankfully USCG was in the area and super quick to respond, great work by them!!
those metal sheet piles make the water dangerous. all waves come back through the sheet pile wall. if a waterway was made of large boulders, all the waves would be absorbed and the water would be much calmer
We saw the whole thing happen. My family and I were southbound on our center console 25ft grady white. I’m actually shocked I wasn’t in any of the shots - I must have just missed the cuts! That was bananas. I knew right away he lost steering
As long as no one got injured,Can always fix the vessel
Them Sea Tow guys are like the sleazy lawyers that listen to the scanner and show up to accident scenes.
I think they provide a necessary service or they wouldn’t exist. I know their prices are exorbitant, but the membership option can take some of the sting of that away. In any case here in Florida, I’ve seen SeaTow pull more than one embattled boat from many a situation.
its a twin screw. the engines never even need to turn and you can still steer
Exactly. If you know how to drive a boat and you have more than one engine you need not crash into the wall unless your fly by wire shorts out and you have no control on throttle and shift. When I'm docking or beaching my boat in a tight area I don't even touch the steering wheel.
It's ok to throw out some fenders when you lose stirring!
Considering how busy PPC, I don't think it would be a wise move. One boat hitting the anchor rope or chain can spell trouble. The Coast Guard was there in an instant. Got a love the USCG. Sorry about Sea Tow.
I’m cases like these it should be legal and standard to pop a handheld flare to notify other boaters of distress. Since boats don’t have any type of warning lights or colors to fly to signal this, aside from a horn.
0:16 OMG! A child in a life vest! Might be the first I've seen on here lol
Is it me or do Boston Whalers handle these waters well?
I think its more up to the driver
With all the boats and coast guard there someone should of had enough sense to lend a hand and captain of the boat that hit the sea wall should of accepted and realized he needed help
I think they should have left the engines running and used them to steer. Having two motors can do a lot if you know how to use them separately, even when they are in a immovable position.
Operative word here is “ know”!
Difficult in such fast moving water though.
I'm going to get some BUMPERS OUT!! Just let the seawall EAT YOUR BOAT!
i have never understood why a place with such a high side wall channel isnt a no wake zone as the wake hits the wall on either side and then bounces back into the middle on every boat and turns the water into a dangerous chop and then u add a very fast moving tide trying to enter or escape through a narrow channel it makes it even twice as dangerous and twice as stupid
It is a no wake zone, I think.
Beautiful blue water canal
It is nearly impossible to tie up on that wall. I dredged there and assisted the company that painted the sheeting and a spuded down barge almost couldnt hold in that current
How do you lose steering when you have twin outdoors and they both appear to be operating?
They probably had a joystick that failed, locking up their steering.
@@graphisnoblis by the looks of the steering rods in the first few frames, it doesn't have a joystick. just normal hydraulic steering. the new helm master from Yamaha has enclosed cylinders colour coded to the motor. probably lost fluid and didn't know how to steer with throttles.
Anyone else notice the SeaTow boat has a "cage" for the captain while the TowBoat U.S. boat had no cage protection for the captain while towing? Hmmm...
Remind me never buy a boat that calls Haulover its home marina. Those vessels have got to have so many problems. The second owner is getting stuck with whatever the first owner did trying to get the boat out of the inlet.
I believe point pleasant canal is in NJ, but your point is valid anyway, for any body of water. If one is going to buy a boat, one needs to learn how to operate that boat in the conditions in which one intends to operate the boat. KZhead is a great resource for learning how to handle not just tricky situations but the basics of operating a boat. There is no replacement however, for actual experience and practice, practice, practice.
His bilge pumps were pushing an awful lot of water out of that boat.
Thank heavens for Kellogg’s Corn Flake Packets. Where else would these so called Captains get their Marine Licenses.
The "Boat Lost Steering " because the "Doc" was not at the helm>
They should have put fenders out and secured the vessel to the sea wall or object on shore until help arrived. Also, twin engines give you lots of maneuverability even without steering, although they are close together.
If that tow line popped tow boy would be hurtin bad!
What a chaos all these boats.. 😬😬 it seams like that everiwant to go to the harbour so quickly as possible.. Indsamling stay at Starboard/ Right side of the direction.. Outsailing stay at their Starboard / Right side . Keep distance, Speed with care for each other..you don't win anything by go fast .. 😉🙂👍🌊👍
that was an inexperienced captain you can steer that boat with using the Throttles looked like the outboards were straight same principle like inboards just not as responsive but it would of worked
The Coast Guard did an amazing job!! Makes me want to watch the movie “The Guardian” again!! Outstanding movie!!!
Lekker man lekker 🇿🇦
Police response is glacial.
Why didn't the USCG just pull alongside and tie them up and tow parallel?
In that current?
@@dentalnovember Yes.
Vessel had to be towed through the canal and with the high collar of the disabled vessel it was likely to cause more damage to both vessels in alongside tow
Very difficult to setup a side row in those conditions, much safer to do a standard stern to like they did, although I might not have chosen to use the skiff-hook to the bow eye hook-up. Would prefer to use bow cleats, to avoid needing to reach under/between the boats to attach towline, but these Coasties practice all the time and would pick quickest, safest hook-up method I’m sure.
It's twin engine... steer it with the throttles at least until you can get it out of danger and then drop the anchor.
That was an extremely amateurish operation on the part of the CG and the disabled boat. .
That was physically painful to watch. Throw out the anchor? Yes. Use twin props to steer? Yes. Put out fenders? Also yes. Throw a line from the USCG boat and put it on a forward cleat to pull off the seawall instead of ramming them harder on it while trying to reach the tow hook? Also yes!
Jay the Florida pool pump motor repair guy. When Service Calls Longwood approved ! that was good info 2 see👨🔧good job !! Wavy Boats
What is the woman thinking? That she can push off all that weight with a stick 😂😂😂😂
Jeez...at least give the engines a little bump in reverse to keep the boat from being shredded on that steel seawall. Also to help the CG to attach the tow line.
The canal looks and acts more like Class IV rapids. Sheesh!
looks like the bilge pump was pumping on that boat so it must have been taking on water.
Mystery boat is a Back Cove 34 with outboards.
Something you don't see because they were lucky the tide was high is that there's large rock riprap at the base of the wall coming up on an angle from further out in the canal up to where it meets the wall. I used to fish along there years ago, as well as go through with our boat. That canal is a real bear to navigate
Mystery boat looks like a Sabre but might also be Hinkley.
Or a Back Cove?
When the coastguard appears disheveled… you know your screwed!😖
The doctor damaged his boat... That boat seems to be having lots of infiltration.. Those bilge pumps were working constantly.
Madmaxd. Looks more like a watercooled exhaust to me. Generatorset for power?
@@henkoosterhof5947 you could be right but running outboards with a "non-cabin" bow rider, a in-house generator seems unlikely.
@@madmaxd1 look at the flow please, its uneven! A: a bilge pump pumping not an even flow of water? B: an inbuilt genset discharging exhaust and watercooled? C: bilge pump on manual? But what type of pump gives this flow? I live in another part of the world but boats over here (europe) are ,,differend,,. To be speciffic. Its a 180°.
His steering locked up
Make an "L" shaped inlet to block the surge and wind waves. And SLOW down.
One of two things here….Blinker fluid or muffler bearings….
That’s what happens when the Coast Guard gets funding. When I was in we were under DOT and funding sucked,couldn’t get new vessels, the Bear class cutter was a joke, they ran out of money 2/3 of the way thru the first cutter and it looked like crap inside. It was a joke and a nightmare. Now, under Homeland they are finally being treated the way they should. Although I am strongly against them operating outside of US waters. I don’t believe they should be in Taiwan etc… but that’s just me. We do fall under the USN when the USN wants us in time of war.
Cutwater mystery boat
Dropping anchor would have been a good idea, or at the very least, they could have thrown some fenders over. The bow of that boat must be pretty mess up n
Bilge pump going like crazy.....something else going on.
That’s the generator spitting out water.
As a curious guy with 0 to none experience and knowledge about inlets, rough waters and outboards boating, just a tad of sailing. Could somebody explain me how are you supposed to "walk" through this? I would assume that a rough sea inlet is like a very bumpy road where both the car and the bumps are moving. I would also think that the longer a boat is, the more stable through the waves but with very high walls of water that length doesn't get you very far right? Quoting Jeremy Clarkson , SPEED AND POWER! is always the solution but watching some videos, just a few center consoles with 4 quadrillion hp can rip through the inlet where the roughness is 4/10 because I think of those boats as trophy trucks, that at very high speeds can eat those bumps like nothing. Long answers are appreciated, I have some freetime and I am eager to learn.
I know a fiberglass and gel coat guy!
Fenders??? Didn't handle a stressful situation very well
Fly by wire?
o8:28 I could see some gelcoat damage but then POP UP VIDEOS blocked the shot
I wouldn’t think boating would be fun there because the water is way too rough and it’s way too congested.
And the ballot machines would all break real quick because of the saltwater
@@ZacktheImpaler 😂😂😂🧙Don’t ya just love talk text? I fixed it. TY. You comment cracked me up.
Two motors should have been maneuverable
Why not close the canal while they were assisting. Hold all the boats at the ends if they have entered already.
Looks like clusterfk
They got owned by the sea wall! and Yes good video!
Well the captain is too busy jawin' and poor lady is watching the boat get tore up on the sea wall...get ready for that bill...
MJM Yacht. Mystery boat
Not sure of the misery boats size but an older mako. Early 70,s
With twin engines he could have steered
The Captain leaves the Wheel as his mate tries to keep the boat off the wall. Keep it in reverse, anchor and minimize damage….Clueless…..
Steel pilings vs plastic boat. Wonder who won that match?
Should learn to twin stick it and he would be able to steer
Another Boston Whaler?
Oops I did it again!
Mystery boat is a Back Cove
You beat me to it. I just watched the video and knew it was a back cove too.
He could have steered the boat with the 2 motors
I wonder what kinf od engine control system they had in this boat?
Probably hydraulic steering that leaked out.
Maybe hit reverse
Seems like very unpleasant boat experience this canal
no anchor, too much current, get it to sea wall, stay out of maniacs way, wait for sea tow etc, pay for glass damage later.
First you you do is put life vests on
Is the canal calmer if boats travel at idle speed?
Not very good advertisement for yamaha or not to blame?
Nice to see everyone especially the kid wearing life jackets... not
I get that they are mostly people just out of high school, and thank you for your service and all that, but holy cow that uscg crew was inept. People should watch the "dangertv" series of the uscg in Alaska. Obviously the consequences are far more deadly in those waters, and their training and abilties show it.
No, both engines were operating and could fully control the boat using the shift and throttle That's how I operate my twin outboard vessel at slow speeds
That wasn't really a crash mate, more like a hard bump. Way to exaggerate.
A captain with twin engines and still cannot steer needs to sell their boat.
@@edwardranno7119 so they can no longer control the port and starboard engine separately? Sounds like a terrible system IMO if that is the case.
Fly by wire has nothing to do with forward and reverse thrust, he should have been able to do something to stay off the wall. IMHO.
90% drunk maybe
Hey dont put the fucking fenders out or anything, let the gel coat handle it. SMH!
Boating should be fun. None of that looks like fun.
He didn't need helm steering , he had twin engine's (throttle steering) you can steer that boat just as well with the engines.. Total novice captain! Doesnt have a clue about running ahis boat..
Dr. Should have just made a stiff drink then. Useless
Definitely should of dropped the anchor..... that poor boat
I thought the rescue crew was kind of lame.
Never seen such incompleteness, should have had a rope ready ,thrown to lady on bow and towc,wats so bloody hard
At my age my mum still change the channel😒whenever they're kissing👄 😲I always laugh😂becos dis woman doesn't know me🙈🙈😏🙄
I really wish y'all wouldn't do the stupid intros
No way w all that boat traffic tide rippin thru that canal can you anchor throw fenders over tie now stern lines to sea wall
Too many boats in one place at same time. Bound to turn into mayhem. 🫣
