Wowza. Get the chase boat a little closer before jumping over. Lucky nobody got hurt really bad.

For some people 60 is too fast. Glad only pride was hurt.

How did the motor trim down on it's own. Is that a function in the motor.

When it blowed out and hooked the motor actually tried come up ,of course trim caught it and fell back to where it was

At 2:09 into the video the motor trims down causing the boat to come on to plane, that's what I'm referring to.

Yes it does.....good question.

Wow, that trim thing was weird as heck. Lucky fellers

[XstreamVking]

Was very strange....Maybe lost fluid/seals/check valve during the spin out.

I did a search to see if that is a feature on the Honda outboards and couldn't find anything saying it has any kind of auto trim feature.
I wonder if the boat had a blinker style trim and something fell on it from when they were ejected?

I just watched it again. It took a while for the trim to come down, but when it did it did it pretty quick. Computer thing sensing motor load maybe?

And that idiot that jumped into the back of the boat to stop it almost didn't make it. Plenty of idiots over there for sure!!!

I went and signed up at iBoats and asked in the Honda forum, thought it was a Honda outboard. But one member told me it looked like a Yammy and Yammy's have an auto trim feature. Here's the links he posted.

What did he hit? Another wave? Turn too sharp? Blowout at 60mph?
