i need help understanding something, I has nothing to do with my boat. I'm just curious.
So after last nights very bad storms I went out and towed a single engine 24' I/O in. He was running about 4000rpm in rough, wind blow waters. He says he was trying to beat the storm. He heard a loud noise then lost the drive. Engine was running great just no go.
My questions are, How much stress can the internal parts take? Can bad water conditions and hard running really blow one of these up? What is in there to just snap?
