[QUOTE="Ristorapper, post: 257385, member: 810"] They were worried that traveling back with the dead motor may damage the hull/boat/other motor so decided to cut it loose. They went out days later and recovered the motor with a huge inflator bag and divers. I had the opportunity one day on Lake Sakakawea to help load a 250 or was it a 300HP motor onto the back of a pickup in Garrison bay at the boat dock. Boater hit a submerged log way out at Nishu point going full tilt. He had been towed in (all that way) and was at the dock just after we had loaded up for the day. Guy came with a portable welding truck. Must have been contacted to be there. Anyway the only thing holding the motor onto the boat was a single ram. The owner wanted the motor off of the boat and into the back of his pickup. He asked if anyone knew the weight of the motor. I popped up with 500-600 pounds. We had 6 or 7 guys standing around gaucking so we had the manpower to load it up on his truck. Owner said he'd let the insurance company worry about it as far as damage. [/QUOTE]
