bimini emergency

[mraz72]

Glad the folks made it back in one piece and that it seems everyone is ok, now for the engine diagnosis.
Quick dumb question, didn't want to start a new thread. When running on one engine you should clamp the cooling line of the engine that isn't running correct? Just like towing? I assume the answer is yes, just wanted to verify.

Correct, clamp the non- running engine.

@Bruce i think you need to make another bimini t-shirt! “I made it back from bimini with one engine!”

I think I'll qualify for that shirt.. We will see tomorrow!

Good luck, @bronze_10. I wish I could be there, carry your fuel, or something.
Godspeed!

Fantastic news!
@JetBoatPilot - well, you called it.
Good call!

@Dan_NC for our information - any idea how did they do on fuel? Did they manage with one tank or did they have spare fuel on board? That would be really good to know as a future reference.

I do not believe we know of anyone else attempting the Bimini crossing on one engine!
Very impressive, actually.
