After a small incident I was in the water trying to leave the dock quickly and had one engine on and forgot to turn in the other . Left the dock no wake speed . Then I put full throttle 5 times and stopped but wasn’t getting anything above 10 miles an hour . Until I figured out I don’t have the other engine on . Turned it on , had a blast all day , no lights came up. Do you think I’m safe or I might have hurt the engine? Thanks ?
 
Have you checked the oil yet? As long as it's good color i wouldn't worry about it
 
I haven’t yet but could it mess it up and run for 3-4 hours perfectly fine?
 
If it started, you should be good. Nothing hydrolocked or broken. Check oil as said.

I’ll check the oil Tom , thanks
 
You probably are just fine if water was in the engine you will see a milk colored oil and if so you need to change it and the filter, now as for your captains license just turn it in at the desk and GO TO YOUR ROOM!
 
Oh and how the hell can you have 2 engines in an AR19
 
Yea lol on your information now get back in your ROOM !!!
 
I figured it was something like that but I had to pull your chain, now get back in your room!

lololol. I love the attitude!
I used to be like that. And then... something happened I got old? lol.

Seriously though, I think your engine is fine! Check the oil, always a good idea.
