That’s downright scary a highly congested area with rented boat captains. I’m surprised if he don’t burn up the engine

You see it in boats to a disturbing degree:
"The Dunning-Kruger effect effect occurs when a person's lack of knowledge and skills in a certain area causes them to overestimate their own competence."
Neutral = Raise the prop out of the water while in gear
Forward = Lower the motor until the prop hits the water
Reverse =
The impeller on that motor will be toast; not to mention the motor itself from running without coolant!

I WOULD NOT have been as calm as you two were! Believe me when I tell you in my younger days I used to carry a can of rocks in my boat for, well...

[WmRob]

You are way nicer than I would have been to that "gentleman".

[jimmabry]

"Why you filming us" because we can't believe they let folks like you rent a boat!!! Wonder how many "manatees" they plowed over, oh, that's right, none cause their motor wasn't in the water. REMARKABLE that the folks that rent these out don't take a short ride to make sure these folks can operate a boat SAFELY. PEACE and HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Astonished to see it pumping water when he lowered it after all that time. Don't see how the impeller didn't burn up, seen them go in seconds before.

Shane Carter, you're gonna love this one!!

[GodBlessedAmerica]

You put the motor down to go and up to stop. See. It’s easy. 😂🤣🤣

[bigt]

I hope y’all called that rental number and reported them, that’s a 6k motor their destroying 😡

[erichindemith]

That guy probably thinks the trim switch is a If he got that close to my boat, He would've gotten an ear full from

[danw]

Know exactly where that is. Yeah, Three Sisters spring during manatee season is not the place to not know what you are doing. Dangerously crowded. 😳

[joewilton]

If you guys are still in that area, hit silver springs in Ocala, boat ramp is right down from the park, idle speed all the way. Manatees all up and down the river. I’m headed that way in the morning from NC!!! Love the videos

[woodtick]

That guy has no business being behind the wheel of that pontoon. He a danger to everyone in that area.

[johnwood]

I'm up in NYC and now I look forward to retirement and moving south. On the water the day after Christmas. Lol just awesome. I think the boat was having problems. Lol safe travels

[redditchscroller]

From what I've just seen in the video powered watercraft of any type should never be allowed in an area where there are so many kayak / canoe type craft!

[mattmayo]

There really is a time and a place to learn.

[bongobill]

I understand that these people may not know how to navigate a rental boat but why in the world would they keep raising the motor out of the water ? Maybe they are testing the water pump….

[vincentcardilloiv]

When he said why are you filming me. You should have said it for insurance purposes when I sue your (Bass).

[dr.d.h.derkazarianphdmphms]

ANYBODY THAT RENTS ANY VESSEL SHOULD BE 'QUALIFIED PRIOR TO RENTAL TO AVOID "INJURIOUS STUPIDITY" ON THE WATER! 1600 TON MASTER CAPTAIN & 72 METER YACHT OWNER!

[chrisroberts]

“Why are you filming us?” So I have proof that you don’t know what hell you are doing and I proof if/when you hit me I can sue for damages.
